First off the house is amazing, and George was responsive and helpful via text. The house is beautiful and the location deserves more stars that you can give it. That said the listing is misleading in several regards. The addresses on the listing aren’t the real address, there’s no mention of how crazy the driveway is, there’s no mention of the fact you can’t drink the water, and there’s no pool table despite the photo. I didn’t read the reviews, b/c the rating was a 4.8, so I wasn’t aware until after our booking that I needed 4WD. One person in our party had 4WD luckily bc we all got stuck and had to be towed. I’ve lived in Boone for 5 years, this isn’t inexperience of mountain roads, the driveway is steep, not steeper than normal for the area, but poorly maintained. Gravel has washed off the road and it’s basically a steep mud run with a should that falls off into a pasture and creek. If you’re an anxious person, find another house.
The house is super nice, but lots of things were broken, the back porch door handle was completely broken off, two knobs in the stove were broken, the front door was broken, one of the faucets in the kitchen, and one of the shower faucets were broken.
The hot tub was warm but the water had a funky smell and was yellowish, so despite our excitement to use it, no one did.
The listing shows a pool table/ air hockey, that doesn’t exist.
Great place to get away to, just be warned that it will be hard to access, and you can’t drink the water. Otherwise you’ll love the setting, the deer, and the gorgeous home! Despite our difficulties we would probably stay here again!
