This is one of our favorite cabins! We can’t wait to go back. It is well decorated, immaculately clean, and has everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The views are beautiful! My kids loved rolling down the hills and having s’mores. We almost wish we had not planned as many activities bc we wanted to spend more time at the cabin! The hot tub was awesome for my husband and I after putting the kids to bed. 10/10 recommend.

We absolutely loved staying in this cabin. It was comfortable and cozy, and just the perfect getaway in the mountains for our family. They provide everything you need for your stay and have such amazing views. Especially when the deer pass the windows in the morning. The only thing I did not like was the stiffness of the beds, but my husband does not agree with me.
We had a wonderful week at this cabin, it was as pictured, clean and had everything
we needed. The location is the best part, we are close to everything but yet when you turn into Lams way it is peaceful and no traffic.

We were here for a family wedding and the cabin was great! The ladies were most helpful at check-in with information. Located in a rural subdivision with larger lots so plenty of privacy but still close enough to everything needed. Very clean. Hot tub jets were not very powerful but it was hot and sparkling clean like it should be. Will definitely stay with them again.

Excellent. Did determine on Saturday morning that dual plug next to Coffee Machine was inoperable.
We stayed over the weekend and the property and cabin were perfect. Loved being in the woods and the house had everything, and more, than we could have asked. Will 100% rent this place again.

Country Life was a wonderful cabin for our family getaway! We had 6 adults and everyone was impressed with the location, cleanliness, and features of the cabin. VCLCR makes it easy to book a stay and the staff are friendly and helpful. We have stayed with them for over 20 years and are always impressed!
Property very clean and well stocked. Good to have rental agency to help with locating property as no cell signal.

Really enjoyed our stay at Country Life. Felt right at home. Myself, my wife, kids, and grandkids all enjoyed the cabin. It was well furnished, nicely decorated, had comfortable furniture and beds. Nice large Smart TV in the living room and another one in the loft upstairs. Hot Tub worked great. Kitchen was nicely furnished. Grill was clean and worked well. We enjoyed seeing the horses behind the house. Plenty of yard for the kids to run around (not very common with most mountain cabins). Only problem was that the ice maker in the refrigerator did not work, but they were waiting on a part to fix it. Easy to get to with no really steep roads. Location was great. Close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn., etc.
