This is the second time my family has stayed at Pamela's home in Hound Ears. It is such a special place, and we lucked out with perfect weather for the weekend. Pamela has always answered any questions I have within the hour or less. She called us the first day to make sure everything was OK. The house is always clean, and the kitchen and bathrooms are well-stocked. There is a great fire pit and grill on the deck to watch the sunsets over Grandfather Mountain-Life Is Good! We will definitely stay there again.

It was absolutely perfect!! We love to cook and the host had an extremely well stocked kitchen with every appliance needed, serving platters, and plenty of china and wine glasses. The view is outstanding!! It was also nice having the convenience of a washer/dryer with a 2 year old. We will definitely be back!

A Gem in NC Mountains

What a wonderful view we had!! What a way to wake up! Temperature was comfortable, beds and bedding were comfortable and clean, floors were clean and finally there was no lack of entertainment. There’s nothing we needed that Pam didn’t have. We much appreciate the ownership and management of this property. We would love to stay again!

Beautiful view from the upper balcony and the lower screened in balcony. If you desire that in a gated neighborhood where the amenities are beautiful but limited to members or those willing to pay a hefty fee for a trial membership than this home with four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and three fireplaces will serve you well. But, if you have a handicapped mother who looks forward to a nightly bath in the whirlpool tub, ask the host about the functionality before you book to make an informed decision. Fortunately, we made it work without access to the amenities and mom just used the tub to soak in. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and every utensil needed to make meals. Every bedroom has a television so nobody has to miss their shows. My folks really enjoyed restocking the bird feeders each day with the seed that is kept in a bin in the dining room and watching the variety of birds, squirrels and chipmunks come to the upper balcony to feed.Would be a beautiful place to take in the views of the changing foliage in the Fall, making use of the fireplaces since there was plenty of firewood provided.

Beautiful In The Winter

The home was even more beautiful than your pictures. The Host was amazing! We arrived on Friday 12/23/22. The winter storm hit, power & water went out. There was nothing to do except keep the fireplaces going. The support system this neighborhood has is like you’d hope everyone has. Wood delivered !! Power came on but it was time to go. But we had a memorable Christmas skied & tube To Much Fun !! Definitely recommend this home & location ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cindy& Mark

Amazing view

We loved the house and it as decorated nicely. Great space for 3 couples. We enjoyed the view, fireplaces and outdoor fire pit. The house is a little musty smelling but there is a humidifier to help. The screened in porch is amazing as well as the upstairs patio with lots of seating. The refrigerator had a lot of food in it, and the bathroom had a lot of personal supplies. Both were a little uncomfortable in the time of covid. Less stuff would be better! We were also surprised to see a camera in the kitchen on top of the cabinets. Not sure if it was on but creepy, none the less. All in all we had a great visit and I would recommend this home and would stay there again.

OH MY---There was no camera on top of the cabinets in the kitchen. We have a remote for the lights in the kitchen. The are mounted on the wall. One for the underneath cabinet lights and even one for above the cabinets. They light up in different colors. There is a sensor with the remote. We have no cameras in the house for sure! We do leave shampoo and liquid soap for our guest. We have individual bottles of such in kits we leave for guest too. Thank you for the comments.

A THANKFUL Family Celebration

Our stay was perfect for our family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving. The location was a good spot for those traveling from Charlotte and Raleigh area. The views were even better in person. The house literally had everything you might need when hosting family. There was space for football watching and game playing around the table. The real fireplace, cold temps, and snow in the distance made the perfect backdrop. For those staying, know that communication with the owner is excellent, and she is there to make you stay easy and fulfilling. She has plenty of kitchen wares to keep the party going. If you are traveling with toddlers or elderly, just note that there is a set of stairs to the downstairs rooms that lacks a railing on one side. There is a baby gate for use and a rail that begins about half-way down on the left. We had the grandparents on the main floor and enough hands and eyes on the toddler that neither were an issue. Decor was as expected for many of the homes in the area. It has your typically mountain feel. You can see some updates and some original work. Everything was convenient to the location. Plenty to do in Boone and Blowing Rock. Great restaurants and shopping. If breweries are your thing, there are several really good ones too. We were pleased with our stay and highly recommend this property.

Great view, well- worn house

The owner was great to deal with. She called me directly after I asked any questions. Unfortunately that doesn’t help when you arrive at a house and discover: it was not clean, very dated with kitchen cabinets that are falling apart, chunks of linoleum missing. Carpet has patches everywhere. There is so much clutter we barely had any space to prepare meals. No place to put our groceries. A few of the side tables were literally falling apart. All appliances worked but were very old. Except the new Keurig! It seemed like a great area, to stay in Hounds Ears, we seem to have gotten the oldest house in the subdivision. Being in a gated community does not equate to a great place. Definitely needs some work and care and seems a bit neglected. The last 200-300 ft were very steep. We were ok in our SUV but my son’s Toyota Corolla didn’t like it. Overall, it was dirty. Back porch was a mess, I swept it so we could go sit out there. I rented thru VRBO, don’t think I’ll do that again

So sorry you guys felt it was dirty. I have a cleaning service that usually is very good. The porch is in a canopy of huge trees and one cannot always control the leaves but will have the housekeeping address that too. In regards to the updates of the house we are putting in a new kitchen and floors this month- though there was just one patch in the carpet. All the appliances will be new too. When it comes to the mountains there are some steep roads but the view is amazing!

Great Views - Wonderful Host!

This home has breathtaking views over the valley to the next mountains. Nearly at the end of a road to the top of the mountain. Dog friendly and so clean that you would never know any pets ever stayed there. lVery close to attractions. Great place for a family vacation. Pam, the owner/host was extremely accomodating and welcoming.

Wonderful Mountain Vacation Home!

We had a lovely stay at Pam's home! She was super easy to communicate with and very helpful with advice for activities and restaurants in the area. The home is perfect for a large gathering, wonderful open kitchen/family room with plenty of space to spread out, play games and visit. The view is incredible! Also very easy location to Hawksnest, Grandfather Mountain and the Alpine Coaster. We will definitely return again.

Mountain sanctuary!

I have stayed in VRBO’s and for years. This property was , by far, the best stocked I have EVER seen!! I could’ve brought just protein and vegetables and everything else was provided!! That was not the best part! The views were unbelievably amazing that we layered up and sat on the deck to watch the hundreds of changing colors as the sunset!! Then a wee dram and a log fire…bliss!!! I’ll definitely stay here again….and again…and again!!! The owner called Ulysses when we were on our way and couldn’t be any more helpful 100/100!!!

Amazing Views, fabulous amenities, well-stocked kitchen

Staying at this property was like visiting a dear friend's home. They provide everything you need for a comfortable, homey stay. The kitchen has everything you need, including complimentary spices and condiments and coffee. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of seating for our family of 6. We burned fires in all three fireplaces with the wood that was provided. The drive up to the house is a bit steep, so in times of snow and ice, you will need 4WD, but its an easy drive to everything you want to visit in the area. I can say with confidence that we intend to visit this home again.

The home was better than the pictures! Very clean and amazing relaxing views from a spacious deck. The deer next door added to the relaxing weekend. The family enjoyed our time together and we would certainly enjoy staying again.
