Sugar Ski Townhome - 4 Ensuites - Slopes/Tubing
Levi was a great communicator - location couldn't be better. This property is closer to the lift line and tubing hill than a lot of the parking lots for the mountain. It takes about 2 minutes to get to tubing and 4 minutes to get to the lift, really really really convenient. Having 4 bed rooms with 4 bathrooms was great, place is clean, kitchen has everything you need. Highly recommend, I will be staying here again in the future.

Comfortable Condo on the Lake
We stayed for 2 1/2 weeks. Great location. Nothing we needed was more than 15-30 minutes away even though some destinations were in other towns. Condo was clean and quiet. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

Central, Walkable, Stylish Apartment
Amazing place, modern look, peaceful. A big plus to having an EV charger. Definitively recommended and we would stay here again.

When Pigs Fly Farm
Thank you for a fantastic stay! Listing is detailed and reflects the space accurately. Despite the challenges WNC is still facing concerning hurricane recovery, Kelly went above and beyond to provide a comfortable, attentive and thoughtful stay. The space is well organized and laid out, free of clutter and provides all the comforts needed for a great stay. I visited during the off season so the outdoor spaces were not yet in bloom but I can only imagine how beautiful things are in bloom. Ample area and space to lounge and connect with nature, local recommendations and a perfect balance of privacy and accessibility to local fun. I highly recommend any guest check out the Hearth Glass and Gallery (sign up for a class if you can) and Maryland Earth to Sky Park - both are stunning places. Thanks again!

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
We had a great stay!! Everything was just as described! Perfect distance to sugar and beech for skiing! We hope to be back soon!

Boone Lake Retreat
absolutely beautiful place to stay, this is the second time we have stayed here and will continue to come back again and again. game room and fishing on the lake is a huge hit!! 10/10 recommend

Cozy Creekside Cottage in the High Country
Best family vacation we’ve had! So good our son is set on us moving to the mountains and building an identical house near a creek lol! Tara’s home was so comfortable and well stocked. We all felt right at home pretty immediately. There are neighbors on either side and across the way, but it still feels very private. Overall, I think it’s safe to say this will be a house we would love to rent time and time again. Thanks for such a great space!

Granny's House
Very cozy, everything we needed, will come back if in the area again!

Skipping Stones Getaway - Watauga Lake Dock & Hot
We had a truly wonderful stay at Skipping Stones Getaway with our family of five. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat—surrounded by beautiful views and the kind of quiet that instantly helps you unwind. Christie and Donaven have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). From extra phone charging cables to those little items you might forget to pack, it was clear they’ve put a lot of care and attention into making guests feel at home. We spent our days out on the lake kayaking, soaking up the calm and beauty of the surroundings, and our evenings enjoying quality time together around the fire. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Skipping Stones Getaway is the kind of place you want to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories in a truly lovely setting.

Moss Creek Waterfront Cabin Boone Perfect Location
I have traveled all over the world using Airbnb and I can absolutely say this was by far the most beautiful, and relaxing place I have ever stayed. The atmosphere was cozy, quiet and so charming. Sean and Crissy have thought of everything you could ever need for a wonderful stay. I look forward to many visits here.

'Got Rocks' 1 acre on Watauga River w/ Gazebo
Another great Winter stay at Got Rocks! We’ve stayed here many times before and we’ve always enjoyed the proximity to the things we enjoy nearby such as skiing, wineries, groceries, restaurants, etc. there is lots of space to spread out, and everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals whenever we wanted. Thanks again Wesley for letting us use your place!

By a Mountain Stream! Creekside Comfort, Hot tub
My husband and I stayed for a month at the house and absolutely loved it. It was peaceful and beautiful with the music of a rushing streamf filling the house everyday when we opened up the French doors. It was refreshing to see that the house actually matched all of the photos and the amenities that were listed. It was great to have a grocery store and a restaurant within 15 minutes of the house. we loved it so much. we're going to come back again next year.

Angel's River HideAway (Riverview & Easy Access
My wife and I have enjoyed stays at many B&B properties located across the US. Without a doubt, Angels Hideaway is now our favorite…We didn’t want to leave! So peaceful, beautiful, very clean and comfortable. We can’t wait to come back! :-)

Lakefront Sunrise Deck w/ Boat Slip, Washer/Dryer
Renee's place was a gorgeous haven in Johnson City during our time at the National Storytelling Festival--the home away from home, with a stunning lake, exactly what we needed. Everything was exactly as advertised, only a 20 minute winding drive from Jonesborough, but you never wanted to leave when you saw the sun meet the horizon and reflect across that glassy water. Thanks so much, Renee, we had such a wonderful time revisiting Appalachia.

Chapel Cove Lake Condo
Such a great stay!! Super convenient location and the host was super responsive and accommodating. The condo was so clean and fresh, with really easy check out instructions. We’re already planning to book again!!

Enjoy Mtn Life! Ski/golf/bike from your doorstep
We throughly enjoyed our stay! Loved how close the Ski lodge and lifts were. Loved having a bathroom in every room. The only thing that it needed was maybe a booklet of things to do and and instructions on place, some older ppl like a hard copy!!!

Serenity -Five Star Condo w/ Tranquil Stream Oasis
We loved Serenity. It was the perfect place for my son and I for 4 days of skiing. It is really close to the base of Sugar Mtn too. I’d recommend doing car drop off if you’re carrying skis and in boots. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. We had a blast!

Charismatic Condo in the Cove
Stayed here for a weekend softball tournament in Johnson City. Location was fantastic and the neighborhood was calm and peaceful. The unit was clean and tidy and there were tons of amenities available for us. The beds were comfy and the house felt like home. Would stay again!!

A Charming and Comfy Condo in Johnson City
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo located in Gray Tn. We were in the area visiting a family member in the hospital. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone! It was clean and very quiet. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were spotless! I would stay here again when in the area. Thank you Eric for providing a safe place to stay.
