This spacious home offers 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, providing ample room for family and guests to relax and unwind—both indoors and out. The luxurious Master Suite is a true retreat, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, a plush King-sized bed, a spa-like jetted tub, and a walk-in tiled shower. French doors open directly onto the expansive deck, where you can sip your morning coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of the nearby creek.

On the main level, you'll find two additional bedrooms: one with a cozy Queen bed and its own private full bathroom, and another with two Twin beds—perfect for kids or guests. A shared hallway bathroom with a walk-in shower adds extra convenience. Upstairs, a private loft bedroom offers a quiet escape with a Queen bed and a charming half bath.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals, including a variety of pots and pans, a K-Cup coffee maker, a traditional drip coffee maker, blender, crockpot, baking pans, and an assortment of serving dishes. Salt, pepper, and a selection of spices are also provided for your convenience.
Gather in the warm and inviting family room, where a stunning natural stone, wood-burning fireplace takes center stage. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and expansive windows create a bright, airy atmosphere that brings the beauty of the outdoors inside.

Step outside onto the expansive wraparound deck—a perfect space for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply relaxing while the soothing sound of the nearby creek provides a peaceful backdrop. The deck features comfortable outdoor seating and a high-quality Weber gas grill, making it ideal for family cookouts or quiet evenings under the stars. Just below, you can sit beside the creek, dip your toes in the cool water, lose yourself in a good book, or drift off for a restful afternoon nap.

Inside, the home is equipped with modern amenities to keep you comfortable and connected. Enjoy high-speed wireless internet, cable TV, a foosball table and a dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. For those needing to work remotely, a cozy office loft above the Master Suite includes two monitors, a universal docking station, and a printer—perfect for a productive stay with scenic inspiration.

Great Memorial weekend getaway

Great mountain house with a stream right out back that the kids loved. As well as Fishing pond at the golf course. Well stocked with towels, linens, kitchen utensils and cookware. Owners gave great recommendations for hikes, activities and restaurants that we took advantage of as well!

Awesome Labor Day weekend!

Perfect long weekend in the High Country, Hound Ears, and Creekside Getaway. Continuous sounds of the babbling brook very calming, peaceful on our much-needed work break. Kitchen well stocked with cooking, eating needs; better than we have experienced in other rentals.

Great house in a great location

Our family of 4 adults and 4 kids (6-17) enjoyed our stay over Christmas. The host asked if we wanted it decorated and we thankfully accepted. It was beautiful. The house is in a very nice gated neighborhood close to multiple ski resorts, shopping, and lots of other attractions. The views from the windows and deck were beautiful. The neighborhood was quiet offering privacy. We cooked almost every meal in the well equipped kitchen using the table that comfortably seats eight. There are 5 well stocked grocery stores nearby. Businesses have recovered well from Hurricane Helene. It was snowing when we arrived and we were pleased to find the roads well maintained in the neighborhood. Even though the driveway is steep, it has an attached carport big enough to hold our large van to load and unload under a covered area. My wife was glad I was driving when it came to backing up the driveway. We used the master BR walk in closet for a single air mattress for a kid with special needs (on oxygen). We would stay here again!

A lovely place

I needed a vacation and a good place to be with my family. And I was lucky enough to find the Tricia and Chip house. It is located in North Carolina and was the perfect space to disconnect and reconnect with nature. We spent a week in that super special place. In which you only hear the noise of the streams, birds and enjoy a wonderful view. When we arrived at the house we found more than what VRBO advertised, we found a home with absolutely all the comforts for a relaxing stay. It is a super clean house, everything works. Anything you want to cook there is the necessary utensil to do it. When we arrived we received a courtesy call from the owners, to put themselves at the disposal of any doubt or question. I tell them that when you arrive at this house you find a folder with all the necessary information you need about how it works, as well as suggestions for places to eat, visit, go hiking, etc. I regret that my text does not reflect all the beautiful things that my family and I experience in that place. I would definitely go back but for much longer. Thanks again to its owners because they thought of everything. Thank you and we hope to return soon.

Great Stay

We had a great stay!! House and grounds were very nice in Hounds Ears. Plenty of room and extremely well stocked. Everything was very nice and the owners were very responsive. Only issue was water heaters had a little trouble keeping up with demand as it was very cold out. Would be a great place to stay any time of year

Wonderful Family Vacation

The house is very nice, super clean with a fully stocked kitchen. We had our annual family Thanksgiving with a range of ages from 14 to late 70's and everyone had a wonderful time. The house is big enough to enjoy privacy as well as cozy enough to enjoy family time. The roads are a little steep but nothing different than anywhere else in Boone. The hosts are also very responsive to any question. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
