About this property

HUGE Decks, Long Range Views, PickleBall, 5 Bedrms, 3 with King Beds, 5.5 Baths

Beautiful 5 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath, modern rustic home with unbelievable long views from the two huge quiet covered decks; Miles of Hiking trails, Trout streams, Cozy fireplaces, Great kitchen, Bike & ATV trails. On The Rocks is a Pet-free Smoke-free luxury mountain cabin located in the 6200 acre gated resort community, Blue Ridge Mountain Club. Guests are invited to enjoy the on-property LookOut Grill, Ascent Wellness Center, Pool, Chetola Sporting Reserve, Jasper Clubhouse, Pavilion, PickleBall, Pool Table, Horseshoes & Bocce Ball.

The 5 bedrooms include 3 King, 1 Queen plus twin, and a 2 twin bed plus 1 double bed bunk room. Each bedroom has an attached private bath. Master king bedroom is on the main living area, two bedrooms on both the upper and lower levels. Dual living areas, one on main floor and one downstairs. Fiber Wi-Fi and good cell reception.

The upper "TreeHouse" level has the two twin plus double bunkbed, the queen bed plus twin bed room, attached private bath for each, netflix in both bedrooms, cozy reading nook, puzzle/game area & a stand up 60-game arcade for Pac-Man, Centipede and Frogger tournaments. Now whatever the weather, our young guests are entertained.

In the main level kitchen, the stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and eating bar make cooking a family activity. Whether you're dishing up macaroni and cheese or pulling steaks off the attached deck gas grill, you will find ample tableware, utensils and cooking/serving pieces. Bon Appetit!

The lower level den with wet bar and fireplace is the perfect spot for game watching. This level also includes a 2nd Primary bedroom with king bed as well as another king bedroom, both with attached full bathrooms. Stepping off the huge L shaped lower deck puts you on the well maintained Nick-a-jack hiking trail, just grab your water bottle and GO.

Guests can walk to enjoy The Watson Gap Pavilion & Lawn with two wood burning fireplaces, pickle ball, pool table, horseshoes, rocking chairs, benches and a flat grassy field perfect for picnics and ball tossing. The new, state of the art Wellness Center which includes high end equipment, showers, coed sauna and reading room is a short walk or a shorter drive from On The Rocks.

Activities abound throughout the year with hiking trails on property, Westglow Spa (rated #1 Destination Spa in the world by Travel & Leisure Magazine) twenty minutes away, shopping and dining in the quaint towns of Blowing Rock and Boone.

Appalachian, Sugar and Beech Mountain are all within 50 minutes, Tweetsie Railroad, Ropes Course & Theme Park just 12 miles away.

Appalachian State University in Boone is the perfect venue for D-3 sports and entertainment offerings throughout the year.

And don't worry about the driving conditions, of course the roads are beautiful, curvy and hilly but all roads to your front door are in excellent shape, paved, well marked and groomed year round.

For your safety, cameras record parking area/trash cages, lower deck exit steps and front entry.. Camera 1 of 3 is located on the front porch to record entry and vehicles coming down Stonecrop towards the trash cage along the left side. This allows us to monitor that snow plowing (when applicable) and repair/maintenance staffs. Camera 2 of 3 is in the recessed storage area on the lower back deck across from and above the 5 lower deck exit steps. It records the walking traffic from the Nick-a-Jack Trail up to the top step. It helps monitor should non-guests who walk by trespass onto the deck system, possibly entering the home if previous guests failed to lock the four sliding doors. Camera 3 of 3 records activity at the trash cans to document weekly pickup.

Great property. We had 10 people, including several kids. They loved the pickle ball courts, bocce ball, and horseshoe pit nearby. We also took a couple of hikes off the back deck. The gym at clubhouse was high quality. Great views, deck. Perfect place for a getaway.

This house is a quintessential mountain house with all of the nice wooden details. The views are amazing and the house was wonderfully decorated for Christmas. It is about 30 minutes into Blowing Rock or Boone but we enjoyed being a little further out. The basketball, pickleball courts, and fire pit (all very close to the house and walkable) were a nice addition to the stay. We had dinner at the Lookout Grille one evening and we highly recommend it.

Sometimes ‘quick and fun’, with today’s busy schedules is all the time we have…..so why not make the most of it? So glad you and yours found time to explore and enjoy the breathtaking long range Blue Ridge Mountains along with our community’s high end amenities. Having Ascent Wellness Center, LooKOut Grill, hiking trails and PICKLE BALL all within walking distance sure seems a great way to both save & maximize time together. Thanks for trusting On The Rocks with your 72 hours! A

We love hearing you and your friends enjoyed the togetherness and the privacy offered @ On The Rocks! The home was built for parties just like yours, with each couple having a private bedroom/bathroom for a relaxing end to a beautiful, active mountain day. I’m so glad you enjoyed at day in Blowing Rock. America’s Main Street, as it’s often referred to, It has something for everyone, flanked by gorgeous hanging baskets and lush, colorful flowers worked in among the locally owned stores. If guests ask should they visit BR, I say I know I’m biased, but you really haven’t experienced the western NC mountains until you walk end to end along U shaped Main Street savouring the safety, beauty, history & creativity it offers. So glad your gang agrees! Happy 2026, we hope to have you back again, A

This home is very accommodating, there was enough room for 4 adults and 5 teens where we didn’t feel on top of each other, not to mention steps away from hiking trails, pickleball courts and a pavilion. The best spot was on the back deck enjoying the view and each other’s company. Blowing Rock and Boone were about 20-30 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by RICHARD HICKS

Host profile image
I was lucky enough to grow up vacationing with my aunts in the Blue Ridge Mountains, as we would road trip to escape the middle GA summer heat. The long range blue mountain views, the quaint towns of Blowing Rock, Boone and Valle Crucis, the public golf courses & tennis courts and the delicious restaurants made such an impression, I hoped to one day not only share the mountains with my family, but to own a little piece of heaven here as well.

In 2009 we were introduced to the beautiful 6,000 acre Blue Ridge Mountain Club, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The location, views, maintained hiking trails, year round paved road access and community feel of the planned development just felt right. In 2010 we were fortunate to complete the construction of this Cottage which we offer as a short and long term rental home year round.

Welcome!

Why they chose this property

We dreamed of having a NC mountain place for years. Once we had the ownership opportunity, we wanted to make sure we had room for everyone - our twins, their friends, family, other mountain lovers - when we made the trip from our home in GA to the mountains. We were able to design and build this home with room for everyone; we have found it to be the perfect property for a crowd!

With 5 bedrooms, each with an attached full bathrooms, two living areas and two huge decks there is room and privacy for everyone.

In 2018 we added 7 smart tv's and rearranged the upper level for more kid fun. The "TreeHouse" as we now refer to it, boasts a 2 twin, 1 double bed bunk unit, cozy reading nook, puzzle/game space and an old fashioned 60-game stand up arcade game for PacMan, Frogger or Centipede tournaments. So whatever the weather our young guests are entertained.

On the main level kitchen, the stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and eating bar make cooking a family activity. Whether you're dishing up macaroni and cheese or pulling steaks off the attached deck gas grill, you will find ample tableware, utensils and cooking/serving pieces. Bon Appetit!

The lower level den with wet bar and fireplace is the perfect spot for game watching. This level also includes a 2nd master with king bed and a queen bedroom, both with attached full bathrooms.

Stepping off the huge L shaped lower deck puts you on the well maintained Nick-a-Jack hiking trail, just grab your water bottle and GO!
