The 3 stories made it spacious enough where we could spread out. The basement was really nice as a family room with a pool table and games. We look forward to returning. Loved walking down to the river at the bottom of the neighborhood. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a clean nice home in the NC mountains. It was less than 10 minutes to Boone and conveniently located to Todd in West Jefferson. ##### Sandra F.

Almost every day some part of our group tubed the river to the Castle Ford bridge. The cabin was clean, well furnished and the decks offer lots of seating for relaxing even on rainy days. The biggest issue we encountered was that the bottom floor was so cold no one wanted to sleep or hang out down there. However, once we closed off the vents in the ceiling down there it solved the issue and was quite comfortable. We loved having the pool table and second living area for our family to spread out. Be careful with the gas grill. It flamed up something fierce when we tried to use it. It needs a very good cleaning before being used again. (We notified the property manager by email at end of our stay.) It is a 25 minute drive into Boone and there are lots of great hikes within 30-45 minutes. We especially enjoyed the Green Knob Loop on the Blue Ridge Parkway for an easy, beautiful hike with lots of variety of nature to enjoy. Overall we were very happy with the accommodations and location of this cabin and hope to come back again! ##### Julie P.

The layout worked really well for our family to have areas to relax together and have our own private space when wanted. Views were gorgeous. We loved the porches and having a grill. The kitchen has everything needed and more for making delicious meals. Cons- the basement area wasn't thoroughly cleaned. We found remnants of chips, sunflower seeds, hair, and water bottles. Also, we quickly needed to restock the paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, and trash bags. Normally not a huge deal, but definitely an inconvenience given the twisty drive down the mountain. ##### Thomas W. ### 8/10 Good #### Preetha T. 7 Jul 2025 ##### Preetha T.
