Imaginary Guests Stay FREE!~Fun Mountainside Cabin~Minutes to Town/App State

DAvid and JAne welcome you to DA-JA View II! Mi Casa es Su Casa!

Cozy~CLEAN~Comfortable~COOL~Convenient~CLOSE~and Good Karma :)

PLEASE! Read this ENTIRE LISTING before contacting us (including the "Rates" section and "Notes" therein, plus the DISCLAIMER below)...Important stuff here!

Alumni/Retirees/Boomers/Veterans (no kids or pets, please)...You will have HAPPY here~

Just beyond Boone city limits~Elevation 3800 ʹ~Safe, eclectic mountainside (meaning "steep") neighborhood~

Just 5 minutes (or less) to downtown's King Street~2 miles to App State campus, Kidd Brewer Stadium & Holmes Center~

Pristine, funky & fun modular bungalow~Master suite w/ ensuite bath~Full (double) bedroom and Twin bedroom share Hall bath~

Beds so comfortable you will actually sleep on them~Sleek kitchen & laundry~Keurig brewing system

Fast WiFi~HDTV cable~Blu-Ray/internet TV~Awesome sound system~

If you had Boone vacations as a child or attended ASU (or ASTC, old tmer!) you'll get a special kick out of the decor~

Click on the MAP icon above to fully appreciate this ideal location, location, location~

In WINTER, 4WD/AWD vehicle and balls to drive on snow and ice are highly recommended~

There is a bus stop for AppalCart public transit system at the foot of our hill which will shuttle you all around town~

No smoking allowed* anywhere inside or on the property. Sorry we cannot allow pets*. No open fires.

Must be at least 25 years old to rent~Not suitable for children or handicapped~

NOTE: Boone has a chronic water shortage. Please hang up and reuse towels and otherwise conserve water at every opportunity!

Enjoy downtown Boone and shop, dine, party knowing you're close to your vacation home~

Appalachian Summer Festival is one of the "Top Twenty Events in the Southeast"~MerleFest is 34 short miles downhill (Wilkes County)~

Find your inner Clark Griswold and celebrate Choose & Cut Christmas tree season~

Parent (or grandparent) of an App student? You will appreciate the proximity to campus~

Hike, bike, kayak, tube and still sleep in a warm bed at night~If you want snow sports, they are close-by AND you have the amenities of downtown apres ski~

Again, consider LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: Solitude & scenery can be great. But traveling to and from an otherwise wonderful vacation rental that is stuck in the middle of nowhere on a curvy\ slick\foggy
arrow\unpaved mountain road can get old (and dangerous) mighty quickly.

If you are planning to do anything other than just staying put, you will probably be headed to Boone (or wishing you could). Just sayin'...

This is a really COOL mini-villa~You'll enjoy lot's of amenities NOT pictured~

Boone Weekend

Took a quick trip to Boone to catch the Brad Paisley concert at Kidd-Brewer Stadium. The stadium was two miles from the cabin. The cabin was clean and very quiet. The photographs that decorate the cabin were very interesting. Alot of nostalgia is contained within this cabin. This would be a great place to rent in the fall on a football weekend at the rock.

Clean and property manager very helpful

Great location and very clean; but when we arrived, the home had a smell and the air conditioner was not turned on. The thermostat had a lock on it, so we could not adjust it. The property manager was helpful the next morning and turned the air conditioner on for us for the remainder of the stay. Also, if water pressure is important to you, then make sure your hair is washed before you travel here! This was not an issue for my bald partner, but there was no way I would be able to wash all my curly locks. Great quiet location. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the porch.

Imaginary guests are best for this one

Working toward refund. Spiders (3 live ones found), webs in every corner of ceiling, mold in keurig's water filter, and more. Manager claimed was serviced day before. Pictures proved otherwise, not cleaned in long time. Did not stay. Manager blamed me and claimed we aren't truthful, stopped responding. Formally reported to VRBO.

Unique mountain pad with so many beautiful little details.

This place is spectacular. So much love and thought put into it. Quiet serene setting and super convenient to App State campus. David is a super host, great communication and clear concise instructions. Thanks for sharing your sweet mountain place with us! We loved every minute and will come back in a heart beat.

Comfortable house convenient to Boone

Property was clean and just as described in listing. Lots of great historical memorabilia/photos in the house for my family from Boone to enjoy. Host responded promptly to questions before arrival and accessing the house was easy. This is a great place to stay if you are wanting to have easy access to Boone and the surrounding area.

Great mountain getaway!

Super cute place for a quick weekend trip. Easy check in and owner was very responsive on the couple of questions we had during our stay. House was clean, beds were comfy and plenty of box fans (which was great for white noise while sleeping!). Keurig was great for morning coffee on the deck. Thanks to COVID, we spent quite a bit of time hanging out at the house, which is super close to King Street and lots of great places to order take out. Parkway is also close, which was great for an afternoon outing. Thanks so much and would love to stay again next time we head up to Boone.

Perfect Summer Retreat

This was a return trip for us to this cabin that we absolutely love but had never been to in the summer. It was incredibly beautiful and green — we enjoyed the flowers and birds so much. It was magical to sit on the front deck and watch the fireflies glowing in the twilight. There was a lovely view of the mountains as the sun set to top it off. We had a wonderful time!

About the host

Hosted by Highland Associates

Host profile image
Our family has been in Boone for 6 generations. We're kin to ol' Dan'l himself. You know, the guy that opened that family-style "Inn" downtown. Back then he served venison, hoecake, and Wild Turkey (that sounds like a winner!). Things sure have changed with the fried chicken and biscuits and all. But Boone is still our home. Until they run us out.

Why they chose this property

Why not? For 25 years the DA-JA View II was only available to family and friends. Then somebody (can't remember if it was Granny or one of the Cuz twins) said "Why don't we let some flatlanders enjoy this place?" We all shook our heads and here it is! It is not suitable for children or handicapped and we can't allow smoking, pets, or parties. But you'll enjoy staying here. Granny would be proud...

What makes this property unique

Have YOU ever stayed in an uber-casa? Well? Have you? Close to town but away from the crowds and traffic. Just a FUN place. We get lots of comments about the decor. You'll get a special kick out of it if you had Boone vacations as a child or attended ASU (or ASTC!). If you are a parent or grandparent of an App student, you will appreciate the short trip to campus. If you want snow sports, you can have the amenities of town apres ski. You can hike, bike, kayak, tube and still sleep in a great bed at night. There a plenty of vacation rentals in and around Boone. But there is only ONE Uber-Casa....
