Great place to stay with kids. There were so many activities at the house, for the entire family - we really loved the garage game room. Having 3 king sized beds was a HUGE PLUS and everyone was comfortable in their own space.
The place was just as advertised and was a wonderful mountain retreat for our family of four during our spring break trip. Lots of space and thoughtful touches to amenities, decor, and living spaces. We enjoyed the game room and just hanging around in the common areas. Great proximity to Boone, Blowing Rock, and lots of mountain hikes along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had a couple messages back and forth with the host and they were very quick to respond and answer all my questions. Overall a great experience and we would book with them again if we decide to do another mountain vacation in the future!
Great location close to Boone and Blowing Rock. Very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable and our toddler loved the extra “kids” rooms and the games in the heated garage.
We had a great time during our visit! The house is very cozy and provides a lot of entertainment for all ages. The game room provided endless fun for my neices (and surprisingly for the adults as well). The views are incredible and the layout of the living room allows for amazing views even during the cold. The beds were comfortable and we always felt well rested. The house itself is very close to the main area of Boone so you are within miles of grocery stores and things to do. I would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway.
This was our second time here and we loved every moment! The home is so comfortable, secluded, but close enough to get to all of the things we love. I can’t recommend it enough and we will be back to “our mountain house”, as the kids say. Thank you!
We loved the house and it had everything we needed for a great stay in Boone. The beds were very comfortable, and lots of nice additional touches done to make your stay feel even better. We spent a lot of time as a family in the garage/game area hanging out, playing games, and watching movies during rainy days. It's also a good location to so many activities and stores/restaurants
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy mountain retreat! The views were absolutely stunning, especially in morning. The cabin was clean, well-stocked, and had a warm, rustic charm. Perfect spot for relaxing, hiking, and reconnecting with nature. We can’t wait to come back!
This house was a perfect location for our family vacation. It was very family friendly and met the needs of all ages. Our family talked about how much we would love to stay in the same house next year!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay for Day out with Thomas at Tweetsie Railroad. The accommodations were great, the property is beautiful and the host was amazing at communication! My grandson slept in the bottom bunk and that was his first night in a BIGboy bed! This trip was priceless! Thank you so much!
The house was so very clean, cozy with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay before our kids ASU graduation.The game room was so fun. Beds comfy. Very clean and Neat. Highly recommended.

I grew up in a small town outside of Charlotte, NC. I went to college at NCSU but visited Boone a lot as I had many friends attend ASU. I currently work in the construction industry and enjoy doing projects at the house in my spare time.
