About this property

Fantastic for a small family or multiple families! Also check vrbo.com/3702514

This lovely, spacious, three level, 5 bedroom home sits on a lush 3+ acre property close to Mast General Store in Valle Crucis. Extremely convenient access to Boone, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, Banner Elk, and Beech Mountain. No need for four-wheel drive, even in the winter.

The large outdoor terraces feature a massive outdoor fireplace and a 90-jet hot tub. All five bedrooms have Smart TV's (large, new ones!). Upstairs, the spacious master suite has a king size four-poster bed, gas-log fireplace, a garden tub, and shower. A plush queen bedroom is also upstairs. Downstairs, two more bedrooms feature King Beds, and a third bedroom has a queen bed plus a solid bunk bed. **ALL beds, including bunk beds, have thick, new, high-quality mattresses. You'll have great sleep. The roomy kitchen has two refrigerators and seating for 14. There are four distinct living areas, including a comfortable upstairs living room, a large downstairs den with a gas log fireplace, a bright, hexagonal Florida room with pretty views, and a well-furnished, 500 sq ft play room featuring a pool table. Look at our photos!!

This house is so much better than a cramped log cabin on a steep hill. There is plenty of space for multiple vehicles, plenty of room for adults and kids to play inside or out, surrounded by beautiful trees, mountain scenery, and frequent visits by deer that live in the area.

Great location close to Boone, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Elk River Falls, etc. Easy to get in and out of, plenty of parking, and would even accommodate an RV. Plenty of room to spread out inside along with a great outdoor area with super nice hot tub. Any issues are promptly addressed by the owners. Highly recommend this property for family and friends!

Great family getaway

Great place for a family getaway. We had 13 people and there was plenty of room. Well stocked kitchen, great internet service, hosts were easy to communicate with. Loved that it’s not on the side of a mountain and plenty of room for kids to play outside and inside. Quiet area easy access to snow tubing and shopping. Not far from town. Would definitely go back and stay again!!

Great mountain stay

We had a team of men that served with a local ministry doing hurricane relief and use this VRBO For our sleeping accommodations. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked for our team. A few very minor things to be expected with such a large property but we were all grateful for such large accomodations. We enjoyed grilling and the fire pit at the end of the evenings. Thank you!

More than we were expecting

This property really had it all, we brought in some things we thought we might have needed for our stay and boy, we were wrong. The place is fully equiped, with even more than we actually needed. The rooms were clean and every space was great for our year end family gathering; the views were amazing and overall we're already planning on coming back. Would highly recommend this property for large groups.

Highly recommend!!

I gave five stars in my reviews for every position except one. The kitchen in this rental is on the second floor. I could not see that at all in the description of the home. Had any of our elderly ladies gone with us they would not have been able to have got up to the kitchen. Other than that, this home was fantastic. The views from the kitchen were beautiful too with it being on the second floor. We had 13 ladies on this visit, and we all had plenty of space to visit together or have alone time if we felt like it. The kitchen was very well stocked, and we had no problem with any of our meals that we were preparing. We had a slight problem with the water which was immediately taking care of. I had absolutely no complaints about this place and look forward to another visit in the future. The owners were very helpful in our preparation to come. Offering multiple suggestions for sleeping conditions. The rental was very accessible to shopping and easy to find.

Great house!

Our stay was planned for 3 weeks after Helene, so things were up in the air for a short time. Stephen was great, however, and he reached out with information on the condition of the house, roads, etc. We didn't want to travel if it would be more of a burden on the community, but we also wanted to help in any way we could - even if it just meant supporting the local businesses. This house is wonderful, especially for an all-adult crew. We each had our own bedrooms with big beds that were extremely comfortable. The dumb waiter came in handy when we wanted to roast hot dogs in the outdoor fireplace - we were able to send all of the food down to the eating nook on the lower level. We would definitely stay here again.

Nothing bad to say!

We absolutely loved our stay! Wish we could have stayed longer. The house had plenty of space for our group of 12. We never felt on top of each other and we never ran out of hot water! The home was clean and pictures and description were great! Check in was so simple and we never ran into any issues! can’t recommend this place enough. Such a beautiful home and nice spacious layout for a group!

About the host

Hosted by Stephen and Sandy Smith

Host profile image
We have over 15 years of vacation property rental experience (see VRBO #1363733) and pride ourselves on working hard to provide an exceptional, clean, very comfortable place for our guests. We also strive to be responsive and quick to answer emails and rental inquiries.

Why they chose this property

This home is perfectly located for a family visit to the High Country, easy to reach from anywhere. You will be surrounded by beautiful trees, with privacy and broken views of the mountains and the valley. Yet you are close to everything you need. Boone grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping are only 5 to 6 miles away. The famous Mast General Store is only1.5 miles down Broadstone Road, along with the Valle Crucis Park, alongside the Watauga River. The river is just down the hill from the house. The large lot, surrounded by mature trees, provides privacy and a quiet place to relax. Unlike too many rentals with steep driveways or excessive isolation, access to our place is easy and there is plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. Sun, rain, snow....easy access.

What makes this property unique

There are many benefits at Broadstone Manor: 1. A large outdoor terrace wraps around the house, with a ten foot tall stone fireplace, an eight person hot tub with 90 jets, and overhead string lighting. Outdoor furniture provides plenty of seating for everyone. 2. A large, bright, well-supplied large kitchen with two refrigerators features seating for at least 14 people, with great morning views to the east. 3. A truly unique feature of this property is the fact that there are five distinct, roomy living spaces, and all of them are very comfortably furnished. Upstairs, there is a living room with a 60 inch Smart TV. On the ground level there is a very large den with a gas log fireplace that can easily seat at least 10 people. An adjoining "Tea Room" with a glass table for cards, games, or chatting. The hexagonal sun room is wonderful..
