We had a wonderful time staying at Antler’s Lodge! Everything was clean and tidy, and the drive in was without issue.The home was exactly as described and is in a great location; safe, convenient, and equal distance from both Boone and Blowing Rock. We enjoyed the hot tub and ping pong table, as well as the beautiful mountain views from the back deck.Only concern was the comfort of the king bed - the mattress was unbelievably hard and too firm, but all the other beds suited our guests just fine.

We had a lovely weekend. The view was beautiful and the house space and layout was family friendly. Easy access to App State without all the traffic.

Very nice cabin. Responsive staff
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Great location, but did not live up to the listing. The photos in the listing (mostly of the outside) must be old. The plants around the property were overgrown, which obstructed the view from the back porch (comparison picture included) and made the front patio very dark and closed in. There were plants growing from the gutters and one of the shutters was damaged. The window panel on the back porch was also very dirty. Everything functioned properly, with the exception of the disposal, but the property was in great need of some TLC. We found cobwebs inside on light fixtures, window trim, etc. We found stinkbugs in every room. Some of the linens were stained/torn. The floor registers were filled with dust and hair. One of the windows was even left open upstairs. For the price, we were very disappointed.
