| It is a wonderful cabin to get away from everyday life and enjoy the peace and quiet.Our family loved the creek and it snowed while we were there and that is something 2 teenagers from MS have not seen a lot of.Kathe was wonderful to check on us to make sure that we were okay when the cold and snow moved into the area.100 % wonderful and we will be back. |

| I cannot put enough praise on the cabin and on the owners. First, the cabin: the seclusion, the layout, the impeccable quality of everything to do with the cabin from dishes to blankets to furniture are a simple recipe for rest and relaxation. We arrived with an aggressive touring schedule and quickly found ourselves ready to just sit on the porch while the kids explored the vast property. If getting away from it all is what you are looking for, I cannot recommend it enough. Second, the owners made the process as simple as possible. Quick to return correspondence and to answer questions, they are willing to go the extra mile to make your stay perfect. We will be returning soon and often! |

| Wow, what a cabin! My parents, son and I couldn't have asked for more, especially for my dad's birthday. The cabin was very comfortable and clean but needed better reading light. We loved hiking in the woods and playing in the stream. I would recommend this cabin anytime. |

Sleepy Creek Cabin was everything we expected and MUCH, MUCH, more.
We were looking for a week of rest and relaxation, cool nights and NO Bugs.
The cabin had everything for an enjoyable care-free vacation. The books available in the cabin are impressive. The only suggestion for improvement is better ceiling lighting in the living room (for reading). We will vacation at Sleepy Creek Cabin in the future and suggest anyone reading these comments do the same.

| I decided to take my new bride to Boone for her 50th birthday. We absolutely LOVED it. Saturday morning we woke up to snow. How beautiful! My wife said it was the best cabin we've ever rented. It was a perfect weekend. |

| If you are thinking about renting this cabin don't hesitate, it is everything you can imagine and more, we stayed from Feb 7-10 07. Great place for couples to be alone. There is nothing I can say wrong about this cabin, they have done a great job with everything. |

One of my very favorite quotes immediately came to mind when I arrived at Sleepy Creek Cabin. The quote is from Henry David Thoreau. He wrote, "I came to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, and see if I could learn what it had to teach ... and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." How apropos this was ...
Upon arrival, I was immediately far away from the rest of the world and challenges that accompany it. The headache disappeared and I was enjoying a sense of peace and solitude that was a long time coming.
The cabin and surroundings are absolutely perfect. I can see that Kathe and Roger poured out very large heapings of love, sweat and probably tears when "re"constructing this retreat. Nothing was left undone to make it authentic. I can't say enough about the wonderful time we had and hopefully will have in the future.
Thanks for sharing your little slice of paradise with me.

| The entire experience was the most wonerful vacation we have had!! Kathe and Roger did a great job building, decorating and providing us with the "little things"we could need. It was very nice to go to sleep with the windows open and listening to the creek. Since we are from Florida, it was nice to snuggle on the couch with a nice fire as well. I have already recommended this cabin to my co-workers and friends. If you're looking for somewhere to rest, relax and recharge yourself, this is the place to be!! We also got married in the town of Boone, and it was also nice to have our honeymoon there as well! |

It was great. Would not change a thing. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Didn't want for anything. Cabin well built and interesting history. Loved the creek and the front porch. Very relaxing place indeed! Thanks so much for your attention to detail. Would like to stay again in the future.
Thanks again,

| My friends from California joined me for a wonderful retreat at Sleepy Creek Cabin and we had a great time. We also attended the Merle Fest in Wilksboro, a short ride from the cabin. It was always nice to come "home" in the evenings to Sleepy Creek. I will definitely be back. |

| What an incredible time we had at your cabin. Sleepy Creek is so beautiful and we really appreciated how you really made it a home away from home. The kids loved the games and movies and especially making smores in the fireplace. We loved sledding down your driveway on the ice (wow, was that fun!!) We even left the sled for your next guests to enjoy themselves. It truly felt like a winter wonderland and we are definetely already making plans to come back next year!! What an absolutely perfect vacation!! |

| We absolutely loved our stay at Sleepy Creek! It was so refreshing to have our own little spot tucked away in this private and beautiful cabin for a few days. The porch was such a peaceful place to sit and drink coffee while listening to the creek in front and watching the hummingbirds. We loved the clean and cozy cabin and the gorgeous landscaped property. Truly a unique and relaxing vacation for our family. We are so glad we brought our 9 and 6 year olds with us because they loved it and appreciated it's beauty as well. We enjoyed heading into Boone and especially visiting Tweetie Railroad and Grandfather Mountain. |

| What a great family vacation we had at Sleepy Creek! Your cabin is so comfortable and well-equipped and is in the perfect setting with an awesome creek! It was a home away from home. The location of being in the Blue Ridge was great for quick mountain getaways for hiking, picnicing and enjoying the quiet, peaceful scenery, but yet it was very convenient to Boone and some of the other towns and places we wanted to visit.Between the great mountain biking and the creek, our kids were in heaven! We also really enjoyed the beautiful cool mornings and evenings on your porch watching the hummingbirds and relaxing in the rockers. This was our first cabin rental and it was more than we had expected.Your pictures are beautiful, but in person it's even better! We thank you for sharing your special place and look forward to another visit soon. |

| Our family thorughly enjoyed each day at Sleepy Creek cabin. Kathe and Roger were wonderful people to rent from. Exact attention to historic detail has been given to this beautiful authentic mountain home. The kitchen was completely fitted with modern appliances and lovely dishes and cookware. The pictures can only partially reflect the rentals beauty. We would definitely return. |

We just returned from our stay at Sleepy Creek Cabin and it was *wonderful*. Its a serene, peaceful, rustic setting yet the cabin has all the creature comforts you could ask for.
We spent a lot of time on the porch in the morning and evenings--just watching the creek and listening to the peace and quiet.
Our teenagers loved having the loft all to themeselves. The 'neighborhood' roads made for great running and walking adventures.
We enjoyed the nightly battle of the hummingbirds--very fun to watch as they dive bomb and argue over the bird-feeders on the porch.
We also loved sleeping with the bedroom windows open each night ( 65 degrees ) and listening to the creek.
Boone, about 15 min away, is a great--funky little college town. Eat at Macado's! Blowing Rock is good shopping and eating also.
Lots of great trails tucked off the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Grandfather Mountain is a must do. Strenuous but well worth it- hiking.
It was a superb get away from the Florida heat and we would love to return perhaps during leaf season in the Fall.
Enjoy!

| We had a wonderful time at Sleepy Creek. It was a beautiful cabin in a perfect setting. For me, the creek and fireplace were the best features. We hope to get back there someday. |

| We come out to the NC mountains a couple times and year and have stayed at plenty of log cabins. But your cabin was by and far the BEST! The kids played in the yard, the dog loved the creek and my husband and I sat on the porch drank coffee and relaxed. The cabin was so adequately supplied and cozy, I felt like I was at home. But most of all the beautiful wood, walnut flooring and antique decor just what I had in mind for a log cabin. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. |

| I was raised on a farm in the middle of nowhere and in Sleepy Creek Cabin I found a spot to convey that atmosphere to my teenaged sons. I felt at home and at peace there, which is important given the high stress job and urban lifestyle I find myself in now. I know we will all treasure the memories of our all too short escape to Sleepy Creek and I thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat. Allowing my short, furry child (Ozwald, our dog) to join us was a special treat. For anyone seeking a bit of adventure, try scaling Grandfather Mountain.....all of the trials are worth it and the views (near and far) are awe-inspiring. I found out there that I'm raising 2 boys who know how to walk slow and look for the small joys along the trail, as well as rise to the challenge and not give up when a dauting climb is ahead. As the credit card ads say........priceless. Thanks again, we couldn't have wished for a better place to hide out and enjoy each others company and we hope to be back. Perhaps, property shopping :~) R, S, C & O-wald |

My daughter and I stayed in your cabin in June, 2004, for a week. It was so incredibly beautiful and everything was perfect! I started each day in the rocking chair on the front porch listening to the creek and watching the hummingbirds. Plus, your home had every amenity I could have wanted. I could not have asked for a better experience! We stayed in another cabin, in Tennessee, on the same trip and it made me realize how clean and comfortable yours was. Thank you so much!

| We've stayed in numerous cabins in the Boone/Blowing Rock area and Sleepy Creek is at the top of our list for definite repeats. The setting is tucked into a wooded area and beautifully landscaped. The comfortable deck is perfect for enjoying the sounds and sights of the flowing creek. All the amenities are well thought out and nothing is overlooked. The mixture of new and old construction is perfectly blended with the decor and furnishings. The upstairs loft is perfect for children (can sleep 4 nicely) but also beautifully furnished. Our family agrees: 4 thumbs up for Sleep Creek Cabin! |

| Picture Perfect! We had the most awesome time with our children at the cabin. The whole place was covered with snow and was just a perfect setting. It was our kids first time to see snow and we had fun just hanging out at the cabin building a snowman and sleding down the driveway, yard and the roads in the area. The cabin is beautifully kept and everything you need is right at your finger tips! So relaxing! We will definitely be back for another stay. |

Our stay was fantastic! We had originally made other plans for a 2 day quickie vacation, but they fell thru. At the last minute, we found Sleepy Creek cabin. We are SO GLAD that we went there instead! It was delightful. The cabin is gorgeous and well appointed. There was nothing that we could have wanted for. The furniture was cozy, the kitchen fully stocked (including a crock pot!). They even have good movies, books, games, music. The cabin is located in a beautiful forest of rhododendrons and hemlocks, with a wonderful stream.
We did some of the sightseeing in the area, but nothing was as nice as being at the cabin. We were so enamored of the place, that we decided to stay another night.
We will definitely go back when we can spend some more time. |

Wow, I can't begin to tell you how
thrilled we were with it all. What a
charming, cozy, lovely cabin -- really
enchanting. We noticed your
property is situated so perfectly....and
the CREEK!!!! We opened our
window each night to enjoy the
peaceful babbling brook sounds.
We left feeling happy, relaxed, and at
the same time, sad that we weren't
able to stay longer. And, even though
we weren't able to ski, it was
fine....we enjoyed shopping at
Blowing Rock, cooking, reading,
hiking, game playing, movie
watching, music, etc etc...so much to
do. We thank you again for opening
and sharing your terrific place to us.
We loved it so much, we've decided
NC is 'us' and want to take the trip
frequently. |

| We are at a loss for words to describe our week long retreat. Nestled in a hollow with a babbling brook, the cabin looks as if it has been there for generations. We felt as if we had stepped back in time. However, looks can be deceiving. The cabin has all the comforts of home and is tastfully decorated. We couldn't get off the front porch rockers to explore the surrounding countryside. There was no need to go anywhere else! But, if you want to venture off the front porch, there are an abundance of recreational opportunities a short drive away and brochures are provided to help you decide! We plan to make an annual retreat to Sleepy Creek. Maybe next year we'll get off the porch. |

We just returned from a very relaxing weekend at this beautiful cabin, although two nights was not nearly enough. The cabin is beautifully appointed, with a rustic feel but all the "conveniences" of today. The owners have added many little touches that made it cozy and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the sounds of the stream and nature surrounding the cabin. The fireplace was a welcome feature, as the evenings were rather chilly. There was plenty of wood and kindling to get the fire started.
We spent an enjoyable day browsing the shops in Blowing Rock, and an evening checking out the funky college town of
Boone. We had a delicious meal with ambience at the Bistro, and also found good food and a varied menu at the Red Onion (Boone).
We very much look forward to returning to Sleepy Creek Cabin. |

We had a wonderful relaxing week at the secluded "rustic" cabin. By the pictures and the description, it was everything we expected and more. Words can't describe how peaceful it was to sit in the rockers on the porch with the view and the sound of the stream in front of you. Everything was so green and lush with the ferns and the wildflowers in bloom.
The cabin sure had the feel of yesteryear but with all the modern conveniences of today including a well equiped kitchen. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with others. |

| This cabin was a serene retreat from our busy city lifestyle. Everything was SO GREEN! The brook and the rocking chair porch are the best features, and the whole cabin was fresh & clean (lots of hot water and really new appliances). It's really close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, where we stopped along the way to hike the Linville Falls and see the eerie caverns. Loved the cute gift shops in Blowing Rock (only a 15-minute drive); The Six Pence Pub was a good lunch recommendation, with the BEST ice cream shop right next door. One morning we hiked the gravel road through the property (up the mountain on the way out, but easily down on the way back) and met a nice neighbor "walking" the dog via her ATV (all-terrain vehicle). We flushed a wild turkey (by accident), which flew to a higher perch. Would love to visit in wintertime to see it all clothed in white, do a little skiing and light a fire in the cozy den. |
