About this property

Welcome to Mountain Thyme!

Mountain Thyme, located in the Valle Crucis Community above the Watauga River, has excellent access to everything in the High Country. A short ride down the road will bring you to The Original Mast Store and Mast Store Annex, where you can shop for all your outdoor needs and get candy from the candy barrel. The riverside Valle Crucis Community Park entrance is next to the Mast Store Annex and offers flat walking trails, playgrounds, various ball fields and courts, and access to the river for fishing, wading, and floating. The park features live music on summer weekends. Downtown Boone, home to Appalachian State University, is a twenty-minute drive and boasts local dining, shopping, and breweries. Take a ride to Banner Elk, where you can enjoy wineries, local dining, and maybe a ride on the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster.

Mountain Thyme is an elegant mountain cabin with custom finishes throughout. The great room greets you with vaulted natural wood ceilings with exposed beams that carry throughout the entire home. The stacked stone fireplace is in the middle of a wall of picture windows letting in natural light and offering guests long-range mountain views. The living room furniture surrounds the gas fireplace, where guests can enjoy a show on the Smart TV. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meal, including stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, and a large island with seating for four guests. The dining table has seating for six and leads directly to the outdoor living area. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and views from the fire pit or the hot tub on the stone patio. The outdoor cabana provides a built-in grill and a covered seating area where guests can relax after a day of exploring. The second-floor family room offers an additional living space for guests to spread out, play a game of pool, or relax on the leather furniture watching a movie on the big screen TV. The family room also has a wet bar, a Juliette balcony, and a full bathroom.

This spacious cabin has four sleeping areas, including two master suites. The main level master suite has a king bed and private ensuite bathroom with double vanities, a step-in shower, and a soaking tub. Access to the stone patio off the bedroom makes for a perfect atmosphere for enjoying your morning coffee. Upstairs is a second master suite with a king bed, a Juliette balcony, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a smart TV. The Crow's Nest above the loft, accessed via a spiral staircase, serves as an additional sleeping area with a queen bed.

Additional amenities include AC, WiFi, a writing desk and sleeper sofa in the loft, a laundry room, and a dog run. The front entryway is covered, making for easy loading and unloading. Pets are welcome on your vacation with an additional pet fee. AWD or 4WD and snow chains are highly recommended for winter travelers.

Upscale gorgeous cabin!

This is the most beautiful cabin I have ever stayed in. It has everything you would need! We had our 90 and 87 year old parents join us and our requirement was a step less entrance with the master bedroom and bath on the main level. It was perfect for them. My only disappointment was the fact that the pool room was on the upper level. Our parents were unable to navigate the stairs and enjoy that amenity with us but they enjoyed their evening TV time together. The outside had a fire pit, hot tub, grill all on a level stone patio area. We highly recommend this gorgeous cabin for families to stay. And this cabin is pet friendly! It’s a win win!

Gorgeous Cabin

The house was absolutely beautiful. Looked just like the listing. Comfortable beds. Great kitchen with lots of dishes and cooking accessories. Negatives were the lack of insulation between walls. You could hear absolutely everything. Caution to those bringing a baby like we did. Would help to have rugs throughout the house. The dryer was terrible. Took over five rounds in the dryer for our clothes to finally dry. Not the best for dogs. The house is on the top of a hill so the only flat land is the driveway. They limit the amount of towels, dish soap and trash bags so recommend bringing more. They did state that in the welcome email but I didn’t think the towels would be one per person. The huge windows were a big drawing point for us to choose this house. The blinds, however, were remote controlled so we were not able to lower them. After contacting the rental agency, they said they could send someone to lower them but they would have to stay lowered throughout our trip. The TV is located between the windows, so it was blinding to try and watch anything. We all wore sunglasses in the morning. The house is off an extremely windy road. Takes about 10 minutes to go less than 5 miles. Far from town so wasn’t the best for going back in forth.

The place was awesome! Beautiful! Great scenery. I wish the check in and check out times were different because we lost 2 full days of being able to enjoy the resort. A few minor things were in need of repair but I advised the owners the day of departure. All in all, I am planning on reserving this place for more time next year! It was amazing!
