Beautiful property and home. Very clean. We loved being so close to Boone, but also feeling like we were in our own world. We enjoyed hiking around the property and seeing deer.
We had some communication issues. We were meeting in Boone for Thanksgiving, and our goal was to cook/eat a lot of food, watch football, shop online on Black Friday and just hang out with our family of 5. I reached out to owner to find out what I should bring to prep my large Thanksgiving dinner, but didn't hear back for several days, and by the time we got a response (which didn't answer our question), we were already several hours into our drive. Fortunately we grabbed a few things as we left our house, as the kitchen is not well-stocked for meal prep: no mixing bowls/stock pot/serving spoons. Most people will not be fixing a big meal here, but I do think the things listed above would be expected to be in a kitchen.
The other thing that would be nice to have a better understanding of is how poor the Wifi/cellular is at the house. My college kids couldn't upload online assignments, definitely no online shopping, and the streaming YouTubeTV (provided by owner) buffered non-stop, so watching football was difficult at best. The owner said they've tried everything to improve it without success. I wish I had known this prior, as it greatly impacted our goals of this trip.
Also no checkout instructions.
So much potential with location, cleanliness, nice comfortable decor; a few improvements are needed.
