Everything about this property is amazing, the beds are to die for you feel like you are at home. It was convenient to a lot of places we wanted to see. We will book again
This townhouse provided a wonderful spot for our family and another family of four to enjoy a snowy weekend near tubing and skiing. The setup was perfect for our sized group and we all thought beds were comfy! The views from the deck were beautiful.

Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us! We are so happy you were able to experience a winter getaway in the High Country. Please visit with us again if you are back in the area.
Property was in good condition with great location and amenities. The only down side is the property did not have a gas grill as advertised on VRBO.

Great location. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, and activities. Walking distance to pool, which also has an incredible view. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of sleeping space and seating. The view is amazing and the outdoor furniture was perfect. Loved the fire pit on the lower patio. Will definitely stay again!
Wonderful amenities. The outdoor pool is right next door. The inside pool is down the hill. The house has everything you would need for a great vacation stay and is very nicely appointed. Close to all the Boone and Banner Elk area has to offer!

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Townhome R5A! If you are in the High Country again, we would love to have you visit again.
This house with its amazing view and location is the perfect getaway to the North Carolina highlands. The place is very clean and comfortable with so much space to have a large group stay together. The sweeping mountain views are hard to beat and it is well worth the drive up the mountain. I would highly recommend this rental and I look forward to returning again soon!

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed this little "slice of heaven." The mountain drive does make up for the beautiful mountain views from the home. If you are in the area again, we would love to have you visit with us again.
The unit could not have been any more perfect for our family. There was enough privacy for everyone and the unit is laid out perfectly to maximize the space. Views are amazing.

Beautifully appointed and gorgeous views. Only issue was pool key fob did not work so we had to drive to management office for another. But staff was courteous and responsive. We will stay here again.

Thank you for your review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. I apologize for the issue with your key fob, but happy the staff at the office was able to remedy this for you. We would love to have you visit with us again if you are in the area!
This was our second stay at this home. We booked it specifically because we had such a great experience the last time. The check in/out process is very easy and convenient; especially important to us managing little kids. The home is warm, inviting and spacious, and always clean. We also love the proximity to the pool and entrance/exit. It has everything we need for a long, relaxing evening. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your kind review, we love when guests return to the townhome. We hope to see you again soon!
We had a great time at this property! It was clean, spacious, comfortable - everything we could ask for! The check in was very easy and communication was excellent. We enjoyed being able to use the fitness facility and the indoor lap pool/hot tub since our day for planned hiking was rainy and extremely foggy. We journeyed into Boone for some shopping - just a few miles away. We will be back!

Everything was great except the master bed was too firm. We were unable to access the club house with the key fob that was on the refrigerator.
