About this property

A Happy Roost Rustic cabin near Boone with hot tub gas fireplace

When you walk into this charming cabin you will feel transported to the pine woods. The rustic all-wood interior of A Happy Roost is warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated throughout. Both decks overlook a garden-like golf course, complete with a pond and long range views of the mountains beyond. Relax in the luxurious hot tub while enjoying the views. Enjoy your favorite beverage by the gas fire table or fire up the grill and enjoy a meal on the spacious upper deck. Take in the sunset in your rocking chair and let the stress melt away at this perfect mountain retreat.

This cabin is ideal for a family getting away or two families to share; there are two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms with a family room downstairs. There is a King bedroom on both floors. Upstairs there is a King Master suite with a private bathroom, and across the hall is a Queen bedroom with adjoining bathroom that also opens onto the hallway. With two king beds, a queen, two twins and a TV in every room you will be comfortable when it is time to retire for the night. Bring your favorite DVDs - each bedroom can play them. There is a Blu-ray on the big screen downstairs.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with cooking and serving wares. Enjoy the view while you prepare your meals.

Send the kids below to explore the PlayStation 3 on the 51" HDTV in the family room while the adults watch the 55" LED HDTV upstairs in the living room. Check out the reclining-seat leather sofas both upstairs and down.

Want to play a game? You will find a carrom set, a card table with cards and poker chips, and a corn-hole game stored in the laundry room. Bring a board game for some family time. The PlayStation is loaded with games for little kids, big kids, and adults. It is also internet-enabled so you can access your games in the cloud. Grab a controller, set the recliner, and enjoy.

It's time to go out and play! Conveniently located in Valle Crucis just 8 minutes from the historic Mast General store and the riverside community park, 10 minutes from Boone shopping and dining, 15 minutes from ASU, and a short drive from Tweetsie Railroad, the town of Blowing Rock, the four major winter resorts, and Grandfather Mountain. You are sure to love everything about A Happy Roost! Welcome! Make this your home away from home!

Great Getaway!

We stayed at a happy roost for a few days! It was very nice and was even better than the photos. We brought 4 medium-large dogs and the house was plenty big for them plus 6 adults and a baby! We liked that the house was divided in levels so that the baby could sleep while the adults and dogs hung out upstairs! The hot tub was a major plus as well! Great location! Would love to stay here again!

Great weekend getaway for the family

The cabin was exactly as advertised and the perfect spot for a weekend getaway with the family. Quiet but close to everything you need, the location is great. 25 mins from Grandfather Mountain and 15 mins from downtown Boone. Not really equipped well for cooking dinner but enough pans, etc for making breakfast. Hot tub was clean and fit the whole family. Would definitely stay here again!!
