Wonderful home
We had a wonderful week at the Apple Cove Lodge. An amazing home with great views. Karen is wonderful and very helpful. The kitchen was very well stocked and the outside area is wonderful for meals and to relax. There was plenty of space for our group. The kids especially loved the fire pit, air hockey table, darts, and pond across the street. My son was so excited he caught a catfish. A beautiful property and great location. We will definitely be back!

The gorgeous and inviting home was easy to find and close to a lot of things to do! The home was beautifully furnished and had lots of room to spread out plus some cozy nooks for peace and quiet. All the rooms were spacious and perfect, and the kids enjoyed the air hockey and games provided. Thank you a wonderful weekend in the NC mountains! We loved our stay with you!

Mountain Weekend
We loved our stay at Apple Cove Lodge! The house was beautiful with breathtaking views of the mountains. Our group had 7 adults, a 3 year old and a 7 month old and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time. We loved using the fire pit, hot tub and playing air hockey. The boys enjoyed fishing in the pond across the street, which was well stocked. We all sat on the deck as often as we could in rocking chairs. The location was perfect too for short trips to Blowing Rock and Boone. We can’t wait to book this house again next year!

Beautiful Home
My Family rented this beautiful home for the weekend. 8 adults and 3 children were very comfortable. We enjoyed time by the fire pit outside, visited the Mast General store, which was just 5 mins away, and went to cut a Christmas tree from one of the local farms. The check-in instructions offered a gentlemen's number who delivered the fire wood, which was extremely convenient. This house had everything! We will be back!
