This was a great place to stay, other cabins around but you still felt like you were secluded. Me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was a great break from work. The cabin was very clean and had everything that we needed in it for our stay.

Possibly the Best View on the Mountain

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Idle Spur cabin with its lofted bedroom facing the large great room windows was perfect. I honestly can't think of anything I'd recommend changing. We'll certainly be returning and bringing family members along on our next trip.

Amazing vacay

This cabin was quaint, peaceful and charming. Two bedrooms and a loft and two baths. Tubing, trails and horseback riding in on the property. Amazing views. GPS is a definite no but the staff are helpful and super friendly and will best direct you to the parkway. If you use their directions you are about forty minutes from the parkway. If you are down to hang out, cook in and enjoy the scenery and make a day trip out of the sites close by, this is an amazing place!!

Great for a quick weekend!

We booked this cabin last minute for the Labor Day weekend and overall we were happy with it! Gorgeous area and common areas of the resort were well kept. Our house was clean overall and what we expected. Only callouts are that the small yard and drive were unkempt and need some light work done (weed eater mostly). The dishwasher also does not work (doesn’t seem to have pressure or something to actually clean what’s in it), though it does run. There’s a rusty nail in it too that we think may have been used as a homemade attempt to fix it somehow. We would definitely stay at this resort again but would try to get a different so we didn’t have to spend time washing dishes. The hot tub is also detached from the home which would have been nice to know ahead of the trip. Again, overall the house is very charming and great for smaller groups!

A great weekend for four lifelong friends!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My dear friend's husband recently passed away so I wanted to get her away for a relaxing weekend. We also took our daughters who grew up together and have remained friends for 40 years. Our cabin was perfect! The view was amazing and the girls enjoyed the hot tub. We had our first night's dinner at the little restaurant on the property which was very convenient after a long ride. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We ended our Sunday afternoon with an awesome horseback ride lead by our guide, Lily Weston. Lily is a precious young lady! I hadn't been on a horse in 40 years, but Peggy Sue was a great horse, as were the other three! We will certainly plan another vacation at Leatherwood. Haven't had such fun in a long time!

Christmas/New Year Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great, quiet vacation at the "Idle Spur" house. We arrived on December 27th and stayed until January 2nd. The house is great; it was clean, cozy, the view was fantastic at any time of the day!!We went hiking on one of the trails. We tried to go horse back riding but they were booked throughout our stay... we took awesome pictures of the horses and stables etc. I would recommend this property for a small family or small group. Customer service at the office was good. The instructions on how to get to the property were accurate. Other than the fact the the washer was not working, every other appliance in the house worked perfectly. Management tried to get a repair man up there to fix it but no one showed up. We understand, it was the last week of December... The distance to "civilization" was kind of long. it was a 45/50 minute drive to Boone and to other attractions. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to going up there soon!

Kids loved the loft , bunk beds and the hot tub. I would love to go there to see the fall foliage next time. With all the home amenities it’s a perfect place away from home.
