We had a terrific stay with our two young children while in town for a wedding. We've stayed at many rental homes over the years, but Mountainview was the best appointed and maintained one we've ever stayed in. The woodland-themed decor is very comfortable and fitting for the setting and the luxury finishes are beautiful. There was plenty of space four our family of four, and the layout was perfect when we had family come to visit. The setting is lovely and feels very private, but it is extremely convenient to everything in Boone and a short drive to the Tweetsie Railroad.

Since we were only in town for two nights, we very much appreciated the included linen service and other items that are thoughtfully provided, like hand soap and detergent, that can be a pain to buy or bring.

While we've stayed at other properties that had more kid-specific amenities and needed to bring our own pack-and-play to use as a crib, the deck was a perfect place for our kids to play while we enjoyed a glass of wine and the view, and they loved catching fireflies in the yard at night. My oldest was also delighted to discover the berry patch.

We wished we'd had at least one more night to use the firepit and grill. The one thing we would caution about the home is that there isn't a vent in the kitchen (that we could find), so it would be wise to open windows before using the stove top.

John was very responsive and accessing and leaving the home was very easy, which made the whole experience easy and pleasant. We hope to stay again and highly recommend Mountainview to anyone!
