Plenty of room
We have a family of 16 and was enough room for us (4 under) however I would suggest they get a new house keeper. They they verified through email that there was a “crib” but it was a pack and play in the garage that wasn’t in what I thought was clean condition.

Family Vacation 2024
Overall it was a good stay. There were some issues with the house, some of the things that were advertised were not working such as fireplace being out of gas (came the day we left to refill), 1 shower did not work and pull out sofa was broken among other things. Three of our grandchildren had to go to doctors when we got home, they broke out in a rash from the bacteria in the hot tub. The owners were really nice when I reported our issues and we were told they would look into it and get back with us. We have not heard back.

App State Graduation Weekend 12/22
This was the perfect location for celebrating our daughters’ graduation from Appalachian. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and provided ample space for my extended family. We were impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials as well as the seating areas in the kitchen and dining room that could accommodate large groups. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is planning a visit to Boone.

Beautiful and spacious cabin
Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountainside Vilas. The cabin was very comfortable, spacious and well maintained; it had a very secluded feel despite being in close proximity to Boone for shopping / restaurants. Host communication was great - from reaching out to make sure we were able to find the cabin as we arrived a bit later than expected to quickly resolving and keeping us informed with updates when an unexpected issue with one of the air conditioner units occurred. The hot tub and pool table were nice additions to have. We’ll definitely look to stay here again when we next visit the area!

Mostly everything was perfect!
The house size was great! It offered everything we asked for. However it’s really a 4 bedroom-not a 5 bedroom house. The loft beds offer zero privacy! The hot tub- small but that’s ok- would have been great but was filthy when we checked in. Called the property manager and he did come and put chemicals in it- two days later! So we did enjoy the hot tub our last night’s stay. The house was somewhat clean upon arrival…. The cleaning crew was still there when we arrived so we didn’t get into the house until 4:25 or so. No problem there, really. But one of the guests found his TV remote control under the bed, along with a years worth of dust. Also many of the lights had burnt out bulbs. We mentioned this also to the property manager but we never received any bulbs for replacement. Then the trash…. The previous renters left all their trash! All of it! And even though it was in cans it wasn’t bagged, as requested! So we did the right thing with our own trash and bagged it all. But we had nowhere to place it as both cans were full! So we did what the previous people did and left the trash bags out front of the garage, next to the full bins!! Other than those complaints, the house was perfectly sized for our group, had all the kitchen appliances we needed, and really was beautiful! Perfect number of bathrooms as well! Really a nice place to stay!

Winter Wonderland
This was a semi-last minute family trip in search of snow with a scenic cabin. This place delivered, 8 inches of snow our first night. Sleds on property, kids were in heaven. Cabin was beautiful and the perfect size for our family of 12. Well supplied kitchen for cooking big meals ever night. Centrally located for tubing, skiing, ice skating, and snowboarding. Hot tube was a great bonus, with great views. Was a great experience, would definitely come again!

Annual Christmas tree weekend
The home was decorated beautiful for the Christmas holiday. It was very comfortable and we liked the main floor layout. Note- this is a 4 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home. It is advertised as a 5 bedroom 5 bath which is misleading. We had 5 couples and since there was only 4 bedrooms one of our couples has to sleep in the open loft.

Thanksgiving Stay
We had a large group of 13 stay for Thanksgiving, and the layout and size of the cabin were perfect. There are two bedrooms upstairs, 1 bedroom on the main floor and two downstairs. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out, and we could spend time together without feeling like we were right on top of each other. The location was convenient to downtown Boone while still giving you the feel of being in the mountains. Cabin was very clean and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely hot tub, great views, and great hosts. Easy to communicate with when the fireplace didn’t work. Definitely a steep driveway and one really needs 4wd in the slow. It was an easy drive to the sights on the blue ridge parkway and to town.

A white a Christmas
Our family had a blast here and had plenty of room to spread out on 3 floors. I saw so many reviews about the driveway we were nervous but it was nothing. It’s gravel and not all of us had 4wd but made it up fine. Leaving was more tricky because we had 4-5 inches of snow. Several of us got to sled (on a neighboring property) as this yard is very steep. The house was cozy and decorated for Christmas which gave the feel we hoped for. We would rent again. My only complaint would be the hot tub was dirty (big pieces of debris on the bottom) so we didn’t get to use that but that seems like the cleaning crew being lazy. The family that stays downstairs should be hot blooded as it’s much cooler in the basement than the top two floors.
