| We just returned from a wonderfully, relaxing vacation at High Country Hideaway. We have never stayed in a home before that was so well equipped for everything! Everything was perfect-a First Class vacation home. This beautiful home even included spectacular views. Thanks, Ken, for sharing your awesome home with us. |

We can all say that our first visit to the mountains was one of our best vacations yet and your home was a huge part of that!! Your home is very comfortable from the moment you walk through the doors and what we saw in the pictures is exactly what we walked into....beautiful!!
When we arrived at the cabin it was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was! We have always rented homes at the ocean and have been in the habit of bringing many kitchen items with us, we soon realized for your home we over packed!!
We were able to have the grandparents for the first two days and the house was perfect for my mom who does not do stairs very well, she was very mobile and comfortable! For the weekend we had 4 adults and 4 children and everyone had plenty of space for fun and lots of laughs!
Thanks again for making it a great experience from the first moment we contacted you! Especially with all the information you offered before we even left home! We are all excited for another trip back in the winter!

| Our family had a great time at the beautiful cabin. After sight seeing during the day we looked forward to sitting on the porch at night until sunset. Then some of us would go inside for a game of pool, or a movie on the big screen tv, while others enjoyed the hot tub. Mornings on the porch were great too. Beautiful weather and scenery! Hated to leave. |

| What a wonderful surprise...you never know from a picture what the house really looks like but this exceeded our expectations. The house had everything we could possibly need or want...from a 72 inch flat screen TV and hot tub to martini glasses. The house was very clean too. It looked as if this was a vacation home for Ken too. |

This is a beautiful home in the mountains, a perfect place to be accessible to sightseeing, shopping, & outdoor activities, and also in a location to just get away & enjoy a beautiful, peaceful setting in a very comfortable, home-like atmosphere. The
people in the neighborhood & the sur-
rounding town are very friendly, and there is much to see and do. This is the perfect vacation spot, wonderfully relaxing. The scenery will take your breath away, and the mountain air will
lift your spirits unbelievably. The only down side was that we couldn't stay
there forever. This is as close to heaven as any of us will be in this life!

| As ASU grads, we have been coming "home" to Boone with our family for years. This cabin has been, by far, the best place to stay. The location is perfect. It seems like the middle of nowhere, but it's only about 10 minutes to the 105/421 intersection in Boone, and 15 minutes to Blowing Rock. We wore the kids out at Appalachian Ski Mtn. one day and Hawksnest the next, made spaghetti dinners one night, steaks the next, and put the kids to bed. The best part... the adults could stay up, talk, watch a movie, or play pool with no worries about waking the little ones. And the hot tub on the deck, what a great way to wind down. You can't do that in any of the hotels in Boone or B&B's in Blowing Rock!! I would definitely recommend to anyone from a group of adults getting away, to families with small kids. We had 8 people which included 4 kids aged 5 to 8 and had plenty of room. The house was spotless when we got there and the owner was extremely quick in returning the deposit. Great, great vacation!! |

| GREAT house!! We rented this house for a long weekend in January and it is better than the ad. Beautifully decorated and in a prime location close to several different ski resorts. This is a great place for a big family or several diffent couples. It has three different levels which allows lots of space for everyone. Will be back next year for sure! |

As for the cabin. It was perfect. It was very clean. The man that was there to fix the hottub did so fast and was very nice to our sons (that just had to see what he was up too). There is nothing that I can think of that would make that a better trip. We never left except to go buy food to make dinner. I had everything I need to make all meals so it was great. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome cabin with us. we all looking forwarding to coming again some time soon. Thanks so much!!

| We loved the cabin!! Our family and dear friends of ours rented the cabin for Thanksgiving 2008. The cabin was well furnished with plenty of games and activities for everyone. Would highly recommend. Realtor was very helpful and responsive. A great experience!! |

| The 4 "P's" - Perfection / Peaceful / Playful / Privacy. The accomodations were comfortable and relaxing. Easy morning coffee. Enjoying cocktails at 4:00 on the decks after "lots-to-do" day. We cooked in every night(great fully-equipped kitchen)and enjoyed dinner by a romantic fire. Hottub views of the stars made for a dreamy sleep. Ken, thanks for sharing your little bit of heaven. |

We have spent many weekends at this beautiful home. The accommodations are top notch. The owner's attention to detail to ensure that the experience exceeds all expectations is remarkable.
The vew from the deck is amazing. I suggest a dip in the hot tub before retiring for the night.
Thanks - perfect as always!! |

| This home is everything it says and more. It is a rustic mountain cabin with a wood burning fireplace. The cabin is well designed if you are looking for a family get away. The main level has your kitchen, living room and two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath. Excellent for parents and their children to stay on one level. The master is upstairs with a sitting area to read, play chess or surf the net for those who just can't leave it behind. The lower level has the pool table, darts and a separate bedroom. This is a great house for a family get together. My daughter and I love to cook and the kitchen is very well equipped. You will not be disappointed with the tranquility of sipping your morning coffee in a rocking chair on the balcony. You're going to love it. |

My family stayed at the cabin to celebrate our aunt's 50th birthday, and had a great time! The cabin is a tremendous value, every couple had their own room, the kitchen and dining room was well stocked and the washer/dryer was a nice touch. The pool table and big screen tv were great, and I can just imagine how nice it would be in the fall/winter in this cabin.
There is plenty to do in the area, we went golfing a few times (Red Tail in Mountain City, TN -- very nice!), whitewater rafting on Watauga River (great for families with kids), and rented a pontoon boat on Watauga Lake. We also visited the local towns and Grandfather Mountain.

| Our stay at this cabin was great. It was very clean and well stocked. We were able to enjoy this with our grandchildren. We went to Mystery hill and to blowing rock. We also did some shopping at the wonderful Tangle outlets. Can't wait to go stay again. |

| My family and I just returned from spending a wonderful week at this cabin. The cabin is very centrally located, but at the same time nicely secluded. The cabin is very nicely furnished and clean. We enjoyed our visit very much and hope to return in the future. |

| This is a wonderful place to stay! We completely enjoyed our time at this clean, comfortable cabin. The view was great, location was quiet, plenty of room and all the amenities you need for a perfect vacation. The front porch was especially relaxing...a great place to just relax, read a book or talk. We had 12 people (6 adults and 6 kids) and this property provided plenty of space for everyone. The location is perfect; a short ride to Boone in one direction, or a short ride to Blowing Rock and the BR Parkway in the other...lots to do. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a mountain vacation. |

| This is truly a gem. I stayed here with my family for a long weekend and it was fantastic. The foliage views in the fall are outstanding and it's close to all the attractions. Cabin was impeccable and well decorated as a true luxury mountain cabin. Nothing like sitting in the hot tub over looking the mountains. |

This vacation rental was true to its description online. There is such a peace and warmth felt the moment you walk through the door. Time actually slows down. My entire family of ten had plenty of privacy when needed, and plenty of room when everyone was gathered together for games and eating. The fireplace was never without a blazing fire and what fun it is to sit in the Hot Tub while the snow is falling. Rocking chairs and every type of swings are available while enjoying the wrap around porch as one enjoys the spectacular mountain view. Ski resorts are just a short drive away and the town of Blowing Rock is a five minute drive from this gated community. Wildlife in abundance such as deer and wild turkeys can be seen as you drive up the mountain to this cabin. This vacation was a dream fulfilled and we will surely visit this retreat again.

| We had a Wonderful Vacation at the cabin/house in Boone with our children and grandchildren. The game room downstairs was the hit for the kids and adults. Loved the hot tub even though it was cold. We had loads of space for us all with 6 adults and five children from 12 to 5 months it worked fine. We had a nice big dining table and we spent plenty of time there also. The fireplace was great!! A great place for a family get together. This was our gift to our 2 boys and their families. We even had a little snow. Great place and Highly recommend. |

My husband and I are ASU grads from 89/90 and
wanted to take our 6 and 2 year old sons back for a
visit. We were worried we would run out of things
to do but this house was terrific. The hottub/pool
table and widescreen tv was perfect at night and
during the rain showers. The house has everything
you could ask for, very well planned out and in a
nice area close enough to boone as well blowing
rock. we took time to visit ASU/Boone and did
some whitewater rafting and trout fishing. We
enjoyed our visit and the house and hope to do it
again next summer. If you are looking for a place
to unwind, relax and not need to go anywhere
unless wanted, this is the place to do it. We even
enjoyed our nightly visit from the raccoon. |

| We stayed at this cabin a year ago when we had my wife's brother come down from NY with there 3 teenage boys. Along with our 2 boys, we needed a bigger place. How perfect this cabin is! We never saw the kids all weekend long. The game room downstairs is very well equipted to keep kids intertained for the whole extended weekend, leaving the upstairs and the hot tub completely free for the adults. Great neighborhood for walks and veiws, very quiet and secluded. Property very well equipted for all your needs. Would highly recommend. |
