About this property

Amen Corner - Close to Boone! Hot Tub, Pet Friendly, Ping Pong, Foosball, Mountain Views

Located in the heart of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, this three bedroom, two bath log home is the perfect location for a romantic getaway or family vacation.

Kick back and enjoy the cool tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains while relaxing by the gas log fireplace in the cozy living area. This comfortable room features soaring ceilings and inviting seating to watch your favorite show or simply reflect on the events of the day.

The fully equipped kitchen, with granite counter tops and stainless appliances, is a great place to prepare your favorite meal which you can enjoy in the adjacent dining area, featuring a beautiful oak table that seats up to 10. Or if you prefer, take your meal outside and enjoy the table of 4 on the engaging deck surrounded by nature.

There are two main floor guest rooms. One room is equipped with a queen size bed while the other room has two queen size beds. The large full bath is located in between the two bedrooms on this level.
Outside, the peace of the surrounding woods and distant views of mountain peaks can be enjoyed from any of the comfortable chairs on the large covered porch. For some, the views are best enjoyed from the soothing waters of the bubbling Hot Tub looking out over the canopied forest.

Back inside, the upstairs loft serves as a media room and family gathering spot, offering a flat screen smart TV with available surround sound for your viewing entertainment.
The upstairs master suite has a beautiful king size bed and full private bath, reading nook, and a TV/DVD player.
For the perfect viewing of that sporting event, favorite TV show, or movie, the lower level features a large flat screen smart TV, DVD player with surround sound. Or perhaps enjoy a spirited game of foosball, or ping pong located in the garage.

In addition to being close to all the high country attractions, Amen Corner is part of a community that features a Par 3 Public Golf Course and a wealth of great exploring and picnicking areas. Your memories of Amen Corner will last forever. You won't want to leave.

We are not the original owners of Amen Corner, but we feel the name fits! Once we arrived at this corner of the world, walked onto the porch and saw the view, all we could say was “Amen”! This place felt like home. Inside you'll also find a print from the Augusta National golf club's infamous "Amen Corner" turn on the course. We've poured love into this place, and we hope you enjoy our mountain getaway as much as we do!

Beautiful house!

We had a great time staying in Amen Corner. The house was perfect, very clean and located perfectly for all our outings. Hot tub was also very well maintained and a nice treat after a day of skiing and ice skating. Parking was tight with several other vehicles but would definitely stay again!

We loved every second of being there / from booking to check out was a wonderful process for our family to get to enjoy a perfect fall weekend in Boone.

Amazing cabin!

Everything about our quick getaway was perfect! The cabin is nicely updated and situated at the end of a cul-de-sac. It is easily accessible yet still away from the main roads. The cabin was very clean and tidy and comfortable. We will definitely stay again!!!

Amen Corner was PERFECT! The home was clean & photos don’t really do the space justice. Located close to both Boone & Blowing Rock — lots to do in the area. Property manager was quick to respond to any questions or needs. The views from the porch were great and a perfect place to relax.

Spring break 2023

We had the best experience from booking our cabin, to checking-in, to our amazing stay, and last, check-out! This was an incredibly smooth vacation with not one hiccup! The cabin was a perfect fit for my family with so much comfort and cleanliness. We enjoyed “home cooked” meals with all the amenities onsite. This was the most perfect vacation stay for my outdoorsy family, including our sweet Marley! 🐾We loved the hot tub after all the long hikes and enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful wraparound porch. We can’t wait to come back! 🥾⛰️❤️

Great stay with friends

My friends and I had a terrific and relaxing weekend at Amen Corner. The cabin was absolutely comfortable, spacious, clean, and it was equipped with everything we needed. We had a little situation with the wi-fi and the management quickly did everything possible to address the situation. Communication with management, the check-in, and check-out process were seamless. The house is on the market, but until it sells I would definitely recommend it.

PERFECT!

Upon arrival to Amen’s Corner we were pleased to see it was everything as stated in ad and more!! The house itself gave us the rustic feel of being in the mountains! The layout was perfect for friends and family to enjoy time together and a little time apart. The cabin was well equipped and kitchen was stocked nicely for us to make a couple dinners at “home”. The cleanliness of the property was greatly appreciated!! And the views!!! Porch was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and sipping wine in the evening! We will definitely recommend and we do plan to return, especially for some ping pong rematches!

Amazing property

This house was perfect from start to finish! The listing was detailed and very accurate. Booking was easy, although I HATE all the separate fees that VRBO has broken down instead of just a total price when looking. Communication the entire time with the management company was a breeze and they went above and beyond to make sure we knew how to get in contact with them should an issue arise, which it never did. We arrived at the property and it was very clean and spacious. The basement level with ping pong and foosball was a hit! The hot tub was extremely clean and the views were breathtaking. Kitchen plates, silverware, etc were plentiful. I loved the starter kit in the bathrooms and kitchen of soap, etc. Extra trash bags in each trash can was very useful. Checkout was also a breeze. Honestly can’t say anything bad about this property. Not sure why they don’t want you parking in the driveway, it is steep but not unmanageable.

July 4 weekend getaway

Very comfortable & well-appointed cabin, very clean, had everything we needed...would love to stay again. Unfortunately the AC was broken prior to arrival and it did not get fixed before our stay. It got quite hot (80 degrees inside cabin) during the day. The maintenance man did bring individual AC units for the bedrooms, which helped at night, but they were quite noisy and not effective in cooling the kitchen & living areas. The property manager called to alert us to the problem shortly after our arrival, but never called back to follow-up and calls to the office went to voicemail due to the holiday weekend. The only other issue was the wi-fi, which worked intermittently at best.

What a delightful retreat!

Despite being fairly close to Boone, Valle Crucis, and Blowing Rock, city life seemed far away. After driving up the gravel road to a quiet cul de sac, we felt like we were truly tucked into the mountains! Sweeping beautiful views of mountains and trees from every window. I just could not get over the views. Such a peaceful place to relax with our family. Plenty of space (3 levels) and a wrap around back porch with the hot tub and outdoor tables and chairs. We were here 4 1/2 days and no one wanted to leave. The house is very "rustic" in that everything is exposed wood on the interior. No sheetrock anywhere. It took me off guard, but then I began to appreciate the warmth of the look of the wood. It is definitely a cabin feel, probably normal in this area, but new to me. Nothing is too precious which is nice if you have multi-generational family vacations (ie. kids/grandkids). The furniture is all sturdy solid wood etc. Kinda like being at your grandparent's house. The basement was kid central, complete with an infant bouncy chair (much to our delight), toys and legos, fooseball (highlight), and a ping pong table. The beds were all comfortable and the upstairs master was SO spacious, with built-in bookshelves and a breathtaking view of the mountains. Just a wonderful place to relax and rejuvenate. Everything was clean as a pin. Spotless. I do have 3 negatives, but they did not take away from our trip. I only mention them in order to help others make the right decision for their families. The road up is pretty steep and all gravel, with ruts in it like some of the gravel has been washed away. We had jeeps and suvs and the one sedan made it fine. I would not want to drive it in winter without 4WD, though. Secondly, the TVs are not smart tvs. Well, I'm not sure about the VERY large one in the basement. It might be. We had brought amazon firestick and chromecast, just in case we could use them, but did not. There is a tv and dvd player in every bedroom, which was nice. There is also a Wii there. Lastly, the couches could stand to be replaced. None of them were very comfortable. They all looked very clean, but probably at least over a decade old. At the price point offered, we could overlook it. It is truly the most well stocked vacation rental I have ever experienced. Very organized and clutter free. Every cooking utensil, even spices, were present. We were very comfortable and will remember this vacation fondly.
