Very happy with our stay

Room was nice and spacious, bed was comfortable. Room was very quiet. Balcony was big and spacious and the view was great. The only thing that wasn't great was that the shower ran out of hot water. Check in employee was very friendly.

The property was older, but the room was clean and quiet. The balcony wasn’t really a balcony. It was just chairs outside the room door. But the scenery was nice and we enjoyed our stay.

This place was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for! We love to visit Boone, NC and Blowing Rock, NC to hit up our favorite places. This was the perfect spot because it was close to shopping downtown and close to where we go. the view was amazing especially with the Christmas lights! We definitely will be coming back next year for our yearly adventure!! Thank you for being such an amazing place!
