We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! The place was clean and fully stocked. We enjoyed the game room and the outdoor spaces. The owner was very responsive when we had an issue with the hot tub. It was fixed the next day! We'd definitely recommend this cabin for large groups.
Great hosts. Great house . Great location ! Loved the beds and linens. Very user friendly kitchen with anything you might need to cook at home but location is awesome and close to dining options and shopping. Will surely visit again.
This was an awesome cabin!! It was not far from downtown Boone. There was plenty of shops and restaurants around. Tweetsie Railroad is just 15 mins away too! Great view of creek below! Bedrooms was spacious and beds slept great! Game room upstairs was a definite plus! Screened porch was very cozy and front porch had wonderful rocking chairs! Hot tub was nice too! Definitely would reccommend this cabin for family getaway! Worth every penny!
The cabin and property were beautiful with a secluded feeling close to everything! The beds were so comfortable and we will definitely be back! The driveway is steep so be careful of it snows to be weary of 2wd.
Cabin was a perfect home for a cozy mountain getaway. Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the game room upstairs. The hot tub was also a great addition! The owner even gave me some tips that allowed us to catch multiple fish and provided memories for years to come. This is definitely a house we would book again. Location was conveniently placed near downtown Boone but far enough out to give the right amount of privacy. Lots of hidden gems in this house and if your on the fence, book it!
Host is very helpful and communicative. It's a beautiful spot to just sit and enjoy nature and have a wonderful time. Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and pool table! Pretty much everything that you would need for cooking easy meals there at the house. We had a wonderful stay!
The cabin was warm and inviting. Decorated beautifully for the holidays and plenty of space for our group to gather. The screened in porch was bigger than it appeared in the photos and the hot tub sits beneath a lovely covering with ambient lighting. The whole place was lovely and had that real log cabin vibe to it. Special touches throughout show that hosts take pride in the cabin.
Perfect and as advertised: clean, quiet, close to stores/restaurants, pretty creek in front and multiple fire pit options. We enjoyed the hot tub too! Tammy was quick to respond to any questions we had.
Great for a relaxing week away. Very close to Boone, with fantastic cleanliness and amenities. We only had to call the host once when we arrived with a WiFi issue and she picked up immediately and got us sorted in minutes. Very happy, and would stay again.
Check in was easy. WiFi was good. The cabin provided all the necessities and communication with the host was always great. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated all Tammy did to try to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
