| Really enjoyed this house. There was so much to do. The firepit was great and the sky magnificent. The kids enjoyed all the outdoors activities and we liked it that the yard was fenced in for them. We walked to the river and tubed down it. Great fun. This house was close to everything too. Will come again for sure! |

Glory Mountain was beautiful! Our party of 9 had no problem with space in this roomy cabin. There were many games, areas for sitting, and spaces in the cabin that it was never crowded. The driveway is roller-coaster steep, and we were thankful it was summer. The firepit was awesome and stocked with pokers for marshmellows too! Every amenity was provided for us. The kids room has twice the # of beds shown in the photograph. We recommend the Wahoo kayak trip! Note: The 2 hour trip took us nearly 4.
We all had a wonderful time! Thank you!! |

Homeowner Response:
Actually, this is not considered a steep driveway for this area, very little here in the mountains is flat. But for those considering a winter visit, we do have the driveways plowed during inclement weather.

We had a great time at the cabin- very comfortable. It was perfect for our family as we celebrated our son's wedding this weekend in Valle Crucis!

This was an unbelievable stay for us. We are use to hotels. The view and comforts of a home has been great. Our 1s day here we were sitting out on the deck and saw a deer in the raod at 2pm. This has made us want to biu us a vacation home here. Thank you for all your help with our planning of a wonderful vacation and allowing us to visit your home. Look forward to coming back next year.

| This place is just awesome. We couldn't believe how beautiful the cabin was. As soon as we got there we wished we were staying the whole week. Everything was decorated so nicely. The beds were very comfortable which sometimes is rare in a rental property. Our group never felt crowded and we spent very little time away from the cabin because it has everything you need but if you do want to adventure out then this is a very convenient location. One tip - make sure you do your grocery shopping in Boone because there is not much once you get past downtown and once you get to the cabin you won't want to leave. My group is already talking about making this a yearly or bi-yearly event. Thanks. |

We had a really good 3 nights here. Really nice place to visit is the Blowing Rock. It's cool to see how the winds blow everything back up. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table. The cabin is really nice. Thanks for a great spring break.

We enjoyed visiting this lovely area. Your location and views are glorious- truly! The view from the top of your property is breath taking. It was cold, wet and snowy for half of our visit so we spent a lot of time by the fire, which we enjoyed. We did have 2 days in the 50's and great hikes at Moses Cone Park & a trip to Grandfather Mountain. Did lots of driving & loved the Valle Crucis Nast Store. Sad to leave- we hope to come back.

| Our family celebrated our daughter's graduation from ASU at the cabin in December. We had a wonderful time, the house had something for everyone from our grandson who is 1 to our great-grand father who is 78! We all enjoyed the hot tub in the dead of winter, the kids games, and the toasty gas stove. The kitchen was clean, the beds were comfortable, the three bathrooms allowed the entire family to get ready easily in the morning. Everything was in good working order-especially the heater! Going up the driveway would be tricky if there is a lot of ice and snow as it is quite steep and curvy. I certainly can see why they recommend chains. But the drive up the mountain is really worth the trip. Without any hesitation, I would recommend this cabin and I certainly would stay there again. We made lifetime memories there. |

I really love this house! It is very charming & cozy. We can't exactly see the view yet (we got in very late) but from the mountains we saw snow on our day trip here, it's amazing! When we got closer to this house we saw a deer staring at us in the middle of the road. He looked at us with large brown eyes before sprinting gracefully away. We will hopefully go hiking on the trails tommorrow along with Tuckit, our dog. He turned 1 this June and is a Lahsa Apso crossed with a Bichon Frise! He loved this house, especially the outdoor part!! Thank you so much, I know we will loved staying here!!

| This could not be nicer. I have never experienced such a private and beautiful area. We loved it and cannot wait to get back. The house was so thoughtfully furnished with a presentation that is rare, if not nonexistant, in a rental house. It was like someone invited us to come stay in their home-which is how we treated it as we felt so special. I already have rebooked it for Thanksgiving. Thank you so much! |

We loved this house and everygthing about it. The children did not even want to go anywhere except to the river at the bottom of the road. Everything in the house is nice and with as many people as we had, we did not get crowded either. We love the mix of antiques, mountain articles and new comfortable furniture. Thanks for a lovely vacation, we will be back.

| I have rented many houses that I have been disappointed in or felt like the rental company had zapped up in their description or pictures, but not this house. This house is perfect and the view is so much better than the pictures. Everything about the house is new, comfortable, and well-thought out. Our stay was no where near long enough even though there were 8 of us, we all enjoyed it and never got in each other's way. I especially enjoyed the screened in porch. We slept with the windows open as you suggested and the night noises were just as I remembered as a boy. It was magical. We also heard some russling around in the back of the house one morning and went to see a mother and daddy wild turkey with about 13 babies. They just sat there and looked at us. It was incredible. I highly recommend this house and have already booked our week for next year. GREAT HOUSE!!!!! |

Thanks for the cabin. It is fabulous. We loved the balance between southern antiques intermixed with commodities of modern living. We especially enjoyed tge game room which kept the whole family entertained during the evenings. The surrounding views are spectacular & the top of the mountain privacay is a big plus. Would love to return.

We thought this house was one of the best we have ever stayed in. Everything was provided for us with a great deal of thought for comfort, peace, fun, and especially a mountain atmosphere. The peace was incredible and we were awed by the deer feeding right on the lawn. The wild turkeys were unbelievable and we did not know what they were until we saw the male. We also enjoyed walking through the trails on the land and walking down to the river. Great house, we recommend it highly.
