Awesome stay!

We enjoyed our stay so much!! Loved the location it was close to everything! We really loved the stream in the back and the hot tub was a huge plus after being at the ski resorts all day! The only advise to the owner I would give is the house needs more towels for guest with the hot tub we had to keep washing towels and eventually bought a few so we can have enough but honestly that was very minor for our amazing trip!! We will definitely be back

Perfect for Hawksnest plans

This was a fantastic property for our family of five, having snowtubing plans at Hawksnest. We enjoyed having access to the creek behind the house, several family-friendly board games in the living room, the use of kitchen appliances and tools, a washer and dryer, and the very comfortable beds. It was just the right space for us to enjoy with close access to great restaurants in Banner Elk. We are looking forward to hopefully staying again!

Relaxing Getaway

My husband, two teenagers, and I really enjoyed this beautiful, clean, perfectly located home just a few minutes from Hawksnest, where we went snow tubing. The setting is gorgeous with mountain views and a creek running through the backyard. Hot tub was wonderful! Wish we could have stayed longer...

Christmas by the Creek

The sound of the water running in the creek on the back side of the house was beautiful to see and hear. We enjoyed our stay here. However, if you book during the cold months, I would recommend having chains or a four wheel drive vehicle, or you may get stuck in the cabin.

Highly Recommend this property

This property was great for a family with school age children. We loved the creek behind the home. The location is very central and nice that it’s not all the way up the mountain. The property was clean and check-in was easy. It is not the most updated property in the bathrooms/kitchen, but was fine for what is needed. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Thank you Sarah. I am headed up tomorrow to spend the next 10 days working on the property. My son departed for his freshman year of college last month and I spent the summer getting prepared for that. Now it's time to do some property work. I'm going to paint the master bedroom and bathroom, replace all the towels, mulch and wash some windows. My husband and I are looking at updating the kitchen this fall with a butcher block counter and the bathrooms with new light fixtures. If you join us again, I think you will be pleased with the updates. Speaking of the creek, my son spent many years splashing around in that creek. It is just awesome for the little kids and of course the hot tub overlooking the stream for the adults. Thanks for your feedback.

Minutes to everything!

The house is wonderful. Open the door to the back porch and sounds of the creek & waterfalls fill the air. We were just about equal distances from Boone & Banner Elk with an easy drive in either direction. Host communication was great! Definitely plan returning to this oasis.

New Year’s visit

We were very impressed with how clean and prepared the home was. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, plenty of space for our family of 6. The hot tub was clean and the creek in the back was beautiful. The home is in a neighborhood, but it maintains its privacy. The home is ideally located with easy travel into Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain, and anything else you’d want to do in the area. Can’t wait to stay again.

Absolutely beautiful!

We're from Florida and my 5 yo daughter had been asking to see snow for years. This place was beautiful, waking up to sit on the back porch, while listening to the falls in the back yard, with a blanket and coffee in hand, while my daughter still slept was my favorite part. The neighborhood was quite, the place was very clean and we had a wonderful visit. We went to Hawksnest Snow Tubing & Zipline just up the mountain, checked out Sugar Mountain, drove to downtown Boone... the whole visit did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you so much for an amazing visit!
