Poston/Byers Cabin-Appalachian Ski Mountain-Walk to Skiing

The home was orderly, clear instructions left for all the amenities. Very close proximity to the ski slopes and really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere!

Great proximity to App Ski Mtn. for anyone looking to be on the slopes from open to close with short breaks back in a cozy spot.

We traveled to ski App Mountatin (3rd year) and are familiar with the area. The host was wonderful and handled any issues quickly. The home was nice, outdated...but we loved that. It felt like we were staying at Grandma's mntn. home. While the home is within walking distance to the ski lodge, the incline is steep and hard to walk back and forth after a day of skiing...we ended up driving back and forth. If you own/drive a minivan or sedan, do not rent this location. The driveway is not safe and can become difficult with rain/mud.

Cabin was cozy and the kitchen had most of what we needed. Main heat was adequate so did not use the Franklin stove. The upstairs rooms were comfortable but the bathroom was best for small children. Could use an additional heat source for the basement area. Main floor bathroom toilet ran constantly but was good for the pipes since the outdoor temperature was freezing. Great water pressure in most of the house except man floor bathroom sink. Small water heater so showers needed to be spaced out over the day. Great 8 person dinning room table. Comfortable seating in the living room.

Nice cozy cabin, close to the slopes.

Charlotte, the owner was very thoughtful and thorough in explaining how to access the home and left thorough instructions for anything we could think of around the house. Kitchen was stocked with spices and cooking supplies. Refrigerator was spotlessly clean upon arrival ready for all your groceries. The bottom floor basement, was a great area for my adult sons to hang out,Incredibly convenient location to walk to Appalachian ski Mountain. We came back for lunch in the middle of the day easily.They even had the home decorated for Christmas upon our arrival. Very special stay.

Well maintained and welcoming cabin

Nice location. Not easily accessible if you have mobility issues.

If you are there to ski-the location couldn’t be better! However, we will not be returning for 2 main reasons that may be fixed for future tenants. First, the air quality-the mold smell from the basement made it up into the main living areas. The second is that tenants are required to take their trash to the city site. I wouldn’t have minded that except if you leave on a Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday the site is closed. There was no I mention of what to do then so you are forced to take it home or dispose of it illegally in someone else’s dumpster. It is a cute house with lots of things to explore. I hope the mold issue is fixed and directions for trash are added.

Great stay. Nice cabin. Would stay here again.

Very cute place and loved the location. Right in the middle of Boone and Blowing Rock. Loved hearing the train as well when outside.The only thing that was a bit of an inconvenience was having to mail the keys back and taking the trash to the dump instead of having the cleaners take it. The amount of beds was not as described and we were stunned that one of the beds in the listing was a day bed instead of a big enough bed for 2 people. Other than that, we did enjoy our trip.

Dated but very charming. Only complaints are trash disposal and key policy. You have to mail keys back to owner. You must dispose of all trash after check-out. Left on Sunday and trash dump sites are all closed on Sundays.

Just as described, close to ski resort!

Comfortable, clean and close to the resort.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this cozy ski cottage! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the slopes, which made it so easy to hit the mountain without any hassle. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the equipment we needed to cook our meals, which made it feel like home. While the house isn't extravagant, it was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The vibe was warm and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a laid-back, convenient, and comfortable base for their ski trip!

We enjoyed our stay. Hosue was as advertised.

This property is as advertised, within walking distance of App Ski Mtn. The wood stove is amazing and heats the entire living area very quickly, which is great after a day out in the snow. We came to visit my son who attends App State and this was a perfect location. We would definitely stay here again, when we vist. Only complaints would be that you have to deal with your own trash removal, not sure why this isn't part of cleaing fee, and you have to mail the key back to the owner. I have stayed in many VRBO's and have never done this before.

The cottage was very clean and cute. Very close to Appalachian State. We definitely would stay here again. The fall colors were perfect but would love to come back in the winter to ski.

Very clean and organized, was a great experience will recommend

Cabin was clean and as advertised. Third bedroom is quite small but adequate. Third bathroom is in basement so not the best option for the rooms on the main and second floor. Owner was very easy to deal with and communicated well.Great location. Old fashion key lock and only one set of keys so a bit of a hassle for a group. Would recommend a keyless entry lock.

Very easy to get to! Older cabin but clean! Owner was very helpful when we had questions.
