About this property

Your Storybook Stay at Bird’s Nest-Private-5.5 miles to downtown Boone--HOT TUB!


Bird's Nest is a 3 bedroom one bath mountain cottage on 2 acres, located 5 miles from Boone. At 4268 feet, you are at the top and surrounded by mountains and clear blue sky. Only 12 minutes to downtown Boone and Appalachian State, 25 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railrood, and Appalachian Ski Mountain, 40 minutes to Sugar Mountain and 50 minutes to Beech Mountain. Enjoy all the comforts of home, surrounded by the tranquility and beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains.

On the main level is the master bedroom with a brand new king bed and mattress as well as the bathroom (the bathroom is not connected to the master bedroom), and also the main open living space which encompasses the living room, dining area, and kitchen.

The other two bedrooms are upstairs; one with 2 queen beds and the other with a twin daybed with twin trundle. All furniture and mattresses upstairs are brand new! When you enter upstairs, you enter into the bedroom with the twin daybed, which does have a door to the room but also has an open ceiling from the stairway, so it is not completely enclosed. You will find this space to be great for kids! You will walk through that bedroom to get to the next bedroom, with 2 queen beds. There is a door separating these two rooms.

There are smart TVs located in the living room and every bedroom. Throughout the home you’ll find games and books for your use as well! Outside, you’ll have access to our outdoor fireplace, the deck and of course the hot tub, which is right off of the main level of the house.

Please note, while our house can sleep up to 8 guests, our preference is a max of 6.

Please also note, there is a security camera on the front of the house, which allows us to monitor the driveway. This provides our guests and ourselves with a sense of security while staying at our property.

Friendsgiving Gratitude
Cary was so kind in her responses with my pre-visit questions. While we were there, a fire alarm battery died at 4am (WHY does it always happen in the middle of the night?!) and she made sure to have batteries delivered in a very short period of time, with extra goodies. To say she went "above and beyond" feels like an understatement. It was the perfect space for our quick little Friendsgiving getaway.

Great Anniversary at Birds nest
Great stay with my family for my wife and I’s Anniversary. Large lot for kids to run around and get energy out looking for gnomes placed around the property. After long day and night at Tweesie Railroads “Ghost Train” it was very nice to come home to a hot (and actually clean) hot tub. Wanted to make a fire in the outdoor fireplace but that night the wind was 49 m/hr. So elevated not too. Close to down town as advertised so getting into town for food and breweries was fast and easy. We only had 4 in our family but two more would be fine with the other bed and trundle. Very nice place and area. Would go again in a minute. Cheers.

Cute mountain home not too far from town
Such a welcoming home. My husband and I booked this home for a few days away. The home was so cutely decorated for fall and was well appointed with quality linens and soft plush towels, including designated large plush towels for the hot tub. We didn't really use the upstairs but it had a small TV/game area and a good sized bedroom with two queen beds. The house was well decorated and equipped. Cary responded with any question. Our bed did have an issue with squeaking on getting in and out. On our last day there my husband checked under the bed and realized that the middle legs had somehow gotten turned up and were not touching the floor. Reported this to Cary and it will be addressed. Having chatted with her quite a bit i feel very confident that this is not the norm for this property. There are neighbors nearby -but not right on top of you. The location didn't have a direct mountain view but there was nature around us. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. We liked the quiet of our mountain location , but a 10-15 minute drive brought us right into downtown Boone. We made a trip to Grandfather Mountain which was an easy drive of a little less than an hour. We enjoyed our stay.

Clean, inviting and spacious with amenities that go above and beyond!
This vacation cottage is immaculate! Not only is the home adorable, well decorated and in a great location- its also fully stocked with snacks, kurig pods, games, novels and cozy blankets. The hot tub on the deck is the absolute best hot tub experience Ive ever had- I have relaxed in many a hot tub, but this one has features that set it apart such as salt water, lighting, powerful jets and easy to control settings. It’s the perfect temperature and easy to cover and uncover for ease of use. The grounds are gorgeous and well kept too- we were able to eat outside with privacy and limited insects. 2 things to be aware of: 1. bring your own firewood for the outdoor fire pit if you desire to build a fire. There is wood there but despite the tarp, the wood was too wet to catch fire. 2. There is only one bathroom. We had no problems as a party of 4 including teenage children, but it’s worth noting. This is by far the most cared for I’ve ever felt in a vacation home. The owners really went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s stay is relaxing and fully functional!!

About the host

Hosted by Cary Armstrong

Host profile image
I live in Chapel Hill, NC about 3 hours from Boone. I am a mom of 4, a business owner, and I operate 2 short term rentals. I love being a host and make it my priority to offer my guests the best hospitality I can provide.

Why they chose this property

We got so lucky getting this property. We wanted something to come visit and that we could share with others when we're not there. We love that it is private, but not completely secluded. We can still see neighbors houses. We love how convenient it is to town. Our kids play for hours outside when we come to visit. It is truly a special escape!
