We greatly enjoyed our stay! The house is so adorable, from the decor to the outdoor space, everything is extremely well done. The house was easy to find and centrally located for all the activities in Boone, Valle Crucis, and Banner Elk. Appreciated the book of recommendations at the house as well. We’ll be back for sure!

The check-in and check-out processes were very easy, the home was impeccably clean, beds were comfortable, and kitchen was very well stocked with pans, coffee maker, toaster, etc. The description for this home mentioned it was “quiet” and a “10 minute walk to Valle crucis park.” When you’re inside, it is quiet - but outside, it definitely isn’t. The house is directly off of the main road through Valle crucis so there is very consistent traffic. Also, while technically it is a 10 minute walk to the park, you would never actually walk because the road is too busy and doesn’t have a shoulder or sidewalk. Describing the place as “quiet” and “walkable to the park” felt misleading to us. So, if you’re looking for a super clean spot close to downtown Valle crucis and don’t mind the sound of car traffic while you’re out on the porch or having a bonfire, this is a great option. But if you want a quiet place in the mountains with some outdoor space for kids to wander around, this isn’t it.

The house was super peaceful and homey. We loved the front porch bed-swing for reading and napping. We made pizza in the pizza oven one night, can't do it like that at home! Super convenient location close to Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock including the Valle Crucis park and Mast General Store a minute away. We loved our stay and will be back soon, I hope!
