    This cabin is a very comfortable place to relax and has all of the necessities. The kitchen is well stocked with quality items, and the entire cabin was very clean and organized. The view of the distant mountain range is beautiful at all times of the day, and gives the impression that you are at 4,000 feet, although it is less that 2,000 feet, which is a nice feature if you do not want to drive up mountain roads a lot and you prefer a little warmer climate than the high altitudes. The owners were great and communicated promptly with any questions or concerns. The only issue was getting into the cabin on the first day and that was solely my fault, but the owner helped me out very quickly. The cabin was very peaceful and quiet, both inside and outside, which is a very nice feature since most guests will want to spend a fair amount of time on the deck without being too close to other properties. We really enjoyed our stay.

    We had a wonderful time just relaxing on the balcony, watching the birds, and listening to all the sounds of nature.

    We have stayed in numerous cabins over the years and this one was the most well stocked and one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. We did have a problem with one of the toilets, but Greg was in it and took care of it for us. It was a great location between Wilkesboro and Boone. Beautiful deck overlooking the mountains. We would stay here again without question.

    As always, the Sun Lodge is just the perfect place for relaxation. Do yourself a favor, wake up before sunrise, make a cup of coffee, and enjoy the beauty of sunrise over the mountains.

    Cabin was wonderful. Views were amazing. Well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the hiking trails around the pond and the neighborhood waterfall. No complaints at all! Would definitely go back! If I could give 10 stars I would!

    This was our third trip to this beautiful home and spectacular view. This mountain community feels like home away from home. Cozy and nicely decorated with all kitchen and bathroom amenities. Clean and welcoming. Love the deck. Even though we had mainly rain this past Monday-Wednesday but still enjoyed listening to the silence of the night with exception to the crickets. I hope this area dodged the flooding.

    We really liked the property. It rained the whole time we were there. We had some good views despite the weather. Lodge was well supplied and very thoughtfully planned. Made it so easy to prepare meals in the kitchen.

    Our second time was a delight and really enjoyed the beautiful view. Though there was quite a bit of cloud control. The cabin was very nice and all the little extras were appreciated. I want to make you aware that the downstairs hair dryer might need replaced. When I turned it on for just a few seconds it immediately started smelling like it had been burnt. Appreciated all the extras. We enjoyed looking at all then deer down the mountain to the main road. Thanks for sharing a small piece of your paradise. Wendy, Jason, Jacob, & Kayla.

    We don't believe the description of the house was very clear. Especially for older folks, it should be stated that there is no bedroom on the main floor. Of the three sleeping areas, only one has a door on the room. The only staircases (2) to the loft and lower level sleeping areas are spiral. It is difficult to carry luggage up and down such stairs and easy to slip and fall on them. There is no TV on the main floor and only two comfortable chairs to sit in on the main floor. But the house is very clean and well-stocked with a great view, wonderful deck, and easy to drive to.
