Blue Moon Lodge, Beautiful Views, Hot Tub, Firepit, 15 Mins from Boone

**In winter months, a 4Wheel Drive vehicle is recommend to access lodge.***

3 Bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 Levels, Expansive Deck, Pool Table

Welcome to Blue Moon Lodge*, a Boone area log cabin, perched high atop a hill with beautiful long-range views. Best of all, you are just 10 minutes from historic downtown Boone, Appalachian State University and Valle Crucis. Sugar Mountain and Appalachian Ski Mtn are only 30 minutes away.

We love to host family vacations, birthdays, anniversaries, romantic get-a-ways, girls-weekends and ASU parents visiting students

*(If your group is larger, consider also renting Starry Nights Lodge just down the hill ! See: Vrbo 444251)

This Tahoe style house has lots of room to spread out. There are two levels of indoor living space and a large wrap-around deck. The main level of the house features an open floor plan with dining and living areas and a fully equipped kitchen that seats ten. One wall contains large, two-story windows looking out to the valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. On the deck, you will find log chairs, custom rockers, picnic table and an outdoor grill. Just off the deck, sits our 3-man hot tub to enjoy the stars. And of course, a mountain firepit awaits to roast marshmallows.

Back inside, the first level is assembled in an Arts and Crafts style, with hardwood flooring and natural finished tongue-and-groove paneling in the cathedral ceiling.

The living area contains a stacked-stone fireplace with gas logs, leather sofas and armchairs, a 37" Roku smart TV, and an impressive Proline billiard table. Beyond the living area is the master bedroom with with it's own romantic gas fireplace and deck. Two windows set into warmly paneled walls, a king bed piled with pillows, and a master bath with shower and jetted jacuzzi tub.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. They share a shared Jack-and-Jill bath with shower & tub.

Blue Moon Lodge offers something for everyone in the family, with mountain views, billiard table and more, all in a lovely setting that is peaceful and still convenient to area attractions and events. *This property was formerly known at Mockingbird Mountain.

Could use a good cleaning

Check in very easy. Getting to property easy minus large washed out gully in drive way- definitely need larger truck/vehicle to go across to not drag. House was good inside. Had to run dishwasher couple of times with coffee mugs and frying pans to clean—- maybe cleaners thought dishwasher had been run or renters did not put in dishwasher cleaner. Hot tub had not been serviced. Crumbs in lazy susans. Left a day early. It was okay . Will not return. I will say owner quick to respond but I am queen of cleanliness and will not send every tiny issue to owner as it is their property and they maintain to their standards.

Peace & tranquility

This house was a beautiful place to stay as we dropped our daughter off at App State. You feel like you’re miles away in the country and yet only 5 min to downtown Boone and all the amenities you need. Views were gorgeous, house was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed! We will be back again

We love this property. We have stayed here twice and the whole family has loved it. The beds and pillows are VERY comfortable, the pool table is great for teens and the view cannot be beat. Having coffee and just staring at the view was something we enjoyed for hours every morning. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing. Gorgeous views all around. Sipping coffee on the deck is such a great way to start your day. End the night with a dip in the hot tub or a game of pool. I can’t rave enough about how perfect this place was for our getaway.

Wonderful location and beautiful views

We took our teenagers and 2 of their friends and we all loved the house. The pool table was fun and we played board games as well. The hot tub was very nice with its own fantastic view and at night you can see lots of stars. The house was close enough to get to Boone quickly but far enough away to feel more remote. The porch was nice with lots of seating and we enjoyed the mornings and evenings out there. Close to tubing, shopping in Boone, Grandfather Mountain and even biking the Creeper Trail in Virginia. Great place to stay.

Incredible View

We have been staying in this area for 10 years over the 4th of July and have yet to find a view like this. Just incredible from every window. The cabin was spotless, communication with host immediate and we really enjoyed having the pool table on the main floor so that everyone was engaged! This was the first time that we did not have central AC and in July I feel like that should be considered. There are window units but NC in July is hot and the temp inside stayed around 80 during the day so just keep it in mind. We were gone most of the time during the day and used fans when we were there. Nothing to keep us from enjoying this property again!

Great Mountain Getaway outside of Boone

We just returned from our stay and had a wonderful time in the mountains. This property has fantastic views, was clean and cozy, and close to Boone and other attractions.
