Family-friendly vacation rentals in Alexander County

Jackie was a great host and very communicative! Ended up getting snowed in and they let us stay longer and even came and shoveled the drive way for us! Only 30 minutes from Boone, yet secluded. Would highly recommend taking a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

We spent a few days celebrating my husband’s fortieth birthday and this was the perfect location. Close to downtown Blowing Rock and our first time in Lenoir. Beautiful views, peaceful and quiet, great spaces for our needs. We will definitely consider visiting again.

Beautiful home and surroundings. It is quiet and peaceful with woods and water. The reservoir was beautiful, the water was warm. Great for kayaking. The location was private but close to Walmart,Aldi and other stores.

The house is amazing. Extremely well equipped. Amazing decks, docks etc. Great gas grill. Amazing lower level with bar and game room. All three bathrooms and showers are really nice, including outdoor shower. 😀 All of the wall hangings and niknacs are very nice and make it feel like a real home and not just a rental. I could go on and on but I only have so much space. Thanks for sharing your fabulous home. It made our sons wedding week very special!

we had a wonderful time and the house was very clean.

Amber was very responsive and helpful. This house is idea for families or three couples who want to enjoy each other while having personal privacy. Spacious and comfortable! All amenities are there and working. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommend! I'm a returning guest at Robin's crest and we continue to love this property, it's the perfect spot to take in some amazing views with a cozy fireplace or a nice soak in the hot tub, definitely a great place to stay for your Boone area getaway!

Omega & Jeff were very kind & thoughtful. So were the towns folks. I forgot a medication & my husband needed first aid when he fell. Two women were standing nearby. They got what we needed from Elk Pharmacy. The pharmacist was great. The whole town had that "small town feeling." I would love to go back to the Seaford's home again sometime.

This a great place for any reason! We were on a bachelor trip with friends and it had all of the amenities that we could have possibly needed. Outdoor grill and fireplace were great features that we used a ton, comfortable beds, huge sectional with mounted tv in living room, and privacy from neighboring houses. Lake access was great- settled into the back of a cove- we caught several fish and some of us kayaked out and reported beautiful views of the main portion of the lake. It was a great stay and would highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay! We loved kayaking, swimming in the warm lake, and taking in the 270 degree lake views on the beautiful shaded dock. Frankie and Gordon were available, when needed, to answer any questions and give recommendations for the area. They live on the other side of the property (in a separate building) so it feels as if you have the place to yourself. Thank you for sharing your beautiful location with us.

Beautiful location, close to the family we came to visit. Looking forward to staying here again next time we visit.

The cottage on Maple street is a jewel!!!! We have it saved as our favorite! Clean. Peaceful. Nice touches everywhere including the elephant in the room ….u gotta book to see it! It’s cozy. Full kitchen. Beautiful flowers. Immaculately clean. Preston and Derrick are amazing and super responsive. Even gave us a local sight seeing area we will be going to tomorrow.

Carla was a very thoughtful host. There were snacks, bottled water, coffee and teas with honey, even half and half for the coffee. She provided firewood and skewers for roasting marshmallows. She helped us find the best restaurants with great local recommendations. We even met her dog when we first got there so that everyone was on good terms (no barking, etc.) It's was very easy to have a relaxing weekend at her place.

I can’t say enough good words to describe this little “apartment.” From the moment i opened the door, each room was stunning. The kitchen is immaculate, the bathroom floors are heated, and the bed is fit for royalty! Eddie sends a video at check in to help visualize where everything is situated. I certainly hope to stay again and enjoy more time on the beautiful patio. Thank you, Eddie and Larry!

Our intergenerational family had a great time. It took a bit of time to adjust to the quirks of the home, like most places we have been, but by day 3 we felt at home. Lots of time spent on the lake with the water toys which was great. We highly recommend the rental for those. It is a beautiful area and we liked that the home was an older log house that fit in with the environment. I will note that the room with two beds had twin beds, not double—two adults could not have slept in one bed. We still had enough beds for us with the extra cot. It is a beautiful setting with a great deck for viewing the lake.

This is our second time at this cabin and it is one of favorite places. Susan even put up a Christmas tree which was wonderful. Will be back!

Loved the mountain vibes and remote location!!! Gorgeous house with great amenities

Very comfortable lots of space very relaxing would love to stay again

We were immediately impressed with this house. Actually even better than shown in the photos. SO clean and well equipped. Plenty of books, games, puzzles and DVDs available. The deck was fabulous. Our only recommendation was add a couple more rockers for the covered area of the deck. We had one rainy day during our stay and sitting on the deck to enjoy it was fantastic! We also made good use of the gas fire table. Susan’s response time when we reached out was close to immediate and helpful. Overall, we had a fabulous week and having such a comfortable place to stay was a huge part of it! Thank you!

A lovely light filled home in a gated community. Very private and peaceful. We saw deer, turkeys and ducks. Since it is in the woods expect the usual bugs etc. Enjoyed coffee on the porch looking at the incredible view. The clubhouse and pool is a 5 minute walk. The location is a good 30 minutes from Boone. The roads are curvy and winding and you often need to stop for deer. We have family and friends in Boone so we were driving a lot. George was very nice and accommodating. He was in the owner’s apartment a few times to work on the property and I barely knew he was there. The WiFi and phone service was spotty. If I didn’t need to be in Boone so much, I would absolutely stay there again.
