Why the Owner Chose Boone
They say you are either "mountain" people or "beach" people - and although we enjoy both - we love and adore the Blue Ridge Mountains. After renting for years all over the surrounding area, we narrowed our search down to the Seven Devils area of the High Country - specifically due to its central location to all the unique and quaint mountain towns close by. Boone and Appalachian State University are 15 minutes up Hwy 105, Sugar Mountain Banner Elk, and Beech are just 10-20 minutes away, Grandfather Mountain and Linville are 10-15 minutes away - and the charming town of Blowing Rock is 20-25 minutes away via Shulls Mill Drive - one of the most scenic mountain drives in the High Country! Since the ski slope has closed, Seven Devils is now home to one of the largest Snow Tubing Resorts and Zipline courses on the East Coast - which is located 1.5 miles away at Hawksnest. Many folks drive up and buy their tickets for a time slot - and then go back and relax at the cabin until then.
The Unique Benefits at this Mountain Cabin
You will enjoy the mountain rustic elegance of the cabin which is updated for each season. Relax in big, overstuffed, comfortable furniture. The great room features a wood-burning, 2-story fireplace, exposed hand-hewn beams, custom crafted wood shutters and wood floors. The cabin has been appointed with brand new linens and Pottery Barn comforters, as well as new carpet in the bedrooms. The main great room is the perfect gathering spot for families and the sun room offers a quiet little escape to relax and renew. Everyone loves the large rocking chair front porch with comfy seating for six. The property sits in a picturesque wooded setting on a quiet circle culdesac of charming log homes. There is parkland across the street with huge boulder rock formations where children love to play while parents can watch from the front porch.
Owner's Map of Boone
Our family has been going to the mountains for years - and have all enjoyed some of our fondest memories in the High Country. There is so much to do in each of the four seasons as far as outdoor activities - and we have also grown to appreciate the great music, concerts and plays, fun restaurants, shopping, ASU football games and the many festivals throughout the year. It is our favorite place to get away from city life and enjoy nature and breathe the beautiful mountain air as well as slow down and RELAX....spending quality time with our family and friends. We hope you cherish your time at Blue Moon Cabin as much as we do!

Wow, what a great place to come and relax to get away from the everyday grind. We've loved every minute of our stay here. You guys thought of everything to make this an unforgettable weekend. It is evident how much love and care you've put into this place. The cabin is adorable and has all the comforts of home. It exceeded our expectations in every way. From the minute we walked in we felt right at home. We loved sitting by the fire and spending time together. The weekend at Blue Moon was priceless and one we will always remember. It will go down as one of our favorite places to come. Thank you for a great weekend.

What a wonderful cabin to spend a winter break with our children. From the minute we walked into the cabin, we had so much fun. Our family will cherish these memories in the cabin for many years to come. Lee (7) learned to ski at Beech Mountain, and Carley (9) experienced the first time on the slope and up a chair lift. The family enjoyed tubing at Hawksnest, and a hike near Banner Elk. We never wanted to leave the cabin and fireplace in the evening, so we cooked in every night. It is Sunday morning, the snow is falling and the children are sledding. We will have a hard time saying goodbye to the Blue Moon cabin. The family is already talking about when we can come back.

This was our first visit to this area -- we came up to visit Hawksnest snow tubing. It was a blast!!! The cabin far exceeded our expectations & looked so warm and cozy when we arrived. This was our children's (5 & 10 years old) first stay in a cabin. When we told them we were going to stay in a "cabin", all they could see in their minds was an old dusty shack like in the cowboy movies their daddy watches. They now have a new perspective. Thanks for all the warm accommodations -- hope to visit again.

Wow!! What a great vacation and wonderful place to stay! We were pleasantly surprised to find the cabin decorated for the holidays - it's beautiful and perfect for our family of 5. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Linville Falls - it was beautiful!! We rang in the New Year by the fire, and enjoyed your selection of DVD's (The Grinch, and High School Musical were definitely the kids favorites!). We spent New Year's Day snow tubing at Hawksnest - great fun! The kids loved the boulders across the street and exploring the backyard. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us - we enjoyed every minute of our stay!

From the minute we walked through the door, we felt the stress melt away. The cabin is absolutely charming and we loved all the special touches that make it so cozy and warm. The cabin was decorated so festive for the holidays, we loved it! Harry and Kristi had so much fun skiing at Sugar Mountain. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had the most wonderful time!

We were on several missions this weekend, and we accomplished all of them! We found this year's perfect Christmas tree (13 ft.) at one of the many wonderful tree farms, we got to stay in an awesome cabin, and we were able to relax and get away from everything back home. Your cabin provides the perfect atmosphere, and we thank you for sharing your mountain home with us. We just love the shutters! We had a special surprise when we arrived & saw snow. It was extremely beautiful.

What a beautiful cabin & get-away! We've only been here for two days and it's been so relaxing & so much fun. The first day we were here, we went on the nature trail and climbed up the waterfalls. Today, we are either going shopping or just relaxing. Being in this cozy (and beautifully decorated) cabin makes me never want to leave!! I really love your shutters!! The loft was wonderful to stay in. Everything about this cabin is great!! Thank you so much!!
