Perfect!

The cabin is beautiful and the amenities are fantastic, but there are no words to describe the incredible view from Ain’t Life Grand! Looking out at the mountains gave us all such a feeling of serenity. The huge windows provided a beautiful view even when we were inside. The cabin was immaculate and well-stocked. We stayed at the cabin for most of the trip as we had everything we needed right there for a perfect vacation.

Great cabin, beautiful view

Took our 4 year old twins to this cabin for the 4th of July holiday. Both the cabin and view were amazing. There were so many little touches that made the stay extra special. The kids loved all the toys and getting to make s’mores and we loved sitting back and looking at the Mountain View. We would definitely return!

Fantastic mountain retreat

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties in the mountains of western NC, and this is one of our very favorites. The views are stunning, the house itself is clean, charming, and very well-appointed -- complete with toys and games for the kids, a game room with shuffleboard and foosball, and (most important to the grownups) a VERY well-stocked kitchen. Highly reccomend!

Beautiful home with amazing views

We travel to the NC mountains once a year from Winston-Salem and have stayed in many cabins over the years. Ain’t Life Grand is definitely our favorite with comfortable accommodations, stunning views and lots of little extras provided by the hosts. We had a wonderful time on spring break reconnecting with our grown children and day trips to Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and Boone. Truly enjoyed this lovely property and would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful property with the best views of any. The owners take great pride in anticipating the needs of guests and providing for them. This is an annual trip for us and in most every way this was the best home and owners ever.
