KEY Curation Notes

Five bedrooms across three levels sleep up to ten. The main-level master king is the standout room: a wall of windows, private deck with an outdoor shower, Kohler Infinity tub, his-and-hers walk-in shower, private steam room, and oversized closets. Upstairs are two more king suites and a queen suite, each with a private en-suite bath, plus a bunk room with three full beds and a twin. The lower level adds a separate home theater and rec space.
The main-level great room and kitchen are built for groups. Viking stainless appliances, double ovens, a large island, gas fireplace, back-lit wet bar, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame long-range mountain views. A gas grill and deck seating extend the entertaining space outdoors.
The lower level centers on a home theater and recreation room with a vintage basketball floor, exercise equipment, and a wet bar with wine cooler. The hot tub is also on the property.
On 13 private acres, 10 minutes from downtown Boone and 15 minutes from Blowing Rock. No community amenity fee.
Note: the lower-level fireplace is decorative only — do not attempt to light it.
4WD or AWD is required November through March, and chains may be necessary. No refunds are issued for guests arriving without a compliant vehicle.
Starter supplies cover roughly one night — KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before your arrival.

We were visiting the area with friends and family and wanted a private retreat for relaxation and fun near the Boone area. . This property went above and beyond our expectations! Stunning views with top notch amenities! The check in/check out process was extremely easy to follow as well. We have already planned to return to this property.

Things you need to know

Please note that this homeowner uses outdoor surveillance cameras to ensure their home stays safe. No cameras monitor the inside of the home or the hot tub area.

The fireplace shown in the lower level is decorative only. Do not attempt to light a fire in it.

The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags. This is enough for one or two nights, but if you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.

We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.

This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.

This home is not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items, including plastic wrap or foil.
