Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Watauga River

Perfect place! Was looking for a rental that was not up a mountain. Had to be "flat", close to App state and King street/restaurants. East King is seconds from King Street/App State. Flat parking pad. No steps into the back door. Easy to retrieve key. Spotless. My parents stayed at a nearby hotel (used their points) and we had a wonderful weekend showing them all over Boone and the area and had a wonderful time at the house to celebrate both our daughter's birthdays and Easter. Location, location location! Super convenient- we would absolutely rent here again! Owner was almost instantly responsive and very helpful.

Carl's place was absolutely wonderful. it was so peaceful and we felt right at home. Carl and his son were both there to welcome us upon arrival and make sure we had everything we needed. Our dog was in the healing process from being hit by a car and they wanted to make him comfortable first and foremost and sent him some food and even came to check on him later that night. We wanted to extend our stay but it wasn't possible due to previous bookings but we will definitely stay again soon.

This house was amazing, me and my family wanted to get away from the city for the weekend and this was a great place to stay at, it was very peaceful. we definitely would book again!

We loved the home. The weather was iffy with the winter storm coming in and we had to leave a day early. But that’s not her fault!!! The cleaning could have been better; especially the tops of furniture. And the water took forever to heat up in the master bath…all in all it was a great place in a great location. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Views are beautiful in the snow!

We visited for President’s Day weekend and had a lovely stay with our elementary age kids. Check in was very straightforward. The house was well equipped and spotless with tons of space, including a mudroom, a functional fridge with ice/water dispenser and a garbage disposal, things I’ve found are often lacking in Airbnbs. Further, we really appreciated the coffee bar and separate bowls for our Frenchie - very thoughtful! My kids loved using the big master tub, and my husband and I are always pleased to see double vanities. Beds were comfortable with lots of extra linens available. The host was super responsive. It snowed while we were there and we were able to navigate the driveway without an issue. Lastly, a functional 2 car garage with garage door openers! So valuable in freezing/snowy weather. All around a great house for a family vacation.

We were in the area for a funeral, Daniel was quick to approve our reservations. His welcome packet was amazing! Everything was laid out and the directions and requirements were clear and precise. Daniel was also quick to respond to any questions that we had. I hope to come back for a longer stay in the future to enjoy the amenities in the area. We absolutely enjoyed the beauty of the creek on the back of the property! My mom enjoyed a little peace and quiet in the hammock, just what the doctor ordered! Beds are so comfortable, I think I’m going to have to order some of the sheets they use, I fell in love with them.

It was really enjoyable stay. Very easy to find, very clean and well supplied. Stores and restaurants were less than 15 minutes away if anything was needed. Any questions Melina was quick to respond. We highly recommend any properties Melina is host of. Definitely a Super host.

Great clean little house in a nice quiet neighborhood. Walkable to State Street & close drive to all that Bristol has to offer. Our dogs loved the yard, which made it easier for us to get out & explore. We were able to go to the Bristol Caverns, Bristol Speedway, the Pinnacle, roller skate at the Bristol Skateway and horseback riding tour in the mountains in Rogersville. Would definitely stay again in this cottage. Thank you Brandon!!!

Great location and friendly host. Perfect place for a quick weekend getaway

Highly enjoyed my mountain stay! The view was spectacular, the driveway was bit rockery than anticipated but my Toyota Camry made it up fine! It was very clean and cozy! The hosts did an amazing job at communicating and accommodating our stay. The guest book was adorable and full of fun recommendations of activities to do. I really loved it here, will happily visit this same property on my next stay!! worth the money and the view!! Thanks again!!

Great place to stay and very quiet. It had everything I needed. Clear check-in instructions, and it was easy to come and go without the host needing to be there. Very clean! I will stay there again when in town.

Micah is a delightful hostess and her property was beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable!!! We would be thrilled to stay there again!!! It was a lovely, soft place to land after two weeks of intense travel and relocating!!! Thanks again!!!

Great location to hit the AT. Great hospitality and his wife makes THE BEST cookies! Great place to stay if you are on the trail or just in the area on vacation.

The space is very cosy and in a convenient and safe neighborhood. The pictures and descriptions are accurate. No complaints!

Romer & Carolina are amazing hosts! Very responsive and helpful! The place was prefect for me. Its so beautiful around there. Love it! Thank y’all for being great hosts and letting me stay in your cute little apartment. Will definitely recommend them and will stay anytime I’m in Spruce Pine.

We enjoyed staying at David and Rachel's place! It was so nice to be able to walk to everything in downtown Boone and it was remarkably quiet being right in town. The place was cozy, had all the amenities we needed, and we felt right at home. Thanks for sharing your great home!

My favorite place to stay Great host They make you feel right at home Great location.

We had a great time here!! A beautiful little cabin with all the amenities needed for a stay. Very responsive host and friendly. Loved having a private hot tub surrounded by trees to relax in and a great spot to view some stars. We dined for breakfast at Louise’s Famous Rockhouse right down the street and highly highly recommend. Best biscuits ever had! We loved our visit to Newland!

It was a very cute and cozy place. Hot tub was amazing, very well furnished great for a couple get away.

Our family of 4 really enjoyed staying at Kendall's home. It was clean, peaceful, and had everything we could have hoped for in a mountain setting.

Beautiful surroundings, a creek rushing by and plenty of decks to appreciate it! We wanted for nothing with plenty of linens and a full kitchen. Tread carefully on the rocky, uneven walk to the hot tub, especially if it's wet!

I’ve been all over the world and this stay was one of my favorites for a 3 day solo reset trip. BEAUTIFUL view from on top of the hill that is mowed for easy walk access, private and very clean! 5/5

Enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Clean, cozy cabin and perfect space for my husband and I. All the small things were available, such as washer pods, makeup rags, shampoo/conditioner. Will certainly be back.

It was raining lightly when we arrived, we had no idea Hurricane Helene was also coming to the mountains. We lost power the second day and water, Kenny and heather came to check on us and brought us a propane stove to cook on and boil water. This community has been hit hard by the storm, but it was incredible to see how quickly people came together to help each other. Kenny knew someone who had satellite internet and solar power, and they were happy to let people use it to get messages out. Another person had a satellite phone and offered to send messages for people. There is a local monastery, and the monks worked hard to clear the roads of mud and debris. When this area recovers, you must show them some love and support. The property is beautiful and the area is worth a trip. Please pray for them.
