The house is in the perfect location, very clean and beautiful! Loved the game room and decks! The only things that could be improved ( not dealbreakers at all) the main bed should define a queen not a double, the ice maker/water should work in the fridge and it would be super nice to have some sort of steps going down the back yard to the lake/trails. It was a great time staying here!

The home was beautiful. Rockers on the porch were a true highlight. Be prepared to be disconnected as the internet and satellite were extremely limited. It is very far from everything. Had a great stay. Would not recommend for younger children.

We loved our stay. The home was very on point. Beautiful decor & finishes. My kids loved the downstairs area - bunk beds, tv with comfy chairs & blankets, air hockey, & game machine. My husband and I enjoyed all the outdoor seating and the indoor fireplace at night.

Perfect rental for kids and adults. Great location! No need to leave the mountain except for groceries. There was plenty to do for all the kids ranging from 10-17. Community pool, great trails to hike and lakes to fish at. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 6 kids. The cabin had everything needed to cook for 10 people. Fun game/movie room for the kids. Everyone in our party of ten had a great time! The property manager was readily available for any questions or concerns. We would stay her again.

We had a nice stay at Lakin it Easy. The cabin needs some updating and improvements. First is the front door locking mechanism. The door will not unlock after putting in the code. After 3 tries it resets and then the display will not activate. Even with new batteries it still would not work and we had to leave the back door unlocked when we went anywhere. Second the outdoor deck furniture is rusted and strewn around the deck. Not safe to sit on. The wooden chairs need painting and the seat cushions need replacing. One of the orange cushions is in the woods probably blown off the deck by the wind. Third the mini split heating/AC unit at the top of the stairs leaks water onto the floor. It cannot be used. Lastly a breaker tripped that controls the receptacles in the master bedroom. It would not reset and needs replacing. Lamps, TV and portable AC would not work due to the breaker.The property manager is receptive to these issues being fixed.

The kids had a blast in the house and outside. Beautiful location and very quiet mountain. Also conveniently located to more “touristy” towns if you want activities.

Wonderful home a little further out of town then I expected but still nice. Manager was very helpful an even came to re light pilot lite for us when it went out on fire place. A little challenging arriving at night with directions. Overall great stay.

We have long talked about renting a cabin/mountain house for the week of Thanksgiving as our two families have shared the holiday together for several years now. The 3 levels were absolutely perfect for the kids, us early risers on the main floor and the not so early risers on the third :) The hiking trails were a blast (make sure you have weatherproof hiking boots lol), views were amazing, the game room kept the kids entertained as well as us adults. It was overall a great time! We did read in a review prior to our stay that the tips on the pool sticks were missing so we did come prepared with our own. Thank you for such a great experience and the memories we were able to leave with!

Lakeside was beautiful and relaxing. This place had everything for us and everything was easy to access from check-in all the way to check-out.
The only few drawbacks I found about Lakeside are:
- Both of the pool sticks had not tip
- No ping pong balls
- No air hockey puck
- Top AC unit was leaking
We came on a Saturday when it was raining so we didn't have much to do inside.
One recommendation I would have to the owner is to have more trash bins outside. We barely had enough room for all the trash and it's kind of inconvenient for us to leave the cabins to drop off trash and come back.
Overall, Lakeside is a beautiful place and I would highly recommend this place to family and friends.

Beautiful cabin on the lake in a lovely mountain community! We had a wonderful time! A couple of disappointments as described below, but overall a great cabin for a remote mountain getaway!
1) The outdoor spaces need work. The outdoor furniture is old and dirty and there were missing or no cushions on the deck furniture, so we couldn’t even sit on the couches and enjoy the outdoor views. The decks need to be blown off and thoroughly cleaned.
2) Some of the “clean” dishes were dirty and the remote to the fireplace needed new batteries, so it didn’t work.
3) Deep Gap is VERY remote, and it took longer to get into Boone/Blowing Rock than we anticipated (40-50 min) but the drive to get into town was beautiful!!

Perfect for an energy reset!
The property was overflowing with positive energy from the time of arrival until check out. The decor and color scheme is welcoming. The entertainment was nostalgic. Perfect environment to give yourself permission to rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself and loved ones! We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend.

From the moment we arrived we fell in love with the cabin, the colors, the views, the fun center - we can go on and on! We highly recommend this luxurious Cabin. It allowed plenty of room for two families to comfortably enjoy and really relax. It had everything you could wish for to keep kids occupied and adults too. We spent many late nights whether nestled by the fire or engaged in fun games in rec was a blast. Time seemed to stand still and we truly relaxed. Hardest part was leaving. Thank you for a wonderful family experience!

We arrived at a well kept clean home away from home. The rooms were nicely decorated, all the necessary utensils available in the kichen, fun game room. We could stay there for several days without the need to go elsewhere for fun. My kids already insist on returning in the near future.

Beautiful home! Lots to do for all ages.
The home was just as pictured and super clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space and seating for 7 of us. My husband, father and three boys really enjoyed the game room. We all enjoyed the paddle boats and lake. Would definitely love to stay here again!

Home is everything advertised and more. A beautiful home on a nice lake in a great community. We loved Powderhorn with all the great hiking and the campground with a fresh mountain stream for the kids to play in was a huge plus. Additionally this home came equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Moonlight Properties is a fist rate property management company offering service that goes above and beyond.

Lake in it Easy Vacation
Lake in it Easy on Powderhorn Mountain is a wonderful escape from the hustle & bustle of city life. Very serene and private, this vacation log home cabin has everything needed for relaxation and fun. There is abundant wildlife around including deer, wild turkey and bunnies. Easy access to the lake for fishing or hiking trails. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening, playing pool and video games. The home is immaculate, clean and sleeps well. The property manager is super if you need anything or have questions. Very prompt and courteous. We will put this place on our list for future getaways.
