Reviews
Michelle
Travelled with a group of girlfriends in our 30s for a long weekend getaway. The view from the deck is absolutely out of this world! Thoroughly enjoyed waking up to it every morning. The hot tub was also a great touch after hiking. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, appliances, pots and pans, and wine glasses (much needed). The space is perfect. Plenty of room for us in the common area to relax in the evening. All in all we absolutely LOVED our stay. Great location for skiing, hiking, relaxing. The location is directly between Boone and Blowing Rock, so within 20 minutes to restaurants and downtown. Definitely a bit of an adventurous drive to the top where the house is located (but very doable), however I could see how this could be challenging in snow, heavy rain, or fog. All in all, would 100% recommend for a stay. Thanks for having us!
