Welcome To Your Gorgeous Log Cabin!
This is what you come to the High Country for: captivating, relaxing spaces – inside and out. Bring Fido and the whole family to enjoy this mountain haven with all the comforts of home, including the luxury of space.
No one has to feel crowded at Kapena Escape – and no one has to compromise. Multiple master bedrooms comfortably accommodate couples, with king-size beds and bonuses like double vanities in the bathroom, or walk-out access to the hot tub. The house sleeps 12 and includes 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, 1 full bed and extra futons. There are also 3 and a ½ baths.
Sit a spell in the rocking chairs on your wide wrap-around deck, soaking in the view of the lake directly in front of you and the majestic mountains cresting the horizon. Or take in the view from the hot tub! When you're ready for indoor entertainment, you'll find a lower-level media room with a flat screen TV, popcorn station, lots of games, and of course Wi-Fi for the TV and Internet.
You'll love this home's tasteful décor and rustic mountain touches. You'll also be fully-equipped to handle any kitchen projects you want to take on, with pots, pans, dishes and a nice outdoor grill – at your service. All linens are included as well, and there's a washer and dryer for your convenience.
Although most High Country homes are well-cooled by our sweet summer mountain breezes, we've also outfitted your vacation get-away with central air conditioning and ceiling fans. In the winter, the fireplace provides lots of snuggling opportunities.
This home was built with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. It's located in a gated log cabin community with paved roads. There's even a garage to keep your car comfy!
Explore The High Country
Kapena Escape is located in the heart of the High Country, which offers visitors a wide spectrum of attractions and outdoor recreation. You're close to restaurants and terrific shopping in West Jefferson, including antique stores and art galleries. There's even a quaint movie theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest.
Drive a little further to Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Tour the campus of Appalachian State University, or visit our craft breweries. And remember that here in the High Country, the journey is as satisfying as the destination, with gorgeous scenery at every turn.
Or take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, for the most amazing vistas and scenery. It was voted one of the top 10 drives in the country for a reason.
In the winter enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing or ice skating at one of the many area resorts. In spring or summer, the New River offers tubing, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Warmer months are also a perfect time for horseback riding, hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or bicycling through the area's many scenic routes. If you're a sportsman, don't forget to take advantage of our outstanding trout and small bass fishing.
Or – just sit on the porch and feel the stress of the city melt away.
Dogs Welcome! Must be well behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older and 45lbs or less. $50 / per pet. 2 dog limit.
StayBlueRidge, located in downtown West Jefferson, offers over 80+ quality vacation rentals in West Jefferson, Boone and surrounding areas.
