Perfect spot

The location was perfect for our stay. Only 10 minutes from Boone and 20 minute easy drives to App Ski Mtn and Hawks Nest for tubing. The house had everything we needed and is extremely comfortable. It was very cozy during the snowfall.

Wonderful stay - lovely host!

We had a wonderful time staying at Billy's home near Boone, NC and felt right at home as soon as we arrived. We stayed for a quick ski weekend with our family and found it to be a perfectly central location to access all of the places that we love. It was only 20 minutes to Sugar Mountain which allowed us to easily take our kids back and forth. They loved the flat yard to play and Billy made sure we were comfortable and knew where everything was. We will definitely come back in the future!

Nice stay

The house was ok, not the cleanest. Dish towels hanging on stove very visibly dirty like used and not washed as well as dish mat with food remnants on it. Garbage can dirty inside and when we moved it from the wall very dirty behind it. Just needs a good cleaning in my opinion.

Charming house in the mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vilas. The house comfortably suited the two of us along with family and friends that visited. We especially liked the well stocked the kitchen. We cooked many meals and enjoyed in the spacious dining area and outside deck. We loved that the house was centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit. Mr. Holcombe came on weekends to tend to the very spacious yard. The surrounding deck with a gas fire pit was great for entertaining our friends and making s’mores. Garage is messy and dirty although laundry space worked well for us. Housekeeping did not do a good job either but we cleaned up and made do. All in all we were very comfortable and would highly recommend this rental.

Cozy, charming cabin

Twin Falls cabin was just what we were looking for. It was the most well appointed VBRO house that we have ever stayed in. There were a lot of staples that we didn’t have to go out and buy. The side yard was great for playing fetch with our dog, Kirby and playing croquet. My son and his family visited for one of the weekends we were there and there was still plenty of room for all. Thank you to William and Amy for for providing such a great place for us to stay after exploring the beautiful North Carolina mountain area.

Needs attention!

We were in the area to look at wedding venues. The owners a super nice. Let us check in early & on Sunday, we left our teardrop in the drive until the appointments were done. The location is convenient & the house could be wonderful. We washed all blankets as dog hair was all over them. Upstairs is hot as there is a window unit in one room but no air in the bathroom or the 3rd bedroom. Lots of exterior rot. Yard could be great. Too much personal stuff everywhere & massive mess in garage. So much potential.

Great weekend trip

Such a great stay. We try to fit a lot into our trips when we come to the area and the convenience of this location allowed us to save time on the road. Centrally located for easy access to Boone, blowing rock, valle crucial and banner elk. Easy to find, easy to access. Mountain vibes without being too remote. A nice yard space which is more rare with mountain accommodations. Neighborhood is right across the street from a fun par 3 course. House is nicer than shown in the pictures. Clean & well appointed saving trips to the store to purchase paper products etc. (we have two toddlers- trips to the store are a daunting task). A miracle for post covid travel where our other trips have been less and less convenient due to removal of amenities. Easily and comfortably accommodated two grandparents, two parents, two toddlers and two small dogs. Will come back for our next stay if available. Owners are super helpful, accommodating and attentive.
