This was our first VBRO rental. In short this truly has been a wonderful experience from the process on the VBRO website, the property being everything and much more, to the detailed communication from the owner Kelly. - Located in West Jefferson, a little town that has that Hallmark hometown feel. - Centrally located to reach other attractions in Boone and Banner Elk such as Sugar Mountain, Grand Father Mountain, and various outdoor venues to experience. The cabin has that wonderful cozy feel you look for in a mountainside destination. The amenities offered make you feel right at home. If you need anything additional there are grocery stores, CVS, and Walmart just a couple of miles away. - Each room has its own personality - The master suite on the 3rd floor is very spacious with a sitting area and tv - The main floor with kitchen and access to the balcony is perfect - the lower floor or family area as we called it has a roomy couch, tv with soundbar and some games to keep everyone busy. The owner- Kelly is wonderful. Being our 1st vacation rental, we had a ton of questions Kelly not only answered us in a timely manner. She also provided very detailed feedback, suggestions, and her expertise of the area. We are so grateful to have been able to have this 1st time experience at her property. We will certainly keep The Ruby Owl Cabin Townhouse in mind for our future travels. Thank you ##### Eddie C. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### G Paul H.

The cabin is a duplex; we rented both sides with our friends for six bedrooms. The space was fantastic, giving a very comfortable cozy-cabin feel. Our host was super communicative and very helpful. The location was convenient, and the cabin was very clean. We highly recommend the duplex and the host. We will be back! ##### G Paul H.
