Thank you again, Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals! We always rent through Blue Ridge because of the fast professional service from booking until leaving. The properties are always clean and very well represented with pictures and descriptions! We have another stay coming up in October and will book more in between! Uncle John’s cabin was perfect for son’s engagement weekend (engaged at Grandfather Winery) and hosting his fiancé’s family and our family at Uncle John’s Cabin. The ping pong, foosball, pool table, air hockey, and hot tub kept everyone busy! The large covered deck, sleeping areas, and bathrooms were perfect! Thank you again!!

Cabin was very clean, cozy and well maintained. The game room was very fun and the hot tub and massage chair were great for relaxing and soothing during our stay! We also enjoyed the intense hiking trail out back. Boone is quick to get to and has lovely restaurants and stores.

If you want to feel like you are in the mountain woods this is your place. The cabin was filled with lots of things to occupy your time in you don't want to go anywhere. The cabin is almost a mile up hill so in bad weather it could be a rough drive (winter snow/ice). While here we went gem mining, visited ASU, and swam at a waterfall.

The house was clean and everything worked properly. We enjoyed the rec room in the basement, and the hot tub. Location was very convenient to activities and restaurants while still feeling relatively secluded and quiet. There were a few grassy trails to walk, off the main road around the property. We had a great time!

Uncle John’s mountain cabin was a pleasure to stay at. We have been staying at cabins in the Boone area for over 30 years And we have certain criteria when we’re looking for a cabin. We like to cook in for breakfast and dinner the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals.The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. Everything was clean which was greatly appreciate it. The gas fireplace it was so easy to just turn the switch And have a fire. Checking in and access to the cabin entrance was great. The game room was an added bonus and we used it every evening and then after some friendly competition we would hit the Jacuzzi we also appreciated The privacy the cabin provided another thing that is tops on our list. Thank you for letting us enjoy you’re beautiful cabin it was everything you said it would be an more.

The house is huge and makes you feel nestled in a lush forest. My 4 year old son didn’t want to leave the game room’s air hockey table. The hot tub and porch were mom and dads medicine.

5 day trip
We loved Uncle John’s Cabin. Our family of 4 was small for the place but we have been cooped up during COVID. Our kids share a bedroom at home so they loved having their own bedrooms and privacy. The location is awesome, located almost all to the top. We were very close to many attractions. We went spent our days exploring mast general, grandfather mountain then climbing course at high gravity adventures.
My husband and I celebrated our 17 year wedding anniversary @ Gamekeepers. It was $$$ but totally worth it. The drive there was amazing. Truely a romantic experience.
The only complaints was the comfort of the beds. They squeaked every time someone rolled over. All 3 beds need to be replaced. We overlooked that though since were well rested. No one used the extra bunk beds. The jacuzzi was just a hot tub. 3 people max.
Everything was very clean. There was a Keurig and a well stocked kitchen. Bring storage bags for left overs.
Overall the gaming area in basements did a great job keeping us busy. All in all a great trip. We would go back to Uncle John’s cabin but next time we need to stay longer. There were many things we wanted to explore but ran out of time.

Thank you! We are so glad your family enjoyed your getaway and we are glad you had a great anniversary! We are sharing your feedback about the beds with our operations team. We'd love to have you back again! - BRMR

Everything stole our hearts from the moment we walked in. All the way down to the sweet messages from our housekeeper Nicole, and the sweet little Easter Basket with candy—my kids were thrilled. The view from the porch is gorgeous. The house is very well kept, and the kitchen has far more than expected. We did not leave a single time all weekend but to go to the playground at the entrance which is so much fun. My favorite spot was by far the game room. My family, and I could’ve stayed down there in that room ALL DAY! I just LOVED the spacious basement. The walking trails are NOT for the faint hearted by no means, but fun! Oh & to the host—thank you for your speedy, and caring replies! & the extra towels for the hottub 😂

One of the cleanest cabins we have stayed in. Accurate description, good location. You really need a 4x4 in the winter to access. But we were prepared for that.

We headed from the coast for hurricane Dorian and had a beautiful stay in Boone. We rode horseback, hiked, went to Doc's Gem Mine, and had a wonderful day at Grandfather Mountain. Didn't make it to Rock Dimensions but they are some of the nicest people you will find. Definitely will start there next visit! House was perfect for the kids and dogs. Thank you so much!

Everything about our experience was TOP NOTCH. The cabin was fantastic and there were no disappointments upon arrival, we had a wonderful time! It was just as advertised, clean and a great value for our mini vacation. Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals was not only easy to work with and friendly, they went above and beyond and QUICKLY when one of our daughters left an important medication behind, retrieving it and sending it to us quickly. We will happily rent from them again!

Loved the location, and privacy. The cabin was very nice and lots to do and just a short distance from Boone it's self and Blowing Rock great place to visit. The cabin was great other than too many steps for us older people LOL, and there were a few minor things that I did let Management know needed addressed. The management company also was great and the girls are very kind and helpful

Absolutely loved our time at Uncle John's Cabin. Kids loved the air hockey, ping pong & pool tables, darts, & bb hoop (indoor). Adults loved the massage chair (master bedroom) & hot tub (on deck). Nestled up in the mountains seems very secluded, but is quite near Tweetsie, Mystery Hill, Mast General Store, etc. Grocery store only 5-10 minutes away. Kitchen well stocked for cooking/baking. Very clean. Agree with other reviewer...pictures don't do it justice...it is lovely. A must stay if you're a family with kids.

We booked a BEAUTIFUL cabin near Boone, NC this past June and absolutely loved it!! I hesitate to mention the specific cabin we rented for fear that all you Yelpers out there will read this review and go and book this hidden gem-and then WE wont be able to return! Ha!! But seriously, if you have a large family, the rental named Uncle Johns Cabin is a winner. With three floors, there is PLENTY of room for everyone. There are three bedrooms in addition to a loft that has a bunk bed. Also, every room has a large plasma flat screen TV along with large flat screen TVs in the family room/den and the game room/basement. Now, about the game room.....this was by far the BEST place for our three boys to hang out. There is a pool table, an air hockey table and a ping pong table. There is also an electronic basketball-shooting game. So cool....SO MUCH TO DO!! The wrap-around deck had us feeling like we were living in a tree house. So beautiful. We LOVED having our morning coffee out on the deck. The cabin is situated on the side of a mountain, but the views are (primarily) accessed from the hiking trail behind the cabin. The trail was a bit overgrown, but our boys made quick work of clearing it so we could access it easier without the thorn bushes. The cabin is just about 10 minutes from Boone, NC. So much to do in Boone....we did a canopy zip line tour on one of our vacation days and loved that. And incidentally we accidentally left our zip drive that had over 120 photos from our zip line canopy tour in the cabins PC computer. Once we realized we had left it behind, we contacted Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals and they were able to get the zip drive from the cabin and mailed it back to us (along with a shirt we left behind-and they laundered the shirt before shipping it!!) And I think it is worth mentioning that there is a golf course at the base of the mountain (three minute drive from cabin) if you enjoy golf. So to wrap this belated review up, the cabin and everyone at Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals were great. We hope to return sometime soon so we can make more memories!!

My family and I traveled from S. Carolina, Georgia and New York and held our first family reunion here the weekend of 9/5-9/8 and it was awesome!!! We thoroughly enjoyed all the cabins that were rented and their amenities. They were in close proximity so it was easy for everyone to visit each other. We definitely had a great time bonding, laughing, and making everlasting memories. One of the cabins had a leak in the bathroom sink but maintenance was contacted and fixed it without hesitation. Ive been to other cabins, but this was the BEST by far!!! - Shameka and the extended Griffin Family 9/5-9/8, 2014 1 Abundant Life, A Positive Outlook, Carolina Charm, and Uncle Johns Cabin

My family stayed for 2 nights at Uncle John's Cabin while in the Boone area for my oldest daughter's Masters graduation from App. This was a beautiful and very tastefully decorated facility that served our needs perfectly. Basement area was one large playroom with air hockey table, pool table, pingpong, darts, and a small basketball goal setup. It also had a massive TV! Second or Main level had wonderful kitchen, large den, 1 king and 1 queen bedroom with large bath that had washer & dryer. TV's in every room! Large wrap around porch was just right for morning coffee and for grandbaby to play on. Top level had massive king size Master suite with attached bath & large TV, study with computer hookup & wi-fi, large TV and two bunk beds. This was one of the best places we have ever stayed and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Highly recommend this facility and Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals to anyone. We will definitely use them in the future for get-aways!

We looked at pictures online but when we got there we were blown away. There were 6 of us (2 teens) and we just couldnt have asked for me. We practically lived down in the gameroom downstairs. I will tell you the pictures dont do this justice. It's warm and homey and super clean and stocked with everything you need. It was also easy to find and located in a great spot. We enjoyed staying here and cant wait to come again.

We wanted a place to stay in the mountains that looked like a cabin on the outside, but contained the amenities of a more modern home. Uncle Tom's Cabin exceeded our expections!!! The unfinished basement has lots games including ping pong, pool, basketball (carnival style), air hockey, and lots of board games. There are several large screen TV's throughout the house. We enjoyed the cabin so much that we only left the cabin to go snow tubing at Sugar Mountain which was about 15-20 minutes away, and to see "downtown" Boone. If you are looking for a place which is nicely appointed, has a open floorplan, and will keep you entertained while not exploring Boone or the surrounding areas, then this is a great place to go!!!
