Rested Traveler is perfectly positioned in one of the most coveted locations in all of the High Country — nestled on Appalachian Ski Mountain between Boone and Blowing Rock, where breathtaking year-round mountain views, fresh mountain air, and an unbeatable mix of adventure and small-town charm surround you in every direction.
The neighborhood along Ski Acres Drive is quiet, residential, and beautifully wooded — a serene and private mountain setting where the only sounds you hear are birdsong, rustling leaves, and the distant energy of the mountain. It is the kind of neighborhood that immediately makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and remember exactly why you came to the mountains in the first place.
Yet despite the peaceful surroundings, everything you could want from a High Country vacation is just minutes away. Appalachian Ski Mountain is right at your doorstep — the High Country’s original ski area since 1962, delivering world-class skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating in winter, and fantastic hiking and outdoor exploration all summer long.
Just 10 minutes away, the iconic village of Blowing Rock captivates with boutique shopping, outstanding dining, and the famous Blowing Rock attraction. Boone, less than 20 minutes away, adds craft breweries, live music, farmers markets, and a vibrant downtown energy anchored by Appalachian State University. And Tweetsie Railroad, the beloved family theme park, is just down the road for a fun afternoon adventure.
This is the High Country at its absolute finest.
