About this property
Lions Den- Luxury High Country Mountain Escape!
Escape with your family to a luxury cabin tucked into the beautiful mountains of the High Country!
Lions Den has every comfort you'll need to enjoy your mountain retreat. The interior reflects true cabin style with flairs of rustic charm throughout. Our cabin is only minutes from the heart of Boone, Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis, Grandfather Mountain, and multiple ski resorts. Enjoy a prime location and access to all the High Country has to offer in a beautiful cabin home at Lions Den!
Welcome! We're sure you're eager to getaway to a place where you can kick back and relax. We want to invite you to Lions Den and ensure you that we've taken every precaution to provide a safe visit for you. We offer contactless check in via our keyless access system. Our Cabin is professionally deep cleaned between each visit. We bleach all linens and clean all exterior surfaces between visits as well. We are excited for your stay and we are happy to help with any questions you have about the sanitization of our cabin. Thank you!
Lions Den features everything you need for the perfect mountain escape! A wraparound porch welcomes you and invites you to spend time together taking in the picturesque mountain views.
Ready to relax? Perhaps you'd enjoy a dip in the hot tub or a good book in the sun room. Game time? Take your turn at a game of pool or darts while watching the big game. S'mores? Don't miss the fire pit!
Lions Den is located on a well cared for road and has a driveway with plenty of parking space.
We've worked hard to provide all of the conveniences to make your stay stress free, including: on-site laundry, iron, pack and play, high chair, coffee maker, coffee/tea, linens, high speed internet, cable TV and more!
The cabin includes three bedrooms: a third floor master (with king bed) and two first floor bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds). The property also includes a third floor loft with a sofa bed and a lower level bunk bed (one bed is a twin, one bed is a double) in a separate sleeping space off of the basement. There are three full bathrooms, one on each floor with each including a bath/shower.
Please note: standard booking price includes up to 7 guests. For guests 8-10 there is a $40 fee per guest per night.
