My family of four spent a week here July 29-August 5 and we had a wonderful stay. The drive out to the house was beautiful, winding through the mountains as we passed by farms and pastures. The location was out of the way enough that we felt like we were out in the country, but at the same time there were several cities within a 25-35 minute drive, and a couple more in the 60-90 minute range so we always had plenty to do. During the week we spent time in Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Bristol (TN/VA), Abington (VA), and Johnson City (TN).

We also spent plenty of time at the house, and we were pleased with everything about it! Dusty contacted us beforehand to find out our needs - so when we told her that we were bringing along a two-year old and a two-month old, she had toys laid out and a pack n' play set up for us when we arrived. There was also breakfast food, and there were a couple other nice surprises as well.

The house was very nicely furnished and is exactly as pictured in the listing. We all slept upstairs, and the beds up there were very comfortable. The showers worked perfectly (toiletries and lots of nice towels were provided), the kitchen had everything you could possibly need, the wifi was fast and reliable, and the cable TV was nice to have too. And the view from the house was amazing - I wish we would have had even more time to spend outside and enjoy it.

Dusty was a great host from start to finish. As I mentioned, everything we needed (and more!) was right there waiting for us when we arrived, and throughout our visit Dusty was always available via text to help us with any questions we had. But really, because of all the preparation that was done upfront, we didn't have any issues or questions to ask. Dusty sent us directions that made our arrival easy, and there was a book on the coffee table that had important info such as the wifi password, garbage pickup info, and checkout instructions.

So to sum it up, we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our first vacation as a family of four - everything went perfectly! If/when we return to the area we will definitely check here first to see if we can stay here again!
