We had a great stay at this cabin. There is an awesome porch where we enjoyed our morning coffee. There is a gate on the porch which makes it easy to enjoy with your dog.The hill to the cabin is paved and easy to navigate. Great location-we enjoyed hiking at the close by Jefferson state park and enjoyed the nearby downtown.

We enjoyed the outside deck the most on this trip. Thanks for allowing dogs, and for having a gate on the deck so she could hang out there with us safely. Lots of great hiking in the area, we went to Mt. Jefferson twice, as well as Paddy Mountain and New River State Park.

Great Family Weekend at App State Students

We had a wonderful stay this weekend with our two girls who attend App State. Only 30 minutes to Boone and away from all the traffic! The cabin is beautiful and very relaxing. A great time spent with our girls where we could make them a home cooked meal and relax on the porch with the fire pit.

A breath of fresh air

We had a wonderful time this weekend with family at your cabin. This is our second stay and we can not thank you enough. It was just what the Dr ordered for all of us. A peaceful, beautiful cabin in a gorgeous location! Close to downtown West Jefferson and Boone. Our girls go to App and it is the perfect location to be away from the Boone traffic but an easy drive to get to campus. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

This cabin was one of my favorite places we have stayed! It was very clean and comfortable. We loved it and can’t wait to come back. The location is very convenient to the city but you still feel like you are secluded. Also, we were able to get Door Dash delivery on the night of our arrival so we didn’t have to run back out to get food. We are looking forward to coming back here again.

The host was extremely welcoming and made the booking and check in process very simple. The cabin was beautiful and was packed with all of the creature comforts to make it feel like home. The cabin is secluded enough to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee on the wrap around porch but very close to town for restaurant and shopping activities. The gas fireplace, fast wifi, and pet friendly nature of the property make it an easy choice and somewhere we would certainly stay again.
