We enjoyed staying at this property over the holiday - good location for going between Boone and the lake. Beautiful view. Bunk room was a little odd, but the bed on the landing was helpful. Drive from road was good and short with some steep incline (but paved).

We had some small hiccups but BRPR did everything they could remedy any issues. I would highly recommend renting from them.

Thank you so much! We really appreciate you working with our team, and we'd love to have you back again! - BRMR

The house is beautiful and the view is miraculous. The tvs didn't work in the bedrooms. The front door code wasn't working, but we were able to get in through the garage. We saw a bear the first night there, which was really cool. I loved how quiet the neighborhood was.
- Diana , Posted: 09/03/2024
Thank you! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and saw a bear from a safe distance, but we are sorry there were issues with the code at check in and with the tvs. We are sharing this with our team so that we can look into this further. We'd love to have you back anytime! - BRMR

If you are coming to the area to play disc golf at North Cove, this is a great spot. Nice view from the backyard, you can see part of the boulders course below. Bunk bed room is very small though and probably would be stuffy with two adults in there. Overall a very nice location and house.

This place was fantastic. The house was perfect, both inside and out. The view off of the back porch is more incredible than it looks in the picture. Everything was clean. Highly recommend and will likely book again when we are back in the area.

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come back and enjoy the views anytime! - BRMR

Porridge Pot was the perfect getaway for our family this Spring Break. The views from the back porch/yard are amazing. We filled our days with hiking local trails and came home to relax in the hot tub. Outdoor fire pit was perfect for s’mores and watching the sun go down. The game room features air hockey, Pac Man, Mortal Combat and a golf game. It was enjoyed by all members of our party both young and old. We could not figure out the heat in the game room so we just bundled up whenever we went in to play. Kitchen was well stocked with all basic essentials including a crock pot. The king bed in master bedroom was so comfy we slept great the entire stay. Our family would highly recommend staying at Porridge Pot and we hope to visit it again in the future. Also, the road once you enter the community is steep, but paved so be prepared. We had a FWD vehicle and it was fine, but we did not drive in inclement weather.

Our group had a great time exploring the surrounding areas and loved the cabin. It had great views, plenty of space and was just as expected based on the photos, description and reviews. Communication with host was easy and quick! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to spend time away. Highlights of the trip were proximity to hikes at Linville Falls and Jonas Ridge Snow tubing. The house is very well appointed with a fire pit and game room. Comfortable living spaces as well.
