Another #hiddentreasure of Appalachia is this view from Vilas Overlook. I managed to snap a picture at the perfect time—the leaves are changing colors, the goldenrod is in full-bloom, and the cloudy sky is covering the hills like a blanket. That’s right—not even the cloudy skies can diminish the incredible view that this is. I found it on my way to Trashcan Falls, and it is up a dirt road. The view was different than other overlooks like Thunderhill and Howard’s Knob in my opinion because this one was nestled right in a residential area. You can even see the house I had to park above to get this shot! Luckily it was a lazy Sunday and nobody seemed to notice I was there—they were all probably napping after church! #appalachianechoes

"The house very comfortable, exactly as listed. The host was very responsive before and during our stay. We were greeted with a birthday card for our son, bubbles for him, and champagne for the adults. I highly recommend this listing to anyone interested! There are lots of things to do for people of all interests around town. The 7 person hot tub was highlight for our family. The home had lots of games, puzzles, and comforts of home. "

"We had a great stay at La Quinta in Boone, NC. The hotel is nice and the suite was great since we were traveling with our teenage son. The free breakfast was excellent and they even had gluten free options. The hot tub was excellent too! "

"The stay was amazing! The view was fantastic and the room was perfect size! The lodge had all of the amenities one could ask for! The on-site spa and restaurant were amazing, the pool and the hot tub were amazing. Only complain I would have were the pillows. My wife and I went for a couple day getaway from our kids. The bed and everything was amazing, the pillows were those long tube-like pillows. In order to sleep well, we had to double up the pillows. Other than that, the stay was fantastic."
