The perfect house! We had a multi generation family trip and this was the perfect spot to host us all, ranging from great grandparents to infants. Mike and Rachel were so helpful and we loved all of the QR codes around the house. They really have thought of every detail your family would need. We look forward to coming back!

Our group of 13 had a wonderful time at Wildlife manner. Everything is exactly as pictured. The instructions for all the extras around the house (media room, mini-golf, etc) were excellently presented via brief video explanations. The location of the house was perfect. Just far enough away from town to relax, but close enough to go to dinner. The kitchen was well appointed, and a generous amount of starter items were available. Thanks again Wildlife Manor! - Leah

The house was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with every baking pan, pots that you could need. The hosts were very responsive to questions and were easy to communicate with. There were many activities for the kids including books, games and toys. And we enjoyed the movie theater as well. The view from the porch was stunning! Thank you for a wonderful week!

Wildlife Manor has many amenities and lots of rooms and beds for a crowd. The hosts could not have been any more responsive but there weren’t but a couple things we needed to reach out about. Kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed the movie room. The view was incredible. Refrigerator and freezer were large. The hosts welcomed us with their normal welcoming gift but had also decorated for my 70th birthday which is why we were there. Recommend highly if you enjoy the mountains.

The house was perfect for our large family gathering. The children ranging from 3 months to 6 had a blast in playroom, theatre and mini golf. The adults had lots of beautiful nights on the deck admiring the view. So need to watch the slopes with children. House was clean. Great kitchen

We enjoyed hosting Beck and his group. They had a pretty good snow storm to contend with but still made it up and seemed to have a good time. We appreciated how clean and organized they left the place. Welcome back anytime. Thanks Mike and Rachel

Wildlife Manor is a comfortable, spacious home, located in a peaceful, secluded setting with an unspoiled panoramic view of the mountains and providing every conceivable amenity for relaxation or playful entertainment; something for everyone regardless of age! From sitting on the deck early in the morning listening to nothing but nature, to relaxing in the hot tub, to competing in a game of miniature golf, or corn-hole, or pool, or ping-pong, or watching a movie in the theater, a week at The Manor flies by without even leaving the home! The kitchen is enormous and equipped with every necessary prep item and small appliance, though it might require a bit of searching for there are numerous storage cabinets and drawers. The hosts, Mike and Rachel, are readily available and do not hesitate to address and question or concern. Stop looking and book Wildlife Manor today if you are fortunate enough to find your preferred dates available.

Our family has vacationed at Wildlife Manor for the past three years, and each visit has been exceptional. The house is beautiful, spacious, and comfortably accommodates our entire family with plenty of room for everyone to relax. We appreciate that it is pet friendly so our "fluffy" family can enjoy the stay.The family room & porch is one of our favorite gathering places, featuring beautiful views and comfortable furniture where we can all spend time together. The kitchen is large, well-equipped, and perfect for preparing meals for a big family, with ample seating so everyone can enjoy dining together.We also love the movie theater, fire pit, multiple game rooms, and the new workout gym—there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.Boone is a wonderful community, and we look forward to our annual visit to Tweetsie Railroad, hiking in the beautiful mountains, exploring the caverns, and experiencing the local shops and surrounding attractions.We really can't say enough positive things about our experience. This home has become a special part of our family's traditions, and we always look forward to coming back.
