This is a beautiful home. The kitchen is well stocked, ample starter supplies are provided. The beds are comfortable and owners provide extra pillow /blankets in the closets. The neighborhood is beautifully landscaped and roads are maintained and well marked. We would book this house again.

Great home to accommodate multiple families and sleeping arrangements. Really enjoyed the ability for each adult couple to have their own room while kids could bunk and enjoy separate quarters. The common space was large enough to accommodate everyone. Awesome time.

Pictures are accurate. Plenty of space to spread out. Larger living room area with plenty of seating for everyone. Kitchen has all the cookware and dishes you will need. Only complaint is there was low water pressure everywhere. Would recommend this property for large, multi-generational gatherings. We were a group of 11. 3 couples and kids liked the bunkbeds!

This was a great house for our crew of 10! The house and community were very convenient to everything we were interested in doing (Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Elizabethton, TN). We will definitely look to stay here again.

This spacious home was just what we were looking for in a family vacation for our group of 11! We enjoyed using the hot tub, indoor and outdoor pools and hiking the short trail loop across the street. The home is in a convenient location to all the attractions we wanted to visit during the week. We would definitely come here again!

Gorgeous home, all of the amenities you could want, the hot-tub we enjoyed each evening and the property grounds were stunning! Hiked around the neighborhood and its is a short drive to Grandfather Mountain . The Grandfather Mountain winery is right down the road from the home….8 min drive. Incredible wine, cider and live music all on the water!!! We had a blast and will be back!!

Perfect house layout, kitchen supplies, plenty of TVs, private hot tub. Large bedrooms and space to spread out for a family gathering. Cons: maintenance dept doesn’t have special light bulbs on hand when replacements are required, housekeeping needs to dust and clear spiderwebs more thoroughly, patio fireplace by hot tub not functional, could use more dish towels, some bath towels smell sour/mildewed.
- Matt S. , Posted: 12/20/2021

We stayed at this home with 2 others families and the homes was perfect! It was clean and we had space to play games, eat meals, plenty of bathrooms & beds to sleep & room to gear up for snowboarding/skiing adventures with 12 people! The location was great for us to be able to take our pre-teens & teens to Sugar, Beech & Appalachian! The house was equipped with all the basics...pots & pans, towels etc. The only things we brought with us was extra trash bags, paper towels, paper plates and napkins. The house had all of this but with eating almost all meals there we went through a lot of paper products. The rental Company Blue Ridge was AMAZING and very responsive to any correspondence we had before our arrival. Would definitely stay at this location again!
