Home away from Home
We had a wonderful weekend at this mountain Cabin, it truly felt like a home away from home. Fully stocked kitchen for easy meal preparation, comfortable living area, nice size bed rooms with very comfortable beds. Hot tub with great views was an added bonus. The owner was very responsive, and hospitable. We will definitely stay again when in the Boone area!

Walking on eggshells
I forgot to inform the owner that my brother who is 100% disabled from military service would have his service dog with him. My brother was sitting in the driveway with his service dog when the host approached him telling him that no pets were allowed on the property. My brother informed the host that the dog was a service animal, not a pet. That wasn’t good enough for the owner. The host and I talked and apologized for not informing him that my brother would have his service dog with him. That was good enough for the host, he continued to call the dog a pet and I continued to remind him that the dog was not a pet but a service dog. My brother has PTSD which is a fight for his life every day but due to the owner's aggressive behavior toward my brother, a decision was made that he had to go home. The owner told me I would have to pay an additional $100 for clean-up, here’s another quote from the owner “You probably got in only (1) round of golf - was it worth the trip? Certainly was not for us !!” So we walked on eggshells the 2 nights in this cabin, just waiting for another shoe to drop.

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin was wonderful and the location was a big plus. We had plenty of room for the family. The game room and the many board games in the basement and the hot tub on the deck were a big hit with all of us. The beds are all very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The living room has seating for plenty of people. There are only two minor things that I would note. The first is that you have to take your own linens. The second is there is nowhere to dump the garbage on property. You have to take it with you or run it to the landfill. Other than those two very minor items, we highly recommend this property and we would rent it again.

Wedding Prep
My family was able to use the cabin as we prepared for our son's wedding. Description was accurate and accommodations provided plenty of space and was conveniently close to the venue. Host was gracious and assisted when I wasnt able to find the check-in letter that also included access code. All went extremely well and was a great weekend.

Nice house, pleasant stay, just come prepared
Overall the house was nice with a good view. We found out after booking that you have to bring all of your own towels and linens, which is rather annoying for weekend getaway. We tried to communicate with the owner several times before the stay about parking, door code, etc. While communication was quick, the owner was not overly friendly/helpful about us having “so many cars for so few people”, referring us to the email several weeks ago when asking about the door code, etc. Also, the grill was a charcoal grill, no gas or propane so come prepared with the necessary stuff.

Large cabin for family gathering
Beautiful spacious cabin on the top of the mountain. Very curvy road up to the house. We enjoyed the comfortable deck with the rocking chairs and swing and the mountain view. Four bedrooms provided plenty of privacy for our extended family group. The kitchen is well equipped for the meals we chose to prepare together at home. Be advised: You are expected to provide your own sheets and towels. We were not advised of this until after renting.

Celebration of Life for Terry Doherty
We visited to attend the Celebration of Life for my father Terry Doherty, who lived in Valle Crucis on Red Tailed Hawk Road, close to the cabin. My mother still lives there. All three of my sons (ages 24, 22, and 8) stayed with me, as well as cousins and friends. The cabin was perfect for us, and we really enjoyed it (especially the boys who played lots of games in the basement). The view was spectacular, similar to my parents house around the corner, but a little higher. We would definitely come back.

Located at the top of a mountain. The drive up a little scary the first time but the house suited us perfectly. Grandkids downstairs was great for them and us. They loved hot tub. Kitchen had everything you needed. A bathroom on every floor worked great also. Would definitely stay there again

Beautiful mountain stay
Our three generation family group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is new and very well stocked with kitchen supplies and games, including a foosball table and arcade game. We took advantage of the hot tub and wood burning fireplace, too. Since we are Florida folks used to flat straight roads, we did the drive up the narrow, winding road before dark, but it was definitely worth it for the peaceful location with a gorgeous view.

Very comfortable, all necessary ingredients for a nice fire, though some smoke does come inside the house, should clean out chimney I suppose :-). Kitchen has everything you need, we cooked some. TV situation was very good, which was nice because it was so cold and windy when we were there.

Beautiful Cabin
We absolutely loved the cabin and all of the antique decor. Plenty of room for our family of 6 that stayed. The road to the cabin is a little scary because it's so steep (especially for us Floridians used to the flat roads LOL) and the cabin is at the very top! But that also adds to the amazing views...you may need AWD or 4x4 during snowy times. The kids had so much fun with the games.

Top Of The Mountain
This beautiful cabin at the top of a mountain in Valle Crucis delivered in every way for our family's December vacation. My wife and adult children loved the incredible views, the comfortable accommodations, the fireplace, hot tub, foosball, and even old-school arcade games. It's convenient to Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. The host was helpful and quick to respond to all our questions prior to the trip. Of all our recent mountain rentals, this tops the list. We hope to make the Owl's Roost part of our annual tradition.
