This was a comfortable and private cabin just close enough to zip into town when needed. It was clean inside with comfortable furniture and has a nice deck for eating and enjoying the songbirds. We were initially locked out on arrival due to a broken storm door covering the electronic lock, but the rental company was very helpful and dispatched someone quickly to assist, we were very thankful. The hot tub was a fantastic feature we used daily during our stay, though it is situated in a corner that makes the cover very difficult to open up and close againâwe got over that! There was a heat wave during our stay that caused us to need the central air to be turned lower at nighttime and we could never figure this out, we think it might not be adjustable. Fortunately there are fans in every room and we just blasted them. All in all, it was a very nice stay and aside from needing just a little TLC the cabin worked out great.
Good property for family of 5. What was most impressive was immediate response of management to any questions or concerns we had prior to and throughout our stay.
Surrounded by woods on top of the mountain. Wonderful porch for sitting and enjoying the outdoors. Comfortable cabin with all of the amenities.
Close to Boone and surrounding towns with activities.
Enjoyed ourselves immensely~
Perfect location, central to Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock. Quick access to our kids at App State. Clean house, beautiful scenery, quiet, and cozy. Would definitely rent again!
This cabin was perfect for our family. We loved being here for almost a week and thought the house catered to all of our needs. It was in a very convenient location yet felt like you were miles away. Thanks for such a great visit to the mountains.
We loved the location. This is a cute cabin with all you need to be cozy. The hot tub on the cold nights was inviting and relaxing. Watching the deer graze in the front and back yards was exactly what we needed to unwind and just enjoy the mountain. The views are also amazing, keeping in mind for us, there were no leaves on the trees (March). But I am sure in the summer, it is just as beautiful.
I was quite surprised to see all the extra charges that were not included with the quoted nightly price.
We also had some concerns about the hot tub. I contacted the rental management company and was told that someone would get in touch with me. No one ever did. My husband ended up figuring out how to take care of the problem (adding extra water despite a frozen hose). I should be able to charge them for his work!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay

Gorgeous Mountain Home with beautiful property and views.
The property is terrific! The only issues were a few issues with front door code to use for 4 PM check in on a Sunday. The code did not work earlier for the property manager as I was sent new code they reset. Upon arrival at 4:45 pm the new code did not work and took management company 30 minutes to answer and another 20 minutes to get a new code set up that we could use to unlock the front door. The cleaners appear to have come last minute on Saturday prior to check in as Carpets from Kitchen scattered on outdoor porch and damp. Outdoor rugs also not where homeowner would have intended. We hung over rails and let dry out as were very damp. We did love the home with the Fireplace creating a very relaxing environment in the evening. A few simple things should have been noted prior to our arrival as the Dishwasher not screwed in place and missing right, center and left 3 bracket screws causing the Dishwasher to pull out and tip towards floor when opening the Door to load dishes. This issue was easy to fix and since all 3 bracket screws missing has not been fixed for long time.
The home overall we very much liked just felt like the management company did not hold up their part of the deal cleaning and ensuring all working well prior to our arrrival.
This house provided the perfect weekend getaway for our family (4 adults + 4 kids aged 0, 3, 5, 7). It has all the necessities and provides the perfect setting for a winter mountain weekend. We particularly enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, and exploring the surrounding property, which was safe but rugged enough to keep our kids entertained one afternoon climbing rocks and such. I also loved how many fleece blankets were scattered around the house to provide extra warmth and comfort during our morning sunrise viewing. The cottage is exactly as appears in the photosâ clean, warm, and well-appointed. I saw others reviews complain about the lack of overhead lighting, but I personally loved the feel and vibe of a lamplit mountain cottage. We were pleased to find a functional gas grill and a reasonable amount of spices and cooking oils that previous renters left behind. We couldnât find a wine opener but thankfully had a corkscrew on-hand, which we donated to the house for the next party :)
As far as location, the view is gorgeous! There were plenty of other houses nearby, but not close enough to desire additional privacy. It was a 25-minute drive to Hawksnest for snow tubing and the Alpine Coaster, which were both awesome and SO much fun for our 3 âbiggerâ kidsâI highly recommend! It was about a 40-min drive to Grandfather mountain and the mile-high bridge, which we explored after riding the Alpine Coaster. Located about 10 min from downtown Boone, we also enjoyed Booneshine brewery which is a great place to bring kids! The pedalin pig is a barbecue joint super close- by and provided a pretty incredible carry-out lunch after a busy morning out yesterday.
Lastly, the rental agency was so friendly and easy to work with, especially given my last-minute booking. We are now driving home and reliving some amazing memories from our short and sweet, last-minute mountain getaway. Thank you for the hospitality!
The Cabin at first glance appears nice, VRBO has it listed as having Air Conditioning, this is not true. The cabin did not have any AC at all. We were told by Carolina Cabin rentals after the fact that it did not have central air but had window units. The window units were not installed, so it didnât have AC.
1. Light in kitchen covered in spider webs
2. Wine glass in pantry broken and dirty with lipstick
3. Pet waste in can by back door left for who knows how long, what ever you do, do not let your children open this lid as the smell was overwhelming. Very awful.
4. Upstairs bath not draining properly
5. No Air conditioning.
6. Ceiling fan in upstairs bedroom is not sufficient enough.
7. Other than kitchen, no overhead lights. Very dark Cabin even with all the lights on.
8. Stains on the comforter in up stairs bedroom.
9. Upstairs bedroom mattress was awful. Probably 30 years old. Worn to the point of sinking to the middle.
10. Dusty
I hope this review helps. All my last reviews of VRBOâs that we have had were excellent. This one was our first that did not meet expectations. I would encourage you to look somewhere else until the above issues have been addressed.
Our stay was like coming home everyday! Very warming and comfortable. Location was perfect for our travel and community was very quiet and peaceful. Looking forward to staying again in the future.
Great family getaway! Perfect visit with our son who is at App State. Super cozy. The master bathtub was dirty and clogged so kinda gross. Place could use a deep clean but otherwise lovely.
