Toby, We are thrilled that you were pleased with Alpine Log Cabin. We try to think like renters so we know what they need and what they like. Apparently we did a good job for you. You were wonderful renters and we would definitely having you return in the future. Best wishes,Carole
We had a wonderful 4 nights at this beautiful cabin. We were lucky enough for it to have snowed in March during our stay. The fire place made our stay comfy and warm. The owners left very thorough and thoughtful instructions about all the games and how to play them. We enjoyed enjoyed the game room and the well stocked clean cabin. We reconnected with nature and truly enjoyed the deer that came every morning and evening. We highly recommend this cabin and are very thankful to our gracious hosts! Sincerely the Medingers

I am glad that the weather gave you a gift you probably weren't expecting. Sudden snow flurries are very common in the Blue Ridge Mountain. Luckily you rented a place that would let you enjoy it. I am also glad that you appreciated the thorough instruction manual. Some renters feel the mamual is overkill but we think anytime a renter doesn't need to make a desperation call to us, is a win-win for both them and us. You were wonderful renters and treated the cabin as if it were your home-our cleaning crew loved your kindness.
Please consider coming back to Alpine Log Cabin in the future to enjoy a different kind of weather. Carole
Beautiful & cozy cabin with incredible views. Host had great communication. Game room was fantastic and the beds were very comfortable.

Would we rent to you again? YES YES a thousand times yes. You are the kind of renter that every vacation rental owner wishes for. Please keep us in mind for the future so you can experience even more of what you liked. Carole
Our stay was wonderful! Enjoyed the cabin and ease of usage of the home. The boys loved the game room. The steps coming down to the cabin were very slick with the rain but ultimately somewhat unavailable with the weather. 10/10 would stay again.

We are glad that you enjoyed yourselves. We have tried to make the cabin homey so vacationers can move in and start having fun. I am glad the boys liked the game room.I will be bringing in new board games when we return so there is always something new to look forward to. We would love to have you return. You were wonderful renters
It was a beautiful cabin and the amenities listed were wonderful. The fireplace was not operational and the owners did their best to have someone come fix it as soon as possible but because we were there for only a weekend it wasn’t able to be fixed. Other than that the area and the home was top notch. We had a wonderful weekend with our family in a beautiful location!

OOPS! I should have answered your review sooner than this. In our defense, we are constantly trying to upgrade the cabin so return renters have something new to look forward to. New additions include the monster sized ceiling fan in the great room which does a great job for the very few hot days we have. (4000 feet of elevation helps too!) We will be adding more games to the game room. Please consider a return trip to Alpine Log Cabin to enjoy our new amenities! Carole
Alpine Log Cabin was a perfect fit for our family. A rustic, beautiful cabin close to hiking and only about 20 minutes from Appalachian State University. The owners did a fabulous job with attention to detail giving you all the information and more in their booklets. Downstairs game room was a big hit for my big kids, but would be for kids of all ages!

Hi Sherri, Thank you for your wonderful review. We appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to do that. We are glad you found Alpine Log Cabin to be comfortable, convenient to App. State, and with all the information you needed for a relaxing stay. We also appreciate you taking the extra effort to keep the cabin clean. We would love to have you return in the future. PS we are looking for the lost trinket. Could you give us a more specific description? If so please let us know through VRBO. Thanks. Carole
Very clean and well decorated. Spectacular views. Well appointed kitchen - everything you need to cook a meal. Would definitely stay here again!

Hello Kim,
It has been one of my missions to make sure we could provide our renters with any ingredient that they needed to cook a meal but forgot to pack. I know it is difficult to think of all the little things that go into making a good meal. If I can help with that, I feel I have made their stay just a bit easier. I am glad I could do that for you. Thank you for the great review. We hope you will be able to return for a future stay. Carole
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is perfect for a family. The host had everything you might need. The sunrise coffee on the porch, looking out at the mountain view was wonderful.Excellent place to relax and enjoy.

With the busy life we all lead, "relax and enjoy" are vital to our physical and mental resilience. We are glad that you found it in our cabin. If stress gets to be overwhelming again, keep us in mind! Thanks for the great review!!! Forrest and Carole
This cabin was lovingly decorated. We were impressed that there were labels everywhere telling us which switches did what, where to find things and a book explaining how to make things work. The kitchen had everything imaginable from a waffle maker to a cappuccino maker. The view of the mountains was great too.

We appreciate that you liked Alpine Log Cabin enough to take the time to leave a review. We try to make renters feel at home so they can start to enjoy themselves immediately which is why we made all the light switch labels. You were wonderful renters.

Beautiful cabin nestled in quiet mountain neighborhood with gorgeous views. Fully loaded with amenities and extras. Hosts are great to work with. Cabin has amazing paintings to enhance the experience. Will certainly recommend to others and stay again if in the area.

We are thrilled that you loved our cabin as much as we do. I am glad you liked my paintings as well--I sure had fun painting them. I loved that I could make them fit the surrounding area. It gave our renters something to look forward to when touring the area. I have never had anybody fold their used sheets before!!! My cleaning crew wasn't sure whether they had been used. What a wonderful surprise for us as well! We would love to have you return in the future--you were fantastic renters. Carole and Forrest
"Great stay" says it all!! We are glad you were pleased what Alpine Log Cabin offers its guests. You were great renters (our housecleaners were pleased as punch). We would love to have you return in the future. We hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Carole
My wife and I took our 2 oldest grandchildren for a weekend trip. We loved this house! It was extremely well stocked with just about everything you could think of! We would definitely recommend this house for anyone viewing the Boone, Banner Elk, Seven Devils area.

Decorating is a love of mine and making Alpine Log Cabin look and feel homey is always my goal. We want our renters to enjoy every minute of their stay and would consider a return trip in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Carole and Forrest Byron, Owners - Alpine Log Cabin
Forrest and I have always been part of the entertainment and vacation industry. Before buying Alpine Log Cabin we owned and operated a Yogi Bear's Camp Resort providing family fun for kids of all ages. Giving you that same type of vacation experience seemed a natural fit. We love our renters and strive to make sure they have the ultimate vacation experience at an affordable price. We are detail oriented which will be obvious when you come to the cabin and see all of the literature, brochures and restaurant menus we have collected to make your stay both inviting and easy.
Why they chose this property
We came up to the Boone on a vacation and absolutely fell in love with the area. There was so much to do within a 15 mile radius. We bought the cabin so we could share our love of the area with others. We looked at many cabins before buying Alpine Log Cabin. When we first arrived at the property we realized that while close to LOTS of activities, it still provided the peace and serenity that many of our renters are looking for.
What makes this property unique
We were wanting to buy a cabin that reminded us of the cabins we had built at Yogi Bear's Camp Resort. We realized that the Cabin and the surrounding area provided a variety of things to see and do. We are close to Linville Caverns, a top North Carolina pick for attractions. Tweetsie Railroad is definitely another attraction that draws people into the area. The cabin was completely modern but still had that rustic "cabiny" vibe. However, if kicking back is what you are looking for, Alpine Log Cabin has that too, You have a fully stocked recreation room, three TV'S, Netflix and amazing views without ever leaving the property. You might even see one of the deer that roam the area!
