There was an abundance of food - seconds and thirds were had, with plenty left over the next day for the wedding after party! Thank you, Kristina and Boondock's for a job well done!'

Prime Rib with asparagus and she had Shrimp Scampi. I tasted it all and it was some of the best restaurant food I have ever had. The noodles on her scampi were the freshest I've ever tasted. My Prime rib was fantastic. Then we tried their Mississippi Mudpie with Irish coffee ice cream, wow! If you are anywhere near, make the effort you won't regret it.

Drinks were great... my old fashioned was on the pricuer side but was enormous. I only needed one. My wife had 2 glasses of Malbec and loved it. Everything was affordable particularly compared to the food quality which was GREAT. Everything tasted fresh and made with a personal level of care that you rarely find anymore. Whoever the chef is, they are GREAT! We will absolutely be going back and taking friends and family with us. Book your reservation wayyyyy in advance!

To say that the Mast Farm Inn was wonderful is simply not enough. From the time you step on…read moreproperty you are transported to another world. A world of yore filled with peace and comfort. The staff is immeasurably kind, the other folks staying in the house and cottages around you cannot help but share in this kindness. It's like going to a family reunion while also having peace and space to yourself. The rooms are the definition of comfort - and yes, tv's are nowhere to be found. It's a freeing feeling where you can just focus on those around you. Small radios are in each room and old radio stories on cd are available for your enjoyment during your stay. There's large clawfoot tubs large enough for two, and each item is delicately chosen to stay within the realm of an old farmhouse from long ago. There are treats and coffee available at all hours of the day and night, a delicious breakfast that is 2nd to none, and a social every day with meats, vegetables, and cheeses that is unlike anything you've had before. We decided to enjoy ours on the front porch in rocking chairs and I must say that it was one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole stay! The town around the Inn is stunningly charming. It feels like one should be walking or taking a wagon from the Inn, rather than driving, to the General Store or to Over Yonder restaurant which is just a short distance from the Inn. I cannot speak highly enough of this B&B. We will definitely be back and if you're considering staying, consider no longer. Reserve now!

They have a nice variety of flavors and they are baked fresh to order. The store is very a aesthetically pleasing. The decor and ambiance are beautiful. Service was also very friendly and helpful. The girl helped explain the different options and was patient while we debated all the amazing choices! I was unable to take any pictures of our cookies because my family and I devoured them the second the box hit the table! Hahaha. The cookies take about 15 minutes to be ready, so just be prepared to wait. Trust me, it's worth the wait!!

There are a lot of large cookie type shops out there and they always get it very very wrong…read more Appalachia is the exception. Brought my family in and we got 8 cookies to share over a weekend. The cheesecake cookie may be one of my favorite things ever, chewy and spiced perfectly, their ferrero rocher one has deep chocolate flavor. Family loved the chocolate chip, sugar and animal cracker flavor. Highly recommend. When we were in our way out of Boone heading back home we stopped and grabbed another 6. I also should add that ordering ahead will save you about 20 mins.

Stolen Anniversary My wife & I wanted a little get away…read morefor our anniversary & didn't want to stay at a national chain hotel so we found hemlock. We booked 2 nights for the 10th & 11th nothing major. I wrenched my back pretty bad before we were going had to cancel on the 7th. The owner told my wife no refund & that's OK I understand the cancelation policy but would not let us rebook for a later date. My wife has tried to contact the owner a couple of times & no response. Wanted to book locally but not again in Boone if this is the way they treat guests. So if you book there you better hope life doesn't show up outside of their cancelation policy. Mike Garcia
