This property was in a great location!! Close to plenty of activities, but a nice and quiet family space!! We loved all the space it offered and appreciated being able to just show up with clothes and enjoy (kitchen supplies, linens and toiletries provided)! The hot tub was a nice way to relax as well!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
Overall we had a great stay and the house was just what we needed. The house is located across the street from Tweetsie and only takes seconds to get there. The house is also located close to Blowing Rock and Boone and you can get to either in a matter of minutes which was nice. A few days after our stay we received a request to pay for damage to the property. They told us all of the pillow shams in the bunk room were physically ripped at the seams. For us this was an unfortunate and disappointing ending to a great stay, because two of the beds in that room were never used or physically touched by anyone in our family.
