At 17.00 we were served wine and a cheese plate and we got help to find a lovely restaurant for the evening.

It felt so said to leave this lovely couple and their wonderful home!

Cool native rock features up a "hikeable" mountain right behind the two new and rustic-feeling cabins. Pretty secluded in between two mountains with a nice stream running through the property. Looking forward to bringing my whole family back! Thanks yall!

We used A Lark Creations for my daughters wedding August 27, 2016. Dana was fabulous! I actually…read morewas reluctant originally to hire a planner for the big day. I was so glad we did! It rained before our outdoor wedding. Oh my! Dana and her helpers were out there facilitating bringing everything inside the garage so it would not get wet and ruined not only once but twice! Yes it rained twice! They also assisted with the whole wedding setup, florist and appetizers which I chose to do myself. The whole time they did it with smiles, grace, respect and with a true desire to please us and try to remove any stress from us. I can't express enough how much we appreciated Dana and her crew! We highly recommend A Lark Creations. They will make you happy as a lark if you use their services.

First, my wife and I would like to acknowledge that this is a local business that lost most…read moreeverything due to hurricane helene, and along with our community we feel for them and hope sincerely they can rebuild That being said, if you plan to book this company for any catering event, in any season, please read their Natural Disaster policy, and know you will be given zero grace and could lose thousands of dollars for an event you did not get to have due to a unprecedented natural disaster. My wife and I worked very hard to save for our 9/27/24 wedding. We knew it would be a rainy week, but no one expected a hurricane to hit our mountain town. We woke to a message from them the morning of the event, as we were evacuating our flooding wedding venue that read "What is your plan for today? Are you looking at rescheduling?  At this point is is unsafe for anyone to be on the roads, so we are wondering what the plan is! Thanks so much, stay safe!" Clearly, our focus was on our safety and our loved ones, and once we made it to safety we knew there was no way we would be having our wedding on this day. We then told our day of coordinator, once we got cell service briefly, to tell everyone to stay home. We understand they spent money on the food, we by no means expected a full refund. But like our other local vendors, who had a similar policy, we expected a partial refund. My advice, book with the utmost caution and know zero grace will be given.m Reply to Azafran response: The reason for a three week delay in requesting a partial refund was out of respect for you and your business. I saw that your kitchen was flooded and decided it would be best to wait to reach out to give you time to cleanup and recover. My wife and I live here, we are apart of this community, we wanted to wait for a more appropriate time to discuss business, seeing the devastation our community has faced, including your business. In my initial email I never once "demanded" a refund. I requested a partial refund, fully understanding we would be paying for the food cost your company had already absorbed to cater our event, given we never received the product due to a natural disaster out of either party's control, we felt a partial refund request was within reason. It is incredibly misleading to label our cancellation message as last minute. At 7:45am we received a message from you saying that it was unsafe for anyone to be on the roads. You insinuated that it would be impossible to cater our event with that message. Again, we were evacuating our flooding venue with zero cell phone service, trying to communicate with not only our vendors, but also our family and friends. Once we received cell service, we reached our day of coordinator, who communicated with everyone to stay home, I am posting this review to let potential customers know that with Azafran they are not sent a contract full of clauses to sign. They are only sent an invoice with a price. It is only on the bottom of the website that you will learn that they offer no refunds for inclimate weather, again including natural disasters. We want future customers to understand that Azafran will show you zero grace and is unwilling to reach a compromise.

Absolutely amazing experience with Liza and her team!! Family vacation in Blowing Rock was made by…read morethe wonderful dinner they made. Communication was great! Super collaborative! To accommodate 9 people is a lot and everyone was dying over how amazing every dish was. The biggest struggle we had was not licking the bowls clean because we knew we needed to keep room for more. Also leftovers were given which was unexpected but super great. Everyone loved all the local aspects of every dish. Knowing it was helping local farmers just made the experience even better. Liza and her team are seriously phenomenal!! If we ever have the chance to have this private dinner experience again in Blowing Rock area, there is zero doubt we will be calling them up again. Still dreaming about this dinner !!!

I had to make a quick trip to Boone a couple of months ago and remembered seeing the cutest hotel…read more I found it online and was happy to be able to book it last minute. Not only was the room the cutest, it was also CLEAN!! There were snacks, water, tea, and brochures for local sights along with coupons. woohoo! Check in and out was super simple. I received an email a few days later from management asking if I left a TN waterfall book. Yep, it was me. They mailed it to me free of charge!! I highly recommend and will be staying again myself.

The Blue Ridge Tourist Court is very cute and a great option if you want to skip the normal hotels…read more The rooms are small but have great details and are comfortable too! I was there over the Fourth of July weekend and out of 10 rooms, there were only 2 others that had occupants for one night each. So if you see it says "this is the last queen room!" That is probably not true. The old check in building has been turned into a community space with a small area to pay for snacks and souvenirs. It is not walkable (not great sidewalks) but easy to drive to places that are. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable and the AC worked well. We appreciated having spectrum television as an option. Also pet friendly for a fee, however there isn't great grass or walking areas around the motel for a pet. Finally I would recommend they add an ice machine or ice cube trays to the rooms. It's in a great location, each to get around and plenty of parking. For a few days, it's perfect!

The wines, especially the reds, are excellent and a real standout from the wines of the region. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly and can talk at length about his wines.

They encourage you to bring a picnic to enjoy with their wines.
