Perfect little cabin for a great vacation get away!

Everything was just as listed. The house was clean and updated, everything we needed was there. We cooked many meals at the home with ease. Close to many attractions and quaint towns.

Doe Mountain Trails

Our family booked this property because we were trail riding at Doe Mountain Trails. This was the perfect spot to stay for that. The house was super clean and having a fully supplied kitchen was even better. We will definitly be booking more stays in the future.

Great Cottage, Top-Notch Hosts

Allan & Denise were wonderful hosts, responsive and had great recommendations. The layout and cleanliness of the cottage was superb, very comfortable and cozy. We saw deer, but only bears we saw were the pictures decorating the walls of the cottage. It was a great location for our trips. We will be back again.

Nice, quite and peaceful

The home had everything that was needed. It was clean, the beds were firm and it was easy to get to. Lots of things to see and do in the area. According to your likes. Small town but the big one (Boone) is less than an hour away.

Home away from home

This house was comfortable with homey touches to make you feel welcome. The hosts were in touch with friendly suggestions and helpful advice. Fun visitors came near the house like deer, a skunk, fire flies and bats. Enjoyable setting and quiet.

Great place

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. Close enough to Watauga Lake for easy access to daytime activities. There are yellow jackets under the back steps, so possibly a best, as they will come out and sting you if you stand on the back steps too long. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you for an awesome stay.

Excellent

The place is perfect. Clean, has everything you need, kitchen is open to the living area for family togetherness. The property is amazing. Well kept trails. Moderate level hiking. Beautiful mountain with a large open area as well as the many acres of wooded mountain. We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have stayed in such a beautiful place. It was a destination in itself for us and worth the long drive from Miami.

Everything we Expected!

We enjoyed our stay in rural Butler County. This property is very quiet and functional. The living quarters were comfortable and clean. The property was very enjoyable. Allan communicated openly and was very helpful. We hiked the woods behind the house.

Quiet and quaint

This spot is great if your looking for a secluded quiet spot to kick back. Perfect amount of space for us with everything we needed in the home. Only thing I would suggest is a few staples in the kitchen such as non stick spray, some spices, etc. But overall we were quite impressed with the property.

With Covid, we can't leave opened containers of supplies after guests. Everything opened must be disposed of. I'll make a note that guests might want to bring their favorite spices along if they plan to cook.

Beautiful Home to Stay in

I would return. Alan was always available to answer any questions. The home was clean, well cared for, and sitting on the porch was a delight. I even saw a Red Carnal Bird....If you are looking for a peace of heaven, you will find it their.

Hideaway gem on a hilltop

Alan was quick to respond to any questions I had. I was a little skeptical after passing a few shady looking neighbors but as soon as I entered the house, I seemed to have forgotten about them. The house had so many little things that brought that " I'm home" feeling, from the beautiful quilts to the Tiffany style lamps. Denise even had my style drinking glasses from home there. What a coincidence! I wish we would've had more time to spend there. Thank you Alan and Denise for your home away from home.
