"Nice, clean, cozy & unpretentious. Room layout and amenities were excellent."

Bluegreen Vacations Blue Ridge Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We spent the weekend hanging out on the gazebos with friends! What a great way to relax for the beautiful weather this weekend"

Heritage Hill Cabins

8/10 Good

"The Heritage Cabin was a very nice rental. Location was in the heart of Valle Crucis, close to Boone and Banner Elk. The cabin is furnished nicely, comfortable beds and beautiful porch overlooking the mountains. The only thing I wasn’t aware of was the fact that there was no WiFi in the cabin which made phone calls and internet difficult. Also many rather steep steps to get up to the cabin from parking area, so be aware of that. Otherwise it is a lovely cabin in the mountains."

4 Seasons at Beech Mountain

8/10 Good

"I had the two-level double queen bed suite. Great for a family or couple(s) on a getaway. Great kitchen, closets, and storage space, and 2 bathrooms &2 entrances which was very convenient. Could use some updating, but if you're going for that lodge feel, this is a great option not far from town."
