This was a great house, nestled up the mountain (don't ignore the 4WD advice for the winter - I had a few challenges in the summer!), away from but close to Boone. Private setting with everything you might want! Would definitely recommend and/or stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 and when my husband retires from the Marine Corps in 4 years, we wanted a small piece of heaven in the mountains of North Carolina. We love using it as a vacation home and sharing its cozy charm and peacefulness with visitors.

Why they chose this property

Rich Mountain Cabin was the perfect choice for us because it's less than 20 minutes from the amenities that downtown Boone has to offer-great restaurants, games at Appalachian State, greenway trails, indoor aquatic center, and playgrounds, but it feels worlds away from the quick pace of today's life. Besides the occasional car driving by on the gravel road, the only thing you can hear from the porch is the water flowing in the river down the hill and the birds chirping. We are close to some of our favorite hikes at Moses Cone and along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Elk Knob State Park is 5 minutes up the mountain. We also enjoy fishing and tubing down the New River. The fact that is backs up to Elk Knob Game Land means it will continue to be pristine and quiet.
