Wonderful
We had a great stay at Gnome Away from Home. The cabin is beautiful and has all the amenities you need. The only disappointment was that the hiking trails in Powder Horn were closed during our stay and this was not communicated with us. But that house is perfect for a mountain getaway. We will definitely be back.

Gnome away from home
We had a great time staying at the gnome away from home! The house was exactly as described in the property listing. We stayed for an extended weekend (4 nights). We visited Boone, Blowing Rock, we walked on multiple trails and even visited Elk Knob and New River State Parks. Our favorite outing was to Cone Manor and the trail around bass lake. Our time around the cabin was wonderful. It was a little cool out but we used the outdoor heater and enjoyed coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings on the deck! The neighborhood was very quiet and had additional trails. Definitely a trip to remember and something I would gladly do again!

Beautiful, Well-Equipped Cabin with some temp control challenges
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great 2-night stay at Gnome Away from Home during our kids' spring break. The cabin is lovely, clean, well-stocked and equipped. There were games to play, TVs to watch, deck and woods to explore. The only semi-negative comment I might mention is that with the fluctuating temperature of springtime and only one thermostat for the whole cabin, it was very difficult to get the basement floor warm enough for our kids to sleep down there without making the two upstairs floors swelteringly hot. For future guests, or if we ever stayed there again, I would recommend taking a space heater for the room in the basement if that is allowed. Also the wording of the contract made it difficult for me to find the door code when we got there. It was in there, but it was sort of hidden in the way it was written, so I stood on the front porch for 15 minutes searching for it before we finally figured it out.
