The house was beautiful! More room than we needed but it was nice to have space. The main thing we look for is a nice size fenced yard for the dogs to have a safe place to be outside. This property had that & more. The elevated bowl we used for water was so thoughtful, the dog basket of supplies if needed & treats. The house is very spacious & we loved the open living room, with kitchen & dinning area, tall ceiling. The back deck was also lovely, I enjoyed drinking coffee & tossing the tennis ball. The area was very quiet and we felt very safe. All the friendly deer were a very nice perk for an animal lover like me. The location was ideal for travel to several places, Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Linville. We had plenty of variety to hike, see beautiful views & falls. Lots of great food options. The bbq place at Beech had a 10 point deer hanging out for our dinner. It was awesome! Our views on the way to the house were beautiful as well. There are options for hiking near the house that we ran out of time to explore. Hope to do that next time. The hosts are very kind, with great communication. The home is very clean & well stocked with towels, sheets, kitchen items, etc. We would love to stay at their home again in the future.
