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

MaryRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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!!!!).

NEW! 18 Acres, Hot Tub AND Petting Zoo?

LisaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

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

MarianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

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!

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.

Anglers Cottage-Fishing! Middle Fork of New River

JoshRating, 5 stars17 months ago
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!

SusanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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

Spacious 2BR Waterview | Hot Tub | Fireplace

AndrewRating, 5 stars9 months ago
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.

14 Acres, Top of Mountain, secluded not isolated!

DianaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!
