Cozy Cottage-3min 2 main st/firepit/pets/hottub

MaryRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Sweet guest cottage in the mountains. Theme decor is very welcoming and comfortable. Gives rustic chic vibes. Feels spacious. Sofa bed linens and mattress pad made for a v comfortable place to sleep. Two bathrooms and ample hot water and towels. Up a steep hill, choose the one minute longer route up Possum vs Sunset road and it is not as twisty and steep. Probably not a walk to town kind of place due to the hillside perch but close enough that you wont mind the quick drive. We saw deer, bunnies and a bear in the neighborhood. Thoughtful host, lots of nice little touches (S'MORES!!!!).

NEW! 18 Acres, Hot Tub AND Petting Zoo?

LisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Absolutely loved our stay at your home. The kitchen was well equipped with so much room and top notch appliances, truly an entertaining style kitchen where the cook can still be involved with the group. I must add how awesome the heated floors were in the bathrooms, and master bath’s luxurious set up includes a steam area. The home has two sitting areas, one with a grand wood fireplace and the other a gas lit fireplace. Also, to note, just down the road is a farm that includes a pickleball court and in-ground trampoline….along with adorable farm animals. Just a lovely stay. We snowboarded and skied just about every day . Thank you for sharing your home with my family!

Beech Please

AustinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had a great stay and wish we were able to stay longer. Their dryer went out before we got there. They let me know immediately and offered a free cancellation or a partial refund. We took the partial refund and they sent it immediately. Very quick to respond to messages. Gave great recommendations on what to do and where to rent skis from. We went with Fred’s. They were also very accommodating with check out time since there was no one coming in that day. Overall, probably the best AirBnB experience I’ve had.

We had a fantastic stay at Chuck’s place! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect—close to Boone and Jefferson. The host was incredibly responsive. Everything was well-stocked, and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Laurel Hill Mountain Retreat

EydieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Beth was very kind and let me know what to expect. We had a very nice holiday there with our family. We felt like we were staying with family. Thanks Beth! The house is beautiful and the area was very convenient to skiing at Appalachian Mountain. It snowed the day we arrived and it was so beautiful.

Tuscarora @ Yonahlosse

ShannonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
D.J.’s property was extremely clean, looked just as described in the photos, and had all of the necessary amenities + more! We visited during the winter months, and our pre-booked Airbnb was experiencing frozen pipes so we had to find alternative arrangements while traveling. D.J. responded almost immediately and made us, as well as our pups feel more than welcome. This Airbnb is extremely cozy, and in an absolutely beautiful location - especially during snow season. He was extremely responsive, helpful for any questions that I had throughout our stay, and even provided a list of nearby activities/restaurants which was super helpful as we were navigating a new unplanned area. Thank you so much again for hosting us, and we will most certainly be back!

2 Mi to Beech Mtn: Family Retreat w/ Fire Pit

ManiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great home! We booked for a weekend ski trip and loved every second. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Never ran out of plates, utensils, cooking ware. Tons of coffee, tea, and hot coca to top it off. Host made great local recommendations and had a binder full of helpful info. The home was spacious and well kept. In the winter 4wheel is a must but we didn’t have trouble our specific weekend in a 2 wheel truck. You will love this home for your next stay!

14 Acres, Top of Mountain, secluded not isolated!

DianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Judith was a fantastic host and our stay at the crest was amazing! The house is very comfortable and it has everything you could ever need in the kitchen for staying in and cooking! Beds and bathrooms were comfortable and WiFi was great for those that have to work a little while on vacay. And everything was super super clean! Also a great location near so many things to do. Blowing rock and Boone have the cutest Main Street towns!! We had the best family getaway and we even got snow days! ❤️ My only suggestion for future guests is to check the weather before traveling and if it looks like snow, make sure you have a car with 4WD or chains on your tires. Our car was equipped so we didn’t have any issues, but with the snow and ice the roads around the mountain are slippery. Will be back again soon!
