We had a wonderful time here. The house is your own private oasis and the view was spectacular. It was easy to get to the local hot spots and enjoy the quaint towns. Perfect place for a family gathering or just to get away for a long weekend and we could bring our fur baby with us.

Close to sugar/beech mountain

This house was a great place to stay after a long day on the slopes. It was clean and the hot tub was an added bonus. The driveway was a little icy when we were there but definitely a great place to stay!

Beautiful house, view and amenities.

My wife and I annually visit the NC mountains in September, usually in the Brevard/Hendersonville area. This year we decided to try the Boone/Blowing Rock area. Perfect location, excellent accommodations, and responsive host.

The house was great! Everything was comfortable and clean. The utensils are not well stocked for a family or larger parties and I would have liked to have more cleaning products as we did cook every meal there. The views are beautiful and listening to the cows while having our morning coffee was a treat!

Amazing and beautiful place!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. For sure one of the most amazing views we have ever gotten in a mountain home. The owners were excellent about responding to our needs and questions and the home was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. We hope to be able to return one day.

Home was very clean, hot tub was perfect for the fall temps that had dropped while we were there, view is awesome. Did not realize we were really close to Tennessee and made a day trip to Tn while we were there. Host replies back really quickly

Best short term rental I’ve rented

This was such a great experience. The hot tub was amazing! I love that our room had hot tub off the deck. Super spacious and great choice of board games. Jay was an amazing host and I booked the wrong dates by accident and he was super responsive and accommodating and changed the dates. Will book again sometime this year.

The view of the cows on the meadow in the distance is awesome. The house was super clean, and "view" and "clean" top my list. It's a "real house" - the HVAC systems for the bedroom and upper floors work independently - which means no super hot upstairs versus cold downstairs. You can hear people walking on the top floor from the bedrooms, though. Caution: part of the driveway is gravel and in "meh" condition. The final paved portion up to the house is paved but very steep, and getting groceries to the upper level left us winded. Except when unpacking, I left the car towards the bottom of the final approach to the house - easier to turn around there. The firepit area outside the garage/game room is partially fenced but a pooch can sneak out. There are bunnies and deer that our old girl contemplated chasing.

Thanks for the wonderful review, Teri! I’m glad you enjoyed the views, cleanliness, and the independent HVAC. I’ll definitely look into improving our chalet’s access and outdoor safety so future guests (and their pups) have an even smoother stay.

Amazing View

The view from the home is amazing!! Common are was perfect for our stay as well as the porch on both levels. While we had a wonderful time during our stay, there were a few things that could have been addressed prior to our arrival. The sheets on 2 of the beds were stains, there werent enough towels to accommodate 6 guests, dishes didnt seem like they were cleaned as they felt greaay when we first used them, the air filter for the upstairs area was filthy, the game room had more things for kids versus adults as there were wires hanging in the doorway as you went into the room. The location was ideal as we were about 30 minutes from everything. The sheets on t other beds were

We really enjoyed our stay at this secluded house - rocking on the decks, staring at the mountain, and watching the wildlife across the valley is so peaceful and relaxing - you would never know it's so convenient to shopping and dining. The furniture and beds are very comfortable, and it was super convenient having a washer and dryer. Loved having a TV in every bedroom! The Wi-Fi and central heat/AC are great. Communication with the host was excellent! Would stay here again.
