Margaret G from Glendale , California recommends this vacation rental

Acorn Cottage was the best supplied rental I ever booked. It has everything you need and more. The cooking spices and supplies were great to have. The view is amazing. The cottage is very comfortable and I slept better there than my own bed! It was dark and quiet at night. The noise in the house does not carry from upstairs to downstairs so if there are nightowls you will not be disturbed.

a guest from Havelock, NC recommends this vacation rental

This cottage was absolutely perfect for our group! My parents stayed in the main suite, and having their own bathroom was a big bonus. My brother and his family used the other two rooms on the main floor, and my family of five used the three bedrooms in the basement. Having two living areas in the house was SO nice! We also truly appreciated being able to bring our two dogs with us. The property description and pictures allowed us to plan in advance, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Communication with the property manager was easy and we appreciated the quick response time. We'd highly recommend this property to others, and I'm sure we'll stay here again when we visit Boone--it was just right for what we needed! For anyone looking for activities in the area, we would definitely suggest checking out Appalachian Tubing Company--closest tubing company to the cottage, easy online reservations, and the friendliest guys who run it!

Beautiful property in the mountains; other houses were far enough apart that you felt you were by yourself. Manager was very quick to respond to questions and problems. We had toilet that was clogged and maintenance was there within an hour to fix it.

We had the most incredible family vacation experience that will stay with us for a lifetime! The amenities provided were top-notch, adding a touch of luxury and comfort to our stay. The interiors were beautifully designed, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. And the views! Oh my, the views were simply breathtaking. Waking up to such an amazing panorama every morning was a dream come true. This vacation truly provided us with memories that will last forever. I highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and unforgettable experiences."
