    This property was in a great location!! Close to plenty of activities, but a nice and quiet family space!! We loved all the space it offered and appreciated being able to just show up with clothes and enjoy (kitchen supplies, linens and toiletries provided)! The hot tub was a nice way to relax as well!

    Very close proximity to Tweetsie Railroad, which was our vacation destination. The kids LOVED the bunks and they were very comfy. Showers were amazing—great water pressure. Kitchen was stocked, but dishes were not all clean. Had to wash before using them. Exposed wires noted in kitchen. All linen seemed clean, however couch appeared a little dirty. Did not utilize laundry facilities, but they were available. Would be nice to have a door mat at entry door to prevent so much track in (water from rain, leaves, etc.). Were not able to utilize hot tub as we would have liked to due to lacking time and rain. Unable to drive up driveway (should probably notify future guests)—had to park on lower drive side area. Overall enjoyed our stay in this cabin. Only gripe about property owner was that they declined our request to change dates for our vacation when it appeared that due to incoming hurricane it was forecasted to be a washout which could’ve ended up hindering our entire vacation as Tweetsie could have possibly been closed and us unable to attend. Thankfully, all things considered, the weather turned out, but it would’ve been nice for them to accommodate their guests as requested.

    We loved our stay here. All of the details were so thoughtful, from the Pack N Play, to the sound machines, to the game room and laundry detergent, so many “small” things that made a difference as a parent of young kids. Also, the convenience of being walking distance to so many activities was 10/10, we used the greenway a ton! The cleanliness of the house was fantastic too. We will definitely be staying again!

    I chose this property because of it's proximity to Tweetsie. This was an extended family trip to ride the Tweetsie Christmas Train. How exciting that we could see the Tweetsie Christmas lights from the property!! The house was perfect for our grandchildren who vary in age from 18 months to 12 years with plenty of activities to keep them happy from basketball to air hockey to puzzles, books and games. It was also very clean and stocked with many starter items from kitchen to bath. I would recommend this property highly and give it 5+ stars!! We hope to go back again!

    Overall we had a great stay and the house was just what we needed. The house is located across the street from Tweetsie and only takes seconds to get there. The house is also located close to Blowing Rock and Boone and you can get to either in a matter of minutes which was nice. A few days after our stay we received a request to pay for damage to the property. They told us all of the pillow shams in the bunk room were physically ripped at the seams. For us this was an unfortunate and disappointing ending to a great stay, because two of the beds in that room were never used or physically touched by anyone in our family.
