Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for a quick getaway The cabin was perfect for a quick getaway. Very clean and tidy, close to Boone and many hiking trails. Renters should be aware that the road leading to the house is gravel and quite rutted in spots, especially right in front of the house, with lots of loose gravel. This made it tricky to make it up the very steep driveway with only 2WD, I spun out a couple of times in my RAV4. ##### Kaori B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shari O.

My only complaint is the grass needed mowing BUT it was raining while we were there, so what can you do? ##### Shari O. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abby M.

Enjoyed sitting on the porch in the cooler mornings and evenings. Picture window in the living room really made the house. Lots of cabinet space for our groceries, we cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for meals. This was a great place for the price and location. I would suggest upgrading the mattress in the master (I only tried this one so I don’t know about the others) it is always great when you can sleep well when away from home. Apart from that our stay was still 5 stars and we would come back again. ##### Amber C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott W.
