We had a great time at the Alpine Escape cabin. Excellent location, close to Boone, Blowing Rock, and easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking trails. The cabin was very clean and relaxing. We appreciated all of the information we received from Laura ahead of time, and the notebook of information at the cabin. The child proofing was helpful for our curious 15 month old daughter! Thanks for a wonderful weekend.
Owner response:Thanks so much for your nice note. We always appreciate feedback, as we are always working to make the cabin a perfect getaway for our guests - a relaxing home away from home! We hope you all will come back again. Take care! Laura

Laura, Thank you so much. We had a wonderful time. Your cabin is beautiful and cozy. We loved having rest and relaxation after the busy Christmas. My husband and I have stayed in Boone, Blowing Rock area for about 10 years now and we both agree your home is by far our favorite. You have done a wonderful job making it feel cozy and like you are right at home. We will be wanting to rent from you again. Happy New Year!

Dear Laura, We all had a wonderful vacation! The cabin was perfect and exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed the "extras" that made it feel more welcoming to families with kids and pets. Thanks again and we will keep you in mind for future trips!

We had a wonderful time. The house even nicer in person. It had everything we needed for all from age 65 to 14 months. I even got used to the mountain roads. I especially appreciated the easy entry and close up procedures and the instructions placed in the appropriate places. You seem to have covered everything. We hope to make a return trip.
