Welcome to Kick App View!

Kick App View is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains and boasts layered long-range views and an amazing view of Grandfather Mountain. Kick App View sleeps eight (8) guests in 4 bedrooms- all of which have a King or Queen bed, plus a Pack-N-Play crib should you need it. Central heat and air provide year-round comfort, or open the large glass doors in the main living area and enjoy the mountain breeze. The main level boasts an Open Concept Great Room, Dining, and Kitchen area with vaulted ceiling and skylights. Comfortable leather furniture frames a beautiful stone fireplace with gas logs, providing ambiance at the touch of a button. Kick App View has a wall of glass doors providing an abundance of natural light and opening to a deck offering long-range mountain views no matter the season. Six can sit comfortably at the dining table plus two more at the kitchen counter-height bar top so eight guests can all dine together. The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, upgraded stainless steel appliances, a microwave, and a gas range. The upper deck with its view of Grandfather Mountain has outdoor table seating and an easy-to-operate gas grill. An attached screened porch adjoins the deck with seating for six where guests can enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails.

The King Master Suite, located on the main level of the home, has sliding glass doors that enjoy the view and open to the screened porch. The King Master Suite has an HDTV and a private ensuite bathroom with granite vanity and a tub/shower combo. There are additional Queen bedrooms on the main level, each with an HDTV.

Fun family Christmas
We really enjoyed staying at the cabin over the holidays. Our older kids got to try skiing for the first time - we were so close to the ski hill, great location. The house fit the 6 of us just perfectly. and the hot tub was a welcome relaxation at the end of the day.The cabin was very well equipped, which we appreciated. And fun games to play too.All in all, it was a delightful time. Highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely
Everything about our stay here was wonderful: The view was phenomenal—the trees had just started turning and each morning they were more vibrant than the day before. The cabin even looks out over Grandfather Mountain! What a treat! We found the home well provided for, plenty of dishes and utensils to eat and cook with, abundant towels and comfortable furniture and beds. We arrived barely two weeks after Hurricane Helene, so were unable to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway as we had planned. So we stayed in the cabin for a week, and loved every minute. It was clean, comfortable, lovely and stocked well enough to feel like home. As a treat, the day before we left, they opened a small part of the Blue Ridge Parkway just south of the cabin so we were able to travel about 20 miles on the Parkway anyway. Our heart goes out the the people of NC who have suffered and lost so much from Helene. We had originally wondered if we should even come to NC and our hosts explained that what NC needs now is commerce—people to come and financially support the local needs of these communities. We are so glad we came!

Wonderful stay
We had a lovely 2 weeks at Kick App View. The view was amazing! There was everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen and the downstairs suite was a plus. My only suggestion is to get softer pillows. That was the only complaint. The hot tub was awesome! We will be back!! Thank you for letting us enjoy your lovely home.

Mountain oasis
Our family rented the property for a few nights and loved it. The views are gorgeous and the furnishings very comfortable. Lots of nice details (info book, toilettries, gas fire place and hot tub. Do plan for snow as they suggest. We woke to it in early April! For us it was a nice surprise because we planned for lazy days around the house but the location is high up a steep, twisty hill so their recommendation for snow tires until mid-April isn't an exaggeration. We like trying new places each time we travel but would make an exception to stay here again when we return to the area.

We had a family of 4 with an additional friend and her son join us. The house was perfect and kid friendly, the beds were comfortable, the owners have the house set up perfectly for 2 families. The views were great, the hot tub was a hit. Box fans in the bedrooms were great for sleep. Would love to rent from them again!

4 adults snd 2 children stayed in the home for Thanksgiving week. Bedrooms were comfortable and perfect for us. The home is spacious and had everything we needed and more. Loved the ease of the fireplaces, the hot tub, kids loved the foosball game and liked being on the screened porch. Views of Grandfather Mountain are perfect. We easily visited Boone, Banner Elk, and nearby playgrounds for the kids are great! Loved our stay.

Four siblings and our spouses met at this VRBO from different parts of the country and had a great time! The house is clean, nicely decorated, and very well stocked just as described with hot tub, grill, two porches, two living areas with fireplaces, and ping pong and other games. It has a beautiful view of Grandfather Mountain, and is convenient to Boone, Linville, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. We would consider it again if visiting the area.

Amazing Property!
This is probably the best place we have ever stayed. It was impeccably clean and had everything and anything we needed including numerous start up supplies (TP, paper towels, soap, trash bags, dishwashing tablets, etc.). We felt like we were in someone's home, not just a rental. I loved the books on the shelves and tables, all the decor, and the pictures. Our king bed was incredibly comfortable. On the nightstand there was even a little cube that had USB plugs and regular plugs that came in very handy. There were two scrap books that contained information regarding check out, local rules, and tons of pamphlets with things to do and see in the area. We had a blast playing ping pong and foosball. We also played some of the other games that were there. The labels for all the light switches were extremely helpful. The attention to detail regarding what vacationers would need was outstanding. Our first night we went out on the balcony about 3:30 am to watch the Perseid meteor shower; it was perfect viewing up in high country!

Fantastic late summer getaway
Amazing quiet house with beautiful view. Stayed for 4 nights and rarely left the property. Bed was really comfortable, tvs in every room with lots of streaming options, kitchen was best stocked of any I have ever stayed in. We cooked most meals rather than go out! Drive up and driveway is pretty steep angle so if we return in colder months we definitely would need 4WD. It’s clear the owners of this home love it and we did too. I have stayed in several rentals and something is always broken, missing, or needs a lightbulb or batteries. Not here - every detail was accurate and these owners have thought of everything The fresh air, Grandfather mountain in the distance and a million stars at night was just what we needed to recharge.

This is a clean well equipped rental with beautiful views in a quiet neighborhood. It had everything needed plus a well stocked kitchen. It’s in a great location not too far from all of the area attractions. My husband, kids, and I stayed in the 3 bedrooms on the main floor and my mother-in-law had her own area downstairs with her own living space and kitchenette. It’s a great floor plan for extended family.
