This place was truly magical and made my 30th birthday celebration the best one yet! Relaxing, simple, but had all the amenities to make it feel like I was home. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! Looking forward to coming back soon!
I loved the views of the mountain and especially the view of the nighttime sky. The stars were so bright and the whole area is peaceful. The house & property are well maintained. The beds were comfortable for all my friends. I love the small heater built into the wall in the bathroom upstairs. It was nice to turn the heat down at night to sleep and then wake up to shower and have the bathroom warm up quickly for my shower. We hit the winery nearby as well as some local restaurants. We also had fun with some inner tubes we blew up and used to slide down the hill in the backyard after it snowed. It was the perfect get away for our friend reunion.

Perfect place to stay while visiting family in Boone! Stayed with husband and 2 kids, plenty of space, excellent kitchen and great room to hang out.

This place was ideal for a family get-together. It is well located in Banner Elk with nice restaurants, vineyards and hiking near by. The view from the house of the hills and forest was calming, and space for our dog to run around safely was ideal. The house is well equipped, well decorated and very confortable. All-in-all a great stay!
Owners response: "We hope to have all of you for another stay!"
We stayed for a long weekend and had a blast. We especially loved the high ceilings and breathtaking sunlight to the living room and kitchen! You just have an amazing open space with previous sun filled social space to bond with family. The fire pit is amazing in the evening for s’mores and fire side chat, spooky storytelling etc. The creek is a nice find and I loved taking my one year old pup, she was the happiest dog with the outside wrapping porch and a gated dog park safe for them to run freely. The owners are dog lovers and have designed the experience for children, dugs, families and big groups ready to hit the slopes or hiking trails. And roller cuádreme nearby a must attraction!
Owners response: "Thank you, we hope you are able to join us at Hound Trails in the future."
