This house is even better in person! We really enjoyed our stay despite the weather. We had an issue with the oven but they went above and beyond to make sure we could still cook! It was a great stay

Awesome girls weekend

Five ladies had a wonderful time at this property - ranging in age from 14 to 51. Spotless and beautifully decorated. Mattresses and linens were excellent! Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing and gorgeous escape away from reality!!

We were absolutely thrilled with our stay in this gorgeous home. The mountains were beautiful and it was a nice distance from Boone and Blowing Rock...making it easily accessible but secluded enough to enjoy some peace and quiet! We will definitely be back!!

Can't wait to return!

We visited Prancing Horse Lodge for a long weekend, and absolutely loved everything about our stay. In fact, we want to buy it lol. It was perfect for our family of four plus our sister's family of four. The kids really enjoyed the bunk room and downstairs, and we all loved the wood-burning fireplace upstairs. The urinal in the half bath was a big hit with my 11-year-old son :). We would absolutely visit again. Eagles Nest and Prancing Horse are amazing!

Beautiful & Serene

I was married in another home within this community and the cabin was for my family members during the wedding weekend. The cabin was beautiful and peaceful. Perfect 2 bedroom cabin and love the Christmas decorations they had out for their guests. The only reason for a 4 star on the location was it was difficult to find the cabin. (A builder in the community assisted us so Shout Out to VC Builders!!). If you are looking for a beautiful well maintained cabin, level parking, on a creek near the larger Community center-this cabin is for you! Thank you to the owners and Blue Ridge Rentals!

Relaxing

This is the 2nd year in a row we have rented this property! It’s clean, homey and in a great location.. I will say I think the kitchen is bare on cookie items! But we were able to manage… wouldn’t stop us from renting it again next year! Definitely would recommend this house to anyone!

Perfect Mountain Vacay Getaway!

We enjoyed our mountain weekend getaway. The location was a perfect short distance to downtown banner elk and Sugar Mountain Ski resort. This home was also the perfect set-up for two families to have privacy. 10/10 would recommend! Book it, promise this home will not disappoint!

A Fantastic Property

We really loved this home. Plenty of room to spread out and fantastic outdoor space. There is so much to do in the area, we went late season skiing, but make sure to ask about the amenities on the property. Our children loved the Putt Putt course, Toy Barn and Playground. We drove the property and saw amazing views. One of our favorite vacations we ever had!

Mardi Gras Break

We found the property and surrounding area to be exactly what our family was seeking. Great home that had everything we were looking for: good kitchen for our family to gather and enjoy preparing a meal together each night, a family room with a wood burning fireplace, hot tub and plenty of room for everyone.

Fantastic House & Location

We loved the house and location! Beautiful views with a easy drive to the house! I would recommend bring fire wood because it seems like the right side of the house is much cooler than the left... which was fine just bundle up! Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us! Definitely will book again!

Great getaway

The check in/out process was very easy. House was clean and stocked well with toiletries and linens. The Eagles Nest area was a great place to use the amenities for kids, hiking and other outdoor activities. We had a wonderful time.
