About this property

Newly remodeled modern farmhouse in a country setting. Quiet with views

A cozy house that lets you enjoy each other’s company, but yet lets you have your private time with a smart tv in each room. Easily accessible year round, with paved driveway. Quiet country setting with Mountain Views, and a fire pit for viewing the stars, hanging out with friends and family while making smores, or waiting for the fireflies, aka. (lighting bugs), to come out. Room for gathering outdoors for guest activities, or stay cool inside with the new AC. A small creek runs through the property. Enjoy relaxing on one of 3 porches with your coffee and a book or personal media, while being visited by deer and other wildlife. Near Boone, Valle Crucis, Sugar Grove, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock, where you will find lots of quaint shops and a plethora of dining venues. A short distance to shopping, theme parks, skiing, tubing, biking , hiking , state parks, stream fishing, canoeing, swimming, zip lining, climbing courses, horseback riding and gem mining. A lake within 20 minutes with boat rentals available.Also convenient to many restaurants and markets. Convenient to Appalachian State sporting and cultural events. A great place to explore local arts, including murals, and crafts, or a farmers market. There are several Christmas tree farms nearby. The surrounding yard is for your enjoyment only. The adjacent 2 story building is for storage (not for occupancy). The house is easily accessed via about a "0" inch rise from the driveway to the porch and no steps to that entrance, only a threshold. Relax in a clean and cozy property with the people you enjoy spending time with, while visiting the beautiful area.

Perfect Boone weekend!

My fiancé and I stayed here with my parents for an App state game and it was perfect. I wish we could have spent more time at the house because it was so cozy and peaceful. Stocked with everything you need and in such a great location. We would definitely book again!

Comfortable accommodations for our girls trip

Clean, cozy, comfortable home. Had everything we needed. Out of the hustle and bustle but an easy trip into Boone and Blowing Rock. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the porch. Great place for 2 friends to relax and catch up. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great mountain getaway

We stayed here to visit our son at App State and see a football game. The property exceeded our expectations. Such a cute house that is completely remodeled; modern but cozy. Had everything we needed. No steep driveway or scary roads to drive to get there was a huge bonus! Would stay again, highly recommend!

Charming home in great location!

Martha was so responsive and is a fantastic host. Her home is updated and has great character. The kitchen had everything for us to eat in if we wanted to cook and the layout of the home allowed for good family time. We would definitely stay here again, close to Boone and Grandfather mountain away from people.

Boone Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities at the property and the view. The home was cozy and had all the comforts. Martha is a very pleasant host. She was always available by phone or text and very quickly responded to our needs and questions. The 3 bedroom home was perfect for our party of five. It made our vacation very enjoyable and memorable.

Great place

Wonderful experience. Would definitely stay here again. I would recommend bringing trash bags, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, tp, zippies, etc from home(I personally don’t like buying these things at my destination, especially when I only need small qtys) and asking about fire starter & wood supplies before you get there. Also be sure to watch your speed bc there is a school on the road. Really beautiful, nice neighbors, highly recommend :)

Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The two little ones loved rolling down the gently sloping yard and playing in the creek. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and by the fire pit. The house had plenty of space and was so charming, comfortable and clean. Great setup in the kitchen as well! We were surrounded by lovely scenery and sounds of nature and the weather couldn’t have been nicer. We did a lot of exploring in the surrounding area including Grandfather Mtn, Tweetsie Railroad and Boone. Martha was a welcoming and wonderful host and we had a great time. Would absolutely come back!

This is the second year we have stayed at Rosie’s Roost and we simply could not rate it high enough. It is such a cute home, is absolutely immaculate, spotless and every need or want is accommodated. The rooms are spacious, decorated in great taste and the mattresses are SO comfortable (and I am a past back surgery recipient) and we just love everything about the house and the location. It is close enough to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn, and even Erwin, TN for daytrips of all types…for us sightseeing in the gorgeous mountains and shopping. I cannot think of anything that we needed that wasn’t provided. It is just a lovely, lovely place to stay. It is wonderful to have a morning cup of coffee in the cool, crisp mountain air every morning. I’m a country girl, so hearing cows mooing and roosters crowing is HOME for me. Martha, the homeowner is just a treasure and I am sure if we were to have needed anything, she would have quickly rushed right over. We recommend this property highly, we love it and will never stay anywhere else when planning our yearly trips and will continue to go back every October.

My daughter and I stayed here for a weekend while visiting AppState and thoroughly enjoyed our time at this perfect little cottage. Martha was very accommodating with our last minute booking request and responded promptly to all communication. We arrived late at night but found the property easily. It was so clean and tastefully decorated! While we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and explore more of the area if we are here again in the future.

Super nice property that was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating, extra blankets, and even nice real plants around the house. Kind of felt like the owner left everything needed in place, cleaned it real nice and moved out for a few days to let us come visit, would definitely stay again!
