Property and home was just as described. Million dollar views of Grandfather Mountain and secluded. The deck was a great place to spend quality time and the hot tub was the perfect end to the day. Minutes from Blowing Rock but situated in the woods and very private. If you want the feel of high country living with a short drive to town, this is the place for you.

The house was very clean and well stocked. The views were phenomenal. The roads leading to the house were a little tricky but nothing that would prevent us from staying there again.

This is an absolutely terrific property with a beautiful view of grandfather Mountain and surrounding hills. We happen to be there on a foggy day and even so the view was very pretty when the mist were rising up and we could see. It was also rainy and yet we were very comfortable. The hot tub was very handy and also very nice for that kind of weather. The climb up the hill was pretty steep so make sure you’re comfortable with that but well worth a visit. It was only a short distance up into blowing rock which we also really enjoyed. The property is beautifully maintained and had everything we needed. The host were wonderful. Communication was great. We highly recommend this property.

Cabin had fantastic views. It was so peaceful and pleasant to sit on the deck for morning coffee and evening sundowns. The bedroom with expansive window facing the mountains was an added bonus! We really enjoyed our getaway!
