"very pleasant stay, cabin clean and comfortable"
Service was top notch. The cabin was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and secluded. Hot tub was great. Staff and guests were very friendly. Great spot for trail riding for miles. Will definitely go back. But have not received deposit back yet.

"Perfect vacation for the family & friends, including our dog and"
The superior service began the moment I contacted Leatherwood. Since this was our first visit,I had several questions and concerns that were promptly responded to. When we arrived, there was a packet waiting for us with complete instructions, keys and a map to our cabin. Once we had our trailer parked safely there was a mad dash to see inside the cabin. The only words spoken were "Wow!" We were giddy with excitement. As we unloaded our horses, I realized they too had first class accommodations, not 10 feet away from the cabin.Besides the stalls with built in feeders, there was a nice tack room and a water hose nearby. While unpacking, we heard people calling "Hello" and realized there were riders on a trail within a short distance of our cabin. We could ride out and immediately pick up 3-4 different trails which we quickly took advantage of. The cabin was first class, lacked for nothing and was every bit as good as the ad said. Whether spending time on the deck or inside, the views were spectacular. After a day of riding we could enjoy the hot tub or soak in a hot bath or shower inside, then sink into a luxury leather sofa curled up under down throws or go up to the loft and play cards at the game table. It was so roomy, we never felt like we were in anyone's way. The trail maps are excellent; we never got lost and were able to tell beforehand what the severity of the trail was. Every rider we met along the way was friendly and helpful. The only problem was our horses. Not being used to stall confinement, they were pretty cranky after a two days. One stop by the office fixed that. We simply moved them down the mountain to a paddock area where they could play, especially when we took one day and headed to Blowing Rock. The ladies in the office could not have been more helpful, they deserve many thanks from us. I think our reservation for a return trip in april says a lot about how much we enjoyed Leatherwood. See you soon!

"Relaxing vacation we will never forget"
Fantastic rental home. Gorgeous view, secluded yet easy access. Large stalls, home equiped with everything we needed. One of the best and most relaxing vacations I have been on. Rental and restaurant staff very curteous and friendly. Family atmosphere! We will be visiting again!

"First family mountainous experience"
Summers Dream was an beautiful home with breathtaking views and great area to walk dogs. We don't have horses...yet! But the stalls were a great place for our dogs to hang instead of their crates while we went to Blowing Rock for a day. Our kids loved the hot tub at night and building forts during the day! The house was very well set up for the five of us and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking our meals. A hammock and some more chairs on the deck would have been nice but in no way hindered our vacation. We went on the two hour horse back riding and they loved that as well! I would recommend this home to anyone! Loved it!

"Our stay at Leatherwood was fantastic!"
Summers Dream is a beautiful home away from home.It is in a wonderful location and had all the amenities a renter needed. The views were wonderful. The service we received was great. Everyone was very cordial and helpful to us. We look forward to returning to Leatherwood in the very near future.

"We certainly would come back and recommend this location to all"
We used the Internet to find this location and it looked like it offered a quiet location with a cabin view from the mountainside that we were looking for. Reviews were mainly positive and we have learned that you cannot go by these exclusively but in fact it was fantastic and cannot imagine how anyone could see this differently. We were only there a few days but never saw a single person while at the cabin and found it very peaceful. We have a 5 year old daughter and found the location to be pretty safe for young ones although we would not have let her play outside as it is a mountain after all. If we plan a trip to the area again we would not need to look further than leatherwood and have already recommend the location to others. The only thing I can criticize is that the local Lowes Foods is a bit pricey and not well kept up for a grocery store, however there is a Walmart right across from it and I would certainly go there next time.

"A most wonderfu, relaxing stay in the mountains"
I've rented with Leatherwood before and as ususally everyone I worked with in the office was great. They are pleasant and very helpful. The home we stayed in was beautiful. It had a great view. It was so quiet and peaceful the entire time we stayed. We loved the hot tub and the pool table. We plan to take future trips to Leatherwood. I would definitely and have referred my friends to Leatherwood. We do plan to stay here again in the future!

"Summers Dream was everything we wanted and more!"
We wanted an exciting, relaxing vacation...we got it at Summer's Dream. The folks at Leatherwood were extremely helpful with everything from directions to hottub advice. Summer's Dream was all we hoped for. Our horses were comfy in their stalls and the trails were literally right out back. The upstairs bedroom was incredible as we could stargaze every night from our bed. Spacious but cozy...we were in heaven. In fact, except on horseback we never came off the mountain!...all week!!! The views from the hottub (and the deck) were simply breathtaking. Several mornings I awoke before dawn and sat on the deck with coffee and watched and the view change from starlight to sunrise...truely awsome to see!!! We played pool everyday. Wow! Something we had not done since our dating days. The only thing we didn't like about our stay at Summer's Dream was leaving. I cried.

"A wonderful cabin with a beautiful fall folliage view & privacy!"
We enjoyed very much our stay at Summer's Dream. The cabin was very clean & beautifully decorated. The view was everything I was told it would be! However check in & cabin service was poor- was not informed prior to my visit that a weekend event was going on which had an effect on activities & eats. Should not have to fix my bed after hours of traveling or put them to wash. Otherwise, great time.

"Great vacation home for riders!"
I stayed in this home last year, and convinced my friend to come ride our horses and stay here this year. What a wonderful place Leatherwoods is for horse people! Our horses were comfortable in the large stalls, the tak room was big and the house, well, stunning! The views are wonderful and the trails start right at the house. I will be staying at Summmers Dream again!

"family time"
Weather wet, but that does not stop us. Minor hickups with the house, but for our short stay, that did not become a issue. Good time. Sorry to hear about the man and his horse that took a fall. Hope he gets well soon.

"Excellent getaway!"
My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway for our anniversary. We had been to Leatherwoods before with friends, but used one of the camp sites. This trip was very relaxing and the house had everything we needed, including the stalls for our Mules right out the back door. We didn't want to leave and will definately go back. We looked at other houses with stall/barn accommodations, but did not see one we would rather stay at. Kudos to the owners!

"Very enjoyable!"
Summers Dream offers a great view of the mountains in a relaxing atmosphere. I'd suggest a few more chairs on the back deck so more people can enjoy the breathtaking views. The cabin was very clean and has a nice layout on the main floor. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!
