We had the best time staying here this weekend! We had everything we needed and more! We spent our days snow skiing at Sugar Mountain, hiking to see Linville Falls & enjoying the Linville Falls Winery. At night we would enjoy a cup of coffee and watch Netflix movies! It’s the perfect location to do all the things! We even got to see a little snow before we left to head back home! We really enjoyed our stay and plan to hopefully come back! I highly recommend! 😁

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and cozy condo. The condo was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable. My grandkids really enjoyed the indoor pool and the kids loft. Everything you could need and more is provided. The coffee bar and the fresh baked cookies on arrival were such a treat. The view is amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

This is our second stay in this unit and our 8th stay in this development. This is by far the best condo. It is beautiful, immaculately clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen and has many other extras too numerous to mention. Owner is so accommodating and easy to work with. My family is looking forward to our next visit.

I rented this cabin for my parents because every year they love to drive up and look at the color of the leaves as they change. They absolutely loved it here and couldn't get over the view on the back deck. Helene was a wonderful host and was always easy to communicate with. My wife and I have stayed here as well and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this place!

This home was everything you see in the pictures and even more. My family and I spent a week here and couldn’t get enough the incredible view from the living room and master bedroom. All of the seasonal decor and cozy blankets were greatly appreciated.
The baked goods was the cherry on top.
I would definitely recommend this home.

The space was very well taken care of! Very clean and I loved all the fall decorations! Helene was a great host. I needed to reschedule this trip twice, and both times she was very accommodating. I also appreciated how well stocked the place was. My 3 year old spilled chocolate milk on her favorite pajamas, and I had to throw them in the wash to salvage the evening. I don’t typically do laundry when I travel, but at this moment, I was very grateful there was detergent and fabric softener available. The views were incredible - I especially enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. Overall, this was a great and cozy place to return to after a day of exploring the high country. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Look forward to returning in the future!

Everything was amazing! The views were gorgeous, the house was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The host has thought of everything. Thank you for the homemade treats; they were yummy. My 3 sisters and I hike MacCrae Peak!!! We had NO IDEA what we’re getting ourselves into, but we survived. Thank you for providing such a lovely place for us to laugh and create more family memories💕

After a long day of touring a nearby college and the area, we thoroughly enjoyed this home. Beautifully decorated for Fall and welcoming touches with extensive coffee bar and chocolate chip cookies. We enjoyed the reclining couch and chair with fireplace and TV. The view is amazing - we ate dinner on the porch to take it all in! The kitchen is well stocked - I prepared dinner and breakfast and found all I needed. Would return again.

Helene & Mike made our stay extra special! The entire home is decorated to perfection! From the warm Blankets, to the bedding - the accommodations are exceptional. There were MANY little touches that you don't find in rental properties! i.e. homemade cookies, birthday decorations, a fully stocked coffee/tea bar, special lotions, soaps, candles and more! You won't be disappointed!

Look no further and book this place! You won’t find a more attentive host or a more cozy and homey place to stay. When you stay here you don’t feel like you are in a rental home, it feels like a friend is letting you stay at their house. High quality amenities, the towels were soft, bedding was very nice and comfortable, and we loved the coffee bar and baked goods! The seasonal home decor just goes to show how much the host cares. Incredible views and a great place to make memories with family and friends. We will definitely be back!

This house is amazing! And the host was the sweetest! I wish they had more properties to rent! The house had everything you could need and then some, it set some major standards for future vrbos for sure!

While we only were there for one night, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Helene and Mike’s place. It was spotlessly clean, well stocked, and welcoming. The beds were comfortable with good pillows. The cookies were a nice surprise. The community is great and the club house and pool looked beautiful. We hope to come back again and enjoy them.

This was the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed. Such a gorgeous view and the house was decorated so great. They literally thought of everything when they decorated and stocked this house for us. This is where we will be staying every time we go to Boone from now on!

The condo is simply beautiful; it's so well decorated, even better than the pictures. The views from the porch are stunning; relaxing to watch the sunrise in the morning or the stars come out at night. My kids loved the cookies the host had baked, there was nothing we needed that the condo did not have! We were able to enjoy the pools & clubhouse while there, I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic visit to the NC mountains! I've stayed in a number of VRBO's but none were as well-appointed as this one. Helene went out of our way to make our stay comfortable, and even welcomed us with fresh baklava! There was everything you could possibly need or want in this condo and the beds were super comfy and the views from the back porch were amazing! Yes, you have to drive a distance to restaurants -- but if you want a great view and all the comforts of home, this is the spot! We will be back!

Helene was very responsive & the entire home had soo much detail and personalization that it made it very welcoming. The freshly baked cookies and coffee bar were a big hit.

We stayed here with my parents for my daughter's graduation weekend from App State. Condo was beautiful with all you could need for a comfortable stay. Beautifully decorated, comfy beds, fantastic views. Helene was so easy to communicate with ahead of our trip and with the couple of questions we had while there. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thanks for a great stay!
