Great location, close to Boone and not far from Blowing rock. The surroundings of the cabin were beautiful. Lots of deer were around the property. It was a very quiet and relaxing area. When it was dark you could see the stars very clearly. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with things you’d need to cook with, which was great because we cook there most of our stay. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace. Unfortunately the hot tub was out of order during our stay. The customer service was great. We would stay again.

This is one of our favorite cabins! We can’t wait to go back. It is well decorated, immaculately clean, and has everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The views are beautiful! My kids loved rolling down the hills and having s’mores. We almost wish we had not planned as many activities bc we wanted to spend more time at the cabin! The hot tub was awesome for my husband and I after putting the kids to bed. 10/10 recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved staying in this cabin. It was comfortable and cozy, and just the perfect getaway in the mountains for our family. They provide everything you need for your stay and have such amazing views. Especially when the deer pass the windows in the morning. The only thing I did not like was the stiffness of the beds, but my husband does not agree with me.

Week of relaxation

We had a wonderful week at this cabin, it was as pictured, clean and had everything we needed. The location is the best part, we are close to everything but yet when you turn into Lams way it is peaceful and no traffic.

Great stay at Country Life with Valle Crucis Log Cabin Rentals

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 were here for a family wedding and the cabin was great! The ladies were most helpful at check-in with information. Located in a rural subdivision with larger lots so plenty of privacy but still close enough to everything needed. Very clean. Hot tub jets were not very powerful but it was hot and sparkling clean like it should be. Will definitely stay with them again.

Exactly What I Wanted

We stayed over the weekend and the property and cabin were perfect. Loved being in the woods and the house had everything, and more, than we could have asked. Will 100% rent this place again.

We had a great time at the Cabin - so relaxing after a day moving my daughter into Apartment in Boone. It had everything we needed, teens loved the hot tub and area to hang by themselves.

Lovin' the Country Life

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: Really enjoyed our stay at Country Life. Felt right at home. Myself, my wife, kids, and grandkids all enjoyed the cabin. It was well furnished, nicely decorated, had comfortable furniture and beds. Nice large Smart TV in the living room and another one in the loft upstairs. Hot Tub worked great. Kitchen was nicely furnished. Grill was clean and worked well. We enjoyed seeing the horses behind the house. Plenty of yard for the kids to run around (not very common with most mountain cabins). Only problem was that the ice maker in the refrigerator did not work, but they were waiting on a part to fix it. Easy to get to with no really steep roads. Location was great. Close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn., etc.
