Twin rivers

Great neighborhood with a beautiful view of grandfather mountain. Good hiking in the Moses Cone Forest. Only complaint was they could use a new frying pan and a few wine glasses. Otherwise an amazing location.

3 year old birthday ski trip

The cabin was in a perfect location and had all the necessary amenities to facilitate a lovely weekend celebrating my daughter's 3rd birthday. There was plenty of space and toys for my daughter to play, adults to relax and everyone work together to bring delicious meals to the table.

Mountain Getaway

The location was perfect for what we wanted. The large space and various different things in the house for entertainment were great! The hot tub, pool table, air hockey table, toys in upstairs loft were fantastic. Really enjoyed the large bedrooms, and bathrooms, and having fullsize laundry room was great. The place was clean, but attention could be given to the light fixtures and fans. The ceiling fan in the kitchen area was covered with dust and cobwebs. Also, the master bathroom shower fills up with water when taking a shower and by the time one is done in the shower, the wayer is above the ankle. Overall, we would stay here again. The large house, the mountain/cabin feel, proximity to activities, views, amenities at the house were all fantastic.

Full Circle

We are Native Floridians and always want to have the wonderful experience of snow. We vacationed with our adult children and 3 grandbabies in hopes to see snow. We checked in on Saturday and on Sunday morning my grandbabies woke up to snow falling on the ground! How exciting, my grandson came running into my room, grandma, grandma, get up! it's snowing! It makes my heart flutter and my eyes tear up just typing this. It was such a wonderful Blessing. We had a wonderful stay. We went tubing (I even tubed with them), they skied at Appalachian Ski Resort, and visited Grandfather Mountain. The home was PERFECT for our family, beautiful and comfortable. All our needs were taken care of. Thank You for sharing your home and giving our family the opportunity for a family vacation.

Wonderful Christmas Getaway

We loved our stay at Racoon's Paw Lodge. The lodge has a great layout with a large Livingroom that is open to the kitchen and dining room. It was wonderful because we could all be together without being on top of each other. I also appreciated that whoever was cooking or cleaning did not have to be away from the fun!

Family Trip

The house was perfect for our group of 7 adults and 3 kids. There was plenty of space for everyone, games for the kids, and extremely cozy! The hot tub and game room were awesome and it wasn't too far away from everything. We forgot a few items and they called the next day and said they would ship it to us for free. We looked everywhere for the racoon paw print but didn't have any luck, guess we will have to go back next year! Highly recommend this house. Check in/check out was a breeze and they communicated very well with us!

Perfect Getaway

We had a wonderful time at this property. It has a beautiful view, it is well stocked, and it is very spacious. We enjoyed all the extras the house had to offer such as the fire pit, hot tub, and short drive to a great walking trail. We hope to book again next year. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was very satisfied except the following:Fire pit w/wood provided on website. When we arrrived,the fire pit was gas and locked due repairs needed and was not advised this in advance. I called the office and was told had not been in service for 2 years??? My family was really dissapointed !In our 5 day's could only use the dishwasher once due to it was leaking, when I called the office, i was told that the Gasket needed to be replaced again, so we had to wash dishes the entire time we were there. I know things happen without warning and I understand about the dishwasher but was somewhat disappointed about not being advised in advance of the Fire Pit.

Fantastic Experience

We all greatly enjoyed our stay at the Racoon's Paw Lodge. Our party was 7 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room to accommodate us all. It was a very convenient to Sugar Mountain though I definitely can see why the 4WD would be a must during the winter months. We did not have any significant snow during our stay but the roads/driveway would have likely been treacherous if we had.

Xmas week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cabin was great overall. Really nice layout for up six. More downstairs. Kitchen well equipped and house was decorated for Christmas, even a live tree. 4wd is a must if there is any snow,ice. Cabin is 1.5 miles up a steep, switchback road. NO PROBLEM without snow. Gated community so I'm sure road would be cleared ASAP. Internet and cable were very good. Did have a few issues. Guest bath had lots of hair in tub, shower from previous guest. Main bath could have been cleaner. Fireplace remote didn't work. Took awhile to find main switch inside unit. Dishwasher started leaking on 5th night. Holiday weekend so we just hand washed dishes and reported it at check out. Lots to do in the area. The Game Keeper is a must for dinner. Stonewalls is over rated for the $'s. Overall Raccoon's Paw is great place. We tried to book for next Xmas but already taken.

Very Clean Large Cabin

We enjoyed the cabin which was fully stocked to meet all our needs. The location was great and close to Sugar Mountain, Grandfather mountian and both Boone and Bannner Elk towns. The cabin is in a gated community with other homes near by so you had to drive to really hike. I would recommend this cabin if you like being in a gated community and close to attractions.

Great location, nice cabin!

Great Location, the drive up to the cabin is a little step agree you would need four wheel drive for winter months. Beautiful secluded cabin, they are building a cabin that you will be able to see through the woods other than that secluded cabin in a gated community. The only reason I gave it four stars is because from the other reviews I was expecting it to be very clean. The cabin needed a good deep cleaning there were signs that areas weren't cleaned like hair bows laying by toilet and accumulated dust in areas. The beds are firm for those who may struggle with firm beds but we were okay. Great view, nice bathrooms and hot tub. We would definitely go back!

Quiet & relaxing - just what we needed

We really enjoyed our stay at Raccoon's Paw. We relaxed so much we must admit that we did not find the paw print! We will have to book again to continue our search. We enjoyed the remote & quiet location. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room furniture was spacious and comfortable. The hot-tub was the icing on the cake for this very enjoyable property.
