Very unhappy with the host
On 1/17, we booked this beautiful cabin for a first time family trip for a quick weekend trip on 1/24-1/26 with our immediate and extended family for a surprise to our nephew who was turning 16. And we were all so excited for spending quality time together. On 1/21, Charleston got unexpected snow that closed the whole city down for over 4 days as we are not prepared for this weather. Not only that my husband, me and our two kids got the flu at the same time and when we told the situation to the property rental company and host they did not care one bit and would not refund us the money or even allow us to come another weekend as we would have happily done. So unfortunately, we would not be visiting this cabin when we do get healthy because of the unkind and unreasonable hosts. Truly sad that neither of these reasons would allow for a change in date or refund. I normally don’t do this type of thing truly however seeing my family be down and still sitting next to my 2 year old with a fever and there was no compassion truly saddens me.

Family vacation with the grandkids. My 3 grandsons did some tubing and zip lining.
The house was ideal for the family. I didn’t care to much for parking at the house.

Will come back
We definitely will come back. This is a great family home. Just a heads up, this property doesn't come with somethings most rentals do so you may want to pack them when you come (TP is only in some bathrooms, zero kitchen extras like foil, ziplock bags, dishwasher soap, etc.).

Ski weekend
Great location between Boone and Sugar Mountain! We enjoyed the cabin and had more than enough space to spread out. Just about every cooking utensil, pot and pan you can imagine. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed going back in time to put up a high score on Galaga downstairs in the game room. We immediately felt at home. Nice weekend

House not that great
House was not worth the amount of money. Rug in living room was dirty and felt dirty, master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable and flat pillows. Basement smelled of mildew and it was hard to breathe down there. Living room TV didn’t have Netflix and the cable was not good. Kids room upstairs didn’t have a TV. Lights to the kitchen were in the hallway which was weird. No extra blankets that were soft or anything. No light above stove. Very very poor lighting in the master bedroom. Back porch deck was dirty, leaves everywhere abs no leaf blower. Couldn’t find a broom to at least sweep it off to enjoy. Wine glass still had a lipstick print on one and some of the drinking glasses were dirty. Just did not feel like a clean place. Master bedroom bedspread was dirty also with stains on it.

Beautiful view
Morning coffee and evening wine on the big front porch facing Grandfather’s Mountain. Grandkids loved the game room! Roasted marshmallows and hotdogs over the fire pit. Great location to lots of hiking and activities. We had a great time!

Great Property
Property was just as described. Only issue we had was checkin. We were contacted about 40 minutes before checkin to say we couldn’t checkin until an hour after scheduled time because the cleaning service was running behind. We contacted them notifying them of inconvenience because we had a weeks worth of groceries that had already been in the car for hours along with our small children. We already traveled for 5 hours. Once we got to the property at 4pm which was the regular scheduled time. Nobody was at the property. We waited outside as instructed for the property to be cleaned. After 40 minutes nobody arrived. I went and looked inside and the property appeared clean. I contacted the manager and they said we could enter to our groceries in the fridge but the fridge wouldn’t be cleaned. Once inside we noticed the cleaning service had already been because the appliances were on cleaning cycles and the towels were placed on beds and on the kitchen counter with a card confirming cleaning. I contacted the manager and they gave us a $50 credit for the inconvenience and did not charge us for extra trash bags left at the property since we didn’t take them to the landfill due to the storm. I was highly satisfied at their customer service and will rent from them again.

Nice cabin and great location
We enjoyed our stay and liked the cabin. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed having breakfast on the porch every morning while watching the fog move and reveal the Grandfather profile. Great proximity to Boone and to Grandfather/Linville. Overall, the cabin was clean, although the dishwasher was full of (clean) dishes and there were candy wrappers on the front porch, which hadn't been swept. I will echo some other reviews that the downstairs game room smells like mildew. We didn't plan to use that area, so it wasn't a big deal, but I wouldn't ask anyone to sleep down there. Beds were comfortable and the a/c was a blessing since it was still in the 80s during the day. Also, the fire pit area was nice to have at the end of a day of hiking!

Great Mountain Retreat
We truly enjoyed this cabin and are already looking at dates to return! The house is well decorated and maintained with just enough of a rustic feel amidst luxury to make it a perfect retreat!! It is in a great location - we will certainly be back!!

Review
We enjoyed our stay however the photos on the website were not true representations of the view, which was very minimal and there was virtually no yard. The washing machine did not work properly and the stove burners and dishwasher were challenging to operate. The house was dark and somewhat musty as well.
