Such a beautiful home! So nice to enjoy with friends and family and the snow did not disappoint! We enjoyed making meals and just staying in playing games. We will return for sure!
We had a great time. This house is great proximity to everything in sugar, banner elk, and Boone. We had plenty of room for everyone without feeling like we were right on top of each other. The views were beautiful!
The house was beautiful. It was spacious and convenient to Sugar Mountain. Honestly, it sleeps 9 comfortably; anymore would have to sleep on sofas. Occasionally, the internet would go out. The hot tub was relaxing and the “dated” video machine fun. It was disappointing the pinball machine didn’t work. The house could have used a better cleaning.
Very nice place to stay and we enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable and excellent location. Two small things that were found and we feel need to be addressed. The downstairs bathtub does not drain and the ceiling light in the same bathroom doesn’t work. Disappointed the property management never returned my call regarding my questions about the garbage. We received an email from the property management company that included the statement that garbage would be picked up on Saturday and Wednesday. Also read in the welcome book that we were suppose to dispose of the garbage at a remote dump site which conflicted with what we read in the email. We found two garbage cans in the garage which were full of garbage from the previous renters as well as garbage around the trash cans. We put the trash cans out by the street early Saturday morning, however the garbage was never picked up that day. We called the office and never heard back from them. We eventually put all the garbage in our vehicle and dumped it at the remote site. It would have been nice to have the office call back to clarify the information provided to us regarding the garbage policy.
House was very clean and had all kinds of things to do for the kids and a great location.
This place was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed our stay here with family including our fur babies. The views were breathtaking and surrounding was quiet and relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked and beds super comfortable. The boys enjoyed the hot tub and playing pool. The only negative was that the pinball machine wasn't working and the wifi was in and out sometimes. Also the fire pit area was adorable but difficult for some to get to due to the rock stairs that lead you there. The host were very responsive to any suggestions or issues. Would definitely recommend to others visiting the area.
We had a great stay at Heart Rock Lodge. House was just as described. Easy check in process. House was clean and well equipped. Great cozy living room with nice fireplace to gather. Hot tub was perfect after skiing. Kids loved exploring the property. Location is very convenient to Sugar Ski Resort, Banner Elk and quick drives to Boone and Blowing Rock and Grandfather Winery.
Easy rental process, house was very clean, stocked with all necessary amenities
Home was amazing with incredible views! House has everything you need. Close To everything and close to ski lifts. Slightly dirty on arrival but not sure when the last people stayed so cleanup may have been weeks prior (lots of dust collection). Unable to get correct internet password as nobody returned our call despite calling and emailing. The password is different than what they send you in the email. We found the welcome book in the house with correct password but we left that day. Password should be updated in email. Overall would stay there again. Great experience!
This place was better than expected. The pictures don't do it justice. Everything was well appointed and they thought of so many details. The location is amazing, close to the slopes and food options. The lot is pretty private compared to neighboring homes (though don't expect wilderness! It's very suburban). We'll definitely be returning.
