8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
We really enjoyed our stay overall and would definitely recommend this home, especially for its fantastic location. It was peaceful, convenient, and a great home base for exploring the area.The main area that could use improvement is the cleanliness. We noticed cobwebs on the ceiling in the downstairs bedroom, the outdoor deck and furniture hadn’t been cleaned in some time, and the coffee maker needed a thorough cleaning before use. These weren’t dealbreakers for us, but addressing them would make the experience even better.Overall, we had a great weekend and would happily stay here again.

Newer build, very clean and fresh. I love the sound of the Tweetie Railroad train hirn hooting the valleys and hollars from time time. That said, I have a BA 4x4 but there's no way I would stay here with snow on the ground but any other time, it's hard to beat for location and amenities.

This was a great place to stay for our girls hiking trip. Was very central to everything we wanted to experience for the weekend between both Blowing Rock and Boone.
