Amazing Stay!
We last stayed here 20 years ago, and it has only gotten better. I Love that they added a Hot Tub! I have been trying to come back for years, but it's always booked. Excellent layout with bedrooms on each floor for privacy - great views! I love the 2 wood-burning fireplaces!! They are so hard to find today. Great cabin - I highly recommend it!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ambleside! The views were amazing and the bed was so comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the hot tub. Our fur babies loved the stay just as much as we did. We will definitely be looking to come back next year.

Wow
Wow! We absolutely loved our "cabin" in the woods! Ambleside was perfect! Great way to unplug, relax and enjoy. Everything was easy through Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals. Great communication and service. Being able to have firewood onsite was an added bonus! Highly recommend!

Great High Country Property
We return time and again to Ambleside, a lovely log home in the special Vilas community of "Little Bavaria." A fitting name for the style of all the log homes, the picturesque fishing pond, and especially the views from the balconies of Ambleside. This property is well equipped with three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a main floor great room which includes the kitchen, a loft office leading to the master bedroom, and a ground floor game room. It is expertly managed and maintained.

Lambert 2yr anniversary
Enjoyed our 2yr anniversary weekend at the Ambleside cabin. We spent a day at Grandfather Mountain and fished in the nearby pond. Always enjoy experiencing a different cabin and scenery each year! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with us ??

Ambleside
This was our first trip to the mountains and couldn’t have been better. The house was in a perfect location with proximity to Boone, Blowing Rock, and Beech Mountain. It was in great shape, well stocked, and had an awesome hot tub looking at Grandfather Mountain. The driveway was a little steep so best to have 4 wheel drive in the winter. The rental company was also great. I left my jacket at the house and they mailed it back to me. I received it in 2 days. We will definitely book this house again! Great experience.

Weekend Escape w/ a View of Grandfather Mountain
Lovely, very comfortable cabin with gorgeous view. This home has a lot to offer. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, each floor has a bedroom, giving everyone their own space. Multiple areas outside to enjoy any kind of weather/activity (hot tub, fire pit, star gazing). We are looking forward to staying there again.

Love Ambleside
We always have a great time at Ambleside. The place is perfect for our family with the 3 levels and it is such a beautiful site. We started this Thanksgiving tradition several years ago and hope to continue for many more years.

Fabulous cabin
Great place for a getaway. Feels very secluded yet not a bad drive into Boone for provisions. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Spectacular Getaway!
This house is beautiful and well appointed. It has terrific amenities and with 3 levels the kids could spread out and enjoy individual activities. Would stay here again!

Our kids' favorite mountain get away
The house is beautiful, spacious, and clean! The views are outstanding! My kids look forward to coming to Ambleside every year now.

Breathtakingly Magnificent!!!
This cabin is beyond perfection! It has absolutely everything you could possibly want in a vacation cabin in the mountains. The cabin is close enough to town that you can be anywhere you want in less than 15 minutes but far enough out that you still feel secluded. I can't emphasize enough how perfect and luxurious this cabin is. Everything went smoothly from booking the reservation, to the friendly and helpful staff checking us in and out. We felt totally spoiled every step of the way and we will be back!!!!

A truly special place
We just stayed at Ambleside for our 4th time. It is absolutely the best cabin. It checks every box for us. The house is beautifully decorated, sparkling clean and you can't beat the privacy. The hot tub is large and positioned away from the house so you can relax with the jets and admire the natural beauty that surrounds you. The fire pit is also in a great location, close to the house so you can run in to refill your wine glass and grab an extra bag of marshmallows. The kitchen is loaded with every gadget and utensil that you could ever need. The 2 wood burning fireplaces are also a great feature. I can't say enough about this cabin. We have stayed in other cabins (which were also nice) but we keep coming back to Ambleside.
