Paradise Cove
The Paradise Cove is a slice of heaven. Private, quiet, and clean. I intend to stay there again!

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

Beeches be Crazy beautiful home with Mountain View
perfect location from town and to the slopes. The layout of the house was great for 2 families and kids.

NEW! 18 Acres, Hot Tub AND Petting Zoo?
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
What a fun trip and place! We enjoyed all of the amenities Beech Please offered! Our favorite was the hot tub and game room! Highly recommend!

No Storm Damage Secluded Cottage on the New River!
Missy and Ted have a b autufup cabin. We felt right at home and appreciated the homey touches. They were very helpful and responsive when we had issues with the Internet. We got snowed in for a day of our stay and it was heavenly! Thank You!

Cottage w/view mins to Boone & Blowing Rock
We had a great time staying in this cabin! The space was clean and perfect for the amount of people we had. It’s not too far out of town so it was very easy to go to restaurants and enjoy downtown Boone. The cabin felt very peaceful and I would definitely stay here again!

Family Fun; Romantic Getaway @ BlueSpruceCottage
Very conveniently located for a snowboarding trip. Groceries, coffee, and Sugar were all within 8 minutes. The home is spacious and cozy. It is right off the road but there were no noise issues as the street doesn’t seem to get much traffic. Would book again!

Crab Orchard Estate in Valle Crucis w/ Fireplace
We had an amazing time during our stay! The property was absolutely beautiful with plenty of space. The attention to detail was amazing. We made use of the guest house which was also very nice. The chef's kitchen was a wonderful add. Great location. Would definitely go again.

① Pets OK ② 55" HDTV ③ 5min to Blue Rid ③ Fire Pit
Chuck’s home was spacious, cozy, and clean! Side note, we loved the layout/floor plan : ) The beds were comfy and the big bathtub in the master bathroom was an extra bonus. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay. We’ll stay here again next time we’re in the area!

Downtown-Pets-Fenced Yard 5*
Excellent location and such a great cabin experience! Would gladly stay here again.

Laurel Hill Mountain Retreat
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.

William’s Ridge Retreat-Ski/Hike/fenced yard/pets
Rebecca was very responsive and the home was excellent! The gas fireplace had all of us feeling toasty from the cold. Would stay here again for sure!

Inn a Nutshell - Pet Friendly!
Quiet and peaceful. Super tiny home but it was perfect for just me and my pups. It was nice and convenient to have kitchen staples on hand for my three week stay.

Anglers Cottage-Fishing! Middle Fork of New River
The location for our visits to this area is perfect. Close to family and friends who live in the area yet secluded enough for us to still feel like we are getting away. The house had all we needed for a couple of days. The creek and hot tub are so nice.

Views, Near Wineries, Breweries, Hiking, Biking!
My husband and I rented the property for long term. We were moving to Ashe County and stayed at the property while our property was getting ready to move on. Wendy was very accommodating to our needs. She answered any question or concerns we had in a timely manner. Wendy went above and beyond for us. The property is very nice and quiet with lots of different beautiful views. We made friends with the cows in the pasture across from us. There are 3 other properties and all the tenants that stayed in them were so super nice. Wendy really made our stay nice and comfortable

Tuscarora @ Yonahlosse
10/10. The best getaway ever was so peaceful nice fireplace to keep us warm at night. Beautiful view to watch the sunset and rise. Was certainly worth the drive and the stay ! I wound 100% go back again with no doubt.

Rustic, Romantic Getaway at Paradise Cottage in Boone
We had a great stay. Feels tucked away but close enough to both Boone and Blowing Rock. The place was beautiful and the host was very helpful with a flexible check in.

Spacious 2BR Waterview | Hot Tub | Fireplace
This cabin is so beautiful and peaceful, but still a quick drive to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the incredible view on the back porch. The kitchen was fully stocked with amenities and we brought groceries and made all of our meals at the cabin. The hot tub is very clean and relaxing. Lots of cute chipmunks running around! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would happily stay again.

Luxury Wildflower Cottage- Mountain Views
After losing our son at the beginning of the year and then my son in law later in the year, my wife and I and our daughter and granddaughter needed a different Christmas. We enjoyed our Christmas at the cottage and it definitely helped with the healing

Near Sugar & Beech Skiing/Hot Tub/Lees Mc Rae
Perfect for a lovely weekend at Sugar Mountain. Private and secluded. Saw an entire herd of deer walk in front of us. Very close to groceries and banner elk Main Street. We had a lovely time and would definitely rent again.

Chalet in the Wood...Amazing Mountain Views
We enjoyed our stay , perfect location, views are breathtaking , near to restaurants and stores. We went to watch our son play Football, campus was 12 minutes away.

14 Acres, Top of Mountain, secluded not isolated!
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!

Elk Cabin at The Azalea Inn
Perfect stay close to everything. Check in was effortless and easy. The fireplace heated the room up well. The bed was the most comfy one I’ve ever been on. Highly recommend
