About this property

A Happy Roost Rustic cabin near Boone with hot tub gas fireplace

Welcome to A Happy Roost!

When you walk into this charming cabin you will feel transported to the pine woods. The rustic all-wood interior of A Happy Roost is warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated throughout. Both decks overlook a garden-like golf course, complete with a pond and long range views of the mountains beyond. Relax in the luxurious hot tub while enjoying the views. Enjoy your favorite beverage by the gas fire table or fire up the grill and enjoy a meal on the spacious upper deck. Take in the sunset in your rocking chair and let the stress melt away at this perfect mountain retreat.

This cabin is ideal for a family getting away or several families to share; there are two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms with a family room downstairs.

Upstairs there is the Primary King suite with a private bathroom, and across the hall is a King bedroom with adjoining bathroom that also opens onto the hallway.

The lower level has a King Bedroom, and down the hall has a Twin over Twin bunk plus a Queen bed.

When its time to settle down for the night, find comfort as each bedroom has a TV.

Movie fan? Bring your favorite DVDs – each bedroom can play them. Also, there is a Blu-ray on the big screen downstairs.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with cooking and serving wares. Enjoy the view while you prepare your meals.

Send the kids to the lower level family room to watch a show or movie on the 51” HDTV or play a few rounds of Ms. Pac Man on the video arcade game while the adults watch the 55” LED HDTV upstairs in the living room. Check out the reclining-seat leather sofas both upstairs and down.

Want to play a game? You will find a carrom set, a card table with cards and poker chips, and a corn-hole game stored in the laundry room. Bring a board game for some family time. We have cables available if you are bringing a game console so you can connect to the TV easily!

It's time to go out and play! Conveniently located in Valle Crucis just 8 minutes from the historic Mast General store and the riverside community park, 10 minutes from Boone shopping and dining, 15 minutes from ASU, and a short drive from Tweetsie Railroad, the town of Blowing Rock, the area's major winter resorts, and Grandfather Mountain.

You are sure to love everything about A Happy Roost. Welcome and enjoy your home away from home!

Great stay in the mountains

Went to visit Boone and Sugar Mountain for my kids to see snow for the first time. The location was tucked away between both making it convenient and relaxing. Well maintained and a beautiful location. Would stay again.

Graet property but the worst customer service ever

The house was just wonderful. It was very well equipped and comfortable. The rooms were perfect and the beds were great. The kitchen had a lot of things. We spent Christmas Eve at the house and it was great. We had the opportunity of seeing snow on Christmas Eve day. Unfortunately, because of the snow and the ice the car got stuck for 2 days and a half and even though we call the Administrators Blue Ridge Rentals more than 6 times in those days, they kept saying that they were going to send someone to help us and remove the ice on the hill ... but that never happened. Long story short ... we had to pay ubers to go around the city and to go to ski ... and even to go to the supermarket. We left the house today in the morning and still they didn’t send anyone or call us to follow up. This is what I called the worst service ever. We regret we stayed with Blue Ridge Rentals.

Great Getaway!

We stayed at a happy roost for a few days! It was very nice and was even better than the photos. We brought 4 medium-large dogs and the house was plenty big for them plus 6 adults and a baby! We liked that the house was divided in levels so that the baby could sleep while the adults and dogs hung out upstairs! The hot tub was a major plus as well! Great location! Would love to stay here again!

Nice stay

The cabin was clean and well stocked. Hot tub was nice, the beds were comfortable and the long range view of the mountains was spectacular, especially at sunset. Two pieces of feedback on the home, I was disappointed there were no rocking chairs on the porches and the chairs that were there were not reallyvcomfortable to sit in and the screen door into the main entrance stuck at the top and the screen was coming out. Very minor issues for sure! Overall we had a great trip!

Ski Trip to Beech Mountain

Location was GREAT. We were only 30 mins from Sugar and Beech Mountain and about 15 minutes from Boone. The house was perfect size for 4 adults and 3 teens and plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean, furniture was well kept and also came with a hot tub that was perfect after a long day on the slopes. The rental company was great of accommodating our request to move up our vacation due to weather. I think we found our yearly rental for our ski trips!!

LOVE this home!!

We were lucky enough to be able to rent A Happy Roost for our youngest son’s graduation from Appalachian on December 16. What a wonderful home! It’s actually even more charming and lovely than it looks in the photos! We had more than enough room for me, my husband and our two older children, and we were able to bring our little Pug with us too since it’s pet friendly (he loved the house too!). Location to App State campus was great - a quick 7-8 minute drive to the Convocation Center for the ceremony, and the house is on a very quiet street that’s tucked away in a lovely neighborhood. House was immaculately clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was THE BEST!! Such an added bonus and such a treat! We enjoyed the hot tub both nights of our stay, and it was so fun to be toasty warm and relaxed in the tub, even though it was freezing and windy outside! The house was cozy and spacious and we just loved it. A Happy Roost indeed! Would definitely love to stay here again!

Great weekend getaway for the family

The cabin was exactly as advertised and the perfect spot for a weekend getaway with the family. Quiet but close to everything you need, the location is great. 25 mins from Grandfather Mountain and 15 mins from downtown Boone. Not really equipped well for cooking dinner but enough pans, etc for making breakfast. Hot tub was clean and fit the whole family. Would definitely stay here again!!
