Little Red Hen
- AC units in neither of the downstairs bedrooms worked properly - No indication that the property was so close to a major highway, in fact the pictures gave the feeling of being more out in the country - The hot-tub had dead leaves on the bottom. Not sure if they were left from the previous tenants or someone local had used it.

Cute but dirty
This is a very quaint, old house in need of a new cleaning crew. Vacuumed up several critters, dust bunnies and cobwebs myself, before I could put kids to bed. Table top, fans and window AC units were filthy. Both the owners and management company were aware of our cleanliness complaint, but chose to ignore it and stand by their cleaning company instead. Just because they had time stamps from when they cleaned the house does not mean they cleaned the house well! Owners would do themselves a favor by walking through...one look at the walls and ceilings, and they wouldn't be able to miss the dust. Grounds were beautiful and kids loved exploring outside. 4 bathrooms but only 1 stand-up shower. More like camping than vrbo-ing.

Location was great lots to do in the area
The pictures advertised were deceiving The living room was very small. The chairs in living room needs to be updated, the stove needs to be updated, all the bed mattresses need to be updated, all the beds very uncomfortable.

Excellent location with charming house
We stayed for a quick weekend getaway and celebration of my youngest’s thirteenth birthday. We had my parents, my husband and I, and three kids ages 17, 17, and 13. We loved the town and area. The house was charming for sure and would be lovely for when the weather allows for spending time outside. The house is not great for those with mobility issues as the stairs outside don’t have railings and the bathrooms require stepping into high tubs and using a handheld shower upstairs. The beds upstairs were pretty hard. And it took a while to get the house warmed up thanks to the unexpected cold snap. But once we found all the thermostats and figured out how to turn on the fireplace, it eventually warmed up. Great place for young families.

I stayed here for a holiday. The property was just as mentioned. There was a minor issue during check- in due to a communication issue, but the property owner did a fantastic job resolving any concern that I had. We had a great stay.

Awesome Place to Unwind
Took our son to tour App State and stayed here for the weekend. Great place to stay and unwind from busy world. Sitting on the porch listening to the creek roll by, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting s’mores at night, catching trout in the creek, or just hiking make this the perfect place. The only problem we had was not wanting to leave. We will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Weigh the Pros and Cons
Our overall weekend was great and our experience at the property itself was okay, but it came with a few pros and cons that we think are important to know: PROS: -The hot tub was awesome and felt very new. -The house is full of character and the owners clearly put a lot of time and effort to make it cozy/comfortable -The fire pit -There was a lot of space indoor and outside. We were a group of 2 couples and 2 children, and there was more than enough space. We could have had another family join us and still wouldn't have felt cramped. -The beds were comfortable -The house was well-stocked with kitchenware -The washer and dryer (also very new) were nice given that we did a lot of hiking -Close to grocery stores and places to eat -Not a bad distance from Boone, Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, etc. CONS: -The house was cold. Granted, we visited on a cold weekend in the winter, but the house is very old and difficult to heat. The owners did a lot to help (there are space heaters or gas heaters in most spaces), but staying warm was still a challenge at times. We were unprepared for this and would have brought slippers, long sleeves, hoodies, and sweatpants for loungewear had we known. -The house was old, which the owners are very upfront about. It's not a good rental if you're looking for a more modern feel. Creaky floors, some doorknobs that didn't work and therefore doors couldn't shut tightly, etc. -Not great for views. It overlooks a stream, which is nice, but it also looks right out onto a busy highway, a couple of businesses off that highway, and power lines. Overall it wasn't a bad weekend at all. We had a great time, but we recommend you weigh the pros and cons before booking.

Really nice stay
The house was great! It was perfect for our family of four adults and four children. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The kids enjoyed running around the property and exploring the old barns. Most of all they loved the hot tub. And of course our two dogs loved their freedom to roam. We had a wonderful visit!!

Beautifully secluded location yet minutes away from adventures.
My family really enjoyed the features our rental offered. We enjoyed evenings around the fire pit as well as the hot tub. Rocking on the front porch and relaxing with all my family.
