5.0 / 5.0
The property was awesome but the upstairs bedrooms do not have AC and they were warm at night. Besides that, my family and I had an amazing time.
4.0 / 5.0
This beautiful cabin has a fabulous view and is very private. We only heard nature while we were there. It is easily accessible to surrounding towns like Boone, Blowing Rock and Valle Crusis. The hot tub was a major draw for us and it was very nice. My husband would have liked stronger jets but I'm fine just soaking so the mild jets were a compromise for us.
There were a few things inside the cabin that need to be addressed. One of the beds upstairs needs an immediate mattress replacement. It is not able to function as a bed in its current state. (My husband and I sleep separately so he had to go downstairs to the bunkbeds which isn't ideal for a grown man!) We booked this house in part because it had two bedrooms with nice sized beds. So this was a disappointment. Also, the television in the den is placed way too high for comfortable viewing. It would be nice to have some type of shade to pull down if viewing the TV in the afternoon as the sun shines directly into the house. Don't get me wrong, we loved the sunsets but were not able to watch tv until it was dark.
You will definitely need 4-wheel or all wheel drive in the winter as it's a climb to get there, but so worth it!

I would highly recommend staying here the views are amazing the only thing is we had to clean when we got to the cabin there was dirt and dog hair on the floors and couches.

Upon arrival both fireplaces did not work, upstairs toilet seat was badly cracked, bathroom plug at sink did not work. After calling number provided for service with no answer, we later emailed Tonya Hawkins from your Hospitality team and received a response the next day. A service man replaced the broken fireplace switch and provided a remote. He also explained how to work fireplace downstairs (worked via unmarked wall thermostat?), and replaced toilet seat. Written operating instructions for downstairs fireplace would have been helpful. He made note of damaged plug since he did not have replacement with him. Wine openers damaged and did not work. We could not open trash can outside, instructions on can not readable, need instructions inside house, not just on can left outside. We were frustrated to have an email telling us the house was ready and INSPECTED, whoever inspected did a very poor job! Although very clean, items not working should have been part of inspection. Again, the main fireplace electronic on/off switch was in pieces on top of the mantel, should have been obvious when inspecting. Serviceman was very helpful and much appreciated. Once fireplace worked we enjoyed our chilly stay very much!

Views!
The house itself was perfectly secluded and had an amazing view. The hot tub was the highlight! Overall the house it slightly dated and the mattresses could use updating. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a cozy house with an amazing Mountain View!

Great Spring Break getaway
We had a lovely visit. The view was better than expected and even though you feel away from everything you’re only a 10-15 minute drive down the mountain to all kinds of activities and dining options. We had no trouble getting there in a sedan during the warm months although you will see why they require 4x4 or chains in the winter. We have stayed at three cabins in the last year and this is the first one that I would book again. Perfect space for our small family to have peace and quiet although enough room for two small families if you’re close. 10/10.

Everything was good except few issues
Location , view was awesome. Cleanliness was good. My issues was with dishwasher not turning on and main room fire place out of order. I also had to wait few mins outside for door password not working which wasn’t big deal. I contacted property manager with few issues via email immediately after checking in. Our friends loved it too. I would recommend it to friends but would call and verify if all amenities are in working condition.

Apple of my Eye LIVES UP TO THE NAME
What a wonderful little cabin! The views were incredible and the location for what we wanted was perfect. It was VERY high up in the mountain and absolutely requires a car with 4 wheel drive and/or chains in the winter. We visited in early January and had snow 2 out of the 5 days we were there. Around the house there was snow that was at least 2 feet deep. Being so high up was wonderful because the snow doesn't really melt. It takes about 10 minutes to get fully down the mountain from the house, about 5 minutes longer if it was snowing or the road wasn't freshly cleared. There were only a few neighbors around and none of them looked to be occupied. There was so much land to walk around, hike and of course snow sledding (which the property had 3 for us which was such a wonderful added bonus). The cabin has pretty much everything you could ask for including a great 3rd level lounge area with so many books, games, fireplace and a card table. The kitchen is large/spacious and has a gas oven/stove. The fireplaces in the cabin are all gas, which was nice being not too familiar with lighting a real fire and having to worry about getting dry wood. The only non-wonderful comment that I can make on the cabin is that the upstairs rooms are a little small and the bathroom upstairs is a little dated, neither of these would prevent me from booking this cabin again. Both rooms had comfortable beds and clean linens. I cannot recommend this cabin enough for a smaller family or even two couples. Our family agreed based on this visit that an annual trip is a must and we will absolutely be back!

Absolutely amazing cabin and views
The best family vacation we have taken yet. The kids loved snowboarding at sugar mtn and tubing at hawks nest. My husband and I couldn’t get enough of the beautiful cabin views accompanied by the relaxing hot tub. Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful and just perfection all around. This now will be our annual family vacation to make more memories. Thank you for everything!

Great views, mostly comfortable experience.
Overall, the cabin is very nice, well equipped and comfortable, with great Mountain View. Downsides include lack of screens on upstairs windows and no air conditioning on second floor, lack of seating on deck where the great view is and totally unusable sofa bed on lower level. Description says it sleeps 8, but without the use of the sleeper sofa, it really is more like six and that’s using bunk beds that are not all that stable.

Gorgeous cabin. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Super clean and had everything we needed. Very relaxing and kitchen was stocked with anything you needed to prepare a meal as if you were at home. Hated to leave such a wonderful place. Highly recommend.

"Apple of my eye" view was spectacular, clean upon arrival, though a 2 BR it fit 4 A & 2 C comfy.
Positives
View-spectacular
Location-quiet and away from neighbors
Cleanliness
Spa was clean and bleached
As stated one set of towels per person
Bathrooms nicely cleaned, bedrooms too.
Kitchen nicely cleaned
Comfort
Adequate space for 4 adults and two children and dog
Negatives
TV worked sporadically (picture good for 2 minutes, then would lose signal) called in after arrival (Saturday at 6:00 pm) and did not receive a response.
King bed mattress needs replacement
Queen mattress needs replacement, was so soft, sank in the middle and difficult to get out. Also, my daughter and her husband ended up on in the bunk beds. Mattresses should be replaced..
Top priority in a rental should be renters comfort.
Called in fridge handle loose on arrival day, did not receive a call back.
The afternoon sun from the western exposure is brutal in the evening. Though we saw a message to cleaners saying a window reflective film was applied in May. At least owner has been made aware and is trying to correct.
Our rental was Jul 15-22, air conditioning is advertised, basement remained cool, but main level and top floor were very uncomfortable. King bedroom had a ceiling fan, but Queen bedroom did not which made sleeping very uncomfortable.
Finally, we found an envelope in kitchen while cleaning up before leaving. It was for cleaning services to tip the cleaners. I've rented through VRBO, Home Away and others for a weekly rental over the years. We are charged a fee for cleaning in our contract why would we be left an envelope to provide a tip for a service performed once after leaving?
4.0 / 5.0
Fantastic location. Private yet a short drive to everything.
Adorable home. Great location. Convenient to all major attractions. Kitchen has everything you need. Beautiful views from the living room and porches. Management company was very easy to work with. My only major complaint and the reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the Master bedroom mattress is in desperate need of being replaced. It's compete mush and sunken in. Couch in basement is in rough shape as well. Very difficult to sit in as you practically sink to the floor. Other than that I highly recommend this home. One of the best locations in the area.
5.0 / 5.0
Great place. Good management.
This house is roomy, well decorated, and comfortable with great views. At first we were hesitant to rent because of the lack of reviews, but it is well maintained and managed. There was an issue with the hot tub but Blue Ridge Rentals was out right away.
