We also brought our dog and the fenced in backyard is huge and a great area to let dog play. We were already looking up re-renting this place while still staying. Fingers crossed this house is available for our next stay in the mountains! ##### Mason C.

My girlfriends and I get together annually to celebrate Christmas together with our kids. We are App grads, so we decided to head up to Blowing Rock/Boone this year. This house was PERFECT! The layout is super spacious and all updated. All of the amenities were provided, and the location is second to none! We didn’t have to get in our cars ONE time all weekend because it’s within walking distance to everything! The property managers were very communicative (we had a minor issue with trash and they responded within an hour!)…. There are somewhat lengthy, rock stairs leading up to the house, so if mobility is an issue this may be a concern; overall I would highly recommend this house and will stay here again! ##### Juliet G.
