We have stayed here before and each and everytime we do it is just wonderful. We love this location and recommend it for anyone who is staying near Boone. The creek is great, the kids loved the water and hot tub. We rented both cabins and you can bet we will be staying here again in the future. Great owner, great communication and service, thanks again

We decided to take a Winter vacation this year after Christmas and traveled from the beach. Needless to say, we arrived just in time after a pretty good snow storm. The cabin is cozy with wood from ceiling to floor. The gas stove was a very nice touch, and kept us very warm. We also enjoyed some time in the jacuzzi while the temperature was in the teens, LOL. And the stream behind us....absolutely perfect. We liked it so much, that we're planning to go back this Summer (hopefully)!! so we can go fishing and enjoy the outdoor surroundings on the back porch and the outside deck. As a person who works in the vacation rental business, I would definitly recommend this vacation spot for anyone looking for a nice place to stay. Thank you...........we had a wonderful time!

Nice, isolated cabin

Guest: Neicey (Ferndale, WA)
Date of Stay: 05/28/10 Review Submitted: 06/21/10

This was a nice well-sized cabin out in the hills. The creek and waterfalls were beautiful, but they were loud! Great outdoor amenities such as a screened eating and socializing area, plus the covered barbecue area with the hot tub nearby. The sign for the turnoff to the cabin was easily missed, and it was quite a distance from any shopping. If you're looking for isolation, a quiet family gathering and outdoor exploring, this is the place! Just bring your bug repellent, the mosquitoes are fierce!

Owner response:I have owned and enjoyed this property for 12 years and have never seen a mosquito. I even state in the literature there are no biting insects. I will be investigating this phenomenon as no renters have ever mentioned mosquitos before. The creek can be loud after a heavy rain but is normally soothing to most. Steve Nelson

The cabin was wonderful. We absolutely loved the swing by the creek. I can say it was the most comfortable swing I've sat in. Listening to the creek was very relaxing. There is a country store quite close by. Directions to Banner Elk, Buckeye Lake and Beach mountain were nice touches. We visited Linville Falls and Elk Falls, both great! I've only given it four stars because the couch was hard. Might not be a big thing for you, though. Other than that this cabin was everything we had hoped for.

This cabin is much prettier than the pictures. It is clean and very well maintained. After exploring Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain it was great to come back and relax in the hot tub. The kids loved finding crawdads, fish, and salamanders in the creek. Also, the back road drive to Banner Elk was beautiful. We would recommend this cabin to anyone, and can't wait to go back. Thank you so much Steve (Robin and Patsy). It was perfect!

Our family and a friends vacationed for a week at the cabin. We were very impressed with the beautiful creek. Our kids loved hiking up the creek, jumping over rocks and swimming in some of the deeper parts. The cabin was well stocked and was very comfortable. It was lovely listening to the sound of the waterfall day and night. We had fun fires in the outdoor pit and roasted a lot of marshmellows. The covered deck overlooking the creek was great and we all enjoyed the hot-tub - especially the kids. There is plenty of deck furniture to relax in and two porch swings. We visited the town of Boone a few times and had a lot of fun at Mast General Store (huge candy barrels) and the massive antique shop. The Boone Drug Co. has a fun lunch counter and soda shop. The cabin made for a wonderful retreat and we hope to return again sometime.

We had such a great time on our cabin getaway. With 2 kids (2 and 3.5 yr old boys), there was much fun to be had. Exploring up and down the stream, roasting marshmallows, and takig full advantage of the hot tub! We even captured a crawfish! Some great memories were made. We would love to come back during the summer!

What a great month, I can't believe it is over. Of all our summers in the "highlands" this has been the best. I couldn't keep the kids out of the creek - swimming and catching critters. Perfect place for the extended family-lots of relaxing for everyone! Thank You! See you again

My husband and I, along with some of our family members, spent over a week at this cabin. The place is absolutely fabulous! The hours spent just hanging out at the pavilion were most relaxing. The adjacent stream is incredible. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is just perfect for a family get-together or just a place to get away from it all.

Steve, we truly enjoyed our stay at your cabin. The inside is very clean with a new bathroom and very nice kitchen. Even though we picked a somewhat rainy week, we really enjoyed staying outside at the pavillion by the beautiful rushing creek. Next time we come, we will bring others with us to share the experience. Thanks!

Fishing with Foscoe Fishing CO. yielded the best Trout fishing we have experienced coast to coast!! There's no "if" we'll make a return trip, but "when". Thanks for providing and insuring our needs!

I live in the mountains and rate this cabin setting as one of the most tranquil and beautiful places that I have ever visited. Nothing comes close to sitting next to the crystal clear waters of Beech Creek in the outdoor pavilion with the smell of bacon and fresh trout being cooked for breakfast with the sound of the waterfall next to you!!! We will be back!!!!!
