Super clean, quiet, lovely view from the back deck, cozy fireplace, teens loved the game room and all the extras in the den. The layout was perfect for our crew of 6. So happy we could bring the fur baby too! Communication with the owner was immediate and easy. Would definitely recommend.

Family High Country Getaway
This house and the location were a perfect choice for my family to getaway for a few days and enjoy the NC mountains. My wife, two adult daughters/husbands and 2 grandchildren (and Miniature Golden Doodle) stayed at Alpine Ridge of Boone and enjoyed the Mass General Store, Linville Caverns, Wiseman's View, Tweetsie RR, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and Boone. We enjoyed eating at Dan'l Boone Inn, The Peddlin' Pig, Mellow Mushroom and The Viscous Biscuit. This location was great and the amenities were great. The kitchen was well stocked, toiletries, cleaning supplies, snacks and a great coffee station were an added plus. The game room is impressive and there was plenty of room for our family. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. Great house - we will reserve this house again in the future.

Family event in town
House is great! Well-stocked kitchen & baths. Tucked away, but still close to town. Seasonal decor changes definitely make it “homey” which means owners truly want guests to feel like it’s not “just a rental.”

My family enjoyed a beautiful, cozy weekend at Alpine Ridge! The house had everything we needed, the view from the deck was lovely, and the game room was a lot of fun. We enjoyed using the fire pit and making s'mores and rocking on the porch. We even saw a bear, a few deer, and many birds.

Perfect for Family/Friends Trip
This place was even better than the pictures. The house was well maintained and decorated super cute. We celebrated my daughter’s 14th birthday with family and friends. The kids LOVED the garage, game room, and the slope down to the fire pit. This is a great central location to access Boone, Linville, Blowing Rock and all the other towns. We cannot wait to visit again! Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us!

Wonderful Stay
We enjoyed our stay very much. This is a comfortable house and easy for us to separate or join together in a room to visit, watch TV or eat. We loved all the wildlife we saw every day. It rained every afternoon, so we went out every morning and came back in the early afternoon and enjoyed our interests.

Tucked Away Mountain Retreat
We spent a long weekend here and wished we could have extended our trip! The layout of the house is perfect for families of all ages. We have three children (2, 9, 11) and everyone was able to spread out comfortably. The game room was perfect to unwind after busy days exploring Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad. There are several restaurants nearby but we preferred to stay in and make use of the fully equipped kitchen. Great cabin with very tranquil location tucked away on a hillside!

Thoughtfully accommodating. Perfect for families.
This rental is full of unique character and every detail was well thought-out. Keson checked in with us, and promptly responded to our messages throughout our stay. This house is perfect for families - everyone was entertained! The location was very convenient to town, but nestled on the mountainside, allowing for a nice view with plenty of privacy. We also loved that every bedroom (except kids room) had a King Bed. We’ll definitely be booking again, and will be recommending to our family/friends.

Relaxing Mtn Weekend
If you don't have 4WD in the winter / snow months, I wouldn't attempt, but the other 80% of the year- this house is a must! This house had so much to offer it is hard to tell where to start. All bedrooms have comfy king beds with linens provided. The bathrooms have towels, soap dispensers, and even different washcloths for makeup removal. From cotton balls, to hair ties, they were super thoughtful in thinking through what someone might need. In the master there was a dog crate and a pack n play. You can tell the owners have kids and dogs which were our kind of people! There are tons of tvs in the home which makes it easy for kids to go off in other rooms and play. They have a keurig and regular style coffee maker. There is laundry on site and we used it to clean up after snow tubing. The only thing I wished we had brought was a way to cut down more branches for the fire pit. There are a ton of branches to use,
