Communication with our host, Terry, was wonderful. The cabin was absolutely beautiful with great amenities and amazing views. A great place to ring in the New Year!
Perfect view of Grandfather Mountain. Kitchen was fully stocked with every spice imaginable. Host was very timely in his responses when we had questions. We will be back!
Just stayed here for our 5th time over the years and it never disappoints. The cabin is perfect with everything you could need and more, the view is great and the cabin is very nice with all the amenities you look for at the mountains. The host is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. We will continue to stay in the years to come for sure!
My friends and I spent a weekend up here and it was absolutely amazing. Lovely home with plenty of space. The hot tub was awesome and the yard is great for sledding. We absolutely loved it! Thank you!!
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much we truly loved the house! We had a fantastic time celebrating my grandson’s 1st birthday. It was such a special weekend for our family, and your home made it even more memorable.The outside area and the deck were absolutely amazing — everyone enjoyed spending time out there. The basement and pool table time were fabulous as well! We had so much room for our gatherings, and it was perfect for bringing everyone together comfortably. Even the dogs add a great time!We would definitely love to book again next yearWe truly had a wonderful experience and look forward to staying again!Thank you so much Denise!
We had a wonderful long weekend with friends and our kids. The house is very spacious and clean, beds were comfy and lots of extra blankets provided for the cool weather. We used the hot tub often. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the big yard, and it would have been perfect for our dog. The hosts graciously provided cooking spices, dish soap, dishwasher pods, and other usual toiletries. The location was perfect. Centrally located within minutes to the local attractions and restaurants.Communication with the host was the best experience I’ve had with a vacation rental! Lots of communication via text and very helpful! We look forward to returning next year!
We had a truly magical trip to Grandfather Lodge for a very special 50th Birthday celebration and friends and family ski trip! The hot tub was fabulous with the freezing temperatures and winter storm, we were warm and toasty watching the snow fall. A gorgeous wood burning fireplace in the main room provide warmth and ambience and there was ample wood and fire assistance to build a fire easily! We did a fair amount of cooking and the kitchen, upstairs and downstairs kitchens were very well equipped. My daughter was able to make a secret birthday cake downstairs well I prepared dinner upstairs! There was wonderful room lovely bathrooms and comfortable common space. The game room was fantastic we enjoyed the very beautiful pool table extensively! With all this beautiful snow we enjoyed sledding with all the sleds found right there on the property and beautiful views of Grandfather Mountain! Terry, the host/owner was very responsive to any questions or requests and incredibly accommodating when we had to stay an additional night due to the storm. I have stayed at a lot of North Carolina Mountain cabins and this was by far the best experience yet! We will definitely be back!!!
