Appalachian Retreat was completed in May 2008. It has been furnished exclusively at the Hickory Furniture Mart with top of the line leather mountain style furnishings. The house is log sided, with a red tin roof, two porches and three levels.

Each level has its own private bath and sitting area. The main level and lower level master suite each have a TV with Direct TV. The main level has a stereo system that is MP3 compatible, so bring your iPod! The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, great dishes, serving pieces, wine glasses, cooking utensils. The owners outfitted this house not as a rental home, but as if they would use it full time.

This cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains has beautiful mountain views and is ideally located for visits to Boone and ASU, West Jefferson and the New River. The Blue Ridge Parkway entrance is five minutes away with great biking. Mountain biking and bicycle rentals are all close by. The owners have left travel brochures and biking guides to be used by the guests.

This cabin is in a great location to be able to have a quiet romantic getaway and then go into town for a great dinner. Blowing Rock is only 30 minutes away as are the ski slopes of Beech and Sugar Mountains. This cabin was purchased not just for its amazing looks, but for its fabulous location.

                        This was the first time that we visited this area of North Carolina and we had a wonderful time in this cabin. It is absolutely beautiful. It has everything that you could possibly ask for to make your stay comfortable. The location is close to all the surrounding towns and the Blue Ridge Parkway, but you feel like you are a million miles away from it all. The owners were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend this cabin. We would love to rent this cabin again in the future.

                        The cabin was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and in a wonderful location! We even got to enjoy snow while we were visiting. We have gone to the mountains every year for 4 years and we have decided to make this our favorite nd plan on returning!

                        We had a great time. The place was spotless and a great place. You feel like you are at the end of the world but you aren't, there are neighbors if you need them. My two sisters and I just wanted to get away and reconnect and this was the perfect place.

                        My family and I recently stayed here for a weekend, and we could not have asked for a better place! The home was beautifully decorated, extremely clean and very comfortable. It's conveniently located (short drive to Boone, West Jefferson, Todd, etc.) and provided more space, atmosphere, and peace and quiet than one would ever get from a hotel room (or most cabins). Of the many places I have stayed during my visits to the mountains of NC, this place was the absolute best. My family and I hope to stay here again in the near future.

                        I couldn't have asked for a better spot to relax with my friends. The house was immaculate and everything we needed was there. Spent most of the weekend on the porch enjoying the cool weather and catching up with old pals. Dennis and Debbie have the perfect spot to get away from it all.

Your attention to detail and ensuring that your guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay is evident. The was perfectly located away from it all but within minutes of everything. Our family truly enjoyed our 'retreat' at your cabin and hope to visit it again soon. Thanks

                        'Appalachian Retreat' is the most beautiful place to stay if you are going on a vacation in North Carolina. This luxury cabin has everything you need to enjoy inside and out. Great for large or small families. The owner's are wonderful and very welcoming. We will visit this area again and you can be sure we will stay at Debbie and Denis's cabin. It is your home away from home! We give it 5 *star rating to anything else in this area!

                        We had a terrific time at the Appalachian Retreat. The house itself was incredibly accommodating and very clean. With a family of six, a washer and dryer is a must and the beautiful, fully equipped kitchen + gas grill made meals at the house very convenient. The kids didn't want to leave the cabin. They wanted to just hang out and enjoy it. We had fun skiing, hiking, exploring caverns and going to Grandfather Mountain, but we also enjoyed our evenings playing games in front of the fireplace. We would highly recommend this home for your Mountain vacation.

                        This home is outstanding! The pictures don't do justice to its beauty and view of the beautiful North Carolina mountains. We felt welcomed the minute we walked in the door. Debbie and Dennis were fabulous to work with from our first inquiry until we returned back home. We definitely plan on going back.

                        My wife, 5 year old, 10 month old and myself had the pleasure of staying at this cabin in early December. We were amazed at how well it was decorated and furnished. We arrived on Friday afternoon and woke up to a snow covered deck. It was awesome to sit and look at the mountains with snow falling all around. As a family we appreciate Gods beauty and felt we were blessed to have experienced it at this cabin. On Saturday we went to Boone for breakfast and sleding but only made it half way up to the cabin off the main road. The owners were available to us and gave us the name and number to a neighbor who picked us up in his 4x4 and took us with our luggage back to our car the next day. We will be staying here again in the future and look forward to it. We've stayed at several places in the Boone area while there getting our Christmas tree but this was the best.

                      Year Purchased: 2008

                      About the owner: We live in Eastern NC and are lucky enough to live on the Pamlico River. As beautiful as it is, it gets hot and muggy in the summers. The mountains have always had a special pull for us as we love to bike ride-both road and mountain biking, and we love hiking and exploring the outdoors. This home has given us a great place to relax and enjoy all that North Carolina has to offer us. Every trip up to our retreat is another opportunity to explore and discover new favorite places.We are so lucky to get to play in both the eastern and the western part of the state.

                      Why the Owner Chose Boone:
                      After our son spent four years at Appalachian State University, we fell in love with the area and knew we had to buy a home there. We searched all the surrounding areas and were lucky to find this new home in a perfect location.Our home is secluded yet we can get to Boone, Blowing Rock and West Jefferson in no time. We love being secluded, but having the ability to go ride Railroad Grade Rd and Kayak or float the New River. Our favorite night time adventure is driving the 25 minutes to Grassy Creek,NC to the River House for a fantastic Dinner and great company.We have furnished this house so that we never feel like we are in a rental, but that we are in our home. It is top notch and our little best kept secret. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
