“relaxing” My wife and I had wonderful time and look forward to coming back in the Fall. If I could make one suggestion to management it would be to make guest fully aware of the possibility that there could be flying insect making homes on and or around the rental properties. We encountered a cantelope size hornets nest under the gas grill on the back deck as we were about to grill out. Luckily no one was stung and thankfully there was a can of hornet spray in the pantry. Other than that the stay was fantastic.

“Great House” Great, clean house...perfect weekend getaway!! The Leatherwood resort had the sweetest hospitality!!

“Great place to spend a vacation” Cabin was in great shape and in a prime location. Modern, clean and with everything needed for a long weekend gateway.

“Could have been an excellent vacation . . .” Beautiful location. Gorgeous cabin. The jacuzzi on the deck, a potentially great amenity that is featured in the cabin's online ad, did not work. Very disappointing. Other than that, a wonderful place.

“Mrs.” Outstanding accommodations! Our visit was terminated early due to a death in the family but we hope to be able to return someday. Bear Rest will be our first rental choice.

“Charming home with beautiful view. The holiday decor for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday was a cozy touch.” If you love horses, mountain life and views of the Blue Ridge, Leatherwood is the place for you. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday at Blueberry Ridge. Lovely master bedroom suite, kitchen and living rooms where spacious and the kids loved the foozball table!

“Wonderful as always” House is always clean and welcoming We stayed a week and enjoyed the peace and quiet immensely

“Awesome!” Better than we expected. Photos don't do it justice, what a nice home & sooo comfortable! A few things to note: the upstairs king bed is VERY HIGH. Little stools are provided, but I was nervous to use them, worried I'd miss halfway getting out of bed - would rather fall flat... But it was a great mattress & very comfortable! That's the only bed on the main level, but there is a basement walk-in for the other 2 beds & full bath - just not very easy access for someone disabled - & must do stairs to get to kitchen. 2nd: the drive up to, & down from, the house is extremely steep & windy - not for the wimpy driver or weak vehicle transmission/brakes (nor is it for someone in a hurry!). 3rd: Note! No phone reception, except for land line with your credit card charged. Thank goodness for internet access! We used EMAIL to communicate with anyone we arranged meetings with during our trip. Leatherwood is about 30 minutes to the nearest downtown of Wilkesboro; otherwise there are 2 small convenience stores/gas stations ONLY & nothing else around...so plan your time & needs! We absolutely loved it at Black Bear (my husband & I, his parents & our adolescent sons) & we will be back, God willing!

“Highly Recommend” Staying at Cloud Nine for Christmas was wonderful. Every person we dealt with was so friendly and helpful from the booking process through check-in, barn staff and maintenance. The cabin fit all of our needs. The upstairs bedroom w/bath was perfect for my daughter, her husband and their infant daughter. The rest of us easily fit into the two main floor bedrooms. The only complaint would be that there is no sound buffer between the floor of the upstairs bedroom and the ceiling of the downstairs bedroom. This would not deter from booking this property again, though. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub was a welcome comfort in the evenings. The view was amazing as were the stars at night. The location is perfectly located between Boone, Wilkesboro, and Lenoir. I highly recommend Cloud Nine.

“awesome!” the house was amazingly perfect! The view was incredible - so tranquil and scenic, was so refreshing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the house - which was immaculately cleaned and ready for us. I think the only thing we could think of that needed improvement were the street signs - at night, the signs are hard to read.

“Pure Bliss!” There were 11 of us and a toddler and we all enjoyed being together in this perfect home. They thought of everything and every amenity was available! There were long hours put in on the pinball machine! A great time was had by all and I hope we get to return next year!

“My Review” This was for a wedding and it worked out great. Between all of us I think we had about 6 or 7 houses, and we drove back and forth between them quit a few times. But it was still convenient. The houses were clean and had all the conveniences of home. I would stay again.

“Anniversary” Great location, Friendly and helpful staff, Cabin was furnished with everything needed for our stay. Fireplace, Hot tub, grill, large deck. Will be coming back for another stay very soon.

“The Last Resort was the perfect rental!” My sister and I traveled to Leatherwood Resort for a short get away and horse back riding adventure. We chose The Last Resort rental due to location and price. We were not disappointed. We were at the heart of the resort, next to the barns and restaurant and in a beautiful setting. The smaller rental worked just perfectly for the two of us, as we spent most of our time either riding or exploring the area. Everyone was very helpful and we had a great time. We hope to go back and rent the very same place again. It had everything we needed for the vacation we had planned. Thanks to everyone at Leatherwood Resorts!!!!!

“Awesome!” We had a great time and looking forward to going back again...sitting on the porch listening to the creek made it even better.

“Awesome, secluded cabin for a large group of people// WONDERFUL house” I booked this house very last minute for a post Christmas mountain trip for my family of 8. We had more than enough space and more than enjoyed ourselves. The house is very nice, the views are gorgeous, wonderful hiking trails nearby, and a very responsive staff at Leatherwood. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and fire place and cable and wifi was an added bonus. I was also impressed with the very well-stocked kitchen. Only negative is that it's pretty off the map. We drove to Boone one day and Blowing Rock another and both trips were 30-45 minutes. We wanted to explore, but you could easily come and never leave the cabin. Just be sure to stop at the grocery store :)

“Amazing” Amazing sums up every aspect of this house, the Leatherwood community and the time we had at Palomar.

“Beautiful get away!” We went here to have a family vacation after Christmas. Honalee was perfect! The cabin was lovely and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything you needed to fix a great meal - even spices. We loved taking hikes on the horse trails. It was nice to spend time with family with no distractions. There were lots of movies to watch. A ski mountains were not too far away (an hour more or less). Leatherwood caters to horse owners. But, even if you aren't crazy about horses, you will be pleased. There were some very curvy roads but the views were great. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all in North Carolina, Leatherwood is a good choice. The property is beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful.

“Couldn't have asked for anything better!” Our goal when we booked Livin the Dream, was too have a nice family get away without all the commercialization surrounding us. What we got when we arrived to our "top of the mountain" get away, was so much more than I had anticipated. Not only were we far away from everything, the amazing views of the mountains and comfortable deck chairs were icing on the cake. The giant tub in the master was very inviting and relaxing! My kids enjoyed the pool table, foosball table, and the shuffle board table and hanging out most of the weekend nights in the theater room. I think one night they all fell asleep in the reclining theater chairs. We enjoyed breakfast around the very large dining room table and gathered in the kitchen late at night for snacks and conversation. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing on the couch near the fireplace and watching some tv. The people at Leatherwood were all very courteous and helpful. We ate at the restaurant on 2 different occasions and both times were made to feel like family. I also suggest you try the fish and chips! Best fried fish I have ever had, hands down. We did not come here to ride horses even though there were many here to ride and guides to take you on trails if needed. We were simply looking for a quiet weekend to get away and be with our kids and we couldn't have asked for anything better!! Highly recommend!

“The perfect place for horseman.” Excellent place and very quiet, furnished beyond belief. If any consumable was needed the staff was expedient. A great place for stalling four horses.

“Pleasant mountain cabin” We chose Leatherwood as a long weekend getaway at the last minute. Although the property has horseback riding as a focus, that did not detract from our stay. The cabin was a very nice 2 bedroom cabin with central air (needed it due to very warm weather). The deck and hot tub had great views. The kitchen was very nice as was the living area. The downstairs bath did not have a shower, only a garden tub. The property was a bit off the beaten path requiring about 30-40 minutes to get to Blowing Rock or Boone but the drive was through beautiful undeveloped foothills.

“Wonderful Experience” My wife and I had wonderful time up there. It was everything that we hoped for. The house had beautiful decor and an amazing view. The only complaint is that the internet is through Dish Network and it is extremely slow which for all practical purpose is non existent. Since the place is so isolated and does not have access to a Redbox or any other video rental places, it would be a great addition to have a collection of DVDs.

“Amazing !” We loved this place the minute we walked in ! We were in awe as we kept walking through ! So beautiful and comfortable.

“For a relaxing vacation, Eagle's Nest is the place.” A wonderful family Christmas vacation cabin. At the top of a mountain surrounded by nature,very peaceful and comfortable rooms. The views were amazing and the cabin was beautiful but maintenance issues prevented this cabin from being a 5 star such as broken blinds and sheets that did not fit the bed. Overall, a great place.
