About this property

Panoramic & Unparalleled Blue Ridge Mountain Views!

Relax and rejuvenate at Kilkelly's West Wing Cabin! We are blessed to live in an especially beautiful part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, perched high on a finger ridge of the Eastern Continental Divide. With safe, paved road year-around access, we are just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at the Bamboo Gap entrance, and only minutes from Boone and Blowing Rock. Yet we enjoy total privacy and unsurpassed panoramic views. There are no city lights, so the stars are magnificent. And with no nearby highways or traffic noise, we are able to enjoy the orchestral sounds of nature. As we are very grateful for being able to share this beauty with others, our goal is to provide a unique vacation destination, centered around the serenity and majesty of the oldest mountain range on our continent.

You will be surrounded by gorgeous mountain views from our 22-acre ridge of gardens, woodland and fields. You will be welcomed with warmth and special amenities - and pampered by luxurious furnishings. About 3 years ago, we opened our West Wing Cabin -- a luxurious and totally private and independent, 2-bedroom/2-bath condo done in a Adirondack style. It is sound-separated from the Main House by double exterior walls and doors. And it was designed at an angle from the Main House to ensure visual privacy. It is also out of sight or sound of our other vacation rental, The Original Cabin, which is further down our ridge. The 'West Wing' is 1800 square feet, two stories, with a king bedroom suite on each floor. It has its own private drive, its own parking area, three private entrances, its own front porch, rear patio, and corner-wrapped deck -- all with tables, swings, and comfortable seating. The Wing has , a dedicated heating/AC system and satellite TV system; a private foyer, living room, kitchen, pantry, and billiard/game room. And best of all -- it has its own breathtaking, panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, valleys, sunrises, and sunsets.

*Please note that as of 2020 we do not have a hot tub. We recognize there are a few customer photos on google that we cannot remove that show a hot tub, but due to Covid19 and new extensive cleaning procedures we took it out and replaced it with fully stocked fire pit. Thank you for your understanding. :)

We encourage you to check out our guest reviews, some of which have been submitted directly to VRBO and the remainder taken directly from our Guest Book (which are unedited and include ALL guest reviews and comments).

There are flowering trees, beautiful landscaping, and seasonal vegetable gardens. We have outdoor play areas and play equipment, a horse shoe pit, a fire pit, a 45-foot rope swing, and nearby streams.

It's a perfect place to experience dramatic weather changes and cloud formations, above you and below. And at night, it's a star gazer's dream! And we have another little gift from Mother Nature: WE'VE NEVER HAD MOSQUITOES! All patios and decks are open to nature.

Our goal is to share this remarkable natural setting with our guests by providing private, warm and luxurious accommodations, and a memorable visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

WE WELCOME YOU to the WEST WING!
Your Innkeepers,
Joanie and Gary Kilkelly

Great stay for our special day!

My wife and I booked the west wing for our wedding ceremony and to stay for a couple of days after our wedding. This place was exceptional! Gary and Joanie are the sweetest couple and so accommodating! We arrived to fresh eggs from their chickens and a sweet note with an aloe plant as a gift for our wedding. The grounds and view were exceptional and were the perfect back drop for our special day.They made sure we had all we needed for our ceremony. I absolutely recommend and will be returning for our anniversaries!

Beautiful mountain getaway

The first thing that impressed us about the property is the beautiful view from all sides. Its location was perfect for access to Boone and Appalachian ski mountain. The property owners were awesome and very helpful with questions that we had during our stay. It was a perfect vacation for my wife and I and our two teenage boys.

If you stay here - This will be your home away from home! The Kilkelly's literally want to make you feel like you are home! They have not missed anything! Beautiful home, breathtaking view and amazing people! We enjoyed our little getaway before my daughters go back to college. We were sad to leave, and you will be, too! We are already planning our return trip!

Lovely space with a beautiful view

My family of 4 enjoyed our week long stay here. The view is amazing and the space was cozy. The heater worked great, beds were comfy and it had all the kitchen appliances and utensils that we needed. It is 10 minutes from anything you might need, and it was only 20 minutes to Appalachian Ski Mtn where we spent most of our days. We would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed in both of the Kilkelly's cabins and have had a wonderful stay both times! They are the "BEST" hosts you could ask for. Always going the extra mile to make our stay great! All of our questions are answered immediately! We will continue to book their cabins! Could't ask for better accomodations and hosts!

Immaculate

The Kilkelly family provided such a warm, cozy home away from home with the most beautiful views. The property itself was spotless; the towels smelled like they had just been washed. Everything about this place was perfect. It was very private, yet close to town (about 15 minutes). The hosts stocked this home with everything we needed - silverware, pots, pans, soap, etc. Things were labeled very neatly. We could not rate this place any higher - it was perfect all the way around. We definitely will come back here again.

Great Stay, Amazing views

Wife and I went and planned on doing some activities in the area, however the views and property were so peaceful we spent most of the trip relaxing and taking in the mountain views. Can't beat fresh eggs from the hens on the property, and a fire at night to star gaze from.

Very relaxing. We didn't want to leave the property as it was everything that we could possibly dream of. The owners, Gary and Joanie had thought of everything and the property was absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful place to hang out with good friends and enjoy all that the High Country offers. Fresh eggs for breakfast, gourmet kitchen with high end appliances and every kitchen gadget needed to make memorable meals to enjoy while soaking in the breathtaking view. We will return again and again!

Joanie and Gary are the most amazing hosts and their mountain top property is Nature's Paradise!! When you read their description there is no doubt how much love has went into making their whole property welcoming and enjoyable for all who have the pleasure of visiting. You are minutes from Boone and/or Blowing Rock and all of their wonderful restaurants and attractions. The Blue Ridge Parkway is so close it is visible from the front porch of the West Wing. There are numerous overlooks, waterfalls and trails to explore whether you go North or South on the parkway. Our visit was on a rainy, overcast and foggy weekend. The weather was determined to make our trip a disaster. Not in this paradise!! It was the absolute best, most relaxing trip we have taken to our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains! We have found our Home away from Home!! There is a reason for all the 5 🌟's, this is truly a little slice of Heaven on earth!! Many thanks to Joanie and Gary for being such gracious hosts!! We left with pure joy in our hearts!! We are already looking forward to our next trip!!

West wing wonder

We booked based on the views from the property and they were even more magnificent in person. The Kilkelly’s have found the perfect balance of welcoming and allowing for privacy. The home is prepared as if for their best friends to stay a while. The house allows for views of both sunrise and sunset and the pool table and board/word games allowed meaningful time with our high school and college children. Boone and Blowing rock are an easy 15 min drive away and the Blue Ridge Parkway is less than a mile away. Hoping to go back soon!

Words can't describe what a perfect retreat this is! We enjoyed walking around the property and also loved all the bird watching from the windows from our stay in the West Wing!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

We went for a short winter getaway so that our 17 yr old daughter could experience snowing skiing. Needless to say, she caught on very quickly and is in love with it. This property has breathtaking views. The accommodations were everything and more. Short distance to the sloops and to Boone. I highly recommend you considering the West Wing or Cabin for your next mountain trip. We will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Joanie & Gary Kilkelly

Host profile image
Enhancing and maintaining this unusually beautiful place is one of our greatest passions -- sharing it with others is another. Our ability to achieve our goal is best reflected by the REVIEWS of our guests. Guests' reviews are either submitted directly to VRBO or taken directly from our Guest Book, fully and accurately quoted, and include the reviews by ALL of our guests. In addition, all photos shown here are genuine and taken from the 'West Wing'.

Why they chose this property

In 2009 we built 'The Cabin at Kilkellys', further down our finger ridge, several hundred yards from the Main House and West Wing. Because of its popularity, in 2011 we decided to open our West Wing condo. Like the Cabin, the West Wing is private and upscale, and shares the same spectacular views. So with this addition, we are continuing our journey, meeting wonderful people along the way. And it remains our goal to provide the most unique, highest quality, and relaxing vacation destination in the Blue Ridge Mountains!

What makes this property unique

In addition to the panoramic views, the West Wing itself is a unique rental property. It is a fully furnished two-story condo with warm and upscale characteristics of a B&B. But because it offers so much more, we feel it's better categorized as a luxury condo that's attached to, but private from, our Main House. We ONLY rent the West Wing in its entirety, to one set of guests at a time. The guests or guest party simply decide if they need one or two master suites, and only pay for what they need.
