It was perfect for our family and convenient. It was only 10 minutes from downtown Boone and about 15 from Hawksnest, which is where we had planned to go snow tubing. We loved the hot tub at the home and the kitchen was fully stocked for cooking a lovely dinner. We would like to thank the owners of this beautiful home for allowing us to stay and would love to return one day. ##### Mary Beth H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian J.

This was a moms trip and the property was perfect for the 5 of us. Clean, well stocked with necessary items, comfortable beds, and good location close to Boone! Only a few minor things to add: -we arrived after dark and there were no outside lights on -the towels for hot tub were hard to find-they were located in a bin behind the couch in living room -light in master bath toilet room was burnt out -we could not find the outside trash cans at time of departure, they were located to the left of the front porch inside a closet area. Overall, great property! Highly recommend!! ##### Ashley B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica W. Nov 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home in a great location We are from the coast, so we really loved that this home was really close to the main highways without all the curves (that we’re not used to!) that can come along with mountain rentals. The home is so beautiful, roomy, and eclectic- and we loved the wood burning fireplace in the center of the room. The only thing I wish I knew before going is this home isn’t “right” on the river. It’s a pretty steep hill to get to and from the river from the house, and we took along our young kids as well as my almost 70 year old dad and all his fishing gear. It was a hike, but they did catch fish and had a great time once they got down! All in all a great time, and just a few short minutes to the Original Mast General Store, Boone, and Blowing Rock. ##### Jessica W.

We enjoyed the fireplace and the kitchen was nice to prepare a meal in. Beds were comfortable. The upstairs twin room required creativity to find a way to use both trundles but we figured it out. My only minor complaint was that a hot tub fee was included in our fees but a 2 page list of rules and possible charges made us 2 scared to use it!

House is definitely showing it’s age and the wear of years of rental stays. Home needs some TLC and a good cleaning. The front door has no insulation and was unpleasant during our winter weekend stay. Hot tub water was cloudy. We made the best of the trip and were discounted for some inconveniences. ##### Karen L.

This cabin is very nice plenty of space and great location. But the house was not cleaned very well, lots of dust and hair on floors, windows and shelves. No dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels or garbage bags. I know these products are not required but for the price a small amount is normal in all my other VBRO visits. ##### Heather B.

Dec 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Casa Rios Visit I am a frequent user of VRBO and visitor to the Boone NC area. So generally I have a broader history and therein expectation of what a property should be. I was over-all very pleased with my visit. All of the key elements of the property were in excellent working order despite what some earlier reviews pointed out. I was very happy. The hot tub is one of the best I have experienced and the Jacuzzi in the master is a very nice touch. Service from the rental team was also top notch. The location is excellent. Do be prepared with 4 wheel drive if there is snow or ice as the driveway in is steep. The drive is a circle with one of the entrances much easier to navigate than the other. I would recommend a footnote to this entry process to help first time renters. I was there for a business / work sabbatical so Internet was vital. I had excellent reception with Verizon. I understand that T-Mobile is not good. Thanks for a splendid visit and enjoyable use of your home. ##### pete k. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Myeisha G.
