Welcome to Mountain Thyme!

Mountain Thyme, located in the Valle Crucis Community above the Watauga River, has excellent access to everything in the High Country. A short ride down the road will bring you to The Original Mast Store and Mast Store Annex, where you can shop for all your outdoor needs and get candy from the candy barrel. The riverside Valle Crucis Community Park entrance is next to the Mast Store Annex and offers flat walking trails, playgrounds, various ball fields and courts, and access to the river for fishing, wading, and floating. The park features live music on summer weekends. Downtown Boone, home to Appalachian State University, is a twenty-minute drive and boasts local dining, shopping, and breweries. Take a ride to Banner Elk, where you can enjoy wineries, local dining, and maybe a ride on the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster.

Mountain Thyme is an elegant mountain cabin with custom finishes throughout. The great room greets you with vaulted natural wood ceilings with exposed beams that carry throughout the entire home. The stacked stone fireplace is in the middle of a wall of picture windows letting in natural light and offering guests long-range mountain views. The living room furniture surrounds the gas fireplace, where guests can enjoy a show on the Smart TV. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meal, including stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, and a large island with seating for four guests. The dining table has seating for six and leads directly to the outdoor living area. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and views from the fire pit or the hot tub on the stone patio. The outdoor cabana provides a built-in grill and a covered seating area where guests can relax after a day of exploring. The second-floor family room offers an additional living space for guests to spread out, play a game of pool, or relax on the leather furniture watching a movie on the big screen TV. The family room also has a wet bar, a Juliette balcony, and a full bathroom.

This spacious cabin has four sleeping areas, including two master suites. The main level master suite has a king bed and private ensuite bathroom with double vanities, a step-in shower, and a soaking tub. Access to the stone patio off the bedroom makes for a perfect atmosphere for enjoying your morning coffee. Upstairs is a second master suite with a king bed, a Juliette balcony, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a smart TV. The Crow's Nest above the loft, accessed via a spiral staircase, serves as an additional sleeping area with a queen bed.

Additional amenities include AC, WiFi, a writing desk and sleeper sofa in the loft, a laundry room, and a dog run. The front entryway is covered, making for easy loading and unloading.

    The house had beautiful views and a great outdoor area. Comfortable beds and plenty of TVs and blankets. Our kids loved the hot tub! We made a trip into Boone and it was about a 20 minute drive. Not bad at all. Easy communication with the management company. Some things to note below, although none of these items would prevent us from staying here again. It's a beautiful home! * We've stayed in quite a few rental properties and I was a little disappointed at the lack of toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash), dishwasher detergent and trash bags. Definitely pack your own! * There were a few maintenance items which we let the owner know about - hopefully they are fixed for next time. * The insulation isn't great so be prepared to hear every noise of people walking around above/below you. Some rugs would help. It was just our family so wasn't a huge deal, but if you were with a larger group it would have been worse.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The house and location are lovely. Indoor and outdoor areas were clean when we arrived. Loved the patio area, pool table, and convenience of the dog run. We would definitely love to return and highly recommend.

    We frequent the area several times a year. I booked this place for our annual 4th holiday and was disappointed based on the reviews. The place was not as clean and well maintained as it looked online. Communication and access to the property was great.

    We had such a terrific time, the cabin did not disappoint. It was more than beautiful, very clean. The outdoor areas were immaculate. Such a beautiful home. We are so lucky, we got to stay there and make such wonderful memories! We brought our two dogs. It is very dog friendly. There are gates on the porch to keep them in the back and there is a dog run.!

    We enjoyed our stay but there are a few housekeeping things the owners should be aware of. How can I let them know without creating a bad review

    This house is very nice with great upgrades. Positives; Large privately located cabin. Huge kitchen with nice appliances Huge master suite Large deck/patio outside Pool room upstairs is great with a huge tv and reclining sofas Not so positives: There were several large bees nests under the deck and two individuals in our party got stung within 30 min of arrival. Has a nice view but it can really only be seen from upstairs or a corner on the first floor. The house felt like a new rental. No guestbook, binder with activities or “personal “ touches. The house has 2 king beds and 2 queen beds. We had 4 kids in our party and had to bring air mattress for 2. Bunk beds would have been better than 2 queen beds. One big reason we rented this cabin was the outdoor patio with grill, hot tub and pizza oven. However, you are not allowed to use the pizza oven. This should have been in the listing. This is a very nice property but the fees and nightly cost are too high. We had 2 families but the cost was still very steep.
