Gut: Sauberkeit
Great cabin and stream, but ...
After a few VRBO hiccups, check in was easy. The cabin is nice, clean, and comfortable. Lots of towels and extra sheets. The dishwasher did not work. We were unable to use the TV. The wifi is OK. The door to the storage space would not lock and banged in the wind, requiring a rock to prop it closed. There is no cell service but there is a landline.Information on how to get there should have been in the listing. Recommend asking owner to provide detailed directions both to the cabin and to Boone if he does not post them after our recommendation. The VRBO estimates on how long it takes to drive to places are inaccurate. There are no restaurants within a walking distance. Boone is about 25/30 /- 5 minutes away. Blowing Rock an additional 25 minutes. The first mile as you leave is a heavily rutted gravel road. The paved is narrow, with hilly and hair-raising sharp switchbacks and no shoulders.There was not much to do here. Contractors were loudly dredging the stream with heavy equipment for the first few days, so fishing and tubing were out of the question. Owner said they did not tell him when they were arriving. Since he knew that they would be coming at some point, it would have been nice to forewarn us, give us the option of whether to come and even offer some compensation for the noise.We enjoyed the stream after workers left for the day. If you plan to “stay put” for the most part you will be fine. But if you want more, it will require some driving. Hope this helps.
