About this property

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, with granite counter tops and stainless appliances, 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!

Beautiful house!

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!

Amazing property

This house was perfect from start to finish! The listing was detailed and very accurate. Booking was easy, although I HATE all the separate fees that VRBO has broken down instead of just a total price when looking. Communication the entire time with the management company was a breeze and they went above and beyond to make sure we knew how to get in contact with them should an issue arise, which it never did. We arrived at the property and it was very clean and spacious. The basement level with ping pong and foosball was a hit! The hot tub was extremely clean and the views were breathtaking. Kitchen plates, silverware, etc were plentiful. I loved the starter kit in the bathrooms and kitchen of soap, etc. Extra trash bags in each trash can was very useful. Checkout was also a breeze. Honestly can’t say anything bad about this property. Not sure why they don’t want you parking in the driveway, it is steep but not unmanageable.

Wonderful getaway

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!

Spring break 2023

We had the best experience from booking our cabin, to checking-in, to our amazing stay, and last, check-out! This was an incredibly smooth vacation with not one hiccup! The cabin was a perfect fit for my family with so much comfort and cleanliness. We enjoyed “home cooked” meals with all the amenities onsite. This was the most perfect vacation stay for my outdoorsy family, including our sweet Marley! 🐾We loved the hot tub after all the long hikes and enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful wraparound porch. We can’t wait to come back! 🥾⛰️❤️

Thieves

We loved the home and had a great time but I left 3 rings behind and was told they were not found. They were in the master bedroom on the shelf with the tv. It is sad you leave something in a house called Amen's corner and they are stolen and not returned. I would let the owner know if I knew how. The home was GREAT! Whoever stoled my rings not so much!

My friends and I had a terrific and relaxing weekend at Amen Corner. The cabin was absolutely comfortable, spacious, clean, and it was equipped with everything we needed. We had a little situation with the wi-fi and the management quickly did everything possible to address the situation. Communication with management, the check-in, and check-out process were seamless. The house is on the market, but until it sells I would definitely recommend it.
