Cute and great location

Very cute place and loved the location. Right in the middle of Boone and Blowing Rock. Loved hearing the train as well when outside.The only thing that was a bit of an inconvenience was having to mail the keys back and taking the trash to the dump instead of having the cleaners take it. The amount of beds was not as described and we were stunned that one of the beds in the listing was a day bed instead of a big enough bed for 2 people. Other than that, we did enjoy our trip.

If you are there to ski-the location couldn’t be better! However, we will not be returning for 2 main reasons that may be fixed for future tenants. First, the air quality-the mold smell from the basement made it up into the main living areas. The second is that tenants are required to take their trash to the city site. I wouldn’t have minded that except if you leave on a Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday the site is closed. There was no I mention of what to do then so you are forced to take it home or dispose of it illegally in someone else’s dumpster. It is a cute house with lots of things to explore. I hope the mold issue is fixed and directions for trash are added.

Cottage in the mountains

The cottage was very clean and cute. Very close to Appalachian State. We definitely would stay here again. The fall colors were perfect but would love to come back in the winter to ski.

Cute Cabin

Dated but very charming. Only complaints are trash disposal and key policy. You have to mail keys back to owner. You must dispose of all trash after check-out. Left on Sunday and trash dump sites are all closed on Sundays.

Great family ski getaway

This was SO close to App Ski Mtn front gate, absolutely adorable property. The driveway was a bit steep, but no issues for my small SUV. Conveniently located between two small cities for night activities and dinners. Would absolutely stay again! Great for the skiing trip.

Comforts of home

Our family had a fantastic stay at this cozy ski cottage! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the slopes, which made it so easy to hit the mountain without any hassle. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the equipment we needed to cook our meals, which made it feel like home. While the house isn't extravagant, it was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The vibe was warm and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a laid-back, convenient, and comfortable base for their ski trip!

Great Mountain Property, Only Steps to the Slopes

This property is as advertised, within walking distance of App Ski Mtn. The wood stove is amazing and heats the entire living area very quickly, which is great after a day out in the snow. We came to visit my son who attends App State and this was a perfect location. We would definitely stay here again, when we vist. Only complaints would be that you have to deal with your own trash removal, not sure why this isn't part of cleaing fee, and you have to mail the key back to the owner. I have stayed in many VRBO's and have never done this before.

Great location

Cabin was clean and as advertised. Third bedroom is quite small but adequate. Third bathroom is in basement so not the best option for the rooms on the main and second floor. Owner was very easy to deal with and communicated well.Great location. Old fashion key lock and only one set of keys so a bit of a hassle for a group. Would recommend a keyless entry lock.
