Amen Corner - Close to Boone! Hot Tub, Pet Friendly, Ping Pong, Foosball, Mountain Views
Located in the heart of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, this three bedroom, two bath log home is the perfect location for a romantic getaway or family vacation.
Kick back and enjoy the cool tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains while relaxing by the gas log fireplace in the cozy living area. This comfortable room features soaring ceilings and inviting seating to watch your favorite show or simply reflect on the events of the day.
The fully equipped kitchen offers granite counter tops, Keurig and drip coffeemakers, and stainless appliances, and is a great place to prepare your favorite meal which you can enjoy in the adjacent dining area, featuring a beautiful oak table that seats up to 10. Or if you prefer, take your meal outside and enjoy the table of 4 on the engaging deck surrounded by nature.
There are two main floor guest rooms. One room is equipped with a queen size bed while the other room has two queen size beds. The large full bath is located in between the two bedrooms on this level. Outside, the peace of the surrounding woods and distant views of mountain peaks can be enjoyed from any of the comfortable chairs on the large covered porch. For some, the views are best enjoyed from the soothing waters of the bubbling Hot Tub looking out over the canopied forest.
Back inside, the upstairs loft serves as a media room and family gathering spot, offering a flat screen smart TV with available surround sound for your viewing entertainment. The upstairs master suite has a beautiful king size bed and full private bath, reading nook, and a TV/DVD player. For the perfect viewing of that sporting event, favorite TV show, or movie, the lower level features a large flat screen smart TV, DVD player with surround sound. Or perhaps enjoy a spirited game of foosball, or ping pong located in the garage.
In addition to being close to all the high country attractions, Amen Corner is part of a community that features a Par 3 Public Golf Course and a wealth of great exploring and picnicking areas. Your memories of Amen Corner will last forever. You won't want to leave.
We are not the original owners of Amen Corner, but we feel the name fits! Once we arrived at this corner of the world, walked onto the porch and saw the view, all we could say was “Amen”! This place felt like home. Inside you'll also find a print from the Augusta National golf club's infamous "Amen Corner" turn on the course. We've poured love into this place, and we hope you enjoy our mountain getaway as much as we do!

Amen Corner was a perfect mountain getaway. The home was clean, well organized and welcoming. It had all the needed kitchenware to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. It was a good central location to explore Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and Boone. We loved that we were able to include our dog on the trip; he loved the fresh mountain air! The extra TV room upstairs and rec room downstairs were an added bonus.

We had a great time staying in Amen Corner. The house was perfect, very clean and located perfectly for all our outings. Hot tub was also very well maintained and a nice treat after a day of skiing and ice skating. Parking was tight with several other vehicles but would definitely stay again!

Everything about our quick getaway was perfect! The cabin is nicely updated and situated at the end of a cul-de-sac. It is easily accessible yet still away from the main roads. The cabin was very clean and tidy and comfortable. We will definitely stay again!!!

We enjoyed everything about our stay - the house was so clean, well stocked, cozy and fun. We loved every second of being there / from booking to check out was a wonderful process for our family to get to enjoy a perfect fall weekend in Boone. Proximity to App State was ideal as we were there to visit the school. Thank you for making our stay perfect!

Great stay. If it is snowing or icy you will need awd or 4x4 to get up the last hill to the house. House was quiet location with a great view and the hot tub topped it off. Only 10 miles from hawks nest tubing which is where we went.

We went for Family Weekend at App State. Even though we were very busy with events and activities at ASU we really enjoyed all the amenities the place had to enjoy! It was so close to my daughter's apartment and the ASU campus. Very clean and comfortable and had everything we would need. We would love to stay again when we have more time. Would be ideal for a holiday vacation!
