This townhouse provided a wonderful spot for our family and another family of four to enjoy a snowy weekend near tubing and skiing. The setup was perfect for our sized group and we all thought beds were comfy! The views from the deck were beautiful.
The home was amazing! So clean and well supplied. The beds were comfortable and the furniture was clearly good quality and comfortable for our whole group. I would love a longer stay next time!
This was our second stay at this home. We booked it specifically because we had such a great experience the last time. The check in/out process is very easy and convenient; especially important to us managing little kids. The home is warm, inviting and spacious, and always clean. We also love the proximity to the pool and entrance/exit. It has everything we need for a long, relaxing evening. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time at this property! It was clean, spacious, comfortable - everything we could ask for! The check in was very easy and communication was excellent. We enjoyed being able to use the fitness facility and the indoor lap pool/hot tub since our day for planned hiking was rainy and extremely foggy. We journeyed into Boone for some shopping - just a few miles away. We will be back!
We loved our stay in the house for Christmas and new years! The kitchen was very well equipped and offered everything we could need and more.
The rooms were very spacious, beds were comfortable and the rooms were nicely decorated.
My only recommendation for this property would be to offer a crib and high chair for families with small children. We would have also loved if they could have decorated for the holidays and added a Christmas tree. Sad to arrive on Christmas Eve with kids to spend the holidays and have to spend the day hunting town for a tree. Other than that the house was perfect and would come back again!
Everything about this property is amazing, the beds are to die for you feel like you are at home. It was convenient to a lot of places we wanted to see. We will book again
Great location. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, and activities. Walking distance to pool, which also has an incredible view. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of sleeping space and seating. The view is amazing and the outdoor furniture was perfect. Loved the fire pit on the lower patio. Will definitely stay again!
Wonderful amenities. The outdoor pool is right next door. The inside pool is down the hill. The house has everything you would need for a great vacation stay and is very nicely appointed. Close to all the Boone and Banner Elk area has to offer!
This house with its amazing view and location is the perfect getaway to the North Carolina highlands. The place is very clean and comfortable with so much space to have a large group stay together. The sweeping mountain views are hard to beat and it is well worth the drive up the mountain. I would highly recommend this rental and I look forward to returning again soon!
The unit could not have been any more perfect for our family. There was enough privacy for everyone and the unit is laid out perfectly to maximize the space. Views are amazing.
Beautifully appointed and gorgeous views. Only issue was pool key fob did not work so we had to drive to management office for another. But staff was courteous and responsive. We will stay here again.
