Great mountain vacation home. Well stocked and clean

Nice house. No communication from rental agency …. Had to call them on day of check in. Place was clean and exactly as listed. Bathroom on first floor needs to be repaired but other than that great place.

Beautiful backdrop!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will want to come again! Beds were comfy, hot tub was clean, and you really can’t beat the views!! I would suggest bringing grippy socks or house slippers bc the floors are kind of slick.

Peaceful and relaxing

5 of us stayed for our annual girls’ trip. We loved sitting out on the balcony, used the hot tub, visited downtown and a nearby winery (highly recommend!) and hiked the Grayson highlands and saw the wild ponies.

Mountain Thanksgiving with family

The home was cozy and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfy and they had plenty of blankets. It had everything that was on the listing. The only negative was that we arrived at check in time which was 4:00 and they would not give us the code to get in because the cleaning lady was not finished and she was not even there. They finally agreed to give us the code and she came about 5 minutes later. She was pretty friendly.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at Bluff Mtn retreat. The property had not been thoroughly cleaned, but upon calling the property manager they resolved the issue. The house was nice and accommodated our party of 9. It is a pet friendly home so there was lots of pet hair, which is to be expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

5 Day Fall Vacation with Fur Babies

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bluff Mountain Retreat is a Wonderful Vacation Rental. It was Clean, Very Comfortable, and Roomy. My Husband and I were able to stay on the Main Level with our 2 Four-Legged Fur Babies (our 2 dogs - Toy Maltese and Shorkipoo). Bluff Mountain Retreat has Wonderful Views from the Big Front Porch and the Back of Home. Bluff Mountain Retreat is in a Very Nice Subdivision. This Rental is within minutes to West Jefferson & Jefferson, and 25 to 30 minutes to Boone. Lots of Wonderful Restaurants to Eat at and Lot of Shops for Shopping within minutes. The Old Barn Winery was also within Minutes. The Kitchen was well equipped to cook a meal there at the house. This Home and views are just as pictured, the Den has a lot of seating and Spacious. The Master Bedroom on Main Level is Spacious and has a King size bed. We have been Renting from Carolina Mountain Properties for quite a while now. Their Rentals are Clean, everyone at the Office is so Nice, Professional, and more than Happy to assist you when needed. We Highly Recommend Renting from Carolina Mountain Properties. We will be renting again in the near future.

Hot tub was slimy

One of the main reason we selected this property for our trip to Boone was the hot tub. When opening the top flap, there was a clear scent of algae, or a swampy smell. Even after turning on the bubbles that didn’t change anything. The surface underwater felt slimy to the touch. The water was ever so lightly green? We were very disappointed with the state of the hot tub. Saturday around 5:30 PM was when we discovered this issue, and we called the rental property phone number which led to voicemail. We left a message and but we never received a call back. Overall, very disappointed with our stay as this was the main perk we were looking forward to, and we couldn’t even use it, even though we had to sign a rental agreement prior to the stay, and the cleanliness of the hut tub was explicitly listed in the contract. Would mot recommend this place

Comfortable cabin with beautiful views

We just finished a three night stay at Bluff Mountain Retreat and had a great time. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated, had a well equipped kitchen, and provided the perfect amount of room for our family (three generations staying for the weekend). The beds were all very comfortable and we appreciated the ceiling fans in each room. The gas logs were nice and the view from the front porch and hot tub were beautiful. Hot water was plentiful for our party of 7. The property had carbon monoxide detectors. The small game room and selection of games was also popular. Bluff Mountain is easily accessible and convenient to West Jefferson. A couple of things that are good to know: the floors are real wood and are slick if you’re wearing socks (bring some slippers or socks with grippers if you feel the need); it’s windy in this little corner of the world—like rattle the windows at night windy. The wind didn’t bother us but it was a bit of surprise. The driveway is steep; it was easier for us to use the second entrance at the back of the house. The downstairs bedroom now has been updated since the picture; it now has two twins pushed together to make a king bed. Overall we’d recommend Bluff Mountain and would definitely stay there again. If you enjoy hiking, Mount Jefferson, Elk Knob, and Grayson Highlands are our favorite places close by or relatively close by that offer moderate hikes with great views and aren’t too crowded.

Great family getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is perfect for families, with sleeping areas spread out for privacy and quiet. The view is beautiful and the home is clean, inviting, and well equipped. Management response was excellent; the washing machine had a problem and they had someone out to fix it that same day. We couldn’t have been happier with our trip. We also loved West Jefferson, it was our first time there.
