Excellent!

This place was absolutely spotless! The beds are super comfortable and it’s nice and cozy. The location is fantastic, 5 min to Appalachian Ski and not far from Boone. We really enjoyed it! Highly recommended!

Great Ski Vacation

Ski Trip

We changed reservations from a hotel in Boone to this condo at the last minute as weather forecasts called for 8"+ of snow. As a side note, the forecasts were not accurate. Surprise, surprise! However, we were glad that we changed as the location to Appalachian Ski Mountain is excellent. Only about a 1-2 minute drive. The condo was clean. Directions for use of the fireplace, TV, internet, kitchen and check out were clear. The view from the deck was great. Additionally, we were thankful to have the extra room versus a hotel room before and after a day of skiing. I would absolutely recommend this condo for anyone that wanted an alternative to a hotel or anyone with a family of 2-4 that wanted a peaceful location for skiing, hiking, visiting Blowing Rock/Boone, etc.

worth the price

Overall, a good experience, although there were also a few negatives. The place was accurately advertised, clean and affordable. We came for a ski weekend, and this place is very convenient for Appalachian Ski mountain. Although it was only 0.3 miles by road to the parking lot and lodge, it is NOT an easy or safe walk and I would recommend driving. We walked it one day when it snowed and I wasn't overly confident of my van's ability to get up the very steep and curvy driveway, but the road was narrow, windy and did not have a shoulder or good place to walk next to the road. One of my favorite things was the view out the back of the house -- it was stunning, especially the morning sunrise. If the weather was warmer, I would have loved to sit out there more. A few of the drawbacks: 1) the internet was marginal at best. I could pick up the signal on a tablet, but my phone only picked up the internet signal about 25% of the time, and the cell coverage was also poor. 2) The house is well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/silverware, but lacks any extra cooking supplies beyond salt and pepper. Be sure to bring EVERYTHING you needs including oil, sugar, spices, condiments, etc. Also, bring paper products. There was plenty of toilet paper, but there were no paper towels or napkins, so we ended up having to use coffee filters in a pinch. 3) The house is a duplex (this is the upper unit), so be prepared that you will hear your neighbors some, even if they aren't particularly loud. It is not overly disruptive, but startled me a handful of times. 4) the fireplace didn't work. I'm sure this is fixable, but after a bunch of failed tries, I decided it wasn't worth the effort. 5) the driveway is crazy steep, so if there is snow or ice, you would probably need 4 wheel drive. We lucked out, but it made me nervous. Overall, I would recommend this place and the cost was appropriate for what you get.

Great location for skiiing

Property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Close to the ski resort so we could come and go as we pleased without a long drive. Wifi and cell coverage a little spotty, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Steep hill to enter, so be prepared. Great place overall!
