Fully Equipped with a great view!
We enjoyed a week here in June. The unit is well equipped with everything you’ll ever need. The location was great and elevator access was especially nice hauling everything for our 1.5 year old during checkin and checkout. The setup was great and perfect for our time with family. The mattress in the master bedroom could definitely stand to be replaced but we didn’t let it put a damper on our stay!

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful property. We were delighted to have snow and when winter storm Izzy rolled in, the rental agency was flexible and let us stay and extra night for better driving conditions. Highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again.

Great time
The unit was clean, well equipped and maintained. There were plenty of towels, wash cloths, extra pillow and blankets. The view was beautiful from the deck. The oven is small and low to the ground so that may be an issue for older people and those who may want to cook a large meal. The location was great as it was at the top and allowed space for walking around the parking area and explore without being on the main road. There was plenty of parking at this unit. We fished in the ponds but didn't have any luck in catching anything! We also enjoyed the pool one day after we found out it was heated! It would have been nice to have a map in the unit of the property to show where all amenities are located in relation to the unit in which you are staying. It would also have been helpful to have a list of available tv channels for the cable. We would certainly stay here again!

A new retreat for a family getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views and weather were spectacular. We didn’t even mind the rain sitting on the deck. We will definitely stay at this location again. It felt like home away from home.

Great time in the mountains.
The condo was very clean with excellent views and all the comforts of home. The three bed rooms and the baths provide wonderful convenience and privacy for everyone. The clubhouse access for fitness, exercise, swimming and other activities provided much enjoyment. A great location in a well appointed unit.

Great view and central location
Awesome condo and view. The location is central to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and the ski resorts. Location is way up a mountain so you may need 4WD in the snow, it gets really foggy, and take some Dramamine if you get car sick but this is the price to pay for the views. Our only criticism is that the master bed mattress is almost unsleepable. It’s very old and sags at least ten inches and we are not heavy people. We almost moved to the guest room but the queen bed sagged as well. The mattresses are in desperate need of replacement. The shower water pressure is also way too low. It would be so nice to come in from a cold day of skiing and get a hot shower but the pressure isn’t very relaxing. Otherwise, beautiful place. Would come back if better mattresses.

Beautiful!!
We ended up here after our previous reservation elsewhere fell through unexpectedly. It was a great alternative! We couldn't have been happier. This unit is exceptionally well stocked and apportioned. It's quiet and has a lovely view. The beds were comfy and we liked it so much, we are discussing coming back for a week next year!

Amazing Views!
Our family loved our vacation in this area. This is a wonderful condo with excellent amenities. We swam in either the indoor or outdoor pool and soaked in the hot tub almost everyday. We also enjoyed playing pool in the clubhouse. This unit has plenty of space all on one level and a large porch with gorgeous views. It is located within a quiet community close to many activities for all ages. We plan on visiting this area again and renting the same unit if possible.

The condo was well equipped and nicely furnished but was not very clean.
When we arrived we noticed that there was no water. I called foscoe realty and was told that the water is shut off and that it was on our paperwork. The person who answered the phone did not display the most customer friendly attitude and seemed irritated that I was asking for help. I finally saw it on tiny print at the bottom of one of the brochures they gave us. So the first 20 minutes of our arrival was trying to figure out where the water heater and turn on handle was along with the breaker box to turn on the hot water. 45 minutes from then we had hot water. The thermostat was the second point of confusion. It was electronic and there were no instructions. It was warm during our stay and the heat was on. We had to call again and someone from the rental agency had to come down and try to figure it out, which she couldn't. The property owners needed to be contacted and it was found that they had a passcode on the thermostat that they needed to shut off remotely. We never could really figure out how to get the temp right. One of the twin beds was very wobbly and looked as though a leg was broken. The queen bed had dirty linens and there was an empty bag of Doritos under the bed. We also found crumbs and a Skoal can under the couch. It was also not convenient that we had to pick up and drop off the keys at an offsight rental agency. I didn't realize this until after we booked. I am a frequent renter from air bnb and home away and don't feel this arrangement is the most convenient. The positives were the views from the porch, the condo was fully stocked for cooking and it was very quiet. All said, I probably would not rent from foscoe realty again.

Everything about the condo was lovely. Beautiful inside and out, spotlessly clean, quiet. Wonderful view (when it wasn't raining and foggy!). Would definitely stay here again.
