Description
Mountain charm exudes from every bit of this lovely home, perfectly located less than a mile to Appalachian Ski Mountain and named for one of the resort's popular freestyle ski runs!
Enter the house through the warm kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has ample granite counter work space, and the table will comfortably seat 6, with room for two more on stools at the bar. The living room has a stone gas log fireplace and a corner TV. There is also a half bathroom off the living room.
The master suite has a King bed and a TV, and the private bathroom has double sink granite vanities, a Jacuzzi tub, and a separate shower.
Upstairs are two bedrooms. One room has a Queen bed, a TV, and a Nintendo GameCube console (bring your own games). The second bedroom has two twin sized beds, a TV, and a workstation with a computer and printer. Between the two bedrooms is a full bathroom with a tub/shower.
Downstairs is a second living room doubling as a theater room with built in surround sound. There is a large flatscreen TV mounted on the wall with cozy suede furnishings opposite, a poker table with several games built into it, and a corner electric fireplace. There is also a full bathroom with a shower on this level.
The main level deck has a lovely selection of Cracker Barrel rocking chairs, as well as a gas grill. The lower deck, brand new as of Summer 2018, has a table & chairs set as well as a new hot tub. Children as well as pets will enjoy the fully fenced in sloped yard in front of the house. There is a firepit on one side of the yard, perfect for hot dog roasts, s'mores, and stories around the fire after dark.
Ideally situated just minutes to Blowing Rock, Boone, Appalachian Ski Mountain, and all other attractions, AppalJack Retreat is the perfect home base for your explorations of the beautiful High Country!

Great place to gather as a family. Loved the fire place. Dog friendly. Management company quickly addressed any bumps in the road we encountered during our visit.- Charles, Posted: 01/09/2024
Beautiful views, great amenities, great spacious levels so everyone had their own space and bathroom. Would rent this house again!- Christina, Posted: 10/19/2023
We came to visit our daughter at App State, it was an easy drive to the college and also an easy drive to attractions. The cabin was cozy, felt like home, and had a beautiful view.- Jessie, Posted: 09/06/2023
We had a very nice stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your cabin!- Lisa, Posted: 11/07/2022
When my husband and I picked this property we were impressed with the pictures, but knew to temper our expectations from other rentals we'd had. Completely unnecessary with this home! The house was beautiful and much larger than expected. The views were amazing. The extra amenities like the hot tub and firepit were perfect for summer nights.- Alissa and Daniel, Posted: 07/25/2022
Would definitely rent again- Jessica, Posted: 07/11/2022
Booking online was easy and problem free. Cabin was well furnished and located near the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Scenery in and around this area is beautiful with more than enough places to visit and things to do. Would recommend obtaining some books about the area and the Parkway before visiting in order to help with planning.- Jerry, Posted: 04/25/2022
Great family place! Close to town but great views.- Katie, Posted: 02/23/2022
Amazing stay! Location was perfect for app ski Mtn (we walked) and the view was BEAUTIFUL!! Would stay again!- Karly, Posted: 02/01/2022
Wonderful place to stay with great views and close to everything.- Jenny, Posted: 11/24/2021
We loved AppalJack! It felt so secluded, but it was within a few minutes if both Boone and Blowing Rock. And so many beautiful sites and towns within an hour from there. The back yard is steep, but fenced so my pup loved running around it and I could feel comfortable letting her. The beds were comfy and the cabin was well stocked. We loved sitting on the porch just listening to the birds, watching the beautiful view of the mountains, and seeing the bunnies run around the yard. We would definitely recommend!- Rebecca, Posted: 09/20/2021
The property was above & beyond …house was exceptionally clean, well furnished, and easy to access….great location….very close to Blowing Rock and 5 miles from Boone….we enjoyed hearing the train whistle from Tweetsie….didn't want to come home….100% will return for another stay!!- Arthur, Posted: 08/24/2021
Great location and home - thank you for sharing it with us.- Nicole, Posted: 04/02/2021
This cabin is lovely - the home, the view, the backyard complete with fire pit & hot tub... we'll definitely visit again!- Heidi, Posted: 09/29/2020
Loved working with Blue Ridge. Will definitely use them again. Very accommodating and all about safety and comfort. To offer up to 3 days extra at reduced rates was awesome. This was the first time our family visited Blowing Rock and we were very impressed with the area.- Beth, Posted: 03/13/2020
We discovered a gem renting this cabin! The views are gorgeous, location convenient to both Bliwing Rock and Boone and it has everything you need! The cabin is very clean, spacious and so comfortable. We felt so relaxed and loved the new hottub! We will be back!- Tia, Posted: 11/07/2019
Our family made a trip up to Blowing Rock this fall, and this house was great! We enjoyed the hot tub and gas fireplace, and the location was very convenient to Blowing Rock and Boone!- Lee, Posted: 10/17/2019
Really enjoyed AppalJack Retreat! Clean and met all of our needs. Staff very courteous!- Tracie H., Posted: 10/26/2014
