We had a group of long-time friends and family and the house was the perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, there was comfortable space for everyone, and the views were great.
The views were amazing and the location was peaceful but close to everything. The host was very responsive to any of our needs. We look forward to our next stay with this same host!
We loved the house. It was as advertised. Lots of space for people to be all together or split up and do their own things. We had a shower head that sprung a leak and it was fixed promptly. Communication with property owners was quick and responsive.
We loved staying here! It was the most well stocked home we have stayed in. The owners have put thought into the tiny details with things you sometimes forget to bring. Parking is tricky but the owners can give advice on parking. We had 7 cars parked at one time. Use the turnaround and back up the last part of the driveway. That makes it a lot better for when you go to leave.
It was a brief stay, but a perfect bonding weekend for our family. Busy lives and young kids make it tough to stay connected. This little weekend retreat was the ticket! Plenty to do even in adverse weather and plenty of space to do it in! Thanks for it all!
We were greeted by deer upon our arrival. Home was comfortable and was in a great location. Stayed here while visiting our son at App. Hot tub, pool table and fusbol table were added bonuses. Dog friendly. Would recommend.
Spectacular 'Cabin', but more of a new build. Great Host. Everything clean and working. Very safe location convenient to Blowing Rock, Boone and Grandfather.
Highly recommend@
As is written in the property description, the driveway up to the property is very steep, curves, and is long. We were in a pickup truck and parking so that we could get back out was difficult- you would not want to back down the driveway!
The upper level master bedroom needs a new mattress. The king bed on the main level was much more comfortable. There were ants in the master bath.
Kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you need to cook and serve meals.
The neighborhood is quiet and the deck is nice.
Great accommodations for two couples. Home was spacious and inviting. Covered decks were wonderful. Parking and driveway were somewhat of a challenge for larger vehicles.
This was the more relaxing VRBO property we have stayed at. It is in a great location, close to stores, restaurants, wineries but overall private, being at the end of an access road. We loved the layout and I brushed up on my game of pool. Very enjoyable was the large deck on the second floor. Great for relaxing, sipping on coffee or enjoying a great wine.
Listing is deceptive about the # of cars that can be parked w/o turn-around problems. Spent way to much time "arranging" cars to avoid backing down the steep driveway. Wintertime there must be horrible to negotiate.
Great place to stay near Boone within 30 min drive of Sugar Mountain Resort! Make sure to try Pedalin Pig BBQ just down the road. Hope we can come back soon!
The house was very spacious with a cozy feel. The location is excellent as it is centrally located between Boone and Blowing Rock. I’d definitely recommend staying here!
Had a great time. It snowed the night we arrived and the yard was great for sledding. If you come up during ice or snow, be prepared for icy roads as the last 5 miles are interesting. Owner was great to work with.
Great location and nice house. Perfect for family with a lot of space for spreading out. Neighbor's dogs did bark all day and all night. Not a problem for me since I wear ear plugs at night but just be aware. Other than that, it was a great stay.
This was our first travel opportunity with our 5 month old and it was the perfect getaway. We enjoyed the fantastic views and the location was good to travel to either Boone or Blowing Rock.
This property was perfect for our family! We had plenty of accomodations for everyone (age 3 months -55y/o). Daily hikes and activities all within a short drive away! Great kitchen for large family meals, Fire pit w S'mores a real family treat. Billiards table and Darts provided rainy day competition! All the comforts of home! Thank you!
Very nice place and located close enough to all the ski slopes to say central located.
Ditto the driveway as previous reviews. We had 3 vehicles was a little daily shuffle but manageable. The trash situation wasn’t as clear as I would have liked so here it is...there is no garbage service you have to take your trash to local transfer station. 15-20 minutes there and 15-20 minutes back. No drop off on Tuesday, the day we left but found a dumpster at Ingles! Sorry if we weren’t supposed to pitch our garage. Few lights out in master bath but hopefully owners get that fixed up. Pool sticks needed tips messaged owner got em asap. Great long weekend recommend location and this cabin.
House was clean, wifi worked perfect, driveway was a little tight but we had room to get our trucks turned around. Great place for a vacation and would come back again!

We have looked for many years for the perfect cabin to spend time with our family and to share with other families! You here people talk about location, location, location- well this IS the location to be in! We hope you enjoy our Sweet Escape as much as we do.

We love the rustic log cabin vibe! We have added touches to make it a nice home away from home! We love sitting on the porch with our morning coffee watching the gorgeous views! This cabin feels like it is miles for anywhere - yet you can be in downtown Boone in less than 10 minutes!
