“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!!!!!

“Adventure lodge” The cabin was great. Diane was wonderful to work with making sure everything was fine. Kitchen ware was all I'm good condition which made cooking much nicer. The ride up the driveway was very exciting Look forward to returning for another relaxing vacation.

“Home away from home” I own my own business, so any time away is especially precious. Kilkelly's West Wing Cottage was the perfect fit. Unlike the institutional feel of a hotel room, the West Wing is like a home away from home. Immediately, we felt comfortable and relaxed. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well kept. The rooms were equipped with every possible item anyone would need, even a tea kettle and grill accessories for the gas grill. The commercial like ice maker was an unexpected surprise. They even provided a small cooler for day trips. Normally in a hotel room, I am loathe to touch anything and notice the dirt and traces of previous guests. Immediately you can see how clean and welcoming the West Wing is - I had no hesitation using any of the amenities. We are very picky travelers and the West Wing exceeded our expectations. The breakfast casserole was so good I even got the recipe! There are several televisions with satellite, DVD, Blue-Ray, etc - available but we never even turned them on. It was so relaxing enjoying the sunrise, sunset and mountain views, we had no need for the outside world. We would not hesitate to come back and highly recommend the West Wing! :)

“Absolutely perfect vacation getaway!” This place is absolutely breathtaking! There are so many things to do here, it is perfectly located on the river, and the cabin itself is stunning! We all had the best time here and are already hoping to plan another trip back soon! We want to thank the owners for letting us stay here and making such wonderful memories. We truly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to go back!

“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.

“The best of the best” I have been visiting and staying in rental places in Western NC for many years and the Kilkelly Cabin has no peer. The cabin is perfect and the views other worldly but the best part of the experience are the hosts. Joanie and Gary made sure our stay was more than we ever could have imagined. We celebrated my son's graduation from App St, my Mom's 80th birthday and Mother's Day all in one spectacular long weekend. It literally could not have been better. 5 stars are not nearly enough. Thanks Joanie and Gary. We'll be back

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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!

“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 :)

“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!

“Beautiful all around” This house was so nice! You can tell they paid attention to all the details. We had an excellent time great location. You will not be disappointed.

“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.

“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!

“The most relaxing of Vacations - In stunning surroundings” My fiancé and I have stayed at Fallcreek cabins on many occasions. The cabins are conveniently situated between Boone and Wilkesboro. Within 5 minutes of leaving the highway you find yourself at the cabins, nestled serenely amongst the trees above the creek. The peace and quiet is what hits you first, closely followed by the fresh air. I have stayed at several of the cabins at Fallcreek over the years and all of them are uniquely decorated with some lovely home touches. They are spotlessly clean and comfortable, providing you with all the conveniences you could want for the week. Although there is TV, DVD player etc. we prefer to sit outside, relax in the hot tub or maybe build a fire in the fire pit. The welcome addition of wifi however means you can still keep in touch with friends and family. The seclusion of the Creekside overlook cabin is excellent and you will enjoy complete privacy. Fortunately you don't need a SUV or Truck to get to the cabins (In spring or summer) as the tracks are well maintained and not too steep. A great relaxing getaway, providing a lovely way to unwind and reconnect with nature and those you love.

“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.

“The house and setting allowed us to relax and get away from the” My wife and I spent a relaxing 3 weeks at the Crest. The setting is beautiful and the house is quite comfortable. We spent our time reading and taking day trips to nearby towns and attractions and our city dogs loved being able to roam around the woods off-lead. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife around the house such as deer and a wild turkey. The cool air and mountain vistas were quite a treat for flatlanders such as us who normally endure the misery of august in south Louisiana.

“Wow!!!!” Let me say this place was like a home away from home! It's out in the middle of nowhere I can tell you how much I enjoyed the porch in the morning and evening, over looking the rolling hills. Close enough to boone to not worry about driving with a grocery store about half way. Will definitely be in contact with the owner for my next rental!!!!

“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.

“Amazing get away!!!” My wife and I stayed at Fall Creek Cabins (FCC) - Serenity Ridge this past weekend. It was a much needed 'getaway' in a magnificent location. The cabin offers a secluded and relaxing atmosphere while having all the creature comforts of home. The crackling fire adds to this rustic setting. When your at the cabin you feel like your in 'another world', but you can easily be at the nearest store for needed supplies in a matter of 10-15 minutes. The location is also very convenient for day trips to Boone, Blowing Rock and other interesting places. The staff at was fantastic at assisting with setting up our trip and helping insure we had all the pertinent information.

“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!

“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.
