Was an amazing place to stay I would stay again if I ever want to visit there again

We spent 3 nights at the house and everything was great. The home was clean, the kitchen well stocked, and there were plenty of towels. The hot tub was wonderful and the beds very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet but the house is not secluded, as it is surrounded by many homes and lots of trees. There was plenty of room for everyone in our group. There wasn't any snow so we didn't have icy roads to deal with at all. We were about 25 minutes from Blowing Rock and about 20 to Banner Elk. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved this cabin for our weekend getaway! What a great location. Whether you go in the winter or summer. We have gone to the mountains a lot of the last couple of years and this location was perfect for us! The cabin was very well kept and we enjoyed staying there!

Great location for everything we wanted to do. Amenities were great especially hot tub. Christmas decorations were a great bonus especially the tree. Would stay again!

Great location between Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing Rock! Also close to Grandfather Mountain and Blue Ridge Parkway! Sleeps comfortable 3 or 4 people with 2 Bathrooms! Kitchen was well stocked with basic things you might need! Home is located in a subdivision, so there are neighbors close by, but it was quiet and we used the Hot Tub every evening! I would stay there again!

Absolutely adorable cabin and one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. We will definitely stay here again.

Great property! Cozy cabin with plenty of sleeping space for our family of five. Perfect location near several attractions. Kids loved the hot tub and fire pit. There was even a little trail and creek right on site which we enjoyed as well. Kitchen was equipped with all we needed. Easy to communicate with property manager. Highly recommend!

Mills Ridge is a perfect location, 15 Min from Banner Elk and Boone, about 20 min to Blowing Rock. The neighborhood is an old ski resort With tennis courts, pool and private hiking trails. Also a little hidden swimming hole in the creek that runs along the front of the neighborhood. The full time residents will show you where it is. Ingress and egress are very easy, no steep hills so winter time is not an issue. Parking is more than what I expected. You can get three full size cars into parking area. If you need more room for a trailer there is overflow parking about three properties away. Exiting the neighborhood is a little tricky due to the proximity to a blind curve on hwy105. Be careful and quick getting out some cars are driving really fast around that turn. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Beautiful new deck with working grill and hot tub. Activities we did, Go-Karts 10 min away, Mtn biking Beech Mtn 30 min, There is also a really neat dual track race course behind Leas McRae college. Only locals know this one also. Grandfather Mtn 10 min (plan a whole day for this) Hiking everywhere, Off road motorcycle riding Brown Mtn. 1 hour. White water rafting (wahoos) 1 hour. Zip lining (Hawks Nest) 15 min. Everyday a new adventure! My kids had to wear a different type of helmet and protective gear almost everyday we were there. A true adventure vacation! We will be back!!

This cabin/cottage had everything three women needed for a perfect girls trip - safe, quiet, clean, privacy, full kitchen, secluded little neighborhood and amazing views and shopping seconds away. I will book this again for a two-couples getaway next time. Fantastic location.

We had a great time at the Grandfather’s Gem Getaway. The location was excellent and there is so much to do in the area. We will absolutely be back soon.

Loved the house and neighborhood. Great location. Kitchen well stocked. Very cute nook for little kids upstairs that our kids loved. Enjoyed the hot tub, neighborhood pool, walking in the neighborhood and hiking on the old ski resort trail. Would definitely book this place again and have already recommended it to friends.
