We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful mountain house. It is very well-equipped and nice spacious rooms. We liked how every bedroom had its own bathroom. The house is in very close proximity to many outings such as Blowing Rock, Boone, and Grandfather mountain winery. The owner was super to communicate with throughout the stay. Can’t recommend this house enough!
The house was FAB! comfortable, beautiful and in a great location! We'd love to come back in our next get away! Lots of things to do in the house, relax and have a super comfortable stay with friends and family

Thanks so much for visiting, Kaci! We're *delighted* to hear that you all had a good time. Please reach out whenever you're ready to visit again; we'd love to have you back! 😊
This was the nicest rental home we have ever stayed in. The owners were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to ensure the home was well kept and exceptionally clean. The floor plan accommodated our crew of 12 and there was plenty of room for everyone from the main great room, to the game room on lower level and large deck overlooking the beautiful woods. We enjoyed all the amenities at the club and found the location extremely convenient to Blowing Rock, restaurants and other area attractions. We can't say enough about how kind, thoughtful and accommodating the owners of this property were. They thought of everything, which ensured our family had the most enjoyable week!!

Oh my, thank you *so* much for sharing this generous feedback! Laura and I are so glad you were able to enjoy all the amenities including the pool and Racquet Club! We would be delighted to have you back to Boone and Blowing Rock - just reach out if you ever think of returning! Best wishes to you all for a lovely fall! 😊
Spacious property for 13 people over Easter. The location for extended weekend enjoying Boone, Blowing Rock, and Blue Ridge Parkway was perfect. Property had everything we needed and much more. The community amenities were very nice and people were very friendly to guests.
The hosts communication prior to arrival was top notch.
Would recommend to all.

Thanks so much for your kind review, Matt! We're SO glad to hear that you had a great stay in Boone. Please do reach out if you return to the area, we'd love to have you visit again! 😊
This stay was perfect! There is not one thing I would recommend changing. Laura and Paul were very responsive with all of my questions even prior to booking. Their home was a perfect location for our family to gather for our daughter's graduation from Appalachian. They had every single detail covered! I wish we had found this spot sooner! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a rental in this area!

Oh my, thank you for this kind review, Angel! We were delighted to host this exciting celebration of your daughter's hard work - thanks so much for staying with us. Congrats once again to you all, and please do reach out if you find a good excuse to visit the area again! ☺
High Country Escape far exceeded our expectations. There was something there for everybody and when I said everybody, we had 5 adults and a 10 month old. They provided toys and a pack and play for the baby and pool/ping pong and a poker table for the adults. It was clean, comfortable and relaxing which is what we needing. Close to hikes at Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls and West Jefferson (hike the scenic lookout). We have stayed in a half dozen cabins in North Georgia and North Carolina and this was the best. Laura and Paul are such great hosts with every detail explained. Loved it totally

Oh my, Jim - we are *incredibly* humbled to read your review! Thank you SO much for your kind words and we're thrilled to hear that you all had a great stay. We haven't yet hiked the scenic lookout in West Jefferson, so we'll add it to the list! Please be sure to reach out if you're ever back in the area! Best wishes to you and your family!
We really enjoyed this house and the hosts. Over the years we have stayed at a ton of rentals, and this was by far the best organized and equipped. The QR code they have around the house tells you everything you need to know about the property and surrounding area. If you still have questions, the hosts are very communicative. We had an issue in the house, and the hosts were sympathetic and immediately remedied the situation. A contractor showed up the next morning to fix the issue. I cannot recommend this home, location, neighborhood, and hosts enough!

Thanks so much for your generous review, Nicole. We are SO glad you and your group had a great stay, and we appreciate your patience with the issue that came up. Please come back and visit soon! 😊
This was one of the best stocked vacation houses we’ve ever stayed in.
There is a large closet upstairs for infant and toddler items: gates, booster seats, porta crib, books, etc.
Before bringing all the “baby stuff” contact Paul, the host. He was very punctual in getting back to me re: questions.
The house has a really nice gas grill, fire pit on the same porch as grill, outside table and hot tub.
I
The kitchen has a toaster, toaster oven, kuerig and regular coffee maker, etc.
We hiked a couple of days and Hebron Falls is fairly close.
Blowing Rock is about a 15-20 min. drive.
We had a great vacation in a great house!

Thanks so much, Robert! We're so happy to hear that you all had a great stay, and that you made good use of all the baby gear - that's what we hoped for! 😊 Please reach out if you're ever back in the area!
What a beautiful and spacious home to spend time with family! Highland Escape is a gem...the kitchen was well stocked, even with coffee, k-cups and tea! The common area was very light and airy as well as roomy and comfortable. We all enjoyed the decks along the back of the house with fire pit and, especially, the well kept whirlpool. The bedrooms were wonderful; comfy king beds and very clean private bathrooms. And plenty of walk-in closet space to hang clothes and store luggage. And lastly, the game room was a hit with everyone. There were games to interest all age levels. What fun we had! We cannot wait to book again. Laura and Paul were incredibly responsive and accommodating. Thank you for providing my family with a wonderful weekend.

Thanks so much for this wonderful feedback, Joyce - and for being our very first VRBO guest! - we are so happy that you and your family enjoyed the house so much, and that you and your little ones took advantage of the Yonahlossee pool, fitness center, AND tennis - what an active weekend! We hope you'll come back soon and thanks again!
This was one of our best family vacations and we definitely picked the right cabin to stay in! Paul and Laura were more than top notch in their quick communication and in answering any questions that we had. The guidebook they put together had everything you would need to know in it and more. This is the first rental that provided something like that with so much detail and information. Everyone was impressed by it. :)
The description and pics of their beautiful home are fantastic, but even better in person. We all had comfortable beds to sleep in with plenty of blankets and towels provided. I wish every place we stayed in was like this one. The kitchen was well supplied and the whole place was immaculate. We had the best time together and most fun in the game room. There is definitely something down there for everyone to play with. My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub also....the others forgot their swimsuits so don't forget yours!
We didn't utilize the tennis/pickleball courts or indoor pool, but we would next time. We had other plans for snowboarding at Beech Mountain and general sightseeing in Boone and Blowing Rock. And to top off the trip, we had beautiful snow fall on the day we were leaving.
We made so many great memories that weekend. We hope to repeat this trip again and would definitely recommend this cabin to everyone! :)

Amazing experience - the hosts are extremely nice, very prompt and thorough with all communication. The house is beautiful and very well appointed - wouldn't change a thing aside from a longer stay next time!
