We stayed with with our friends and our middle school children. We were in Boone for Family Weekend to visit our kids at Appalachian. This house has everything you need to keep the family happy and occupied. The younger boys explored outside all weekend, fetching golf balls, and petting a deer! There are many deer that live in the neighborhood, and they are very docile and obviously familiar with humans. Drive slow!!! The view is fabulous- million dollar view. The pool table was a huge hit will everyone, and the new fireplace upstairs and downstairs really put out the heat. We brought fire logs and wood, and kept it going all weekend. The fireplace does not burn wood as fast, so we had plenty of firewood. We cooked all weekend, had plenty of cookware. May need a new can opener. Beds were comfy. The property manager was very helpful and understanding with an issue we had. She was very easy to work with. The owner even texted us when we arrived to just check in. Would stay here again!!
