Great Birthday get away weekend place! Easy drive into Boone. Weather was wonderful & the covered deck was perfect to watch the sun & clouds and listen to the creek. But having a fenced yard for our furbaby was the topping on the cake! Thanks for sharing your lovely mountain home!!!

Great Vacation Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great house! We have stayed at a few different houses in this neighborhood and this one was by far the best. The best part was how comfortable the furnishing were (including the bunk beds). The fenced in yard for our dogs was worth it's weight in gold. We enjoyed the deer we saw in the yard and drinking coffee on the screened in porch. Very relaxing trip and can't wait to go back!
