Wish we could have stayed longer!

A delightful home and hosts! We were visiting for the Doc and Rosa Lee Bluegrass Festival so it was a perfect location. It’s not far from some of the other city centers for daytime excursions. The house is well appointed and designed well! We all enjoyed our stay!

Thanksgiving away

We stayed here for a family Thanksgiving trip. House is beautiful and everything you need is there. Pictures don't do it justice - so well decorated, comfortable and pretty! Kitchen and living room are spacious, and we had plenty of room to cook and gather. Mitchell (owner) was very responsive to the few questions I had on arrival. Would definitely recommend this cabin...thanks for a wonderful holiday!

What a Gem!!

If you are looking for a place to stay near Boone and have happened upon this gem, look no further! This place is amazing! The host are absolutely spectacular and have thought of every little detail plus more! We had a family weekend here and couldn’t have wanted for anything more! There were other renters staying in the bottom unit and we never saw any sign of them other than their car! Perfect in every way!

Just amazing!

This was probably the best rental house we have ever stayed at! We were 2 couples and 2 kids and there was plenty of space and privacy for everybody! The house is clean, beautiful, completely updated and has everything you could possibly need (extra blankets, pillows, sheets, towels, hair driers, etc) and everything you can possibly imagine in the bathrooms and in the kitchen! We felt at home and had a great stay! We will definitely come back! And Mitchell was super quick to reply to all pur questions. Just amazing!

The house is very nicely decorated and well set up, more like a regular house and not so cabin themed like many others we looked at. The hosts communicated well when we asked questions. It was very quiet and only about 15-20 min away from Boone. I would stay here again.
