Our family of 3 stayed here in July for a college visit to App, which is only 10 minutes away. The cottage was great. Having bedrooms and bathrooms on the upper and lower levels, with the living room and kitchen and half bath on the main level gives everyone enough space. The main and lower levels have outdoor decks, and there is a nice covered front porch at the main entry .The interior is beautiful and clean; the directions provided by the host were accurate and easy to follow, and check in was seamless. It is convenient to Boone and App to the north, and to the Blue Ridge Parkway about 5-10 minutes to the south. We loved it and highly recommend the cottage. The only concerns would be if you have trouble with stairs, as both bedrooms are accessed by stairs. And, in ice, the driveway might be tricky, but otherwise it is easy to access in any car or SUV. Would love to visit in the fall, as it’s wooded setting would be especially pretty!
