About this property

Aussies Lookout - Panoramic Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Pool Table!

You are sure to love everything about Aussies Lookout (formerly Aussies Den), a beautiful, recently renovated and modernized mountaintop escape with breathtaking panoramic mountain views visible from nearly every room in the house.

The open concept, bright and airy great room on the main level has a wall of windows overlooking stunning views. Brand new, cozy furniture is arranged around a stone, wood burning fireplace and a large Smart TV. One corner holds a dining table with two benches on either side, and the opposite corner has a full kitchen with updated granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. Off the great room is a half bath with a laundry closet.

The large master suite on the main floor has a new premium King bed, 55” Smart TV, and a private full bathroom with double granite vanities and an oversized walk in closet. The main level fully gated deck has a picnic table, gas grill, as well as Adirondack rocking chairs and loungers to take in the mountainscapes.

Downstairs is a second living area and game room with a pool table, comfortable queen pull-out sofa and 75” TV with premium sound system and Bluetooth connectivity to enjoy your favorite shows, movies or music. There are two elegant, oversized King bedrooms with plenty of closet space and brand new Smart TVs. One of the bedrooms has a desk and monitor to set up your perfect work space. There is also a full updated bath with combination tub & shower, and the lower gated deck has a four-person hot tub as well as more seating to take in the views and watch deer grazing in the yard.

Aussies Lookout is perfectly located in a beautiful neighborhood, atop Appalachian Ski Mountain, straddling both Boone and Blowing Rock and close to every High Country attraction. Don't think twice - this house has everything you need and more and is sure to become your home away from home.

The home was beautiful. Looks just like the pictures in the website.

The location was great. The views were amazing. The home was stocked with essential items needed as far as kitchen and bedding. The owners did an awesome job with attention to detail on the decor. The home felt warm and cozy. We were here for my son’s graduation from Appalachian State but we will be back for a vacation.

Perfect house in a perfect location!

We rented this house for three adult couples over Thanksgiving. The house is in a great location—in the mountains but close enough that it’s very convenient to run in to town for groceries, have lunch, etc. Great furnishings, layout and amenities. My only negative comment is that it’s a little nosy in the downstairs bedrooms if people are walking around on the first floor. Otherwise, it is just perfect!

Work/ski trip

The house was amazing and accommodating to everyone in our party-even the dog! The view is absolutely one of the best we have seen while staying in Boone! The house is very well taken care of and we had everything we needed! We were traveling for work and mixed it with some skiing which was a perfect location! I will say it does need to be noted in description in case of snow and ice, driveway is not accessible even with four wheel drive! We had to park at bottom and walk up to house several days! Other than that this house is amazing!

Birthday trip

Our stay at Aussie's Den was great! The view was exceptional, the house beautiful and sparkling clean. Amenties were very helpful. Not sure, this is listed, but the kind of coffee pot would be helpful. We stopped at grocery before arriving, bought K cups. My bad! Just sayin...if there is poop in the yard, was not ours. Saw neighbor let his dog use this yard!! Great grill. Comfortable beds. It is a little noisey downstairs. The hot tub was the cleanest I have ever seen!

Amazing view, beautiful and clean home!

My family of four and my parents spent a long weekend at Aussies Den. The house is very nice and very clean. We spent a lot of time in Blowing Rock and Boone doing various activities with the family but when we were at the house, we were outside enjoying the amazing view. There is plenty of comfortable seating on both porches and the views are simply amazing. We cooked most meals inside and the kitchen is very well equipped. Plenty of pots, pans, utensils and gadgets. The only complaint I have is the shower liner in the downstairs bathroom needs to be replaced, it is very, very dirty, but it's an easy fix. We will certainly try to stay here again for our next visit. We didn't use the hot tub so I cannot comment on it but I'm sure it would be nice on a cool evening.

Amazing property, views, and location!

Our group really loved our stay at Aussies Den. It is situated in a great neighborhood with easy access to Boone and Blowing Rock. We could not be happier with the weekend we had going to the App Sate game and visiting campus. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the high country any time of year!

Great View!

Everything was amazing, with the exception of not being adequately prepared with snow chains to get up the driveway. We made sure to have 4x4 vehicles but the driveway was just too icy for us to get all the way up. So it was very inconvenient to schlep all our stuff up to cabin by foot and then quite dangerous to go back down on checkout day. Please make sure to have snow chains PLUS 4x4 vehicle to access this property in winter. We also could have used an extra trash bin since the garbage had not been picked up, along with a decent snow shovel to clean off porch and entryways for safety. I advise to take full advantage of shopping service and firewood service if you go in the winter. We regret not doing so. That being said, it’s an absolutely spectacular view and great cabin. Our family enjoyed the time we had together despite all the extra work we had to put in getting in and out. Our dog Tank also had a blast playing in the beautiful snowstorm and chasing us while we sled down the treacherous driveway, which for driving was a nightmare, but for sledding it was amazing!
