Darren's Place is a rustic secluded mountain home, with lots of space to roam.
Grandfather Mountain views while front porch rocking on secluded five acres. Just minutes from skiing, hiking, alpine coaster, shopping, dining and more. Close to Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns and Fall, Beech Mountain Ski, Sugar Mountain Ski, Appalachian Ski, Banner Elk, and Valle Crucis. ***Rought driveway, high ground clearance vehicle and 4WD, AWD, is required.*** ***No AC***
We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was clean, spacious, and close to Grandfather Mountain. We loved the views and scenery. There was only one ladybug who greeted us on day 2! Overall, cute place and would love to stay again.
Darrenâs Place was perfect for our family weekend getaway. Tucked away, but still close to everything. The house was clean and had all we needed. Check in and check out was simple. Communication was fantastic. The porch (and the kitchen sink!) was the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful view of Grandfather. We are definitely coming back to Darrenâs place. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Very lovely mountain hideaway, but worth it for me. The road to the cabin is a little washy if it rains a lot, but a 4x4 or AWD with clearance will do. The scenery is spectacular, especially off the front porch. This is a two level cabin with living quarters on second floor. No AC, but the ceiling fans and box fans do just right for summer months.I enjoyed my stay.
We loved the place! It wasn't the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Cobwebs were all over the place and the floor didn't look to be swept very well. There were a ton of lady bugs but that didn't bother us. It was overall a wonderful stay.
Nice, fairly secluded property. The only negative for me was the tons of lady bugs in the house (1,000s of them). The driveway is very rough which I don't believe was mentioned on the ad, but as long as you have a car that has decent clearance it's fine. The price was excellent compared to others in the area.
This was a very clean property with a beautiful front porch. It's priced VERY fairly for the area and was nice and quiet.
My favorite parts: the fans in each room to help with white noise, the big couches to comfortably watch the giant tv, the front porch with all its chairs, the cleanliness.
I wish it had: better pillows (if you're picky, maybe bring your own), a few more amenities like soap, shampoo, conditioner, some spices, oils, or condiments in the kitchen. It's pretty bare bones.
This beautiful house is the perfect spot for those who are looking for something secluded and away from the typical commercial properties. It sits high up on a ridge in the shadow of Grandfather Mountain giving you an amazing up close view. Any pictures really donât do it justice! Then from the kitchen window there is an absolutely breathtaking panoramic view of the blue ridge mountains. The house itself is very well constructed with a spacious living area and a well furnished kitchen with plenty of space at a huge kitchen table! The bathrooms were very modern and clean. The porch is a wonderful touch for the mountain vacation experience with lots of room and seating for everyone. I highly recommend this amazing property and definitely plan on returning on our annual vacation to the area.
Darrenâs Place was a wonderful family place to stay. Gorgeous views of Grandfather and surrounding mountains. Rocking on the front porch with those views and watching the kids play in the huge yard was just what we needed! The host thought of everything, from detailed check in steps to having all the essentials at hand, including baby gear. The location was very convenient to all we had planned!
