First the pros: there are a lot of beds and you could fit a lot of people in here! (We had just a small group, though.) It's centrally located, about 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 12 minutes from Boone restaurants and grocery stores. The hosts certainly seemed well intentioned and provided dishwasher detergent, soap and a fresh sponge. Thank you!
The cons: I'm sorry to write that it felt damp and musty. The cabinets and tile floors were sticky. The headline of the property was "Newly Renovated!" But in the middle of the listing, it says the basement. You might skip over this if reading quickly. Along that same lines, the description read: "Enjoy an afternoon spent rocking on the covered porch, while overlooking rolling hills featuring cows and a red barn. This is a serene view you won’t want to leave." You cannot see the said hills or cows. There are of trees all along the front and back of the house and are quite thick. Trees are nice in their own way. Just don't expect expansive views (or light) from the porch. Also, it was hard to find a place to store groceries or luggage. Kitchen cabinets and drawer were jam packed and surfaces elsewhere had tchotchkes on them.
Overall, I would recommend this place, but just know what you're getting.
