Hidden gem perfect for a weekend getaway
The cabin had everything we needed to cook meals and relax by the creek for the long holiday weekend. Very clean and kitchen well equipped. We didn’t leave the property except for long walk and our dog loved floating with us in the river followed by hot tub soaks for the humans. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of property with us.

A Peace of Heaven
The host and the property completely exceeded all expectations. This property is absolutely amazing. It is secluded enough to enjoy privacy by the creek and just a short drive to the attractions in the area if you would like to see the sights. A perfect location. I highly recommend staying on this property. The host will make sure you go home with nothing but pleasant memories. He was awesome! We will definitely be coming back.

Nice private getaway
Love staying at this cabin. This makes our 3rd yr staying here. Perfect size and level of privacy. Glad to see it survived the flood. Not as much fish as usual post flooding. Hoping the hatcheries will get the trout population back up next year. Still a great stay. Plenty of supplies in kitchen and bath. Lovely view from from front and back deck. First time seeing a bear here. So that was an extra special treat.

Mountain cabin
We stayed in this cabin for a week and two other families we know stayed in the other two which worked out very nicely. The cabin was very nicely decorated in a cabin theme and very clean. The bed was comfy, the kitchen well stocked. It was dog friendly with pet bowls on hand. We enjoyed the large hot tub every night. There was a note when we arrived that the dishwasher was broken and that a repair request was put in but no one ever came which was inconvenient. The wifi is weak - don't plan on doing work or streaming here. This is a great place to get away from it all as it is in the middle of nowhere. Stock up on groceries before you come because it takes a good 30-40 minutes on curvy, narrow roads to get to a grocery store or restaurant. I wouldn't drive those roads after dark, that's for sure. Overall we really enjoyed staying here and would do it again.

Great cabin and stream, but ...
After a few VRBO hiccups, check in was easy. The cabin is nice, clean, and comfortable. Lots of towels and extra sheets. The dishwasher did not work. We were unable to use the TV. The wifi is OK. The door to the storage space would not lock and banged in the wind, requiring a rock to prop it closed. There is no cell service but there is a landline.Information on how to get there should have been in the listing. Recommend asking owner to provide detailed directions both to the cabin and to Boone if he does not post them after our recommendation. The VRBO estimates on how long it takes to drive to places are inaccurate. There are no restaurants within a walking distance. Boone is about 25/30 /- 5 minutes away. Blowing Rock an additional 25 minutes. The first mile as you leave is a heavily rutted gravel road. The paved is narrow, with hilly and hair-raising sharp switchbacks and no shoulders.There was not much to do here. Contractors were loudly dredging the stream with heavy equipment for the first few days, so fishing and tubing were out of the question. Owner said they did not tell him when they were arriving. Since he knew that they would be coming at some point, it would have been nice to forewarn us, give us the option of whether to come and even offer some compensation for the noise.We enjoyed the stream after workers left for the day. If you plan to “stay put” for the most part you will be fine. But if you want more, it will require some driving. Hope this helps.

Amazing creek
We loved staying here. If you are looking for somewhere to unwind in a remote peaceful location this is it. The floor plan is great because each bedroom has its own bathroom. This is a very nice house that is spotless. We loved being outside with the beautiful creek. We will happily go back.

Beautiful Cabin and Location
We stayed over a long weekend at the cabin and had a great time. Plenty of area to explore and the creek behind the house was gorgeous. The hot tub was awesome. Inside the cabin was great, beautifully decorated, nice appliances and cabinets etc. The gas fireplace along with the AC unit kept the whole house warm when it was 14 degrees outside. Only downside was the couch, definitely worn out and needs replacing. Also if traveling from Boone to the cabin and there is heavy snow, 4WD or AWD is recommended to make it up a slope along the way. Overall I would definitely recommend this cabin and look forward to staying here in the future.

Nice and relaxing
Beautiful property and area! Very quiet and peaceful. Lots of land for the dogs to run. Kids enjoyed the creek and exploring around the property. They have a tankless water heater, which means never running out of hot water from showers. Satellite TV is nice, and the internet works good. Gas fireplace is a push button and is probably the easiest fireplace I’ve ever used. Cabin has just about everything you need. Our ONLY negative is that the couch is a couch bed and not very comfortable, but the rocker was nice.
