Beautiful place, very comfortable and quiet. Just loved it. We discovered a spot below the townhouse where there used to be a girls camp, it was so nice down there next to a creek. From our deck we could hear the water flowing to the creek and saw a sweet family of deer each morning and evening.

It was cozy & welcoming. You can tell its been loved for many years. The setting and layout are perfect for privacy. One suggestion is that owners should freshen it up either with some new furnishings and/or a deep cleaning. All in all we enjoyed very much.

I went to school in Boone and have gone back for many years as our daughter just graduated, and I was shocked when we drove up to this community because I never knew it existed. It's an incredible location just outside of Boone where you get away from the hustle and bustle and just take in the peaceful mountain setting. Then it's a quick ride to Blowing Rock and Banner Elk to enjoy everything the area had to offer. We spent a snowy weekend here and the house was really cozy. We had plenty of room to spread out, but we spent a lot of quality time in front of the fireplace or around the table for meals. Two of the bedrooms are massive, and then there's a big loft space you can't really make out in the pictures. The house had everything we needed and even lots of kitchen stuff like spices and what not from previous stays. My only complaint is that the house had a bit of dust and cobwebs, there were old dishes left in the dishwasher and it seems like the vacuum may not work well as their were balls of stuff around. It was not a deal breaker and we'd stay here again but also not what you expect when spending that kind of money. The surroundings were really nice with a stream that you can hear running just off the porch. We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee watching several deer cross through one morning. I look forward to visiting again in the summer when the rhododendron are blooming and more of the community is open.

We stayed at Barwaller the last two weeks of July. Cutting to the chase, the property was not ready for rental. At the very first we were greeted by dirt and cobwebs around the entryway. We then discovered layers of dust on the kitchen appliances and window sill (plus cobwebs). The owners' personal possessions were in evidence everywhere. You might expect this to a reasonable degree but we found underwear in the BRm chest of drawers. Clothing and shoes (at eye level ) greeted you upon opening the MBr closet. The sheets on the master bed were literally shredding on the edges. Much of the horizontal trim and baseboards had thick dust. At least the bathrooms were properly cleaned - the master was nicely renovated. Management needs to keep a closer eye on their rentals!
