Overview
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6)
This cottage is on a paved and state maintained level road so a good place if we do get some snow. It is about 8-18 miles from all ski resorts in the area. An authentic mountain cabin, built in 1929, just restored and modernized with a brand new inside, this cabin maintains the character of the 1930's reminiscent of simpler quieter times, only with new plumbing and higher ceilings. It is located only 3 minutes from the Boone courthouse and ASU, yet it sits on a quiet side street where you can get peace and quiet. Some of the residents have lived there since the 1930's. Sit on the deck out back and listen to the babbling brook or play in the big yard.
Both of the bedrooms have ceiling fans and color TV's with cable. The queen bedroom has a euro top mattress from Sealy which is very comforable and the twin beds have new quality mattresses as well. The living room boasts a stone fireplace that covers one wall, it has vaulted ceilings, lots of lights, and it open to the kitchen.
There is easy access with off street parking and no steps. Great for people who might not like steps.
Escape the heat and come to Boone...this cottage stays cool all day long, but there is a window A/C unit for your comfort.

What makes this cottage unique
This 1929 cottage still sits on a stacked rock foundation which was the way homes were built in the day. The original builder could not have picked a better location right next to a stream on a quiet side street yet only 1/10 mile from the highway and 3 miles from downtown Boone. There is a huge side yard for sledding, pets, and a stream behind. There is room for an outdoor campfire and roasting weenies and marshmellows or a game of tag, in the winter the slope of the yard makes for great sledding.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We have had the most wonderful week at your beautiful home. We came from Florida and the cool weather and babbling creek have soothed our spirits and souls. We will always treasure the memories this time has created.
Thank you for providing such a gorgeous setting for our family to grow together.

Check out Bear Creek Traders 5 miles south of Boone on Hwy 105, that is the best location to pick up locally made crafts, homemade soaps and candles, jewelry, and chainsaw carved bears, all affordably priced.

The Howingtons
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It was perfect for our vacation at Boone. Great location, near restaurants and supermarkets. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck, enjoying the stream and relaxing view. The property was very clean and well kept. I loved all the little details that made it feel like home. The kids played on the yard, walked in the creek, and made smores at night. We are definitely coming back!
Cute, clean cottage
Our stay at the cottage was comfortable. The inside was very clean and nicely done. It would be a nice addition if you could open the window in the main bdrm. We did not use the window AC unit. With that installed you cannot open the window for fresh cool air. It was wonderful to have the movies for our boys! The kitchen was so well equipped for cooking. We walked to the farm down the road which was so much fun! Loved our stay! Thank you!
Perfect location for couple and dog
Great place and second time staying here! House and yard are perfect for a couple with a dog. We only wish the master bedroom would have an option to just open the windows instead of running the AC especially at night. Having dinner on the deck next to the creek is a must for us for each visit! The neighborhood is quiet and close to everything. You can't beat the location. We never stay at the same place twice so you can tell this place is excellent!
Awesome
Great cottage
Perfect cottage getaway!
The cottage was very comfortable and cozy, and fit what we were looking for perfectly. We brought our dog, and she loved the big yard on the side. The location is great - it's on a quiet side street and a short drive to downtown Boone. The farm down the road has chickens that came for a visit! We could hear the goats and roosters that added to the charm.
Andrea was a wonderful host and always a phone call away! We would definitely stay here again!
