Nice Cabin
Cabin was just as described. Very clean and cozy. Plenty of firewood for the inside fireplace and outside firepit. Had a small issue with heat due to the out of the ordinary frigid temperatures NC was having. One call to the management company and someone was out there very quickly to assess and repair. Mountainous road remained clear during the mini blizzard that occurred during our stay. All and all, a wonderful experience.

Exceeded Expectations
Cabin was very cozy and comfortable. Kitchen had everything necessary. Cabin was pet friendly and we brought our two dogs. Not a lot of yard space for the dogs but there is a great trail right behind the cabin to walk them. There is also some good greenspace a short walk away for dogs. There are a few cabins relatively close, so if you bring dogs plan on using a leash unless they are very good with recall. We lucked out and the nearby cabins were vacant. Cabin is in a great location and roads going to it were in great shape.

The draw to the property was the hot tub, layout and fireplace. We appreciated the firewood being part of the unit and not charged as an extra fee. Great location to everything and very quiet at night. Thank you.

Beautiful and relaxing
As mentioned in other reviews there are some small handyman thinhs that could be/should be done, but my party of four had a fantastic time. The home is comfortable and convenient to Grandfather's Mountain. Stores and restaurants are close. I did have an easier time finding the place by looking at the shed from the pictures than trying to find the street number. The only thing I would change would be putting big log seats around the fire pit instead of the cinderblock bench so visitors can easily rearange. All in all a fantastic spot!

Beautiful location and a great place to stay
We had a wonderful visit and are overall happy with our stay. The hot tub was clean and we really enjoyed using it. The neighborhood is beautiful and fun to walk. We saw deer every day, in fact the front yard had about 20 of them late one night. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The coffee maker is a basic one, so bring ground coffee. There were filters in the cabinet, which is a plus. The kids loved playing foosball upstairs and rocking on the front porch swing. As the other reviews noted, the heat did feel a little tricky to regulate. We brought our own thermostat controlled portable heater just in case. The driveway is easy to navigate, and relatively flat with plenty of room. You do share the driveway with neighboring cabin, but has separate parking areas. If you are staying a while, I would recommend bringing a few extra dishwasher pods and laundry pods. It was nice being able to do our laundry often. We also had the best meals at The Local and Melanie's Food Fantasy, both located downtown Boone.

Fair weather cabin
Nice size cabin for a family of four. Well stocked kitchen, good location to bounce between Boone, Blowing Rock, skiing and grandfather mountain. Hot tub was great. Quiet area. Similar feedback to other reviews, inability to control the temperature was frustrating on a cold weekend. Upstairs nice and warm downstairs cold. No heat in master bath. Still burnt out lightbulbs everywhere, and fixing or replacing a barely functional rocking chair (bottom falling out)in the living room could go a long way. If temp control issues were fixed I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cabin. But I would think twice about renting again in January. Even a robust fire could not heat up the downstairs. Also bring your own kindling, newspaper and lighter/matches! If I knew I would have brought an electro blanket and a little portable heater for the downstairs bathroom. We all ended up using the upstairs one because it was just unbearable at times:( I would also recommend the bedding needs refreshed. All seemed dirty/ yellowed from age…and extra comforters were just thrown on the floor of the closets. Should be washed and placed in dust covers. Minor things but all would make a difference in a three vs four or five star review.

Great cabin as long as the outside temp is above 25 degrees
We loved the cabin and enjoyed spending Christmas there - very clean, well-stocked kitchen, new appliances, plenty of towels and comforters, and a good amount of firewood, which we needed! However, the main floor bathroom did not have any heat, so it was literally freezing in there - ice in the shower and you see your breath. It was very cold while we were there, and the heat on the main floor couldn't warm the rooms until it got above 25. It was unusually cold, so this is somewhat understandable. The upstairs loft was very warm, though. The thermostats are confusing and don't really seem to control anything. Hot tub was great! If it's going to be cold while you are there, just be sure to bring lots of layers and thermals.

Great location.
This is a great property for easy access to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn, etc., and sits in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the setting, deck space, and roominess of the house. Having the hot tub waiting after some days on local trails was really welcome. There are a few things that would have improved the experience: replacing burnt out light bulbs, finishing repair on wall near door to deck.

Spring Vacation
Just want to start by saying, this cabin was absolutely beautiful. It felt like home to is. We slept in a couple times and just relaxed. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings and having coffee and listening to the sounds of nature. The fireplace was nice to have burning in the evening. Relaxing and reading a good book. I would definitely come back and stay at this cabin.
