The view was gorgeous I could have sat on that porch drinking my coffee all day long. The house was everything that was advertised we love the game room first time most of our family had ever gotten to play pool so that was a lot of fun. Our family enjoyed the hot tub morning afternoon and night thank you for a wonderful experience.
Beautiful property, breathtaking views, and the listing was accurate. Banner Elk is close with the necessities and some good restaurants. Stone Walls was our favorite, food was amazing. The host was very responsive to our questions and helpful. Overall great stay and we’d definitely book again.
Home had breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain. It was cozy and provided closeness yet big enough we werent trampling on one another. The kitchen was fully stocked - making it ideal to cook our meals in. Our family started a new Christmas tradition this year and are looking forward to staying with you next year.
We had a great time. We pick a place yearly before school starts and this year was grandfather lookout. Love the house and the area, and loved that the driveway was paved all the way to the house, it made it a lot easier to get to.
A very well deserved 5 star location. Lots of room to spread out and come together. A wonderful location to visit with a wonderful view of mountains that were breathtaking.
Property fit our needs to a tee! Would highly recommend for large family!

We stayed with a few friends and all had an amazing time at this cabin. We were each able to enjoy each other's company and also have our own separate floors for bedrooms and bathrooms.

We had a wonderful gathering of family for our daughter’s graduation. This property is great. Beautiful views, comfortable spaces for everyone, well stocked kitchen. It was wonderful! Highly recommend. Owners were responsive and excellent to work with.
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. It comfortably slept all of us: 6 adults, 3 children and a 1 year old. The views were amazing of Grandfather’s Mountain.

Fabulous house to spend a little vacation time in. Not sure how you get people to ever leave. Very lovely place and it was a great place to celebrate my son’s graduation from App State in nearby Boone.

99.99% Best House We've Ever Stayed
Besides a few minor quirks about the house (one thermostat, broken sink & garbage disposal, dirty master shower) this house was perfect for what we needed to enjoy a short vacation in the high country.
The home was spacious and lovely. We especially enjoyed the covered deck with comfortable furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the light switches were conveniently labeled. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, but did not provide staples such as sugar. No laundry soap, softener, or tissues were provided and these would have been appreciated.
