Dad's place review

jbsh Cornelius,NC
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Only could squeeze in 2 nights in August. Too bad it was not more- a lot more!. Absolutely great place!! So convenient to town, yet so peaceful with an isolated feel. Have stayed at several places in area and this is ,by far, the best!! All the conveniences, a great bed and the BEST scenery possible. We will definitely get back as often as we can!!. JBS/Cornelius,NC
Owner's Response: Hi J and S, I am pleased that you had a pleasant visit to Dad's Place. Please return in other seasons. The creek will be different but always pleasant. Thanks , Dad

Awesome week (9/21 - 9/25)

Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My wife and 2 children (4 and 17 months) had a great week. This was a great cabin close to everything. My kids favorite part of the whole week was throwing rocks into the stream just below the cabin. My in-laws camped at near-by julian price campground. They have been coming to the boone area for 30+ years. My father-in-law said he had been looking for a place like this for 30 years. I am glad i have found it. As long as it is for rent, I will be back. Thanks to the owners for sharing the oppurtunity to stay at Dad's Place. I highly, highly, recommend this cabin.

Great Weekend Escape!!

Review Submitted: May 20, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Dad's Place was exactly as promised...a little piece of heaven for the weekend! Missed our turnoff, but the owner was accessible by cell, and directed us right in, turn by turn!!
Loved the view and the creek and fell asleep each night to the sound of the water thru open windows! A perfect place to "just get away"! Looking forward to coming back whenever possible! Thanks Don!! I have already recommended the place to friends!
Owner's Response: Thanks for your positive review. All seasons are different at Dad's Place but the sound of rushing water is to be appreciated year round.
I think that I have already heard from one of your friends re: booking Dad's Place. Thanks

Welcoming cabin in a beautiful setting!

Steve and Carole Montverde, FL
Review Submitted: February 12, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Thank you for all the extra touches that made our stay so comfortable. The cabin has the convenience of being close to so many sightseeing areas. But when you are at the cabin you feel that you are in a secluded area. The best of both vacation worlds! We hope to visit again.
Owner's Response: Thanks for your positive review. I hope that you can return during the Summer or Fall months and experience a different set of wonderful experiences. Dad

Perfect Getaway

Review Submitted: January 28, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2008
Dad's Place was absolutely amazing. Great quiet vacation if you want seclusion, yet minutes from all the ski lifts. Year round fun whether sitting by the fire at the creek or sitting by the fire inside the cozy cabin. Perfect getaway for any couple.
Owner's Response: Thanks for your positive review of Dad's Place. The cabin is a favorite destination for many couples especially those celebrating anniversaries.
I hope that you can return for another pleasant visit. Dad

great time, comfy place

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
we were worried driving through the sprawl of hwy 221, but this cabin is very secluded for its proximity to Boone. it was very clean and comfortable, the perfect size for a couple. our only small complaint was that the kitchen was a little cramped, and the pots & pans could be replaced. the hot tub is excellent, and the bed was very comfortable. day trips from the cabin were very easy, and Mr. Baucom was very responsive to emails and phone calls. We got engaged while there, so "Dad's Place" will have a special place in our memories- we'll be back for sure!
Owner's Response: CONGRATULATIONS Athens couple, I hope that you will be able to return to Dad's Place to celebrate your anniversaries as several other couples do. Thanks, Dad

Beautiful Cabin

CLTM&T Charlotte, NC
Review Submitted: December 10, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007
My girlfriend and I stayed here in May. It is the perfect place to relax and get away from everything. Yet, you are five minutes from the shops and restaurants. We ate our meals on the little wooden platform that extends into the creek.
Dealing with Dad was pleasant and fuss free.
We will be looking to come back again.
(Sorry for the review posted so late, but we want to make sure that the good experience we had is shared.)
Owner's Response: Thanks for the positive review. We are pleased that you had a pleasant stay and we look forward to your returning . Dad

Perfect for a getaway

MMLS Charlotte, NC
Review Submitted: September 13, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We loved being right on the creek, the sound of the water was peaceful. We had rain and clouds the whole time of our stay, but it didn't matter much. Dad's Place offered us exactly what we wanted - relaxation in a beautiful, secluded cabin. The other cabins nearby were unoccupied so it felt even more secluded.
We definitely recommend this to any couple looking for some quality together time. Dad's Place is well maintained and has everything you'd need.
Owner's Response: Hi Michael, Thanks for your positive review. I hope that you can come back when the sun is shinning and enjoy the creek even more. Dad

It was great!

Review Submitted: April 22, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
It was the perfect place for a getaway. The creek out back was beautiful, and the hot tub was the perfect place to watch the snow fall. The property was clean and well maintained and was in a great location near town but far enough away that it was secluded.

Dad's Place

Shannyn and Andy Durham, NC
Review Submitted: February 27, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
We stayed at Dad's Place Valentine's Day weekend. It was also my first ski trip experience.... the cabin was so perfect that we opted to go night skiing only because we didn't want to leave the cabin! the creek was perfect for exploring and the scenery was amazing! why pay more for a motel room when you can experience Dad's Place! We look forward to coming back as often as we can. thanks for such a wonderful time!!!
Owner's Response: I am so glad that you had a pleasant experience at Dad's Place. I hope that you can visit in different seasons so that you can enjoy the full scope of activities at Dad's Place. Thanks, Dad
