Sticks and Stones-Mtn Log Cabin, Gas Fireplace, Outdoor Space w/ Fire Pit, Grill

Beautiful property

Great house for a girls weekend away! Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen well stocked and we loved all the porches!

Sticks and Stones is a beautiful home! My family enjoyed our stay so much! We loved the large kitchen/dining/family area where we could gather to eat and play games. We loved the views and feeling surround by God's creation. The home is conveniently located to attractions but nestled far enough away to be private. As others have stated, the driveway is very steep and was a little slick with leaves that had fallen. We cleared those away and had no trouble once we figured out how to strategically park our four vehicles. Just keep in mind you will likely need a 4-wheel drive vehicle if there's snow on the driveway. Thanks for a great visit!

The house was awesome! Easy to find, great location. We would love to stay here again.

Great place for friends and family.

Really enjoyed our stay. Many light bulbs were not working. Host answered all our needs.

Check in was easy. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with high quality essentials, pot, pans ect.

the place was very remote and cozy inside.

Property was beautiful and very nice. There were several lamps and quite a few of them had burned out lightbulbs. Some of the overhead lights as well. There was only one remote that worked out of all of the tv’s. No batteries in the remotes. We followed the instructions for lighting the gas logs and could not get them to turn on. Nothing major but making sure these are addressed for the next person.

Spacious home, great porches, secluded property, good for families, enjoyed our stay

Lots of room for 4 couples. Beautiful views at the house and on the drive to it. Easy commute to Boone, Blowing Rock and hiking trails.. A couple minor issues with shower knobs.

This is a beautiful, comfortable home. We enjoyed it so much. The location was perfect for visiting the area. You do need the four wheel drive for the driveway which is steep. We would love to come back when we can enjoy the beautiful porches! It was a little cold for that this trip. But the skiing was great!

Sticks & Stones is a beautiful, roomy and comfortable home with everything you could possibly need to cook, play games or just relax. The spacious living area is well decorated and the dining table accommodates a large group with ease. We prepared our Thanksgiving meal and had everything we needed. The beds are so comfortable which was an added bonus! The folks at Foscoe Rentals are awesome to work with if any issues arise. Some things to note: if you are staying in the winter, the driveway is steep and could easily become problematic in bad weather. The basement area has a bedroom and living area that doesn’t stay very warm due to the thermostat being on the main floor. We opted not to use that space as temps dropped into the 20’s while we were there. There is no satellite TV as the ad states so be aware. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to large families or groups!

We had a great time at Sticks and Stones! Other reviews mentioned the steepness of the driveway, which had us concerned. These reviews were accurate, however we all managed to make it up and down the driveway, even after some snow (vehicles were F250, CRV, RAV4, and Ranger). The roads to the home are full of curves, yes, but to be expected in the mountains. We had the unfortunate luck of the internet being down, and the location has 0 cellular service unless you stand in the driveway. It made for a great time of card games and chats! We lost power for about 5 hours during our stay, and my only qualm was that I did not receive a message back when I made mention of the loss of power. I know it is no fault of the property manager, but at the time we were concerned about the inability to shower, cook, or have heat. The home is well equipped with kitchen items, and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked with towels. The home could use a light dusting and vacuuming, but it was nothing to the extent of being “gross”. If you have young children, please be aware that the access to the unfinished attic space is unlocked and easily accessible. We would recommend this property, especially for a group.

My three sisters and their spouses and I spent a week at Sticks and Stones with a wedding on the Saturday in the middle of that time. The house met our needs well, and we enjoyed our time together. We had four vehicles and were able to park 3 of them up by the house and one in a pullout halfway up. The driveway was indeed very steep and necessitated the use of the lowest gear to get up without slipping on wet leaves (none of the vehicles were 4-wheel drive, and it had been raining). The kitchen was well-stocked. The house was secluded, which we liked, but was only 12-15 minutes drive into Boone or Blowing Rock. Beautiful area. Wi-fi was spotty for some of our phones. Overall we had a wonderful time together.
