The property was conveniently located and comfortable. The property manager was responsive to our needs which made they stay pleasant.
Our family get together was great! The house met all of our needs and then some. The hot tub and pool table were an added bonus. The view from the house is priceless. We only have one complaint. We encountered ants (small and large in the kitchen and living room) during our stay. It's an older house so this is somewhat understandable but it still took away from our overall experience.
Renters are easy to work with and always deal with any problem right away. I think the recliner in the family is ready to be replaced. Other than that all was great!!
The view was stunning and the location was great. As other people have mentioned, you are somewhat secluded in the mountains but it is an easy drive to both Blowing Rock and Boone. I was, however, disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. - both trash cans were full in the kitchen when we arrived - sheets in the upstairs guest room had crunchy debris between them (made me wonder if they were changed since last use) - there were crumbs and dirt under the kitchen cabinets. I was able to locate the vacuum and clean with the hose attachment - the dining table was sticky, which was partly the finish (which is fine), but when I wiped it down the cloth was visibly dirty - this is not necessarily attributed to cleanliness, but just mountain living.. do not leave food or dirty dishes on the counter to the right of the sink, ants will come marching in. We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the area, it was just unfortunate that the space was not fully cleaned before our arrival.
We like to stay in this neighborhood and have done so multiple times because of the easy access to Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge parkway. Its a 10 minute drive to main street in blowing rock. The views are amazing from this home. Kids loved the downstairs game room. The hot tub was a bit dirty upon our arrival. Property management fixed the issue the next day. Good responsiveness, but would have been better if the hot tub was clean to start. This is minor, but the living room TV has three remote controls. It's a bit confusing.
Cozy little home with a great view. When we arrived, a tech was onsite fixing an issue with the TV. We weren't made aware a tech would be there when we arrived, and he ended up being there for quite some time, but it was nice to see the owners be proactive in making sure things were fixed for their guests, and overall the tech was very pleasant. There was construction going on next door which made for noisy mornings, but that can't really be helped -- though would have been nice to be made aware of that. Overall a great stay and would stay again.
3 women friends from college wanted a post-covid get-together. 2 of the friends had not visited the area before and had a wonderful time. The only thing that might present a problem is the availability of Uber or Lyft. The house takes some twists and turns (mountain roads) and if you are unfamiliar with the area its not a good idea to drive them at night after a glass of wine or two with dinner.
We are both graduates of App State and loved this place for a nice getaway from Raleigh. The house is unique to the area and has nice upgrades. The heater in the bathrooms were a nice touch and the gas logs inside, gas fire pit outside, and hot tub were great. Great views of App Ski Mnt and you can hear the Tweetsie train a few times as well, which we enjoyed. Even though you are up the mountain and can see forever, you are about 3 miles from downtown boone and blowing rock. Great location and great house! We will certainly seek out to stay again.
I very much enjoyed this house. However, the dishes were dirty in the dishwasher and the appliances hadn’t been wiped down. This wouldn’t have been a big deal except.. Covid. The bathroom in the basement room wasn’t super clean either. Otherwise, the house was great. The floors were clean, the beds looked great, the game room was fun and the hot tub had a great view of the ski mountain. We really loved our time there!
The property is just what we hoped for. The location was breathtaking! What a wonderful neighborhood! We had everything we needed and the home is well equipped! My daughter will be attending App State and I would go back to this home again! Thank you!
