About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Game Room, Pet Friendly, Hiking

Knotty Hideaway sits on a quiet wooded lot in the High Country corridor —
close enough to reach downtown Boone in about seven minutes and Blowing Rock
in ten, far enough that what you hear at night is wind and birdsong.

The layout is built for groups that want to be together without being on top
of each other.

Main level — A queen bedroom with a full bath just steps away, plus a second
bedroom with two twin beds. The kitchen opens to a dining table that
genuinely seats ten, with bar seating for four more.

Upper level — The king master suite, with its own bath, a TV, and a reading
nook that gets the good afternoon light.

Lower level — The game room. Sectional sofa, Xbox, foosball, board games,
and a TV. This is where the group ends up.

Sleeping for six: one king, one queen, two twins. Four beds, three bedrooms,
two full baths.

The kitchen is fully stocked — Keurig with coffee, tea, and pods; a complete
cookware set; spices; stainless appliances. You can cook a real meal here,
not just reheat one.

The Outdoors

Two decks, and they get used differently. The upper one is for coffee and
the morning view. The lower one is for the grill and the hot tub.

The hot tub is private, set against the treeline. The stone fire pit is
stocked and ready — bring marshmallows.

Fall brings color straight through the property. Winter brings quiet and,
most years, snow. Summer stays roughly ten degrees cooler than the valley.
Spring is mud season, and it`s beautiful anyway.

The valley hits ninety and it`s still in the seventies up here. Cool nights,
long evenings on the deck, and the hot tub under actual visible stars.

The Location

Tweetsie Railroad — 5 min
Blue Ridge Parkway access — 7 min
Downtown Boone / App State — 7 min
Appalachian Ski Mountain — 9 min
Downtown Blowing Rock — 10 min
Grandfather Mountain — approximately 22 min

You`re on the corridor between the two towns, which means you get both —
Boone`s restaurants and campus energy on one side, Blowing Rock`s Main
Street and Bass Lake on the other.

Getting Around & Things to Know

The driveway parks four to five vehicles. Getting here is straightforward
most of the year; from December through March, we recommend AWD or 4WD —
mountain roads change fast up here and we`d rather over-prepare you.

Pets: Two dogs maximum, $50 per dog. Dogs must be supervised, and crated in
the provided kennel if you leave them at the house.

Hot tub: Test strips are provided — please check the water before you get
in, and swimwear only. Street clothes ruin the chemistry and the next guests
pay for it.

Trash: Bagged trash goes in the bins by the driveway. Please don`t put loose
trash in the cans — we share the mountain with bears.

Electronics: Please leave the TVs and Xbox plugged in.
Must be 25 years old or older to book
Check-in 4:00 PM. Check-out 10:00 AM.
Hot tub: Make sure to test the hot tub with the provided tester strips before getting in the hot tub. Also, swimwear is only allowed in the hot tub, NO normal clothes because they will ruin the water.

Trash: Please place all trash in the provided trash bags, and place the trash bags in the trash bins near the driveway. Do not put loose trash in the trash cans.

Pets: 2 dogs max, you must supervise the dogs at all times, you have to put the dogs in the provided kennel when leaving your dogs at the house.

Please do not unplug any of the electronics(TVs, Xbox, etc).

We rented this house for a quick two night ski trip and it worked great for our family of 6. We had kids ages 8, 6, 4 and 18 months. It was only 7 minutes from the App Ski Mountain which was super helpful. For our 18 month, there was a pack n' play in the master closet that was huge and worked great for place for him to have his "own room" and to not have to use our own pack n play. He slept 13 hours straight which he doesn't do always, so it was a win! The big kids loved the hot tub. We would definitely recommend this house!

Wonderful Cabin

We loved staying here, the location is PERFECT! Super close to everything, Boone, Blowing Rock, the major parks. The cabin was also very clean and well kept, one of the nicer rental houses we’ve stayed at. We did have a few questions during our stay and the communication was very prompt.

Amazing location and super clean home!

The home was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was close to a lot of stores and restaurants, but also secluded enough where it felt quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed all the activities in the home, like starting a campfire and playing ping ping or foosball! We’d definitely come back if we are ever in the area!
