Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Walk in to beauty! This cabin has a Wow factor! Its tucked away in a little nook and is very peaceful. Its close to Boone and has beautiful scenery. We loved sitting out by the fire pit. Great amenities and the spice rack was a bonus! We had a blast using the walkie talkies...reminded us of when we were little. We will definitely be recommending this location to our friends. Returning is must. ##### Krystal G.
