The house and setting are beautiful. Kitchen was so well equipped and we cooked many meals in. Very comfortable beds and couches. So glad we could stay there.
We have an amazing 17 day stay at the Grandfathered Inn!
This is a very comfortable and family friendly home that is in a great location...so much to see and do! We have already booked our return for next July!

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are thrilled that you had a great time and that the property met your needs. Its our fondest hope that you will revisit, sooner rather than later.
This property is so spacious, clean, and well-stocked which makes it a home away from home. The game room and hot tub were well-appreciated amenities. The only thing some of us missed was Directv.We enjoyed the beautiful mountain views including the deer, chipmunks, and other wildlife. The location near Boone and Blowing Rock make it perfect for a mountain vacation. This property is one that will draw you back for repeated visits!
The house exceeded all expectations. It’s bigger than I expected which was a very pleasant surprise. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy when needed. It was exceptionally clean and well appointed. We had two questions during our stay and we received immediate responses. The views were stunning! We will be back for our daughter’s graduation in December and hope to stay here again.

We are so grateful for your feedback and are thrilled that you enjoyed the home and that your stay was a great one. We are so looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!
An excellent property and excellent stay, from our first inquiry through final billing through check out the day we left! An absolutely stunning cabin, right on top of the mountain, with spectacular views of Grandfather Mountain itself! And spectacular views over the mountains for sunrise and afternoon sunsets! And absolutely flawless communication and a painless process. Thanks so very much!

Thanks for the constructive feedback, we hope to have you as our guest again soon!
This house was impeccable and very well maintained. It was exactly how the house was described in the listing, plus had tons of extras. This house had tons of extras to make you feel like you are home away from home and the views are to die for. We cooked a 5 course meal one night while at the house, and had all the pots, pans, and utensils necessary to do so. Definitely will be coming back.

Family Vacation
The property was beautiful and in a very private setting. Everything was clean and in order. A few things we would classify as "negative" are as follows: 1) There wasn't a Keurig coffee maker (we brought our own); 2) there were no dishwasher cubes to do the dishes. Luckily we brought 6 pods from home, but when renting this high dollar property for 4 nights one would expect to be supplied with dishwasher cubes; 3) To only supply each room with 1 towel/washcloth was a bit disappointing; 4) It was also unclear on what to do with the linens so we stripped the beds and placed everything in the laundry room. We enjoyed the outdoor living area with the heaters and the sunsets were incredible. The pool table and hot tub were also very nice. Would we come back? Yes. Absolutely.
Beautiful property !!!! Loved the hot tub with the views !!! Everyone had their own King or Queen bed ...lots of fireplaces and enjoyed playing pool!! Close to everything ;0)

Relaxing, Stylish and Well Appointed Grandfathered Exceeds
The cabin was exactly and more than the description. We will be back. The bonus is a hiking trailhead at the bottom of the driveway and the Gamekeeper restaurant near the community entrance. We relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
This was true to description. Gorgeous property, easy for my 88 year old grandmother to enjoy without stairs, excellent doordash access, safe, beautiful. Already contemplating another booking when she returns!
Great ski weekend with friends!! House was perfect for our three families to spread out but we also enjoyed lots of time together in the spacious kitchen during meals and football! Had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. Can't wait to return on our next trip to Boone.
Great property
Windows & appliances dirty ..furniture was dusty, for the money it should have been cleaner and all of the lights should be in working order.
No remote for garage door….
Our family gathered from around the country fir the first time since covid to celebrate my sons graduation from App State. The house was an amazing venue. the space and decor along with the views made for a splendid week. Lots of stairs but the bedrooms and living spaces made it worthwhile. Highly recommend grandfathered Inn. Hope to come back!
Gorgeous house with beautiful views from nearly every room. Good location just outside both Boone and Blowing Rock, with many trails and outdoor activities near by. Very private and quiet. Just what we were looking for and I can't wait to stay here again.
Stayed 3/27-3/30. Wonderful house, large enough for six adults and three children 1, 5 and 7. Everything was modern, large kitchen and dining room to allow everyone to eat together. Great views from several rooms. lots of fireplaces and tvs. Would recommend for a large group. Nice and comfortable.
Great house for a large family. House is beautiful as well as the scenery!
