The cabin was absolutely spotless inside. It was as clean as we keep our home. Outside, there isn't much of a view in the summer, but you can tell there would be a beautiful view in the winter. We didn't mind - we enjoyed the seclusion. It is close and convenient to downtown Boone, making for great access to all the town has to offer. The hot tub is huge and also clean, but the beautiful overhead trees do occasionally drop visitors into the water, be it leaves or a bug or two - nothing the provided net can't fish out. Fire pit is awesome, and beats watching TV. But if you do want to watch TV, the house is equipped with smart Roku TVs in every room.
Just don't forget to sign out when you leave (but thank you to some previous guests for access to their subscriptions). Great place, great location, great communications from the owners. We will definitely be back!
