From the owner: "Thank you very much for the positive review! You are welcome back, anytime! Happy Holidays!"
Great place to stay - conveniently located close to West Jefferson, with the drive being short up 221. Close to Boone via 421 as well. Beautiful house, quiet location. Host was great, and house had everything we needed!

We enjoyed our stay Whiskey Bear. It was easy to get access and near all the events we needed to attend. We were there for a wedding at Sky Retreat and had lots of family staying with 2 miles of our location

Overall pretty house and property, well furnished with split wood for use in the burn pit. Largest issue was even though air conditioning was listed on the description, it is just a portable unit in the living room. There is not central air conditioning. While this may not have been an issue in the winter, it was not a very comfortable stay in August.

Hi Sarah, the right vacation home is everything, and we're sorry if the A/C setup wasn't what you expected. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The listing does state that there is 1 window A/C unit (main living area), but we are sorry if this caught you off guard. We encourage guests to thoroughly review the listing before booking, to ensure they find the perfect vacation home for their needs
- We appreciate your feedback and understand that this might not have been ideal during your summer stay
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests!
