We had a lovely stay while visiting the area. The location is great, central to everything - grandfather mountain, sugar and beech mountains, banner elk and Boone. The neighborhood is cute and has a lot of nice trails/ hikes around. The house is better than what you see in the listing - loaded with amenities and has lovely views. Zen room and the game room was the biggest hit for us. The communication was smooth and we look forward to coming back. ##### Lisa H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janelle L. 23 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous home with tons of amenities! This house is a gem! Incredibly beautiful with thoughtful touches. I loved hanging out in the zen room while the kids were in the room meant just for them! Great location, loaded with amenities, well stocked kitchen, coffee bar, and so much more. The host is very understanding, accommodating, and has thought of everything we might need during our stay. We have booked a ton of vacation homes - this was definitely superior & our favorite. Our trip was short, so we feel like we did not get enough of it. We are for sure coming back during ski season to enjoy it more, especially the game room and the 3D media in the loft. Cannot wait! ##### Janelle L.
