This house is STUNNING. The setting is beautiful and peaceful and the house is incredibly comfortable. Perfect for a quiet girl's trip, a family or even a business retreat. Highly recommend! And there aren't unreasonable fees on top of the rental (like other VRBO listings). Big thanks to our host.

The cabin is beautiful and the amenities are fantastic, but there are no words to describe the incredible view from Ain’t Life Grand! Looking out at the mountains gave us all such a feeling of serenity. The huge windows provided a beautiful view even when we were inside. The cabin was immaculate and well-stocked. We stayed at the cabin for most of the trip as we had everything we needed right there for a perfect vacation.

Great cabin, beautiful view

Took our 4 year old twins to this cabin for the 4th of July holiday. Both the cabin and view were amazing. There were so many little touches that made the stay extra special. The kids loved all the toys and getting to make s’mores and we loved sitting back and looking at the Mountain View. We would definitely return!

Beautiful home with amazing views

We travel to the NC mountains once a year from Winston-Salem and have stayed in many cabins over the years. Ain’t Life Grand is definitely our favorite with comfortable accommodations, stunning views and lots of little extras provided by the hosts. We had a wonderful time on spring break reconnecting with our grown children and day trips to Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and Boone. Truly enjoyed this lovely property and would highly recommend.

Amazing Views!! Beautiful Property!!

We LOVED our stay at Grand Views and we had so much fun with our friends! The view is truly Spectacular and the property is beautiful! It is warm, welcoming, comfortable and clean! The fireplace is gorgeous and we enjoyed relaxing in front of the cozy fire while watching the stunning sunset! Heather and Jonathan are very kind and friendly hosts, and they were very helpful and quick to answer questions that we had. Their home has everything that you need, including lovely extra items like popcorn and ingredients to make s'mores. They have lots of fun games to play. (ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, board games, etc..) The property is conveniently located close to Boone and Blowing Rock, and both towns are great to visit. The Speckled Trout Restaurant and Kilwins ice cream and chocolate shop in Blowing Rock are wonderful! We didn't want to leave and we look forward to staying again in the future!!

Family Perfect Getaway at Ain’t Life Grand

A beautiful house at the top of the mountain. Our grandkids loved all the games and toys they found. We loved the kitchen and den that had a wall of windows that provided one of the best views of the NC Mountains anywhere. Great fireplace and a comfy hot tub included. We recommend it! 5 stars!

BEST RENTAL EVER!

This mountain house was more than we could’ve asked for! The view was breathtaking, the house was immaculate, and the host communication was fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we noticed the attention to detail and extras. There were supplies for s’mores, firewood for the firepit, a basket of “forgotten” to pack items, a fully stocked kitchen, a garage full of things for fun, and more. Literally, anything you would want was there. Not to mention it’s conveniently located to Boone with just a 10 minute drive to downtown. We kept saying how it felt like home…it was so cozy and the perfect place to make family memories. We will definitely be back!

I can't say enough about this cabin and the memories made. The views alone set this apart. We had some rain most of the time we were there but what the cabin had to offer made our rainy vacation so much better. Between the fire pit, hot tub, ping pong table and outdoor area, everything you need is there. Our daughters (ages 13 and 8) absolutely loved it!! Our 8 year old was in love with the loft and sad to leave. The kitchen is wonderful and the dining table was a great place to sit and eat or play games. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place.

Worst Birthday ever

Owner did " double book " property. We arrived at property after 3 hours drive to find out that property is booked by someone else. Owner did not respond once to calls or txt. They approve our stay since they collect money. If they knew someone else book it before as they can email , txt or call so we don't drive there. Worst was to look at my son to be in tears , since it was for moms birthday. Very disrespectful from them. I wish them best.

Fantastic mountain retreat

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties in the mountains of western NC, and this is one of our very favorites. The views are stunning, the house itself is clean, charming, and very well-appointed -- complete with toys and games for the kids, a game room with shuffleboard and foosball, and (most important to the grownups) a VERY well-stocked kitchen. Highly reccomend!
