Lovely weekend getaway
We enjoyed a weekend in this beautiful spot with a roaring creek behind the house and the setting in quiet woodsy neighborhood. The house is well equipped and comfortable, welcoming for children and pets. While it feels remote, it's an easy drive to Blowing Rock, Boone, and Banner Elk. Just note that the house has dampness with some odor and smells like there may have been smoking in the house at some point. Still, we loved our stay!

Loved Our Stay
Nothing fancy, but warm, cozy and inviting. In fact, we returned to stay twice in October! Loved the fact that we were able to bring along the dogs. Few things to note: Bathooms are tight, space between toilets and bathtub. (And we're pretty small folks!) There are both a Keurig and auto drip coffee maker, (when I called Foscoe, rental agency, they said there wasn't a Keurig.) There's only a charcoal grill so bring your own charcoal. They have lighters there. Many games, were fun! Many windows are not operable, don't crank out. This last trip we didn't care, but one before, it was warm and would've liked fresh air as entire house, with exception of kitchen and bath, is WTW carpeting. For age of home, was in fine shape and pretty clean. We'll we back again!

Not worth it
The carpet was very dirty. When I mentioned it to the Foscoe Realty rep she said the spring cleaning of the carpets has not yet happened. No apology, just that's the way it is. I also mentioned the somkey smell in the unit. She said all the houses with wood burning fireplaces smell like that. To bad, live with it.

44 Shanty
We loved our stay at 44 Shanty Springs The house have everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as your own house. The creek behind the cabin it is amazing, I loved it The houses are far apart enough for peace and quiet, the only thing I heard was the creek and the birds Enough restaurants and supermarkets to meet all your needs

Nice weather
The property was great. The check in process was somewhat confusing. Never received my check in email. First property was not up to standards. Called management and they were able to find us another property. Which was very accommodating.
