    Loved this house - it was a perfect rental that met all of our needs while dealing with storm damage. Kim (owner) was so nice and helpful. Could not ask for more.

    My husband and I along with our dog spent 3 weeks in this lovely rental. The description was accurate, cabin was clean and we had most everything we needed. We especially enjoyed cooking out, sitting on the deck and enjoying the view and cool weather. The neighborhood was great and our dog met so many people on our walks. We spent time in Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and other nearby scenic areas. We hated leaving and going back to the hot weather in Houston.

    The VRBO host, Kim, was exceptional! She was responsive, welcoming, and concerned. The property was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The decorations were an added bonus. Finally, the neighborhood was quaint, quiet, and clean. If you are looking for a great retreat by yourself, with a partner, or with your family, this property will exceed your expectations!

    We came to the Owl House for my husband’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The house was clean and comfortable, but our favorite part was definitely the porch area and outside space. The owners communicated very well and the surrounding community is lovely.

    Mill Ridge is a very pretty mountain community. The common grounds are nicely maintained with small ponds and river views. The house does not currently look as nice as photos online. We cleared fallen tree limbs along pathway to front door and the yard was a mess. Had to sweep and tidy up front and back decks. The interior was clean but not very inviting. The 5 cup coffee maker worked part of the time. The master bed was comfortable, didn’t use other bed so don’t know about that one. We still enjoyed our stay in Banner Elk and surrounding areas. (Didn’t have any communication with property management so gave 3 stars for that)

    We came up for the weekend with our two dogs to see our daughter, who of a student at Appalachian. The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The house was welcoming, comfortable, and adorable.

    We had a great stay at this cute little cabin for our recent ski trip to Sugar Mountain. It is in the perfect location just 15 min to the mountain and 15 min to Boone. House was very clean and had everything we needed - even a dog food and water bowl for our pup. Enjoyed having the small park area for the pup and kids to run. Loved the retro 70s decor of the cabin - so fun! Great and easy check in and out and prompt communication from the owner. Great place!
