House was great. Very clean. Enjoyed fishing at the lake across the street.

The cabin was exactly as described. It was spacious & the cleanest cabin we’ve ever rented. It was equipped with everything you might need. The outside porches with comfortable chairs & rockers were perfect to gather to enjoy a cool breeze & coffee. We cooked some delicious meals in the kitchen as well as on the grill. There was plenty of room for dining inside & out. The location was perfect for visiting Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock & Valle Crucis park which was full of wonderful activities. The lake was beautiful and a quick walk across the little road. Fish were caught every time! The area was quiet & secluded & we couldn’t have had a more relaxing family vacation!!

A beautiful cabin with a great view. Lakeview is easy to get to, beautiful and very clean. The check in process was easy and communication with the host was as well. Any question I had was addressed quickly and accurately. The interior is a beautiful cabin motif with plenty of room for our family. The outside porches have plenty of seating and the outdoor fire pit is beautiful. The property is well
Maintained and we had no issues with the driveway as there was snow on the ground. The cabin is conveniently located near Boone, Banner Elk and the surrounding area. Definitely would book again if we are in The area.

This is a terrific location proximate to App State and many other places to visit. Cabin is large, very well equipped - outside space with firepit and grill is superb. Furniture comfy and cozy and everything you could ask for.

The owners have checked all of the boxes. Great place to stay. Just bring food and you won't need to leave. Great place to go and relax. Saw lots of deer any time during the day. Very private. House has lots of decking, fire pit with speakers so you can bluetooth your phone to what you want to hear. Hot tub was awesome, pool table in the wallk out basement. The 4 bedrooms are nice and spread out so everyone had privacy. House is secluded but off a main road so it has easy access. I would stay there again.

This cabin definitely exceeded our expectations. The home was clean and beautiful with a laid back cozy feel and enough space for our family of eleven to be comfortable and relaxed. There were plenty of comfortable furniture both inside and outside. It had a very well stocked kitchen that made us feel like if we were home. We rented in the summer and the a/c was perfect to keep us Floridians feeling cool. The staff is outstanding and very attentive to all our needs. We celebrated a family reunion with our adult children and this was an experience with memories we will always treasure.

My family & I really enjoyed our stay at Lakeview! The cabin is beautiful, with lots of space & lots to do! We spent many hours playing games, hanging out at the fire pit or on the porches, & in the hot tub. The beds were comfy with many pillows & blankets available. We enjoyed the neighborhood & took many walks around it. We also loved the speakers on the porches that were blue-tooth enabled. It’s secluded & quiet, but also very close to lots of fun, restaurants, & stores. Our favorite place to visit was Valle Crucia community park! It was wonderful for the kids (and adults!) to play in the creeks, play soccer & basketball, play on the playground equipment & swings, & ride their bikes around the paved trails! It was only a few minutes drive from the cabin. Plus, the very cute Mast General Store was just in front of the park. We also drove past this further up the mountain & stopped at multiple “overlook” areas with spectacular views & picnic spots.
We saw so many deer each morning around the lake & close to the cabin! The kitchen was very well-stocked. We enjoy cooking, so we appreciated that so many small appliances & many pots & pans were available. The tv’s were set up with all the streaming apps, making it easy to watch movies together on the comfy couch! Two small things to be aware of are that the master bathroom’s tub is difficult for shorter or older people to step into. It’s very high. And with that being the only bedroom on the main floor, older relatives may have a hard time staying at this cabin. If that’s not a concern for you, though, you’re good to go! Also, the lake was very muddy & smelly during our stay. Not sure if that’s because we were told there’s been a lack of rain in the area (although it rained daily while we were there), or the hot weather, or another problem. We weren’t able to enjoy it much because it was very smelly with many dead fish floating in it each time we’d walk near it. It was not clear & pretty like in the photos. That was the only disappointing part of our stay.
We highly recommend Lakeview cabin & plan to stay again in the future!

We enjoyed fishing in the pond and we’re able to catch a variety of fish. The house was very cozy and comfy. Enjoying the hot tub was also wonderful after doing Smores at the fire pit. The weather was fantastic for the Morial day weekend. We hope to book this home at another time.

The cabin was a perfect setting for our family get together. It was clean and comfortable. Lots of room for 12. Nice big eating area, spacious living room with plenty of seating area. Lovely upper and lower decks.

The property was perfect for our family coming in from out of town for our daughters graduation from App. We wished we would have had more time to use all the amenities.

We spent nine nights at Lake View. It is a remarkably quiet and picturesque valley that is very convenient to Boone and surrounding areas. The cabin is very nice with comfortable beds, a nice kitchen, and a lot of outdoor space to enjoy the mountain weather.
5.0
We had a great time as a family of 8 with our stay. We had 2 children (both under 4), 2 dogs, and 6 adults. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The only thing we had a small problem with was the flooring on the main floor is very creaky which made it difficult to put little ones to bed. Besides that we couldn’t ask for anything better! Location was great, views were great (even better thanks to snow in mid April!). We’d love to stay again.

Lakeview provided the perfect long weekend escape for our family of 9. So clean and the location was amazing. We loved being able to walk down to the lake and the short trip to Boone for take out food made the getaway even more convenient. The outdoor porch and the fire pit area provided great gathering places. This was the perfect cabin for our family to gather.The only negative - there is not a walk in shower in the main bedroom. So we just had to provide caution with our 81 year old mother. Other than that, the bathroom and kitchen areas were convenient, well stocked, and clean!
5.0
We absolutely loved everything about this cabin! A few moments after walking in the door we all decided that this cabin would be our choice for all future long weekend stays. The location is very private and the view of the pond is beautiful. We had a crazy mix of weather, went from a blizzard to spring like weather in a day but we're used to that living in N.C. This cabin was perfect for whatever the weather conditions were. We had plenty of room to enjoy the cabin inside during the snow and the hot tub is the best hot tub we've ever been in! When the sun came out we all walked down to the pond for some fishing, didn't catch anything but it's all about the experience. Such a peaceful location! I spent a few hours just sitting out on the deck watching the wildlife, birds, squirrels, chipmunks and even a mama deer and her baby walking around just a few feet away from the cabin. It was so relaxing and beautiful! If you are considering booking this cabin do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed! I found it to be even better than pictured. We are already looking forward to going back.

This was our first visit to the area out of 4 previous ones where we received a lot of snow. Although we all drove 4 wheel drive vehicles they all got stuck at the bottom of the driveway. It was three days before our driveway was plowed after being told it would be everyday.The weather was perfect for a fire in the fireplace and wood was delivered when requested however most of it was split too large making it difficult to maintain an ongoing fireDue to the anticipated storm , I was presented with what seemed like a lot of extra paperwork / information by the check in staff that appeared to be primarily covering any and all circumstances that might appear . Not enough counter space in the kitchen for 11 people.

The house was beautiful and we couldn’t ask for better accommodations. Definitely make sure you have four wheel drive as the driveway does get iced over.

Home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Special touches like pumpkin decor, included firewood, and a spectacular outdoor space with fire pit made this a great getaway. The management office was very cordial and great at communication! Highly recommend!

Overall this was a beautiful cabin. No views of the mountains but did overlook a pond. Very private. Beautiful trees with all the colors. Love the location in Boone. Close to many attractions such as Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mt, Linville Caverns, Cascade Falls. Does have a steep driveway so definitely need a 4-wheel drive vehicle in winter. We had a light snow flurry in early Nov. Would recommend this cabin and would stay again.

Our experience was perfect. Cabin set up nicely, well appointed with the BEST sofa, beds and baths set up well. Kitchen has all the accoutrements one needs to cook anything; washer and dryer well functioning. C0ttage was very clean. Realize two-week cleaning is now required during a long stay by insurance company-- was a bit of interruption with visitors on ground. Outside elements were planned well: chairs, CLEAN grill, fire pit are is lighted and set up even with fireplace tools. Around the cottage fall decorations were placed (down to even pumpkin designed sofa pillows) to brighten things up; lawn and grounds were well kept. You can tell the owners care about their cabin; extra touches etc. Of course VALLE CRUICIS LOG CABIN staff are the best. Always ready to help and assist; cleaning staff did well; and Carl is the MAN!! We love this place and put our deposit for next year!!!

House is outstanding and fully equipped. There was nothing we didn't have. Excellent location to everything we wanted to do. I was called before checking in that there was an issue with the AC and that window units would be provided. I agreed that would be acceptable. On the 3rd day of the stay, received a voice mail from management company that the AC parts had arrived and an AP repairman was on the way to be there in 20 min. This was on Friday at 530pm. Repairman arrived and proceeded to come in and out of the house, ask for things, location of indoor unit, etc. AC repair took 5 hours! We had to cancel our plans for dinner with long time friends at the house that night. Called the Mgmt company and was told I would be contacted on Monday as all managers had left. Never contacted.

This was our first trip to the mountains. We went to celebrate our sons birthday. The house was so cozy we didn’t want to leave to enjoy the sights. We spent Saturday fishing and resting on the decks. My one son brought his hammock to tie to the trees. He found the perfect spot!!! Everything was clean and well maintained. The only thing lacking was time! We need more time for next time!!! We hope get back to Lakeview again in the near future. Thank you for sharing your home!
