About this property

Historic Thomas Chapel house - Half mile from Downtown Boone

Update: The chapel is fully functional and welcoming guests following Helene!

Thomas Chapel was originally built in Watauga county near Tennessee in 1886 . decommissioned in 1967 and then bought in 1977 as a Mother's day gift for a former member of the church . It was taken apart and reassembled in her backyard. Her great grandson later converted the chapel to what is now the comfortable sanctuary located in a private valley on the outskirts of Boone. The church has been turned into a home which boasts a bell tower and 30 foot vaulted ceiling complete with the original hand hewn structural timbers. Nestled in a scenic hollow with a mountain stream and woods on one side and farmland on the other. Half a mile from downtown Boone, this private chapel is conveniently located 1 mile from Appalachian States Campus, and 20 minutes from 2 of the areas finest ski resorts. Come and experience a piece of high country history.

The vrbo was very nice, clean and comfortable. Privacy was great. The owner was flexible with our booking when requested due to a health issue and Hurricane Helene last year. Would recommend renting this property.
