Family Perfect Getaway at Ain’t Life Grand

A beautiful house at the top of the mountain. Our grandkids loved all the games and toys they found. We loved the kitchen and den that had a wall of windows that provided one of the best views of the NC Mountains anywhere. Great fireplace and a comfy hot tub included. We recommend it! 5 stars!

Perfect!

The cabin is beautiful and the amenities are fantastic, but there are no words to describe the incredible view from Ain’t Life Grand! Looking out at the mountains gave us all such a feeling of serenity. The huge windows provided a beautiful view even when we were inside. The cabin was immaculate and well-stocked. We stayed at the cabin for most of the trip as we had everything we needed right there for a perfect vacation.

Wonderful Cabin for family vacation!

We rented this cabin for a family getaway with my parents and two children. The cabin was gorgeous with spectacular views that changed at different points in the day as clouds rolled in and out. The house was immaculate and the host thought of every detail from kids toys to smores for the fire pit. The beds were very, very comfortable. The hot tub was pristine. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook dinner together every night. It was a perfect location to the different parks, ski resorts and towns. I highly recommend this cabin, we were all sad to go!

Amazing Views!! Beautiful Property!!

We LOVED our stay at Grand Views and we had so much fun with our friends! The view is truly Spectacular and the property is beautiful! It is warm, welcoming, comfortable and clean! The fireplace is gorgeous and we enjoyed relaxing in front of the cozy fire while watching the stunning sunset! Heather and Jonathan are very kind and friendly hosts, and they were very helpful and quick to answer questions that we had. Their home has everything that you need, including lovely extra items like popcorn and ingredients to make s'mores. They have lots of fun games to play. (ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, board games, etc..) The property is conveniently located close to Boone and Blowing Rock, and both towns are great to visit. The Speckled Trout Restaurant and Kilwins ice cream and chocolate shop in Blowing Rock are wonderful! We didn't want to leave and we look forward to staying again in the future!!

We travel to the NC mountains once a year from Winston-Salem and have stayed in many cabins over the years. Ain’t Life Grand is definitely our favorite with comfortable accommodations, stunning views and lots of little extras provided by the hosts. We had a wonderful time on spring break reconnecting with our grown children and day trips to Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and Boone. Truly enjoyed this lovely property and would highly recommend.

BEST RENTAL EVER!

This mountain house was more than we could’ve asked for! The view was breathtaking, the house was immaculate, and the host communication was fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we noticed the attention to detail and extras. There were supplies for s’mores, firewood for the firepit, a basket of “forgotten” to pack items, a fully stocked kitchen, a garage full of things for fun, and more. Literally, anything you would want was there. Not to mention it’s conveniently located to Boone with just a 10 minute drive to downtown. We kept saying how it felt like home…it was so cozy and the perfect place to make family memories. We will definitely be back!

I can't say enough about this cabin and the memories made. The views alone set this apart. We had some rain most of the time we were there but what the cabin had to offer made our rainy vacation so much better. Between the fire pit, hot tub, ping pong table and outdoor area, everything you need is there. Our daughters (ages 13 and 8) absolutely loved it!! Our 8 year old was in love with the loft and sad to leave. The kitchen is wonderful and the dining table was a great place to sit and eat or play games. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place.

This is a beautiful property with the best views of any. The owners take great pride in anticipating the needs of guests and providing for them. This is an annual trip for us and in most every way this was the best home and owners ever.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Mogollon

Host profile image
Our family has been traveling to the Blue Ridge Mountains for over 5 years now and every time we go back we feel as though we never want to leave, so we finally made the big decision to buy in Boone, NC. As a military family, we often need to escape the stress of military life and this home, the mountains and the people are just incredible. We will retire in this cabin and the mountains. We know that by sharing this beautiful place with others, those memories and experiences will make an impact in the lives of others.

Why they chose this property

After searching for almost 7 months, when we pulled up to this cabin and got out of the car we were just awe struck by the feeling we got! Once we stepped inside and saw the beauty of the wood, fireplace, large ceilings and open living space and the potential of making it feel like ours. That was it.

We have spent a year doing remodeling, fixing it up, furnishing it! We have put our heart and soul into it top to bottom, cleaning up the landscaping you name it. We hope that you can see that in our photos and video tours!

What makes this property unique

The Location is perfect, private yet close to major roads, gas stations grocery and downtown town + the parks.

The minute you step out of your car and see that view, it will overtake you, its just magical, brings a sense of peace, calmness and joy.

Once you open that front door it really hits you, like WOW! The craftsmanship furnishings and rustic yet modern decor, we have been told its straight out of a magazine. And as of April 2018 we were in-fact in a magazine (Airbnb featured our cabin, which was so exciting)

Enjoy lunch on the deck, read a good book, snuggle by the fireplace, play games with the family.It's really an experience not just a place to stay.
