Great winter weekend!

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.

The Perfect Getaway!

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!

A family favorite

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!

Girls' weekend

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!
