Reviews
Carol
It was exactly what me and my family were looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved that it was close to downtown Boone. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for us all. I was amazed at how much the kitchen had as far as dishes, pots, pans, coffee cups, glasses and cups. We prepared all our meals there, so it was nice having all that we needed. I would recommend this cabin 1000%.
