Breathtaking Views

The property was outstanding and the host did a superb job. I highly recommend this location for anybody looking for house in the mountains. The view was breathtaking waking up and watching the sunrise. It was conveniently located to go out and go exploring as well as getting back to relax and play fun games with my family. We will definitely be back.Thank y'all for making a much needed vacation so memorable!

Great cabin, beautiful view

Took our 4 year old twins to this cabin for the 4th of July holiday. Both the cabin and view were amazing. There were so many little touches that made the stay extra special. The kids loved all the toys and getting to make s’mores and we loved sitting back and looking at the Mountain View. We would definitely return!

Fantastic mountain retreat

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties in the mountains of western NC, and this is one of our very favorites. The views are stunning, the house itself is clean, charming, and very well-appointed -- complete with toys and games for the kids, a game room with shuffleboard and foosball, and (most important to the grownups) a VERY well-stocked kitchen. Highly reccomend!

Beautiful home with amazing views

We travel to the NC mountains once a year from Winston-Salem and have stayed in many cabins over the years. Ain’t Life Grand is definitely our favorite with comfortable accommodations, stunning views and lots of little extras provided by the hosts. We had a wonderful time on spring break reconnecting with our grown children and day trips to Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and Boone. Truly enjoyed this lovely property and would highly recommend.

A beautiful house at the top of the mountain. Our grandkids loved all the games and toys they found. We loved the kitchen and den that had a wall of windows that provided one of the best views of the NC Mountains anywhere. Great fireplace and a comfy hot tub included. We recommend it! 5 stars!

The cabin is beautiful and the amenities are fantastic, but there are no words to describe the incredible view from Ain’t Life Grand! Looking out at the mountains gave us all such a feeling of serenity. The huge windows provided a beautiful view even when we were inside. The cabin was immaculate and well-stocked. We stayed at the cabin for most of the trip as we had everything we needed right there for a perfect vacation.

This is a beautiful property with the best views of any. The owners take great pride in anticipating the needs of guests and providing for them. This is an annual trip for us and in most every way this was the best home and owners ever. It would appear the listing provided for the property manager needs updating as the one provided did not reply. After our stay and speaking with the owner I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Retreat!

We had a great week with family (we are from Florida, they are from NH) belatedly celebrating my husband‘s 90th birthday in May and our first trip outside our Covid bubble. The house was immaculate and was very easy for him to get around with his walker. Our kids hiked, we drove around and inhaled the cool mountain air. Heather was very responsive to the few issues we had. We have rented many times from VRBO. This beautiful cabin is one of the best.

Wonderful Cabin for family vacation!

We rented this cabin for a family getaway with my parents and two children. The cabin was gorgeous with spectacular views that changed at different points in the day as clouds rolled in and out. The house was immaculate and the host thought of every detail from kids toys to smores for the fire pit. The beds were very, very comfortable. The hot tub was pristine. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook dinner together every night. It was a perfect location to the different parks, ski resorts and towns. I highly recommend this cabin, we were all sad to go!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Mogollon

Host profile image
Our family has been traveling to the Blue Ridge Mountains for over 5 years now and every time we go back we feel as though we never want to leave, so we finally made the big decision to buy in Boone, NC. As a military family, we often need to escape the stress of military life and this home, the mountains and the people are just incredible. We will retire in this cabin and the mountains. We know that by sharing this beautiful place with others, those memories and experiences will make an impact in the lives of others.

Why they chose this property

After searching for almost 7 months, when we pulled up to this cabin and got out of the car we were just awe struck by the feeling we got! Once we stepped inside and saw the beauty of the wood, fireplace, large ceilings and open living space and the potential of making it feel like ours. That was it.

We have spent a year doing remodeling, fixing it up, furnishing it! We have put our heart and soul into it top to bottom, cleaning up the landscaping you name it. We hope that you can see that in our photos and video tours!

What makes this property unique

The Location is perfect, private yet close to major roads, gas stations grocery and downtown town + the parks.

The minute you step out of your car and see that view, it will overtake you, its just magical, brings a sense of peace, calmness and joy.

Once you open that front door it really hits you, like WOW! The craftsmanship furnishings and rustic yet modern decor, we have been told its straight out of a magazine. And as of April 2018 we were in-fact in a magazine (Airbnb featured our cabin, which was so exciting)

Enjoy lunch on the deck, read a good book, snuggle by the fireplace, play games with the family.It's really an experience not just a place to stay.
