About this property
Aussies Lookout - Panoramic Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Pool Table!
You are sure to love everything about Aussies Lookout (formerly Aussies Den), a beautiful, recently renovated and modernized mountaintop escape with breathtaking panoramic mountain views visible from nearly every room in the house.
The open concept, bright and airy great room on the main level has a wall of windows overlooking stunning views. Brand new, cozy furniture is arranged around a stone, wood burning fireplace and a large Smart TV. One corner holds a dining table with two benches on either side, and the opposite corner has a full kitchen with updated granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. Off the great room is a half bath with a laundry closet.
The large master suite on the main floor has a new premium King bed, 55” Smart TV, and a private full bathroom with double granite vanities and an oversized walk in closet. The main level fully gated deck has a picnic table, gas grill, as well as Adirondack rocking chairs and loungers to take in the mountainscapes.
Downstairs is a second living area and game room with a pool table, comfortable queen pull-out sofa and 75” TV with premium sound system and Bluetooth connectivity to enjoy your favorite shows, movies or music. There are two elegant, oversized King bedrooms with plenty of closet space and brand new Smart TVs. One of the bedrooms has a desk and monitor to set up your perfect work space. There is also a full updated bath with combination tub & shower, and the lower gated deck has a four-person hot tub as well as more seating to take in the views and watch deer grazing in the yard.

The home was beautiful. Looks just like the pictures in the website.
The location was great. The views were amazing. The home was stocked with essential items needed as far as kitchen and bedding. The owners did an awesome job with attention to detail on the decor. The home felt warm and cozy. We were here for my son’s graduation from Appalachian State but we will be back for a vacation.

We kicked off Fall with a family trip to Blowing Rock to enjoy Tweetsie Railroad and this house was absolutely perfect. The rooms were spacious and it was nice having the kids on a separate floor so mom and dad could have quiet space after-hours. The views are incredible and the house is quality from top to bottom. Despite the main living room TV not working upon arrival, the property company sent a technician who replaced a Roku to get us back up and running. They also brought a couple kids toys for the trouble. Tweetsie will be an annual trip for us and we would certainly stay here again.

Perfect house in a perfect location!
We rented this house for three adult couples over Thanksgiving. The house is in a great location—in the mountains but close enough that it’s very convenient to run in to town for groceries, have lunch, etc. Great furnishings, layout and amenities.
My only negative comment is that it’s a little nosy in the downstairs bedrooms if people are walking around on the first floor. Otherwise, it is just perfect!

The house was amazing and accommodating to everyone in our party-even the dog! The view is absolutely one of the best we have seen while staying in Boone! The house is very well taken care of and we had everything we needed! We were traveling for work and mixed it with some skiing which was a perfect location! I will say it does need to be noted in description in case of snow and ice, driveway is not accessible even with four wheel drive! We had to park at bottom and walk up to house several days! Other than that this house is amazing!

Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to both work and play! We are sharing your feedback with our team to look into further, but we do considerable this home in the winter with AWD/4WD and potentially snow chains. We'd love to have you visit anytime! - BRMR
Our stay at Aussie's Den was great! The view was exceptional, the house beautiful and sparkling clean. Amenties were very helpful. Not sure, this is listed, but the kind of coffee pot would be helpful. We stopped at grocery before arriving, bought K cups. My bad! Just sayin...if there is poop in the yard, was not ours. Saw neighbor let his dog use this yard!! Great grill. Comfortable beds. It is a little noisey downstairs. The hot tub was the cleanest I have ever seen!

Amazing view, beautiful and clean home!
My family of four and my parents spent a long weekend at Aussies Den. The house is very nice and very clean. We spent a lot of time in Blowing Rock and Boone doing various activities with the family but when we were at the house, we were outside enjoying the amazing view. There is plenty of comfortable seating on both porches and the views are simply amazing. We cooked most meals inside and the kitchen is very well equipped. Plenty of pots, pans, utensils and gadgets. The only complaint I have is the shower liner in the downstairs bathroom needs to be replaced, it is very, very dirty, but it's an easy fix. We will certainly try to stay here again for our next visit. We didn't use the hot tub so I cannot comment on it but I'm sure it would be nice on a cool evening.

Great Property for a getaway, close to Boon and Blowing Rock. Property Manager was great to work with we didn’t have Gas for the Grill and they had it at the house before night fall. Would recommend this Property

Our group really loved our stay at Aussies Den. It is situated in a great neighborhood with easy access to Boone and Blowing Rock. We could not be happier with the weekend we had going to the App Sate game and visiting campus. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the high country any time of year!
