We were very pleased with the mountain views, peace & quiet, cooler temperatures, once the tropical storm passed through.
Location was convenient to resturants, shopping, attractions,
grocery stores in Boone and Blowing Rock. The Blowing Rock attraction with museum and nice gift shop was worth the cost and hour or so of your time. Nice towels and very good water pressure which made for great hot showers. Kitchen is updated with heavy duty soft close cabinets, newer appliances, granite countertops, plenty of dishes, glasses, baking pans, skillets etc.
I didn't prepare any large meals but I have no doubt you could in this kitchen. I did think the lighting was lacking in the kitchen.
Stocked with cleaning supplies, spices, iron & iron board , blow dryer, starter paper products.
Plenty of books and several puzzles and games. As other reviewers mentioned, the skylights did not leak.
There were non-central A/C units which we did not need. in the
(LR and Deck side bedroom) Plenty of pillows, two throws, three
blankets. Con: The hard wood floors were not clean.
