    Beautiful, clean, and quiet cabin with gorgeous views and plenty of space. Only downside was the small tv because my boyfriend has one eye but we improvised and used our laptop to watch tv so it worked out. Other than that the stay was amazing and would love to stay there again in the future.

    The cabin itself was nice and had all the necessities. My husband and I recommend an upgrade of the mattress in the master bedroom; the softness of the current one left me with a backache and him a little stiff. We truly enjoyed the mountain view, and the proximity to other mountain attractions.

    Very cute little house that the listing pictures accurately represents. Only thing I would change is putting some curtains or blinds up in the living room. The huge window is beautiful during the day but at night you can’t see out and it feels like there’s no privacy if you wanted to spend time any time in the living room after sundown. Also when I arrived my phone was in sos mode. Thankfully I had the door code screenshotted on my phone otherwise I would not have been able to enter. Might’ve had to drive 10 min to gain enough service to open the app.

    This was a nice cozy cabin in the mountains. Our favorite memory is watching the fireflies come out at twilight on the front porch. The view was magical. Our kids had a great time- they played outside in the yard, played chess and enjoyed the dvd collection at night. The only negative was the driveway- I was worried when we first got there, that our 10 year old minivan wouldn’t be able to get up the incline on gravel. We made 3 attempts and finally were successful. I think the biggest improvement would be a paved driveway- it’s not very long, but the gravel is loose and our van struggled. We went to Blowing Rock one day and to one of the river beaches suggested in the cabin’s binder. Thanks for the recommendations. There were plenty of towels and blankets in the house, which I really appreciated as that’s not always the case! All in all, we really enjoyed the cabin.

    The property is very well maintained with all the amenities (like fully operational kitchen, with dishwasher and cutlery) that you would need for a long stay. The property is off from the main road so traffic noise is absent. At night we experienced fireflies (after almost 7 years) which was the star of our trip. Boone NC downtown and city center is just around 15-20 minutes drive and you can get everything that you want for the stay (Walmart, etc.). Mornings and evenings were filled with the songs from the birds. First time saw a hummingbird with two little ones in flight (possibly juveniles) All the touristy places and not so touristy places are near to where the cabin is. The property is surrounded by multiple farm land properties and would give one an experience of the country side. Todd Merchantile should not be missed (is an old bakery around 20 minutes drive from the property). We had no complains from our stay and we are hopeful to return here during fall.

    Had a great family get away. Enjoyed sitting on the porch in the cooler mornings and evenings. Picture window in the living room really made the house. Lots of cabinet space for our groceries, we cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for meals. This was a great place for the price and location. I would suggest upgrading the mattress in the master (I only tried this one so I don’t know about the others) it is always great when you can sleep well when away from home. Apart from that our stay was still 5 stars and we would come back again.

    The cabin was perfect for a quick getaway. Very clean and tidy, close to Boone and many hiking trails. Renters should be aware that the road leading to the house is gravel and quite rutted in spots, especially right in front of the house, with lots of loose gravel. This made it tricky to make it up the very steep driveway with only 2WD, I spun out a couple of times in my RAV4.

    This little cabin is perfect for a weekend away. We have 3 kids, so they fit together in the room with bunk beds, and my husband and I got the room with the queen bed. There's only 1 bathroom, but the water pressure was good, the kitchen has everything we needed, the living room is cozy, and the front porch has a swing and a great view. It was nice to sit by the window with our morning coffee and watch the birds at the birdfeeder.

    The host was very responsive and accommodating. The home was not as clean as we would have liked as you could tell it hasn't had a good deep clean in a while. When the description says 4WD is recommended in winter, I would say you need it all the time. It had rained quite a bit before and during our stay, and we barely got up the driveway in our van. But, overall it was a good place to stay. Our kids loved it, especially playing chess in the living room.

It is very clean, beds are comfortable, more than enough linens, with a fully stocked kitchen. The fireplace quickly heats the entire home. The best part is having morning coffee and watching the sun rise over the mountains through the huge livingroom windows with a fire crackling.

    The layout of the house is great (except for bathroom) and everything you might want is provided. We didn’t cook on this trip but kitchen seemed well supplied. Things to improve would be the shower curtain and rugs/mats in bathroom - they looked kind of gross so we covered them with towels - that is an improvement that would cost very little. The mattresses are probably okay for young people but were not good for us - we tried both full size beds and had same result both nights. And the couch is not comfortable to sit on for very long.
