Clean, Comfy, and Quiet
Super nice property that was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating, extra blankets, and even nice real plants around the house. Kind of felt like the owner left everything needed in place, cleaned it real nice and moved out for a few days to let us come visit, would definitely stay again!

Adorable home in a perfect location!
Martha was a wonderful host! The communication with her before and during our trip was fantastic. She responds to any request very quickly and is so accommodating. The house is SO cute! 3 very nice comfortable bedrooms all with their own smart tv's, a cozy living room also with a smart tv, the kitchen has everything you could need including a coffee pot and kcup maker which I made good use of and drank coffee on the porch while reading a book and enjoying the Mountain View in the morning. It was very quiet in the area and near everything we wanted to do in Boone and Blowing Rock. I couldn't not recommend this property and it's lovely host enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities at the property and the view. The home was cozy and had all the comforts. Martha is a very pleasant host. She was always available by phone or text and very quickly responded to our needs and questions. The 3 bedroom home was perfect for our party of five. It made our vacation very enjoyable and memorable.

Grandson's 4th Birthday Celebration Weekend
We rented the bungalow for my grandson's 4th birthday celebration that was held at the pool in Boone. Martha's place was clean, cozy and hospitable. I especially enjoyed all the cooking in the beautiful kitchen. It was supplied with everything even paper towels and dishwashing detergent. I had brought my own just in case. The mooing cows added the mountain country touch. I also loved the outdoor lights in the back yard. Overall, it was perfect for my family to stay through the weekend.

Warm and Cozy in High Country
Rosa’s Roost was clean, quaint, well equipped and accommodating for our family. Came to visit our son in Boone for his birthday and his fiancé flew in from Florida. We enjoyed the snow and cold weather from the warm and cozy home. Cooked a delicious meal in the well appointed kitchen. Played games, washed laundry, enjoyed our time together as family. The cows mooing were a treat as well as the roosters crowing. A lot of farm equipment and items around but it didn’t take away from simple beauty. We had everything we needed. I did have to buy a cheese grater for our dinner but that was the only thing I couldn’t find that we needed. Some general spices like garlic & onion powder, Italian seasoning would be a nice touch with the salt and pepper also, but no worries as I did purchase some spices. The electric heaters kept us very warm and all the extra blankets and linens are well provided and great. It smelled like my granny’s home (who recently passed in Sept of 2023) combination of Folgers coffee, what she cleans with and the laundry soaps. It brought a smile to my face and heart and felt as though she was with me this weekend. I didn’t want to leave and could have stayed longer. It was a great place to see our son and his newly engaged fiancé and celebrate his birthday and the beginning of their new life together. Thank you Martha. Your love and thoughtfulness are evident. May you continue to be blessed in your life.

Mountain fun
Marta was a wonderful and communicative host. She responded quickly to all questions. The house was clean and cozy. It was a bit farther from attractions than I had anticipated and the neighboring cows were quite active with their mooing at night but my kiddos loved seeing them in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed a wonderful stay in the mountains.
