Good to know

- Everyone keeps complimenting the horses and location of this ranch. - HORSES ARE NOT A GUARANTEE...weather, seasonal issues, transporting of the horses etc... odds are better in the late Spring through late Fall. - The Lodge is the top half of the main house and is 1,500 sq ft approximately - The guest house is right separate but right beside the main house and is 450 sq ft with it's own bathroom and kitchen. - Rebecca is available to have A PRIVATE MEET & GREET (must call her to check availability) where you can pet, feed, and comb the horses for a separate fee. Her info will be given out after the booking. (weather permitting) - As of 5/7/25 THE HORSES ARE NOT HERE. REBECCA MAY HAVE ONE AT HER PLACE JUST MINUTES AWAY FOR A MEET & GREET - Two mature dogs allowed for additional fee - $20 per pet per night. **SPECIAL NOTES** - The driveway to the Lodge goes right through the open area that the horses and mini mule roam in. They may crowd you and act like they wanna get out when you open the gates. They are very friendly and just think you want to feed them. They are not permitted outside the main gate to Almost Heaven road. - HEATING SPECIAL NOTE..In the winter it can get brutally cold here! I'm talking like zero degrees and wind. We have a kerosene monitor heater in the den (in addition to the fireplace) that will keep it and the front bathroom and kitchen warm. The master bedroom also has a fireplace and several electric space heaters available. It has gotten cold enough in the past to where the fireplace and space heaters couldn't keep up. It is rare but has happened. Be sure and check the weather for Boone. We're actually 1,200 feet above Boone so it gets even colder, windier and snowier SPECIAL SUMMER NOTE: The lodge does NOT have air conditioning. Most houses up here don't. We have fans that can be ran with the windows open is usually good. It's also less humid. The guesthouse does have a window unit and keeps the 400 sq ft cabin cool

Other Details to Note

-4 Wheel drive recommended during winter months - There is some firewood available to use but once it's depleted, there's no more till next year

Our stay was just great. Such serene and peaceful surroundings, and amazing views! Having the beautiful horses greet us while there was enjoyable and an added bonus. We always enjoy The Local restaurant in Boone, which is close by, when we visit this area. We plan to stay here again on our next visit!

5 stars aren’t enough. We have stayed in several airbnbs/hotels/vrbos over the years and this was by far the cleanest, most beautiful airbnb we have ever stayed in. The view from the master bedroom and kitchen left us speechless. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s so quiet and peaceful, all you can hear are the sounds of nature while sitting on the swing enjoying your coffee in the morning. Every amenity you could need are provided. Hosts are also very timely in responding. We will 100% be back in the future. Thank you Brian and Courtney for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

This property exceeded expectations in every way. The serene horse farm setting offered breathtaking views and a truly peaceful atmosphere. The spacious deck was ideal for both relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. Inside, the home was immaculately maintained and tastefully furnished, with a clear attention to comfort and detail. A perfect balance of rustic charm and modern convenience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a refined countryside retreat.

This vacation was exactly what our family needed and made memories to last a lifetime. The kids loved being able to run around outside and help open the gates. The kitchen window view was incredible and we saw tons of deer roaming through. Unfortunately the horses weren’t there our stay but we hope to return possibly in the summer. Brian and Courtney were nice and super quick to respond. The place was clean and the perfect quiet getaway to rewind and relax.

Totally loved this place!! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous! The horses and deer were a definite added plus! Enjoyed feeding the horses treats. Brian and Courtney's home was beautiful and felt so homey. They were super responsive when I had any questions. Definitely 10/10 recommend!!!

Was fun! We stayed on a very cold weekend. The little sleds outside were a blast for the kids. Beautiful scenery. Morning coffee or evening dinner looking through the kitchen window was a staple.

Brian and Courtney’s place is the perfect location! Close to town but also quiet and relaxing. The horses are super friendly and curious when you first pull in. The views from the kitchen and porch are awesome.

It was a great cabin with amazing Mountain views. Cabin has everything you could need for a full weekend getaway with the whole family. Cabin was located relatively close to downtown Boone. If you’re coming during winter you will need a 4x4 vehicle with snow tires.

This home was so cozy! You cannot beat the view from that kitchen! I only wish the horses were there - but they were moved due to extreme cold. Thanks Brian and Courtney!
