Great getaway!

Great stay, beautiful place. A little worried about the back deck as it has a lean and hot tub water level is very uneven. Otherwise they gave us a late check out without asking witch was great! I clean cabins too. 20 years. I would stay again.

We found this spot for a quick girls hiking trip. It was a perfect size for us. Easy to find, easy access to get in the house and great location to everything. We definitely enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking and enjoyed the amazing view while drinking coffee in the mornings.

Cozy scenic spot

This place was all we needed for a cozy mountain weekend celebrating our sons birthday. It's close to fun activities, private, beautiful scenic view of the mountains from the hottub, and though it is a bit outdated inside it didn't detract from our experience at all. We loved that it had a ping-pong ball set up for the dining room table for our boys.

Great place in the mountains

Nice cozy mountain home in Seven Devils. Easy access to Hawksnest Snow Tubing and close to Sugar Mountain. Not far from Grandfather Mountain, Boone and Banner Elk! Home was clean and had plenty of the necessities that we needed for our two nights with our kids. We would stay again!!

Amazing views with secluded feel

This property had gorgeous views of the mountains. While there are houses around, it is situated to give you a very secluded feel. The jacuzzi tub was amazing as was the hot tub. While it was just me and my husband this would be a great rental for having another couple along as well. Everything was clean and as advertised and close to Boone, Linville, and Beech mountain. Couldn’t have asked for a better property or location. Can’t wait to go back.

The Bird's Nest was great!

This is a quiet, clean and lovely place. You are up in the tree tops with a beautiful view. It has a well-stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and cookware. It is beautiful inside. The only thing I had to get used to were the vertical turns going up the mountain roads to get there. But once there, it is lovely. I would definitely stay there again.

Okay, but not worth the rental price.

The main reason we chose the place was its "no steps" to climb feature, which was great, because of my disability and my wife's knees. We enjoyed sitting on the deck. But- the place needs to addess these problems, to be worth the higher rental price compared to others we considered: windows that were screwed closed in the guest bedroom and one that had a sash that had to be propped up to stay open in the MBR. - we did not plan on using the hot tub, but it was so noisy that we had to unplug it. - we tried to follow the absurdly complicated instructions, but could not get the gas fireplace to start. It needs to be updated to work like anywhere else – with the flip of a switch. - the couch and chair in the living room were very low to the floor and so uncomfortable, that I left with a backache. - the washing machine did not work; luckily, we did not try it until the night before we left so it wasn’t needed for our short stay But as I said, the house needs some basic maintenance (e.g. paint the Master bath) and upgrades.

Planned to use the grill, grill was in poor shape all rusted and dirty. Even if I wanted to clean it, both tanks were empty. It was very disappointing. Overall house was just meh, not what I expected for 500 a night. Oh well.

Great View

The property had a great view from the back of the home but even better in the front, the house across the street has a peach tree and the deer pretty much stay there all day eating so no matter the time of day you get to see deer all the time. The house itself is quite a bit outdated but overall clean accept for the master bedroom ceiling fan which is pretty dusty and we could not use due to allergies. It doesn’t have clean fresh feeling like other places we have stayed at , the bathroom rug in the master bath was absolutely filthy looks like it has never been washed and the curtains are all to small for the windows. If it was cleaned and updated it would have been worth more than what we paid just because of the scenery. But because it doesn’t have that nice clean feeling I would be hesitant to stay again

Annoying stay

This property was very clean and had all the basics, location was great, furniture was comfortable, it was ideal for what we wanted. The first annoying part was getting to the property late (had worked all day and drove all day so didn’t throughly read the agreement that said you have to go to their office, couple miles away), for the key. Finally get there and it was just a paper with the door code and some instructions. Why couldn’t that be a pdf in an email? Then we finally get back up to the property and try to shower and warm up the hot tub to relax after such a long day of traveling. No hot water, tub had been off so it was just cold all around. After just giving up for the night and sleeping it off I woke up to find that the circuit breakers were off for the water heater, and several other ones for whatever reason. I called the management company and someone went out there to make sure everything was working. The management people were very nice and the person that went out there was very helpful we had hot water again, turned on the fireplace that we couldn’t get on (very hard to do for some reason) and tan the hot tub and advised us it’ll take a while to get warm. We had a whole day of snowboarding so that’s fine by the time we got back to the property the tub should’ve been warm. Get back to the property excited for a hot tub and a couple of relaxing drinks with the fam in there only to find it freezing cold still. Running, noisy, but cold. If this was a week long trip with a one-two day annoyance of stuff not working well then ok whatever, not a big deal. But this was literally the whole trip, quick weekend trip, where we chose this instead of a hotel to have the amenities of a hot tub in a nice cabin. The management company was told about this, they provided a partial refund for “hot tub fees” since it wasn’t used. But at the end of the day we just wanted a nice, smooth, weekend trip and the accumulation of these little things really put a damper on things. It’s not a super cheap property so I expected way more. In this case, the basics at least. If you know someone is going to be staying at the property then look over it, makes sure the breakers are on and that everything is functioning.
