We brought our teenagers and their friends up for the weekend and it was the perfect layout. Our bedroom was on the main floor with the beautiful view from the porch nearby. The teenagers enjoyed the pool table, shuffleboard and hot tub. There was a second living room downstairs giving everyone plenty of places to spread out. The location of the house is central to Boone/Blowing Rock and Beech/Sugar Mountain. All of the area attractions are a short distance away. We will stay here again!

Absolutely LOVED this property! Excellent location, and you cannot beat the view!
They’re not joking about needing 4WD. I do not suggest coming to the house for the first time in the dark - you may fall off the mountain.
Two notes:
1. Spend some time in the kitchen before you have to cook, and make sure you open ALL the drawers ALL THE WAY. Steak knives are wayyyy in the back of a random drawer - ha!
2. Put your heaviest sleeper in the basement bedroom. You hear every single step that happens above you.

My family and friends stayed for the week and had a good time. House was clean and comfortable and nice view to wake up to in the morning. Driveway might be a little scary if you are in a car or in snowy weather I doubt a car would make it in snow, but that kinda is to be expected. SUV had no issue getting up the hill.

Our family of four had a wonderful few days at Grandfather Lookout. The property was extremely clean and comfortable, and the view from the porch is spectacular!

We stayed with a few friends and all had an amazing time at this cabin. We were each able to enjoy each other's company and also have our own separate floors for bedrooms and bathrooms.

The view from the living room glass doors is totally memorable. The cabin was very clean and management very responsive. The kitchen faucet needs attention immediately.
overall the stay was great and would rent again.

We had a wonderful time at this cabin. It comfortably slept all of us: 6 adults, 3 children and a 1 year old. The views were amazing of Grandfather’s Mountain.

Overall, the property was clean and well kept. The driveway is pretty steep, it is fully paved and very manageable with good weather. We had a mid-sized SUV and it did not have any issues, there are 2 sharp turns on the driveway. The cabin was clean and well kept on the outside. The inside was mostly clean, upon arrival we found some dust bunnies in the corners, one of the blankets was left out and not folded, we found some dirt around the corner of the floors, and the bathroom shower tiles could have used a better cleaning on them. You could tell the cabin was cleaned by hitting the high points for a quick rental turn around. Other than that, everything else was in good order. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, there was a small charcoal grill and a larger sized gas grill onsite. The refrigerator was clean, the dishwasher worked well, and the stove looked fairly new. The only complaint here was the oven door is tricky to operate until you get used to it. The door it is split into two sections where you can open a small door, or you can open the full door for oven use. Upstairs in the loft you found the pool table, the shuffleboard table, there was also a closet that had many different games and puzzles. We had great use of the pool table and games during our stay. The AC worked great in the cabin and the hot tub was very relaxing. The back deck has a great side view of Grandfather Mountain. I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous house to spend a little vacation time in. Not sure how you get people to ever leave. Very lovely place and it was a great place to celebrate my son’s graduation from App State in nearby Boone.

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the views of grandfather mountain are unparalleled! Standing on the middle of the deck you have a full view of the side of grandfather’s face! The driveway is definitely steep but it is partially paved which helps! The beds need new mattresses for sure but they were fine for a couple nights. Cabin was very clean and well maintained. We will definitely stay again!

Driveway is scary but the house is great!
The house was great but thank goodness my husband drove. The driveway was slightly terrifying.

Great location and communication
We really enjoyed our stay at John’s cabin. It has a great setup with lots of space and an ideal location near Boone and Banner Elk.
I don’t think I’ve seen brighter stars looking up at the sky while soaking in the hot tub.
It’s a great cabin for sure and John was great to communicate with.
The only improvement I could recommend would be upgraded mattresses for a better nights sleep, but great cabin overall.

Awesome cabin, but steep drive way
We loved the cabin. The overlook was amazing. The only negative review I can give(which I don't think it is a negative, I just think you need to be prepared) is that the driveway is pretty steep. I do recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle to make it a little easier to get up the driveway. We had a great time!

Great overall stay!
The views are amazing! The house is gorgeous and the open floor plan is the best! The kitchen is well equipped as well.
The driveway is hard to get up and scary.
Housekeeping definitely could have done a better job. The bathrooms were clean but there wasn't a lot of attention paid to the other areas of the house (kitchen and dinning especially)
Still, all in all the house was AMAZING!

Need a maid
The view was amazing. Home was nice. Master shower was full of mold and disgusting. Ran out of hand soap, toilet paper and towels. Disappointing.

Great place to stay
We had an excellent stay at this beautiful and cozy home. It was a wonderful place to stay once we were able to get up the driveway, which was a challenge. Definitely recommend using a 4 wheel drive vehicle (even in the summer months) otherwise you may not make it up the driveway!

Awesome Spring Break!
Loved this property. Awesome view and the cabin was very clean with space to hang out, comfortable. During our stay the weather was a bit colder than I was expecting but the fireplace was great to warm up to after hiking etc. Lots to do in the area. This cabin is super close to Otter Falls and Hawksnest ziplining which everyone loved. The only issue was the hot tub which had a leak. We were told to fill it with the hose but that was not overly practical and took a while to heat with the cold water.

Amazing Views!
Our vacation started with 6 inches of snow coming down and it was so beautiful. The driveway to get up to the house is very very steep so if you don't have a 4 wheel drive vehicle its probably not accessible if there has been snow. While they were good about coming in ploughing, we were not able to actually leave the house next day. It was okay though, we packed plenty of food and used the pool table and hot tub. Other than a few wear and tear issues, and some drainage problems, the house is really great and the views are MAGICAL. Bring your own pillows! We had a great snow vacay!

99.99% Best House We've Ever Stayed
Besides a few minor quirks about the house (one thermostat, broken sink & garbage disposal, dirty master shower) this house was perfect for what we needed to enjoy a short vacation in the high country.

Beautiful home
The home is beautiful and even more important it was clean. There are just 4 things I would suggest to earn 5 Stars;
1) it seemed there was only one unit in the house to control the temperature. When it was comfortable upstairs, it was too cold downstairs. If we put the heat up, it was too hot upstairs. Maybe put a space heater down stairs or fans in the room upstairs to help?
2) The upstairs bathroom faucet to turn on the tub needs to be fixed. If broke as soon as someone tried to turn it on.
3) The Master Bedroom shower water does not go down quickly enough when showering, so you are in a puddle of water by the time you are done showering.
4) A clear picture of the steep driveway should be included in the photos of the home. Only one of the cars we had were a 4x4 and could make it up the steep driveway-the rest of us had to walk up and down to our car each day. We didn't mind and enjoyed the exercise, but one of our guest is handicap and unable to but since we did have the one 4x4, she was able to go in that car.
All of these things are fixable, and you would only know if you stayed there. I am sharing to. Ring to your attention and I strongly hope you consider them because as I said the house is beautiful, the views are breathtaking. It is in a great location and my experience with renting wit Carolina Cabins was nothing but positive. The WIFI in the house worked well as our phones had no service. The kitchen was well stocked. The house is nicely spaced that no one felt crowded at any point. Again, most importantly, it was CLEAN!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!! We enjoyed it!! Happy New Year!!!

House was beautiful, turn out the hot tub had a leak and we couture it. That was a problem since we rented a house with one. A tech did come right away but said it had a leak, so we were unable to use it.. the location was great..

Family Getaway
The stay was overall great. Just a few little things. Fans didn’t work, so in the winter the bedroom in the basement gets very cold, you turn the heat to keep the room warm for those sleeping in the basement but those sleeping on the second floor get very hot, but our quick fix was opening the bedroom windows. One of the guest bathrooms was a little dirty we cleaned it ourselves. Again, great cabin just minor details. Definitely a great place to stay.

What a view
The property was awesome, everything you expect from a cabin getaway. Very clean and spacious cabin, hot tub and pool table were great but owner needs to invest in some sticks bad lol. The back deck is amazing with views and glimpses of the lake down the way! Only downside of the property was no fire pit and driveway was very sketchy getting up with a car, kinda need a truck or jeep. Overall a great place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful get away. Thx guys!
