We loved this home and the hosts so much! The home was pristine when we arrived and truly had a stocked kitchen so that we were able to prepare full meals easily! The drive up to the house is beautiful and the roads were in great shape and clear. The location of the home was great for us to visit several towns like Boone, Banner Elk, West Jefferson, Elk River, Valle Crucis and so many more! I have to say that the entire family thought the trash compactor was so cool! Thanks for a great trip!

Awesome!

We stayed at Spring Lodge for our niece’s wedding at Wonderlust Acres. The house was great, the porch was awesome and Pat and Rich were fabulous. When I called them to let them know we had gotten in early and was wondering if we could get an early check in they did not hesitate to accommodate my request. My only complaint is…our stay was not long enough.

What a special place!

We really enjoyed our short stay in this beautiful spot. We were with good friends, and we remarked over and over about what a special, comfortable place this was. Our hosts were very attentive, and we were so sad our trip was cut short by us leaving quite early the last morning, because we missed their offered homemade chocolate croissants ❤️ Do yourself a favor, and book this incredible Spring Lodge.

We enjoyed our Christmas getaway in this lovely home! I’m a cook and a baker and they definitely had just about everything I needed to make all of my holiday meals and baked treats. I appreciated the Christmas greeting call from the owners and all of the prompt responses to our questions. The house was clean, well appointed and a very joyful space to spend time in.
