Mountain vidit

Probably just me, as I have back issues. I could not get comfortable on the sofa or especially in the bed. My fault that I didn’t see it was a double bed. We checked out after first night. It may work great for others.

Cozy Little Hideaway

Great little place tucked away in the mountains bordered by farm land. The location was close to Boone, Valle Crucis, and Blowing Rock. The cabin itself is surrounded by trees making it feel secluded. Everything you need but food. A quiet respite after a long day of hiking.

So peaceful

Absolutely beautiful location. The scenery was amazing especially in the evening. The evening and night sky will make anyone's trip worth it. The cabin is perfect size for a solo trip or a romantic getaway. Very clean and supplied with everything but food. This place goes in my top 5. I loved every second of it

Bliss Near Boone

The property is an absolute gem for those looking for an oasis in the mountains. The property is exceptionally maintained and has all the conveniences that one (really) needs to be comfortable while in the mountains. Above anything I want to highlight that communication with the host Diane is A+++. She was always responsive and kind (not to mention very accomodating to me and my circus) when I reached out to her during our stay. The only recommendation I have is for any future travellers, if you are not comfortable driving twisty mountain roads in the dark be sure to give yourself enough time to arrive when it's light or drive with care. The roads are thin and have lots of curves and there is wildlife in abundance in the area. Boone is a 20 - 30 minute drive but beautiful to do (especially in the mornings when the roads are less busy and the mist is hanging in the valleys). I will definitely be keeping this property along with the other property the host owns on my list for a return stay (albeit on my own next time and on an actual vacation). Thank you again Diane!!!

Why they chose this property

This place is special to me because the land was settled and cleared by my Great-Great-Great Grandfather and his sons in the early 1900's. This 26-ac. farm was occupied by family members for many years. My grandmother was blessed to be able to purchase the property in 1986 and make it home for herself and her daughter (my mother). In 2000 she built her first vacation rental (Songbird Cabin-also listed on this site) because her late husband and she had dreamed of being able to share this beautiful place with others. And now she has added Little Red's Cottage as her second vacation rental at the Cornett Deal Christmas Tree Farm.

Note: Named Little Red's Cottage by my mother in memory of her stepfather, my grandmothers' late husband. His nickname for her was "Little Red"

What makes this property unique

This cottage will offer a quiet place to enjoy the mountains while at the same time being close to many small mountain towns and local attractions.
