Arriving, it was obvious they were doing some construction which was understandable but definitely a little confusing to maneuver. The area was convenient as we stayed here to snowboard at Sugar Mountain which was really close. The rooms were pretty with a fireplace etc. BUT there were little cockroaches. One in the dishwasher, the entrance, and when we turned on the kitchen lights, we saw three scurrying away which was gross. I closed all my luggages on a higher shelf as to not worry about them in my belongings. It’s such a shame because it was a great property. If this issue wasn’t present, then I would’ve been happier with my stay.

Room was great a little worn from ski equipment going in & out but kitchen, bedroom & bathroom were great. Looks like they are in the middle of upgrades/ construction. 5 minutes to town. 5 minutes to ski resort. Nice

Great location, great mountain views, close to attractions and downtown. The room was nice and accommodating. Customer service needs improvements. When we walked in the lady at the front desk did not greet us or wait on us for a few minutes (nobody else was checking in). Finally, when we got help the lady didn’t know how to check over our online reservation and yelled to the manager in the back office to come out for insistance. We would come back, but please sharpen up the customer service skills.

The room was spacious and comfortable. The building we stayed in was recently renovated. The property is currently building a new clubhouse with indoor/outdoor pool. Great location for visiting Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Beach Mountain and Boone.

Unfortunately, we had a condo that had an adjoining condo through a very, very thin, paper thin, metal door. The neighbors had about 10 people in their condo, 2 young children and 1 baby. Very, very loud group. 1st night, partying until 11:30. Could hear just about everything for the 3 days/2 nights.!!!

Too short a visit
Lovely facility. Rooms were clean, well layed out and complete in terms of appliances etc. we should have stayed longer. The village should also improve as roads are being repaired and upgraded and a large new building is under construction.

Great Location
Location is great for our planned activities. The space is good but a little dated. The staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. We had a problem with water pressure but that turned out to be a property-wide issue and not anything they anticipated.

Not as advertised
The condo was very dated and worn down. There was a huge water stain above the kitchen table the popcorn ceiling was falling down. Also in the upstairs bathroom floor there was a large soft spot in the floor and it sank every time you stepped on it. The ceiling fan makes a awful noise when on. The property was under renovation. The pool was under construction. None of this was mentioned in Hotels website or the resorts.

Peaceful and quiet location
We got there really late thankfully the security was able to get our keys for us and we were able to complete our check in the next morning. There are activities on the property and close by. We had a good time. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Any thing we asked for it was delivered to our door quickly. I would definitely recommend this property

The property was excellent! Some of the bathroom fixtures need replaced and the water pressure was very low. But, it was very clean. We loved the putt putt and basketball. Only issue was taking the trash to the enclosed trash receptacles. I could not get it open. But was rescued by a very nice maintenance man, who I give a 5 stars he was very helpful and kind! I was told they are planning to add instructions to opening of the trash receptacles.

My biggest complaint is since my stay in February, their main office has been hounding me by phone with some type of offer. I wouldn't stay there again due to their aggressive marketing policy. On the most recent call I asked to be removed from their list. We shall see. Regarding the property, I didn't like that the 1BR unit was 2 levels. Tiny living room was on the first level, everything else downstairs.

Ok in some ways-but not luxurious...
Spaciousness and view the best things. Amenities were VERY limited, and when some yahoo rode by oou patio on some kind of ATV for an unexplainable reason at 8AM the morning after we arrived- that woke us up. 'Popcorn and a movie' the following night was equally disappointing. Yes, the movie played, but no popcorn offered, and the latte machine near that area didn't work. Staff was friendly and as accomodating as they could be, but this place is still a work in progress.
