Family get away for PopPops Birthday. What an amazing property. Spectacular views from the porch. We stayed in the entire weekend and enjoyed meals together, family chats, bonfires and just relaxing. The walking path was an adventure with the littles, they enjoyed the fresh air and memorial gardens. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, beds were comfortable with space for everyone. Great family home!

Beautiful Stay

The sunsets are the icing on the cake of this home. The kitchen is immaculately equipped for pretty much any meal you want to make, the beds and linens are comfortable, it’s clean and welcoming, quiet, and in a great location with so much privacy and so many birds to hear. Be advised the bunk room is an alcove “open to” the downstairs living (there is no door or curtain.)

The Perfect Holiday House near Boone and Vale Crucis

We had an absolutely fabulous trip to Boone/Vale Crucis. This house is by far the best VRBO we have stayed in. The view, location and home are fantastic. The house was immaculate, and the kitchen fully equipped. Hosts are organized, easy to communicate with and unobtrusive. We plan to book again for the same time next year.

Family Thanksgiving Reunion

This beautiful mountain home in Boone, N.C. was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 3 children. The house is spacious and the kitchen well equipped! The views from the house are stunning! Our family enjoys hiking and there are plenty of hiking opportunities nearby! The hosts, Ruth and Garry, responded immediately to our questions. We appreciated their attentiveness.

Family Reunion Football Trip

Family from Coastal NC, Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey came in to enjoy fall foliage, see my App State Senior, and root on Mountaineers Football! The house is fabulous! Very clean and all that was promised, including an exquisite view! Communication with owners was easy and prompt. The gravel drive was a bit daunting for those not used to mountain driving, but they got used to it after a day or two! Highly recommend this lovely home!

Great place, great location, great communication

This is a beautiful place that is fully up to date with more than enough room for our party of six. The location is close enough to all the fun stuff in Western NC including Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Boone and Banner Elk. We did not do it but Ashville could certainly be day trip. The owner is a great communicator. Nothing went wrong but they gave us helpful hints, provided details about the property and stayed in touch throughout. We will definitely consider this place for the next time we go to Western NC for a mountain visit.

Perfect Mountain Getaway with Friends

Four of us couples travelled from south Florida for our husbands to participate in their 3rd annual 100 mile cycling ride through the mountains. It’s been hard to find what we were looking for over the past three years, but this year we hit the jackpot with The Shadowlands! Each couple had a king size bed and bathroom all to themselves. Private, cozy and beautiful. Garry and Ruth thought of every detail with this property—From the fully equipped kitchen, to the stocked game cabinet along with plenty of seating on the deck to take in the breathtaking view of the sunset over the mountains each night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! They were so friendly, kind and helpful, quick to respond if we had questions. I would highly recommend Garry and Ruth’s lovely home to anyone wanting to escape to the mountains!
