Very happy with our stay

Room was nice and spacious, bed was comfortable. Room was very quiet. Balcony was big and spacious and the view was great. The only thing that wasn't great was that the shower ran out of hot water. Check in employee was very friendly.

My stay here was very pleasant ! My room Was very clean and cozy with enough space for four people. It was very quiet, I didn’t hear much noise outside. I think it was cool that the place was off a steep cliff. The staff was very friendly and even allowed me to check in at 11 am instead of 4 which I appreciated since I flew on and drove 3 hours . Would recommend

The heat unit was extremely loud & we could not sleep. Called office & complained & asked to be moved to different room. He acknowledged the heat unit needed replacing but could not move us they were sold out. Offered space heater. It was 29 degrees outside & it did not keep us warm. Asked for refund & were denied. Room was clean but loud. Will not stay here again.

This place was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for! We love to visit Boone, NC and Blowing Rock, NC to hit up our favorite places. This was the perfect spot because it was close to shopping downtown and close to where we go. the view was amazing especially with the Christmas lights! We definitely will be coming back next year for our yearly adventure!! Thank you for being such an amazing place!
