House was beautiful. Great for large family gatherings. A couple issues: the oven is SO finicky. It took multiple trys and holding the door in to get it to work properly. Downstairs bathroom in the game room-the shower did not work at all. So one family did not have a shower. They could not get a maintence person out to fix it until after we left. The yard is non existent. We had multiple young kids and they had no where to play outside. One side of the yard is over a steep cliff-def something to be aware of with littles.
Overall nice house but for our family it would not be a house we rent again.
This was the perfect location for celebrating our daughters’ graduation from Appalachian. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and provided ample space for my extended family. We were impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials as well as the seating areas in the kitchen and dining room that could accommodate large groups. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is planning a visit to Boone.

Beautiful home, comfortable, lots of room and great location. Thirty minute drive or less in every direction takes you to everything you could want to do: ski, ice skate, snow tubing, alpine roller coaster, hiking, shopping, Mast General Store, restaurants parks and playgrounds. The only steep hill to get there is the short driveway. Well stocked...there was even a big, beautifully decorated Christmas tree with lots of lights! Stayed with my children and grandchildren and each "family" had their own bedroom and bathroom. We spent a lot of time in the home just enjoying playing games and the hot tub and the cozy ambiance. There are lots of games and videos provided for both kids and adults. One unique quality...the house was solid and quiet...couldn't hear the noise and footsteps from the upper floors like every other cabin we have ever rented. We all agreed we want to stay here again!
This was a great place to stay! It was so beautiful. Had so much room. It had everything you could ask for. Board games,Xbox,TV’s in every room. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Beds were very comfortable. I could say so much more. You won’t be disappointed. It’s huge and so beautiful
House was beautiful. Loft was open so it was great for the kids. Plenty of room. Well stocked. 15 mins to Boone, 35 mins to Blowing Rock. 50 mins to Lynnville. Clean and well decorated.
