Our niece, her husband, and their 18-month-old daughter joined us for 5 nights. They are serious hikers and wanted to be near some serious hiking trails. The house was easy to find, far enough from the main road that we heard no traffic noise and close enough to the main road that we could be out and around in short order. The view from the house was even better than the VRBO photos. We spent most of our house time on the sun porch. The den was comfortable but it was hard to beat the view from the sun porch. The kitchen was well stocked, and we cooked breakfast and dinner for 5 days. The fridge was roomy and the stove, microwave and coffee maker worked flawlessly. We had more cooking utensils, pots, pans, and dishes than we knew what to do with. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms had large, fluffy towels. The host has a warning sign that the hot water is very hot. She's not kidding, so be careful. We ran several loads of clothes in the washer and dryer and never had a problem.Cellular service is a bit spotty in this area, so we're thankful that the house WiFi kept up with 4 adults during the time we were in the house.Travel time to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, and other attractions is in the 20 to 40 minute range.Our host answered our infrequent messages within 10 minutes. I don't think I've ever experienced a more responsive host. I highly recommend this property.
