This was one of the best places on Airbnb. Great Dane had everything we ever needed during our stay except food. Highly recommend this place. Our teenager enjoyed the loft.

Great Stay!
by Marge Leatherwood
Our family had a great time at the Great Dane. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Our grandchildren loved the loft that was set up for kids. The custom furniture in the house was beautiful. The view from the house was amazing. Our grown kids had a great time zip lining in the Leatherwood Mountains and horseback riding. The staff in the visitors center were very accommodating and friendly. We can’t wait to go back!

The Great Dane made our week special
by BobIt just keeps getting better. This is our 16th year at Leatherwood for MerleFest, and The Great Dane made our week special. I can tell the owners work hard to make everything easy for guests, and the place just has a great “vibe”. Must be God and dogs. :). A very sincere and heartfelt 5 stars. Thanks for having us all, weather can’t slow us down! Kind regards, Bob, Ian, Christy, Flora, Julia, Stella, Felix,and, of course, Tucker.

Great Dane
by ElaineCould not recommend the Great Dane MORE!! The accommodations were perfect for my family of 9 and our three large dogs. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need for the perfect mountain getaway…even for our fur babies! Games, hot tub, firepit, ring toss, and awesome mountain views. The house itself was gorgeous, extremely well maintained and very clean. We LOVED our stay. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Fun Stay
by Ruth F.
The Great Dane is a great property and a fun place to stay. Our only complaint is that the place had not been well cleaned before our stay. It looked like it had been cleaned a month or so ago and then left to sit. There was a very thick coating of dust on all the surfaces
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to having you again. Thank you for mentioning the dust, we will be sure follow up with the house keepers.

Perfect Mountain House
by Abby B.
The house is even better in person! Great views, cute living room, and plenty of space for everyone. Hot tub worked great. The wrap around porches were the best part.
Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you again soon!

Perfect Escape
by Trevor S.
The Great Dane Mountain Lodge provided the absolute perfect getaway for our family. From the moment we walked into the door, we knew it would be a memorable weekend. The owners have thought of everything, from an assortment of toys for our 3 year old son, beautiful coffee bar, adorable amenities for the dog to thoughtful and well designed decor. We sat in the hot tub at night with an unpolluted sky and could see every star. The view from the cabin is beautiful. The property is beyond expectations with miles of hiking trails, and even swings for the kids under the porch. Can't wait to come back for a long weekend in the summer!
Thank you for your feedback! We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay....We hope you will come back again soon!

Fourth of July Getaway
by Anna S.
This is our second time staying at this property. When we visited in December, we loved it so much that we wanted to come back and visit in the summer. We were able to bring our kayaks and spend a morning at Kerr Lake (about 30 minutes away), and we also enjoyed hiking behind the property. We attempted to trail ride, but didn't book soon enough and they were all sold out. We will have to come back and try again. This is such a lovely and thoughtful place, and it's evident that the owners put a lot of work and love into making it better and better.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Great Dane, and we look forward to having you again!

We enjoyed so much of the things at The Great Dane. However - the operation of the TV’s was confusing and difficult to use as the remote function was un familiar to everyone in our group. We missed most of the Olympics during our stay but were able to watch some TV on our last day. More detail instructions on using the remotes is needed. Particularly for the multiple remotes in the great room. One more wish - more waste baskets in the bedrooms...with only two bathrooms we had only three trash cans on the main and lower level.

Perfect weekend getaway!
by Janey K.
We love visiting the mountains and wanted our family to experience the area as a way to celebrate 3 birthdays! the location was fantastic being within the leatherwood resort - in fact we want to visit when it is a little nicer out to explore more trails and the pool/park & horse back riding. The house was so cute and cozy - wonderfully decorated. THE VIEW - AMAZING. The loft area was well stocked for kids and my boys spent a majority of the time inside up there playing. They also loved running around the deck and playing on the swings. It was a very conducive environment for adult relaxation/fun while keeping the kids entertained! We also found it VERY helpful that this rental was so accomodating of pets. It was clear there is a love for dogs - with dog bowls available and dog treats. This was a wonderful touch. We had a great time laughing, playing games, and making new memories. Can't wait to come back!
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us here at Great Dane, and we look forward to having you again. We're so glad that your whole family got to enjoy the cabin and resort.

It was Amazing!! We didn’t want to leave. We road into Boone and had breakfast at the Daniel Boone inn and walked around town. We also enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating at the spacious dining table. We also enjoyed playing games and putting puzzles together at the dining table. We took walks within the gated community and it is so beautiful and then we came back to the hot tub to help with our sore muscles. It was a great time and we will definitely be going back. 5 stars all the way.

We enjoyed The Great Dane very much. It’s located 3 miles up the mountain from the main gate with lovely views of trees and mountains. Nice big porches to relax and enjoy the view. Very well equipped with extras like K-cups, plenty of towels and medicine in the laundry room.
6 of us stayed at the house including my 93 year old father who enjoyed the master bedroom and the amazing furniture built out of tree trunks. We loved the animal themed bedrooms, the hot tub and the swings on the porches.
My niece had a lovely wedding at the log cabin and a fun reception in the covered area. We thought the venue was an amazing place to get married. Lots of family and wedding guests stayed at various homes in Leatherwood.
Overall we enjoyed Leatherwood and The Great Dane!
