Great property with beautiful view. Cabin had everything you needed. Sleeps alot of people. However, the road/driveway is curvy and very narrow. Kinda scary but it is paved. You also have to bring your own linens. But again, the cabin is GREAT, clean, and secluded!

Home away from Home

We had a wonderful weekend at this mountain Cabin, it truly felt like a home away from home. Fully stocked kitchen for easy meal preparation, comfortable living area, nice size bed rooms with very comfortable beds. Hot tub with great views was an added bonus. The owner was very responsive, and hospitable. We will definitely stay again when in the Boone area!

At first our stay was absolutely wonderful. The house was very nice, beautiful location, up the hill in the trees. Very secluded and peaceful. We had a totally positive experience, until we checked out. We knew that this property did not provide bed linens or towels for guests, so we had to bring our own. Because the house was quite a drive up the hill from the town, we also brought items like toilet paper and paper towels just to be safe. The property did leave some paper towels on the counter but we also used the ones we brought as we had 8 people in the house. Packing up to leave, a roll of paper towels were on the kitchen counter. Thinking nothing of it, I handed the roll to my niece since she is in college there at App State. It didn’t cross my mind if it was a roll we brought or was in the house. Well, about 20 minutes after we checked out and left, I received an email from the owners/hosts. They accused us of going into their “paper towel inventory” and stealing paper towels. Seriously? One roll of paper towels? That we provided for ourselves for the most part. If we had not brought our own, we would have used all of the towels they provided and then some. But more importantly, they admitted to surveillance cameras which were not disclosed to us per VRBO policy or NC law. So I would say only rent here if you want your hosts watching you the whole time. Creepy.

They view of Grandfather Mountain was amazing from the porch. The owner was great to work with and was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Top Of The Mountain

This beautiful cabin at the top of a mountain in Valle Crucis delivered in every way for our family's December vacation. My wife and adult children loved the incredible views, the comfortable accommodations, the fireplace, hot tub, foosball, and even old-school arcade games. It's convenient to Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. The host was helpful and quick to respond to all our questions prior to the trip. Of all our recent mountain rentals, this tops the list. We hope to make the Owl's Roost part of our annual tradition.

Beautiful Home and Location

This was our first visit to the area and we loved it. The house was perfect for our family and we recommend it. We especially enjoyed the view in the morning from the deck. Unfortunately, the hot tub was out of order the entire time due to a previous renter's mishap per the owner. We always try to choose homes with a hot tub and are willing to pay the premium, so this was a disappointment.

Mountain Heaven

Beautiful mountain cabin. Could not have asked for a better place to relax. Wonderful view of Grandfather Mountain. Dear grazing in the yard while we drank our morning coffee. Well stocked kitchen. Close to everything. Just up the way from a beautiful city park with the Watauga river running through it. I remembered the door code wrong, sent an email to the owner and he called me within a few minutes to get me the code and answer any questions that I might have. I would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was wonderful and the location was a big plus. We had plenty of room for the family. The game room and the many board games in the basement and the hot tub on the deck were a big hit with all of us. The beds are all very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The living room has seating for plenty of people. There are only two minor things that I would note. The first is that you have to take your own linens. The second is there is nowhere to dump the garbage on property. You have to take it with you or run it to the landfill. Other than those two very minor items, we highly recommend this property and we would rent it again.

Nice house, pleasant stay, just come prepared

Overall the house was nice with a good view. We found out after booking that you have to bring all of your own towels and linens, which is rather annoying for weekend getaway. We tried to communicate with the owner several times before the stay about parking, door code, etc. While communication was quick, the owner was not overly friendly/helpful about us having “so many cars for so few people”, referring us to the email several weeks ago when asking about the door code, etc. Also, the grill was a charcoal grill, no gas or propane so come prepared with the necessary stuff.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. Excellent host who was easy to contact and helpful with my requests. The property is very quiet and peaceful. The inside decor is whimsical and has a definite mountain theme. The Cabin architecture is impressive. I don’t know how they got those massive logs up that mountain. It is solid. The kitchen has everything you need. Very clean. The hot tub was comfortable and extremely clean. The outdoor furniture was perfect. We loved the swing. We saw deer and wild turkeys from the deck. The charcoal grill was ok after I Googled on how to cook on it. I haven’t used charcoal in years.Nothing died in vain! It turned out well. We hired a guide from Speckled Trout and he was amazing. He took us on a private waterfall hike. Harper’s Falls. High point of our stay. We dodged rain and cool temps the rest of our stay. The hot tub was well used. We almost built a fire but didn’t. The park in Valle Crucis is soooo nice. You have a great walking trail along the river and the wood carvings of animals are beautiful.We would stay here again.

Owls Roost

This is a beautiful piece of property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were there for four days three nights. The property was very clean, very spacious, and fully furnished to our liking. There were eight people in our group, this cabin is very spacious and accommodating for all that were there. I would definitely stay at this cabin again, and I would recommend it for anyone that is looking for a place to stay.
