Great mountain getaway!
This property was fantastic! As others have mentioned, the photos do not do it justice! Our family of 10 adults had plenty of room as we gathered for our nephews wedding! Would definitely choose to stay here again. The host, Nixon, was extremely kind and helpful!

Great private and quiet spot!
We stayed here for a family getaway. Really enjoyed the peaceful location. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable for everyone (15 people). They just put in a brand new stove and the grill worked great! We really enjoyed the spacious decks and the hot tub!

Great private retreat in the High Country
We stayed here with four families (7 adults & 8 kids all 12 and under) and had a fantastic long weekend. The mountainside and landscape were exceptionally pristine and well cared for; beautiful streams and views from the large decks. We enjoyed the hot tub quite a bit and just sitting outside basking in the mountain air. It really was a great setup for a large group.

2024 App State Graduation
Our family stayed here for the Spring 2024 App State graduation. We had plenty of room for all 14 of us! Very comfy. Plenty of towels! Recommendations: information needed on how to run hot tub. Lights needed around hot tub for night relaxation and soaks. More lighting in kitchen for us folks that like to cook

Annual Christmas tree trip
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this cabin for our annual trip to get our Christmas tree. We had 16 people total and had ample space. The pictures on the listing did not do the cabin justice. We would definitely stay at this place again. Thank you!!

Everything was great plan do another trip renting this property again.
Plan to rent again in the future only problem was the grill needs to be replaced. Gas line for grill is melted had to go to Dollar General for a charcoal grill.

Overall a lovely space.
We truly enjoyed this tucked away cabin for our weekend getaway. Would have enjoyed more had there been more AC throughout the very large home. Luckily the evenings were cool enough to open windows. All in all it was the right amount of space to enjoy and kid free weekend amd would have worked just a well if we brought the kids. Pleanty of space!

Amazing view!
My family and I had a wonderful time! The property is amazing and our group of 15 were very comfortable. We had a plumbing issue and I texted the owner and the maintenance guy came out right away. After that we had no other concerns just enjoyed our stay! I would recommend this property to whoever wants to be near Boone but high up in the mountains.

Great retreat!
There was a ton of great space indoors and outdoors for large groups. Watching the sun rise over the mountains from the hot tub is a must. There were plenty of linens towels blankets and towels. The oven did not work very well but the toaster oven was a good back up. The gas grill did not work at all. Overall the house was clean. The carpets are old and stained but overall decor was pleasant.

Beautiful cabin with lots of light, large rooms, enjoyed the game room, the pool table is a little rough, nice having a clean working hot tub. We needed instructions on indoor fireplace and the oven was giving us an error, but we did get them both to work. I needed a slow cooker and a blender and they were not provided. We heard Coyotes, seen a mountain Lion,and deer. All in all we all really enjoyed our stay

Very private, and large for a family gathering. Close to Broone, NC, and river tubing that my family did. Home wasn’t the cleanest, and a musty smell. I did leave a tip for the housekeeper. Basement bedroom was nice, but had slugs. I thought the oven would be fix from past reviews. It still works, but on the sluggish side. We loved the neighbor dog paid us a visit. A very nice and friendly dog. Wood pit was great! Landscaping beautiful, and kids having a good time playing pool and ping pong.

Incredible!
I don’t even know where to start. The pictures do NOT do this cabin justice. This place is magical! We had 6 adults and 8 children. The property was perfect for all of us. The yard was great for our Easter egg hunt, plenty of room for the kiddos and adults to explore. Tommy the person who delivers wood is also a great source of information. He has lived in Todd for 63 years. The “neighbors” also have a dog named Boone who would come visit occasionally. We all loved that. Cascade Lane is situated in the middle of pretty much everything. Boone and West Jefferson are only a short 27 minute drive away. I would stay here 1000 more times!!

Lovely home with an unfortunate surprise.
This house was perfectly designed for our annual family vacation. The two game rooms were perfect for our group. Rockers on the porch and chairs by the pond allowed us to enjoy the cool mountain weather in a private setting. Located between Boone and West Jefferson, this location was quite desirable. We were dismayed to discover that the oven did not work properly. It took 40+ minutes to preheat to 375 degrees (which we later discovered was really only 295 degrees) and took more than twice the usual time to cook the meal. We contacted the owner who gave us a “work around” process to try but, basically, the oven was unreliable. (We were sympathetic to his problem of finding a reliable repair person in the area, but that information did not put dinner on the table.). Our “chief cook” was quite frustrated throughout the week. Had we known the oven was an issue, she would have altered her menu plans. She expected that the house would have a workable oven. (There is a toaster oven in the kitchen, but baking biscuits 5 at a time is not an efficient way to get breakfast for 13 on the table.) We would stay here again if we were assured that the oven was operating properly. For those considering renting this property, we encourage you to consider menu choices that can be prepared on the grill, on the stovetop, in the microwave, in a small toaster oven, or do not require cooking. Hopefully this issue will be resolved by next year so that we can enjoy this lovely home again.

Exceeded expectations
I know many have said it already, but the pictures don’t do it justice. This home is huge, we never felt on top of each other and we had a lot of people from toddlers, preteens, teens and adults. Beds were comfortable, place was clean, the location was perfect for a hideout but also close enough to town if needed. We saw deer, it snowed three times, we felt safe and comfortable and the views were spectacular. The only downside was the oven; especially for thanksgiving week. It doesn’t seem to get hot enough and things take much longer than you’d expect. Thankfully we packed slow cookers and air fryers as well - and deep fried our turkey outside :-) You can’t go wrong booking a stay here!

Great place to stay
This house is very clean and has a lot of detail. We really enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. The only dray back was there is no view of the mountains. The trees have grown so much you can see anything. with that being said I would still rent this house again and hope to next year when we return.

Birthday Getaway
The cabin was spacious enough to accommodate everyone. Rooms and bathrooms. Had some dusty areas but overall was clean and comfortable. The grill and upstairs TV's didn't work which was a disappointment. No light hung in the corner where the hot tub is so it can be a little dangerous getting in and out at night. But a beautiful place

Great location and house for weekend fun
The house could use some cleaning, but it was a great option for four families just wanting to get away and hang out together. We had lots of fires in the firepit and the kitchen was well suited for a big group. We had reached out to the owner a couple times prior to going, but received no response. Once we were there the property manager was great! He brought us firewood and attempted to fix one of the washing machines that was broken.

Great cabin!
Loved this cabin! Very cozy welcome with the gas logs burning in the fireplace when we got there. Lots of space for 8 women!! Very well equipped kitchen (pots, pans, serving bowls, plates, silverware, etc. with a large dining room table that sat 8. The lazy Susan was a nice touch. We were glad the drizzle held off so we could enjoyed the outside fire pit. The showers worked well and there was plenty of hot water. We cooked all our meals at the cottage and enjoyed playing cards and games and laughing a lot! *Things that could be improved: 1-The upstairs master bedroom had vertical blinds that wouldn't close and the ensuite bathroom tub and the sink faucet dripped the whole time. 2 - The bedroom on the lowest floor had an odd smell and some gnats. During the night our friend that slept down there could hear a scratching noise in the walls, NOT in the actual room (perhaps a small rodent ?). The 2nd night about 2:00 a.m. she came up to the main floor and slept on the couch because the sound kept her awake. Other than that the cottage was very quiet and the beds extremely comfortable. 3 - The house could use some more wine glasses (only 2). There were lots of juice type glasses but only 4 champagne glasses. Would I return for another visit? ABSOLUTELY! All in all it was wonderful.

Great get away retreat, yet close enough to attractions
We hosted our first church retreat here for our young adults class. The location offered a great setting for devotionals, and spending quality time together as a group. It was quiet enough to get away from the hustle of town, yet close enough to still take advantage of restaurants and attractions. We definitely recommend!

It was a great property for a large group. The WiFi is very, very spotty but I noticed this pretty much everywhere in the area. It doesn’t have central AC, just two units, one upstairs and one downstairs. It did get cool with the windows opened though. Overall great house.
