Absolutely beautiful property near Boone. This home is beautiful inside and out - comfortable with incredible views. The owner, Kathryn, is wonderful and easy to communicate with. We will only stay in Kathryn's beautiful properties.
Excellent stay! Beautiful property with beautiful views. Two full days of snow added to the enjoyment. The property owner was friendly and gracious. The only suggestions would be to replace the rocker recliner or repair its springs as it lays back much too far and somehow relocate the TV so it can be seen from all areas of the den.
We had a wonderful time while staying at the Blue Moon Lodge. The owner was very communicative & made sure we had everything we needed for a cozy stay. Loved the natural light coming from the windows & enjoyed scenic views from inside or from the large outdoor deck. Our family played several rounds of pool & made use of the hot tub too. The house was very clean & the beds were comfy too. The lot provided privacy & we felt safe. Easily made the drive to Boone & Blowing Rock a few times while in town. Thanks so much for this much needed family time! It was just what we needed!
We have stayed here at least a half dozen times. We love the property-the views, the fun hot tub, the comfy beds, the well stocked kitchen, and the hosts. We will be back!!
This place is just incredible. Between the breathtaking views, the pool table, the hot tub, the porch with rockers where we read our books, the grill where we made amazing steaks, and closet full of games we could have never left the cabin! We did venture out to Hawksnest though where we spent part of the day snow tubing! What a great escape. Our Blue Moon hosts were so fantastic in making sure our stay was perfect!
This was really one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in- if it's available for your dates, book it now, seriously. the views were incredible and are even better in real life. the cabin was adorable and perfect for our family of 5 (three young kids). thoughtful touches and very tidy/clean. we are very grateful we chose to stay here!
Wonderful views. Serene and beautiful. Owner was great to work with. We would stay here again. We celebrated our daughter’s Master Degree. Went to Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone and local restaurants. Great location.
Beautiful location and a lovely house - exactly what we were looking for.
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit there and would definitely return in the future.
The house was close to Boone and Blowing Rock, perfect location to explore the area. The house was spacious, beds were comfortable, and the view was beautiful!
We just returned from our stay and had a wonderful time in the mountains. This property has fantastic views, was clean and cozy, and close to Boone and other attractions. The owner was fantastic with communicating and providing lots of ideas for activities in the area. We had a great spring break and were very happy with the property
We loved this place. From the amazing views, to the inviting hot tub, games of pool and magical fireflies our family of 6 couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you for the great getaway.
