The owners are very attentive to any questions and are very responsive to email queries. The rural location is peaceful and the gazebo is a bonus for relaxation. Although rural, Boone, Blowing Rock, and West Jefferson are a short drive away. For us it was a great location from which to enjoy a daily commute to MerleFest and then relax after the music festival. Not knowing the status of dining, hours, staffing shortages, etc., as the pandemic lingers, we enjoyed the well equipped kitchen.
