  Had to cut trip short due to Hurricane Helene and was so disappointed to leave. Cute cabin in a beautiful neighborhood. Took us about 30 minutes to Boone or Blowing Rock and the entrance to parkway was nearby. The management company was very responsive and gracious. So sorry the hurricane has affected their area but am sure they will be back on track soon.

  The house and property were as described. The location and views were beautiful. We appreciated the screened in porch and ate dinner out there every night. The communication with the property owner/manager was smooth and easy. Check out and check in were easy. The internet connection was not very good, but the property description is very up front about that. This is definitely a place to get away from it all!

Loved the screened in porch which allowed us to enjoy our morning coffee with a view. Location was great cause the town of Boone was just a short drive away. Much thanks to Ms Susan for providing us with the perfect peaceful and safe place to stay! Highly recommended staying here!!!!

  We're Airbnb hosts ourselves, and have enjoyed marvelous stays at numerous Airbnb bookings.
  That said, 30 min after we arrived, unpacked the car and settled on the screened porch, we knew that Horseshoe Haven (and the entire Powderhorn community) was exactly what we had been looking for, and we only wished we'd booked a longer stay. We also didn't realize just how much we really needed the down time, to truly be away from it all, until we looked at each other over our coffee on the porch our last day, and almost in unison said, "how 'bout we just stay put again today (instead of making the short drive to town as we'd planned). Horseshoe Haven was very clean, comfy, so quiet and peaceful, and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It has been years since we've been able to slow down enough in the evening to do something as simple, engaging and pleasant as playing cards or a board game, which we took turns choosing each evening for our nightly porch sitting - perfect endings to our fabulously leisurely days. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your haven with us.

  Cabin was very cozy. Pictures and items that were described in the listing were accurate. We did have an issue with the Wi-Fi on our first night, but it seemed to fix itself the next day. The neighbors and the gate attendant were all incredibly friendly. We never used the pool house, so cannot speak to that, but the waking paths were awesome. Would recommend for a nice, quiet stay.

  Property was exactly what was stated. Very clean. I would come back again and recommend. However, the dirt roads were a surprise. We didn't have enough time to go to the club house, paddle boat, etc... I think the check-out time is too early being check-in time is after 4pm. Those 2 things are my only complaints.

  This was a very clean and secluded cabin. Local channels were available on the television along with a library of DVDs. Internet was spotty, but this was disclosed in the description. Only complaint was that we had four occupants and by the second person taking a shower there was no hot water. Development had a nice pond with trails and a game room (pool and ping pong). There was also an outdoor pool that was out of season.

  Carol K from Catawba, SC recommends this vacation rental

  My husband and I rented this property for one week in order to explore the surrounding area including Boone, Blowing Rock, Mt Airy, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It takes about 25 minutes to get from the property to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The property is among other homes on Powder Mountain but still felt secluded. The most impressive thing about this property is the Property Manager and the Maintenance Personnel. On our second day (a Saturday) after being gone all day sightseeing we returned around 5 pm to a major maintenance issue requiring immediate attention. I called the Property Manager (Moonlight Property Management) and she immediately sent the Maintenance Personnel over to assess the situation and determine how to address/minimize the damage. The Property Manager arrived shortly after as well. Everyone worked quickly to minimize damage and offered to move us to a different property. We elected to stay and the Property Manager made sure we had what we needed to be comfortable. On Sunday and Monday we were kept updated on the repair schedule. Everything was back in working order by Monday afternoon. Kudos to the Property Manager and Maintenance Personnel for their immediate response and quick resolution of the issue.

  The rental process was very easy and the management was friendly. The house is located at a good place and very quiet. The house itself needs some tlc. Overall the cleanliness was ok (kitchen, bathrooms). The bedding could be updated and more thorough cleaning around the house. Everything worked fine and we no reason to call management. We enjoyed our stay but would probably choose another property if we decide to visit the area again.

  Rest, relaxation, recreation and renewal - - All accomplished while staying at Powderhorn Mountain. Comfy, cool, and refreshing for both the body and the soul ! I hesitate to name the property because I want it to stay our special secret hide-a-way! But any rental suggested by Moonlight Properties is sure to be terrific. Reasonably priced compared to area hotels. And the sound of the rain on the roof (which is priceless) cannot be found in a hotel!

  I rented Horseshoe Haven for my daughter and grandson. I wanted a cozy place within walking distance from our home so we could stay Covid safe. We spent time outdoors during the day and at night my daughter and grandson nestled into the house. They loved that it was small and intimate - no huge, unnecessary spaces - my daughter would watch the sunrise from the enclosed deck/porch. They made fires morning and night and throughly enjoyed the house. This will be our go-to rental when advising family where to stay. Plus, Susan Cheney is always accessible and a joy!

  Tracey M from WALTERBORO, SC does not recommend this vacation rental.

  To start, I had to reach out the rental company after booking online because I did not receive any form of contact from them regarding the reservation I made online and the rest of the experience with them was a bit unprofessional.
  The house itself had one little tiny uneven area to park in and if you're not used to driving in the mountains, the incline to get there is a bit steep. Inside it was fairly clean but the beds were very uncomfortable and the master bedroom floor was noticeably slanted. The views from the screened in porch were the highlight of the trip but the foliage was not maintained and the outdoor furniture was ragged, cheap and falling apart. The house had mifi but the signal was not very strong so we really couldn't use it for our devises. I'm a pretty easy person to please so the fact that it had so many problems in my opinion make it NOT a great stay. I probably gave it a higher star rating then it deserves.

  This was a very nice little house. All that I needed for myself and fur baby. Loved the screened in porch and the deck. The place was very clean and no odors. While I didn’t do any cooking it was nicely stocked with the essentials. Would stay again if there was blinds or curtains at the kitchen window and the side door entrance(it had window panes) I felt a little uncomfortable at night with people seeing in. Also wished it had chairs on the deck but overall a very nice place.

  Address was wrong...lost for 2 hrs with no cell service Airbnb or you???? Kids were upset..long story but we finally knocked on Melinda's door and she figured it out by written directions plus the name of the cabin because she lives there!
  No double bed in bedroom 2..only twin and bunks...smoke detector hanging from the ceiling
  Trash was a constant worry
  Kitchen sparse:
  No big fry pan. No serving bowls, no mixing bowl, no coffee filters, no cleaning supplies, no cooking oil as noted, no wine opener..coffee maker high tech...
  Oddly we loved the location and the screened in porch!!! Love the layout..
  Would go back if kitchen were stocked with more necessities ...what you had a lot of were pie plates???? Love Powder Horn..

  The cabin and property management company were great. I did not like the distance it was from Boone (had to drive about 8/9 Miles up mountain roads.) The pictures of the cabin online seem to portray an awesome mountain view but that was in winter when all the leaves were off the trees. During the summer months the trees/leaves cover up the entire mountain where you can't see anything so that was disappointing for sure. The cabin itself provided great amenities such as games, great selection of DVD's, patio/grill.
