  Very cute cabin up in the mountains. Nice Bedrooms and large basement with 2 sets of bunks. Also had a pool table that will convert to a ping pong table. Very quiet area. The porch was big enough for lots of people

  Katy A from Kingsport, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great 2-night stay at Gnome Away from Home during our kids' spring break. The cabin is lovely, clean, well-stocked and equipped. There were games to play, TVs to watch, deck and woods to explore. The only semi-negative comment I might mention is that with the fluctuating temperature of springtime and only one thermostat for the whole cabin, it was very difficult to get the basement floor warm enough for our kids to sleep down there without making the two upstairs floors swelteringly hot. For future guests, or if we ever stayed there again, I would recommend taking a space heater for the room in the basement if that is allowed. Also the wording of the contract made it difficult for me to find the door code when we got there. It was in there, but it was sort of hidden in the way it was written, so I stood on the front porch for 15 minutes searching for it before we finally figured it out.

  a guest from Columbia, South Carolina recommends this vacation rental

  My family of 4 enjoyed a last-minute long weekend stay at this beautiful home. Although there are other homes close by, it was quiet and the deck area faced the woods. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, seeing deer, listening to the birds, and the cicadas and crickets at night. The home was well-stocked with the basics for cooking meals and had lots of pretty decorative touches. Our teen boys enjoyed the game room (although we weren't able to find the cue sticks and balls for the pool table). We didn't take advantage of the community pool or club house, but both looked nice. When we went out to explore the Powder Horn Mountain community on Sunday, we weren't able to locate the campground/creek area--not sure if it was our poor map-reading skills or the road sign marked "private" that threw us off. The gate station is not staffed on Sundays or we would have asked for directions. Instead, we spent the day exploring Boone and Blowing Rock. The home was a little further out from Boone than we expected taking into account the winding mountain roads, but it wasn't too bad. Would definitely advise bringing groceries/supplies or stopping on the way if you can. Overall, a lovely stay with very easy check-in/check out process.

  Beautiful home and community. We enjoyed being in such a relaxing, peaceful place and loved all the wildlife we experienced on our stay. The campground on the creek was our absolute favorite. Excellent place to fish and hang out in a chair and read and soak up all the nature. We will definitely be staying again. Property Mgmt great and had everything we needed and more

  Candace S from Deep Gap, NC recommends this vacation rental

  While it rained the whole time during my stay, it was still easy to tell that the community had lots to offer with the trails and clubhouse. And Gnome away from home was a really cute, clean cabin. Would definitely recommend. It is smaller than it appears in photos , but quite comfortable. Rental staff was also great and helpful with everything.
