"The house was as described. It was clean and cozy. We had a great time while visiting. We would definitely recommend staying here if visiting the area. "

"Great cabin. Location was 15-20 minutes away from everything."

"Our large friend/family group had the best time at the Lodge! It's not easy to find a place that can accomodate our combined 14 children and 5 adult couples so well. This place is not only beautiful, it was clean, communication was excellent, and we have already started talking about coming back. Highly recommend!"

"Host was very accommodating for our last minute reservation. Cabin was well stocked and clear direction for all house amenities. "

"Awesome location"

"We truly enjoyed staying at Alex’s little treehouse in the mountains. We are a small family of humans and furry babies and it suited us perfectly. It was an easy drive to both the city (Boone) or the ski slopes (Sugar Mountain) - they are both within 15m driving, albeit in opposite directions. The cabin is well stocked and has been updated, so don’t let the rustic or cabin decor fool you. The kitchen has granite countertops and all of the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you need to prepare your own meals. Alex and family have done a great job of labeling everything and provided excellent instructions detailing arrival/departure tasks. The cabinets are well labeled tooI’m not sure if it was planned this way, but the bathroom wall decor is covered in vinyl stickers from area venues and restaurants. I enjoyed reading them to check out the places that other visitors have explored. There’s definitely more to the area than skiing and the mast general store. There are tons of hiking trails and a lot of little local restaurants and shops. Just a small heads up - the community center has tennis courts, but if you’re an avid tennis player, I would go elsewhere. They are just fine for a casual pickleball match or two with the family though. Also, if you’re traveling in winter, make sure your vehicle is equipped to handle steep drives and tight S curves/switchbacks. The neighborhood is windy and only really had a single lane road one lane road once you pass the clubhouse. "
