Mountains

Reimagined with care and thoughtful design, this inviting mountain home offers a fresh, open feel paired with timeless comfort and scenic surroundings.

Four private bedrooms, each with its own bath, provide a peaceful retreat for every guest, blending simplicity with comfort in a setting designed for connection and relaxation. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with expansive decks that invite moments of quiet reflection and shared gatherings alike. A private hot tub, comfortable seating, and a dining area with a gas grill create the perfect backdrop for enjoying mountain views and fresh air in every season.

KEY Curation Notes

Every bedroom has its own private bath. Four queen bedrooms — two on the main floor, two upstairs — each with an en-suite, plus a half bath on the main level. A genuine differentiator for groups that value privacy.
Built new in 2019 with an open, light-filled design. The original family cabin burned down; what replaced it is decidedly modern — airy layout, well-appointed kitchen with high-end finishes, and décor that leans elevated rather than rustic-dark.
The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked. Sharp knives, quality cookware, and a full complement of gadgets — this is a cook's kitchen, not a starter-set setup. KEY.co can handle grocery delivery if you'd rather arrive to a full fridge.
Hot tub and spacious outdoor decks face the mountain view. The outdoor setup is a main draw: gas grill, outdoor dining table, and ample deck furniture oriented toward the views. The Watauga River is a short walk away.
Wood-burning fireplace and wet bar on the main floor. Both are in the main living area — a nice pairing for evenings in, particularly in shoulder season or winter.
Valle Crucis location puts you close to everything without feeling like it. The Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Park are nearby; Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, and Sugar Mountain are all within 20–30 minutes. The setting reads secluded despite the convenience.

Reviews

Beverley and Mark

The house is gorgeous! So clean and welcoming! We loved every second! We were with 3 other couples and had a lovely friends weekend! The bedrooms and bathrooms were top notch, the kitchen well stocked and the porch was so serene! Such a beautiful home. The management company were excellent and everything went smoothly. We could not be more thrilled from start to finish! Rent this beautiful house! Thank you! We will be back!

Things you need to know

Towels and linens will be provided.

Firewood may be purchased at the time of booking or with a week's notice. You receive two wrapped, kiln-dried bundles and a fire starter for $25 plus tax per night.

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.
