I have never rented a cabin before so I used this website to try and find one. I found one that I liked and called for more information. It was listed online as $175-$225 a night. The lady who answered the phone was extremely unprofessional. I asked her if they allowed one night rentals or if they required a 2 night stay like some other places do. She got an attitude and said "well it's just too hard to do one night. No we can't do that. There's too much cleaning and stuff involved and it's not worth it for us." All she had to do was say that they have a two night minimum, she didn't have to chew me out.... THEN she told me how much the cabin was a night and told me that there was also a $100 something cleaning fee. So I just said "oh I didn't know there was a cleaning fee, it wasn't on the website" (just acknowledging it, not complaining about it) Well this lady goes "Well this just happened and with COVID it's so much more expensive and it's just not worth one night and if you call/look around other places have a cleaning fee too. I feel like I'm having to defend myself!" and just kept on going. I then explained to her that I was just merely stating that it wasn't on their website and that other places had it listed on their website that there was an additional cleaning fee. I told her that I wasn't trying to hurt her feelings (this woman sounded like she was either going to cry or slap me) I was just glad that she let me know because again, this is the first time I've tried to book a cabin and I didn't know and just wanted information..... Needless to say, I will not book through Boone Cabin Rentals because this lady was so easily offended and difficult to talk to I just felt like I was being shamed or fussed at for...
Read moreWe just left the Eagles Nest Cabin on Monday October 19th. We had six adults and 1 small child and stayed for four nights. The cabin is well equipped with a fireplace, hot tub, two full large bathrooms with showers and tubs. There is also a fire-pit outside for making smores but be carefull as it is on the slanted side of the property. There are also two gas grills ready to cook your steaks etc.. This was a 3br/2 baths. They also have another cabin with 3 baths I believe but it was already rented. Book early is the key!
The best part about the cabin is the Boone location. You are right in the center of all the happenings. We visited Grandfather mountain, Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, Crucis, Banner Elk and the Wooly Worm Festival. We also went to the "Mast General Store" and Annex in Valley Crucis. The Blue Ridge Parkway is also very close and Ingles Grocery Store and Wall Mart are not far away.
We went rafting in Tennesee and visited "Tweetsie Railway Amusement Park" which is on the way to Blowing rock, about 8 miles from the cabin. Hawk's Nest Zip Lining is only about 20 minutes and is located in Seven Devils, Nc, just a few miles from Banner Elk. It was very cold at "Tweetsie and it was not much to talk about and certainly overpriced. The little ones will love it however. On the last day we visited Blowing rock and ate at the popular "Mellow Mushroom". We had a great...
Read moreWe had to book a cabin last minute so that we could attend a funeral in Vilas 30 minutes from Boone. We had to travel with our two small dogs and don't like staying in hotels because of how anxious our dogs can get. When we called, Linda only had one cabin left: Top Snaggy. We are so glad that Linda was able to accommodate us for the weekend. Top Snaggy is a wonderful cabin. It was extremely comfortable with very nice beds and it was very well appointed. Our two dogs felt very comfortable, even when they had to stay alone while we were out. With the back yard, it was really easy taking our dogs out to do their "business". Hopefully our next visit to Boone will be under better conditions, but we'll definitely try and stay with Boone Cabin Rentals again. ...
