Such a beautiful house and property. The pool was wonderful. We heated it and spent most of our time outside enjoying the mountain air. The communication with the host was very good and the checkout process was very cleared to us. Would love to stay again.

My large family and I go on vacation every summer, and this is the first house where we’ve all felt like we had enough space to enjoy. The outside space is amazing. There are lots of different sitting areas and large bedrooms that made us all feel very comfortable. we had a slight issue at check-in with the house being clean, but the owner was extremely communicative and had the cleaners back to fix the problem within an hour. A great location between Boone and blowing rock. Great trails that lead to a swimming hole in the neighborhood. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental and we hope to be back.

Can’t begin to articulate how incredible our stay was at Ridgeview Manor. The house is somehow even more stunning in person. Our trip included 8 adults and 9 of our kids and we never ran out of space. Stunning views, super comfy beds, very homey and safe. Our only regret was not booking more nights Should also note how personable/communicative James is,I left behind a very sentimental watch after our stay and the owner maintenance worked together to locate it and help me get it back.
