Sugar Ski Townhome - 4 Ensuites - Slopes/Tubing

DaveRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort

SherryRating, 5 stars26 months ago
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!

When Pigs Fly Farm

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Cozy Creekside Cottage in the High Country

AudreyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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!

Skipping Stones Getaway - Watauga Lake Dock & Hot

JolynneRating, 5 stars3 days ago
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.

By a Mountain Stream! Creekside Comfort, Hot tub

BonnieRating, 5 stars8 months ago
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.

Lakefront Sunrise Deck w/ Boat Slip, Washer/Dryer

ElizabethRating, 5 stars18 months ago
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.

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!
