Wonderful home in a gated community
The home had everything we needed and far more, fully stocked kitchen, hot tub, a game room with a foosball table, pinball machine and a full size arcade game loaded with tons of options, plus a cache of board games. The interior is tall ceilings, a full wall of windows, beautiful pine walls and ceilings, comfortable furniture, large smart TV in each bedroom, living room, and game room. It is very private, has a creek right beside the house. We loved it and hope to return soon

Great location
This property is located in a central location allowing my family and I to go out for the day and not have to travel too far. From Boone, Grand Father Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Blowing Rock, it's all very close by. We had a couple of issues with the property but the staff was responsive and communicative.

Child Shocked by Uncovered Outlet
Our child was shocked by an electrical outlet that didn't have a cover plate where you had to plug-in the arcade machine - he was hurt and really upset. There were dirty things when we arrived despite paying a cleaning and pet fee - dirty spoons in garbage disposal and drawer, food in dog bowl, water in coffee pot, trash in the yard and on the porch, dirt pile/debris on the side of the staircase, etc. Nice location and pretty property but the safety issue and uncleanliness when we arrived were upsetting. Pinball machine is awesome but randomly stops working and searching for 5 missing balls after a few plays.

Nice Location but many things were not working and it was not very clean-frustrating stay
The property was pretty outside however we have never had an issue with a property and had many with this one. Ice maker was broken, bedroom had a heavy leather coverlet and no blankets, dishwasher didn't work, pinball machine didn't work, floors were not vacuumed well, the floor mats in all the bathrooms were filfthy and worst of all the door to the 3rd "bedroom" was not really a bedroom a pull out couch only and was unusable as the door to the bathroom was not functional so we had to squeeze ourselves into 2 bedrooms! The property manager was nice and tried to help the best she could but there was so many damaged items even the handy man said it was ridiculous and he would need a lot of time to fix so many things. I spent much of the trip messaging with the manager but finally gave up as it was just further ruining what was to be a special vacation. By the way, the only reason I left 3 stars for check in process is we had requested a early check in which I understand is not always possible however cleaning had left way before we came and instead of letting us in a little early we stood outside in the cold continually checking the lock code which didn't work until 4. Overall not the quality properties we usually rent with VRBO.

Amazing stay!
I was searching for a place for months before we booked and read every review I could prior to booking so my review is very detailed :) This cabin was perfect in every way! It’s set in the cutest gated community and still has so much privacy. We had deer right outside the house the first morning and my kids loved that! We didn’t have a far drive to Grandfather mountain so we hiked that one day with the kids and dog. Hawksnest tubing was fun for the kids and also a short drive. The cabin itself had everything we were looking for when booking. The house was decorated so nicely for Christmas with a tree and garland (exactly as seen in photos) The game room had a pullout bed and bathrooom along with an Xbox! We couldn’t get the pinball machine to work but we already expected that based off the reviews. The gas fireplace was perfect!!!! We never used the hot tub so I don’t have a review on that. We went 12/22/23-12/27/23 and the weather was in the 40s so although it rained 2 days straight we did not get snow. It literally snowed 2 days after we left!! Blowing Rock was a very short drive so we ate at the Town Tavern a few times and the food was amazing. We also ate at Bella’s in Boone 2x because it was that good. Walmart, Publix and liquor stores are all very close! Just a heads up… if you go over Christmas mostly everything is closed Christmas Eve or closes very early which is to be expected. BOOK THIS CABIN!! You’ll be glad you did!

Beautiful cabin
We loved our stay at Gaits of Paradise. The floor to ceiling windows were ere beautiful and they had games we could play in our down time. We e have littles and there wasn’t a whole lot to put away to make it safe for them and any breakables. It’s in a gated community which was also really nice and local to all the attractions!

Labor Day family get together
The inside of the house is as amazing as the pictures. We spent some time on the pinball machine and arcade. Played board games on the table. Cooked meals in the well stocked kitchen. Son and Son-in-law had a great time outside at the firepit and in the hot tub. Walked around the property several mornings. It is a steep driveway, but well worth it for the feeling of isolation. Location was great to get to the Blue Ridge parkway. Grocery stores were close. Town was easy to get to. Felt very safe. We had so much fun with all the amenities that we did not even turn on the TV. Great long weekend!!! Thank you

Great stay, great location
Wonderful stay, super clean house, really wonderful location which was close to everything, yet hidden away. You felt like you were in your own private forest once at the home. Our only suggestion for improvement is to ensure the 3rd bedroom only having a sleeper sofa is more cleared outlined for others. Our family member found it a bit uncomfortable but that is our only area of opportunity for the home. Would stay again.

The perfect place for our stay
It rained almost the entire time we were there, so this spacious cabin gave us plenty of space to relax and stay dry. The place overall is a bit dark inside, but the view through the large wall of windows was so beautiful, especially when the sun finally came out. The area is perfect for leisurely walks, with a nearby pasture that almost always had deer grazing. We would recommend this property to anyone who is visiting this area.

Good not great
The house was nice, but not as clean as I’m accustomed to. Thick layer of dust in the house, excerpt in the table tops. Couldn’t use the outdoor furniture because it was all covered with dirty covers and when removed, the furniture was dirty too. The hot tub wasn’t clean. Slimy film inside the tub. Indoor fireplace didn’t work. The heat inside was on some type of timer. We would lower the temp for nights and it would go back up. We sweated all night. The outside of the property looked rough and was not tidy or clean.

Great Mountain Getaway!
We had a wonderful getaway to Gait to Paradise! We loved the privacy of the cabin, yet it was so close to everything Boone and Blowing Rock has to offer. We really appreciated the paved road entrance into the community—easy access yet seemed very private. Driveway is steep but we had no problems—however I would recommend arriving for the first time before dark if possible. Loved hiking around the property with our Labrador and she LOVED the creek in the front yard! We also had many deer visitors in the front of the cabin—7 of them at once one morning! We enjoyed the game room—especially the pinball game. We did a mix of cooking and going out for food—kitchen had everything we needed. Loved being close to Boone and Blowing Rock restaurants—10-15 minutes away at most. Property management was very easy to contact, and check-in and check-out process was seamless. We really appreciated how pet friendly the property was—even providing water bowls, leashes, and a crate. I think our dog Olive had the best time of all of us! Can’t wait to return!

Great Location for a Getaway
Overall this house was great. It had the right amount of privacy, a beautiful layout inside the house, and was close to Boone, Blowing Rock, and a few of the other area attractions. Communication was clear and easy. Just a few points of feedback - 1) non-working indoor fireplace 2) pinball machine was short lived as the balls disappeared after a few plays 3) no foosball balls so had to use a ping pong ball 4) white flourescent ligtbulbs in the high ceilings could be improved by using a warmer light for better atmosphere 5) Felt some sandiness in the downstairs bed. Combining this with the fact that we didn't have to strip the beds leads one to believe that the sheets may not always be washed
