Lakefront apt, close to Eastman, J1772 EV charger
The condo was quiet, clean, the hosts responded immediately to any questions I had and the view was beautiful! Would definitely stay here again!

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

Krew’s Quarters-Lakefront Sleeps4 on South Holston
We enjoyed our stay! The space was very clean and the location was wonderful. The view from the deck was beautiful. Another plus is that we were able to pull our pontoon on the shore and leave it for the weekend. Kayla was a phenomenal host - very friendly, welcoming, helpful and responsive! Would recommend!

Central, Walkable, Stylish Apartment
We had a great stay with Jamie. The location is close to everything you’d want to experience in Boone. Jamie was proactive and sent access information and instructions ahead of time. Jamie checked in several times and was ready to answer any questions that popped up. We loved how cozy this spot felt. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
Great place for a visit to Sugar Mountain! I took my son and we had a blast. This place is really close to the mountain and everything g in Banner Elk! The place was very clean and had everything g we needed! I highly recommend!

Water under the bridge
Great apartment! Once you walk up a flight of stairs, you follow the hallway to an open kitchen/living space. It was beautiful!!! There are two separate bedrooms. Comfortable!! The bathroom was clean. The location is great-close enough to activities and far enough away to enjoy the peacefulness.

When Pigs Fly Farm
We loved our quiet nights on the river with Kerry. She is a safe warm and super friendly host with the most picaresque mountain homestead. The space is cozy, comfy and clean.

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
We had a great stay!! Everything was just as described! Perfect distance to sugar and beech for skiing! We hope to be back soon!

Cozy Creekside Cottage in the High Country
Tara was a great host! This place was super cute and cozy, with sweet attention to detail. Easy to find Wi-Fi, and things to do. I will Definitely come back! Thank you! Ps. Loved the deck!

Charmer on Creeper & Creek! Walk downtown
Leila’s place was perfect for a weekend in Damascus. The location was super walkable to town and an easy drive to surrounding hikes, etc. We picked the place largely due to the fenced yard so we could bring our dog. The fence was super secure and our dog loved running around in the yard.

Linville NC, Mountain Getaway, Beautiful lake view
The view of the lake from the living room is one of the best in LandHarbor. The house is very well equipped - everything you need to enjoy, cook, a covered patio, and comfortable beds. I will be back again!

Granny's House
We had a lovely stay with everything we needed. We were very comfortable. It was chilly the first couple nights but the heater kept us nice and warm.

Riversong Retreat on the Virginia Creeper Trail
This was our fifth time at Riversong Retreat. The home and surroundings are beautiful with the river and Creeper Trail right in the backyard. David and Sharlene are lovely, helpful hosts. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

Spring Creek Place Cabins - White Rose Cabin
Great stay!! Cozy, comfortable and safe! Strongly recommend!

By a Mountain Stream! Creekside Comfort, Hot tub
My husband and I stayed for a month at the house and absolutely loved it. It was peaceful and beautiful with the music of a rushing streamf filling the house everyday when we opened up the French doors. It was refreshing to see that the house actually matched all of the photos and the amenities that were listed. It was great to have a grocery store and a restaurant within 15 minutes of the house. we loved it so much. we're going to come back again next year.

Ross's Retreat on Watauga Lake
Had another enjoyable week at Ross’s Retreat. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake & Mountain View’s. The 2 kayaks always a plus. Hopefully will be back again next year. Thanks again.

Lakefront Sunrise Deck w/ Boat Slip, Washer/Dryer
Renee's place was a gorgeous haven in Johnson City during our time at the National Storytelling Festival--the home away from home, with a stunning lake, exactly what we needed. Everything was exactly as advertised, only a 20 minute winding drive from Jonesborough, but you never wanted to leave when you saw the sun meet the horizon and reflect across that glassy water. Thanks so much, Renee, we had such a wonderful time revisiting Appalachia.

Chapel Cove Lake Condo
This home was perfect for a visit to the tri-cities area. It was so welcoming and every little detail was clearly carefully considered for the comfort of guests. Even the check-out requirements were exceedingly reasonable and not the least difficult or burdensome. This Boone Lake neighborhood is off the main road enough to feel secluded but close enough to make traveling to anywhere in the area convenient. We had a terrific, though short, visit and would definitely want to stay again on our next visit. One of the best Airbnb's we have visited - I would (and did to friends in the area) highly recommend.

3BR Mountainview 2nd-Floor | Balcony
The place was great for skiing at Sugar Mountain. Everything was good but the floor was bit dirty, our white socks turned black within 5 minutes of walking around. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Love the Serenity as Flattop Creek whistles below-
The condo is super cozy and suitable for a weekend getaway. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Suite Escape@Sugar Mtn Resort - Walk to Ski|Tubing
Had a fantastic time and being with in walking distance of everything is very helpful especially during the high traffic times of the day.

4BR Villa Banner Elk on premiere Resort w/Amenties
My stay at the 4BR Villa in Banner Elk was absolutely delightful! The villa was spacious, beautifully furnished, and offered all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect getaway spot for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. Would highly recommend it for families or groups looking for a luxurious and peaceful retreat!

Upscale Rustic Duplex on Stream, Near Blowing Rock
Loved this rustic creekside condo. It was beautiful inside and out. Everything you needed was there. The deck outside to relax and listen to the creek was so nice. We would definitely stay here again!

Creekside 2min to slopes..quiet & private location
Great place to stay if you are wanting to ski Beech Mountain. Host was super responsive. Place was clean, beds were comfy. Not a chef’s kitchen, but workable. Super easy checkout procedures.
