About this property

Mountain Laurel Lodge - Log Cabin in Boone with Hot Tub, Great Views & Pool Table

Mountain Laurel Lodge, a beautiful log cabin overlooking the picturesque Willow Valley, is filled with custom touches and is the ideal family mountain getaway!

The main level has an open concept living space and features a well appointed eat-in kitchen with gas stove, stainless steel KitchenAid brand appliances, and granite countertops. The extended length dining table includes 6 chairs and has plenty of room to pull up 2-4 Windsor chairs to accommodate 10. There is even room for 2 more at the counter bar! The living room features a floor to ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs, a 50” HDTV, and comfortable brushed denim seating and rustic furnishings. The ceiling extends into a cathedral peak and beautiful laurel branches intertwine and climb along the stairwell to the loft above, providing a unique mountain touch. Two bedrooms with a full bathroom between are off the main level. One bedroom has a King bed and a 37" HDTV, and the other has two extended-length twin beds.

Upstairs, the large open loft includes a comfortable washed denim sofa with chaise sectional, two XL-length twin beds in a nook, a lounger and ottoman, window reading nook, antique card/puzzle table, and 50" HDTV with DVD player. A third bedroom with a King bed and full bathroom are off the loft.

The lower level large mudroom allows direct entry from the ground level, and leads into the recreation room where you can enjoy the regulation pool table and 48" HDTV. This level also includes a set of twin bunk beds, a half bath with laundry and access to the single-car garage.

Besides offering many great features indoors, Mountain Laurel Lodge offers outdoor experiences too! Step out onto the lower deck and soak away your cares in the brand new 4-person hot tub or relax in the large hammock, both overlooking the year-round mountain views. Or, enjoy roasting marshmallows at the fire pit just beyond the drive. Rustic laurel benches add to the ambiance! Also, early risers, be sure to experience the beautiful sunrise over Willow Valley while rocking on the main level covered deck, or relax in the porch swing with a good book. Don't forget to enjoy outdoor dining and the large gas grill.

Plenty of space, comfort and privacy abound in and around this cabin, located in Vilas, next to Valle Crusis and less than 10 minutes to Boone dining, shopping and Appalachian State University. Mountain Laurel Lodge is minutes away from Main Street Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, the Blue Ridge Parkway, outlet shops, Ski Beech, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Hawksnest Resort, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls and Caverns, and every other High Country attraction just a short drive away.

Perfect mountain family vacation!
We absolutely loved this cabin! Great amount of space for everyone (we had 3 adults and 5 teenagers). Everyone had their own bed, the kids loved the pool table and we all loved the fireplace and views from every window. There were extra blankets in every room, warm bedding on all the beds (which were very comfortable). The kitchen had everything we needed, both a Keurig and a coffee pot for lots of coffee or single cup use, great selection of pots and pans, plenty of dishes and silverware, there’s even a crock pot in the closet in the bathroom. If you’re planning who to sleep where (during winter months) the upstairs is warmest (heat from the fireplace rises and it’s about 10 degrees warmer upstairs), main level is comfortable and downstairs (the bunk beds by the pool table) was the coldest level (probably 10 degrees cooler than the main level). It was perfect for our teenage boys who loved the colder room and the teenage girls all slept upstairs in the loft where it was warmest. Those who like it cooler when they sleep should be on the main level. It worked out perfectly for everyone in our group! Tip: if you’re planning to ski during the holiday season, get there no later than 8am or you’ll be stuck in lines all day. Don’t even bother trying to tube on Sugar Mountain, we waited hours for tickets and they sold out every session in about 15 minutes. Go online in advance of your trip and reserve tubing tickets at Hawks Nest or Beech Mountain instead.

Beautiful Cabin for a Family Getaway
This cabin was the perfect place for our family. The cabin had every amenity we needed and everyone in our group ranging in age from 19 to 81 found something to enjoy. We enjoyed the porch views, the hot tub, the pool table, and the quiet evenings. The property manager responded quickly to address one minor problem we encountered after hours. We would love to return again to the Mountain Laurel Lodge in the future.

Absolutely Perfect!
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and decorated so charmingly for Christmas. It was the perfect place for our family to gather together to enjoy a belated holiday together. The cabin hosted all nine adults with plenty of room and activities. I would highly recommend staying here. We had a marvelous time.

Fourth time!
This place is not only wonderful for a quick get away with your partner, but also for the kids. Impeccably clean with all the wonderful amenities that you could need. The location is absolutely fantastic. If you’re looking for a place that is close to both then, and blowing rock.

Early spring visit
The cabin is very up to date and was very clean. It was roomy enough to spread out and had good gathering space to eat together and play games. The property and surrounding area is beautiful and well worth a visit. Read everything they send you and DO NOT come in from Moore Mount Road.

Wonderful place, location, and views!
This place was perfect for our recent long weekend stay. The cabin was just like the pictures, even bigger than expected. More than enough room for our family of 6 and friends who came over for dinner and to enjoy the pool table in the basement. We loved the hot tub, kids included, the beautiful views, the kitchen accommodations, the comfy beds, the space, and the location to downtown Boone, hawksnest snow tubing, grandfather winery, and wilderness mountain coaster. We would 100% stay again, perhaps with more of us since it sleeps 10! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Clean home perfect with multiple families with teenagers
Property was very clean upon arriving. The location is close to everything but far enough away to be private. We stayed in the home with our 3 teenage children and another family of two adults and two teenage children. There was room enough for everyone and even some space left. The hot tub, fire pit, and pool table were great and well used. The loft area upstairs served as the perfect place for morning yoga. The window seat made for the a comfy place to escape if needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was as advertised; from pictures of the property to the writeup on the listing. Loved it!
They say "Location. Location. Location." is important and this place fits the bill! We spent 3 days traveling within 1/2 hour of Mountain Laural Lodge in all directions and didn't have enough time to do all we wanted to do! From Linville Falls to Grandfather Mountain to Downtown Blowing Rock to vista's along the Blue Ridge Parkway, it was great to be so close to so much that made this one if the best trips my wife and I have taken! That includes the Smokies for Christmas last year! That's saying something!! Hope to bring our daughter, son-in-law and grand daughter back here next year!

Will definately be coming back!
I've stayed at a few different properties around Boone and also Ashville, but this one is definitely my favorite. The road winding up the mountain to the lodge is a little bumpy, but no big deal especially if you have a 4x4. The upstairs to the lodge is perfect for kids, with two single beds, plus a double bedroom, a bathroom, and a very comfy window seat, couch, and TV! This alone made the stay worthwhile as the kids were able to relax up there, while the adults watched TV by the fire downstairs!

Loved the property. It was beautiful, inside and out and very clean. Loved the wrap around porch. Kids loved hot tub. Decor was so homey - very cozy and relaxing from the moment we walked in. Close to Boone and Blowing Rock but it was hard to pull myself away from the fireplace and go out. I’d highly recommend the cabin to anyone looking for an escape and incredible views. 5 ⭐️ for sure!!
