John, the owner is very responsive! Easy check-in, kitchen fully equipped and the view of Grandfather Mtn really made it! It was a little chilly for August, so we were able to make use of the gas fire logs. Lovely unit with just the right amount of space. Will book again!

The Mountain View is wonderful. We enjoyed time on the porch gazing at the mountains. The home was clean. The air conditioning did not work well. Some better bed pillows would have made us more comfortable .There was a problem with check in, but fortunately the owner was quick to respond with accurate information

Nice Mountain Getaway
Very nice condo with everything we needed for our stay. A/C didn't work great but it wasn't super hot so it was no big deal.One suggestion that I would make is to write down all your key code entry information before you arrive. We had no cell service so we didn't know the door entry code. We walked around in the parking lot until we got 1 bar of service and then had our entry code.

Thanksgiving in the mountains! This condo was the perfect size and had all that we needed. Actually was able to make Thanksgiving dinner - bought the turkey though- for my App State kiddo and friend! Easy access and had all that I needed! Would stay again and great view of the mountains after a light snow!

Lovely mountain hideaway
We wanted to escape for a few days to the NC mountains and this place was perfect. The condo is clean, cozy and affords a great view of the Grandfather Mountain. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals with the food we brought. John quickly replied and assisted us when we needed it. The only drawback was the very twisty road up the mountain - a steep ascent for someone like me who is unused to driving mountainous terrain! Otherwise, a perfectly enjoyable place to stay within a few minutes of picturesque Boone and Blowing Rock. Highly recommend!

Comfortable Stay!
We stayed in the area so our son could see real snow for the first time. This property was the perfect location! We were a short distance away from Beech Mountain (about 25 minutes) and our last day of the stay, when it rained and we couldn't revisit the mountain, we were a short distance away from local attractions.
The property had everything we needed and was the perfect amount of space for the three of us. Check-in was easy and the property owner was easy to communicate with. The balcony had absolutely gorgeous views.
As a sidenote, we enjoyed visiting Mystery Hill which was about a 20 minute drive from the property. Lots of activities to try out for both adults and younger children.

A Great Snow Adventure
We had a great time staying here. The pictures are a true representation of the condo. Our host John was awesome. He messaged me the day before we were to arrive about the weather conditions that were being predicted and information regarding traveling on the road leading up to the condo. During our stay 12 plus inches of snow fell. John stayed in contact with us during our stay and even was able to update us that if we needed to stay another night the condo would be available. I look forward to visiting again.

Great place to stay, very quiet and peaceful area. Awesome views from the deck of the mountains as well as assorted wild life, such as Deer, chipmunk, and various birds. Property is centrally located between Boone and Grandfather Mountain.
We will be back.
