'Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.' ~ John Muir


'The Crest' features a scenic gentle drive to a spacious parking area that is level with the cottage, located on top of the mountain at an elevation of 3200 feet. The views are breathtaking! From your car, you are only a few steps from the covered porch. You will enter a spacious living area and are immediately surrounded by large windows with spectacular views of nature and the surrounding mountains. Unpack, light the gas fireplace and you won't want to leave!

Our 'smoke-free' and 'pet friendly' cottage is close to the historic charm of Blowing Rock and the growing college town of Boone. Yet just outside your door lie 14 acres to roam, deer and wild turkeys. On the adjoining National Forest property is Hebron Falls, with a bold stream to follow, or a huge bolder to just sit on and fish. Sound wonderful ....It is!

The front and large back covered porches are great places to enjoy the brisk mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings, with a special cup of coffee and an enjoyable book from our reading library. The surrounding sounds of nature may lull you into a restful afternoon nap.

'The Crest' is peaceful and restful, offering a sense of solitude, not isolation. You will experience a major 'change- of-pace' while you enjoy nature, get away from the rush of your work week, and feel energized and revitalized.

Sorry, but we can not guarantee that you will feel ready to return home!

    The home had everything we needed and the property outside was amazing! The dogs loved being able to explore w/o the restriction of neighbors right next door. Hiked, visited Boone & Blowing Rock and s’mores at the firepit. We did it all!

    The house was wonderful and the host was fantastic. If you’re looking for a place that’s secluded, private, and quiet, this is it. The house feels like a home away from home. It didn’t feel like it was a VBRO per se, it felt like you were a guest in someone’s home. For a larger family looking for a place that’s private where everybody has their space this would be it. Like most of the access roads in the area, most of the roads close to, and leading to the house are not paved. Zero issue if you’re coming in with an SUV or a truck but if you’re planning to visit with a sports car or a loaded up sedan, keep that in mind as there are can be lots of mud and potholes and steep dirt hills. Absolutely beautiful property and super close to one of the best restaurants in the area.- the gamekeeper - which is 2 miles away. Highly recommended if you’re staying at this property. Many thanks to the host for opening up and sharing your beautiful home to us for a short time.

    Judith takes great care of this home and it shows. Everything is thoughtfully laid out and supplied. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are supplied with space heaters, fans, black-out blinds--all the little touches that make for a comfortable stay. The views from the deck can't be beat. Short trip into Boone. Back roads to Blowing Rock were a little harder on the car but accessible. Looking forward to another stay in May when it's a bit warmer.

    We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this secluded mountain cabin. The cozy atmosphere was perfect for winter, with a lovely gas fireplace that kept the space warm and inviting. The open-concept living and kitchen area was ideal for family time, and there were plenty of sleeping spots for both adults and kids. Our children especially loved the upper loft area with its two twin beds. The cabin is stocked with extra blankets to keep everyone comfortable, and the outdoor fire pit provided a great place to enjoy the chilly evenings. One thing to note: the road leading up to the cabin is narrow and can be tricky, especially in icy conditions, so extra caution is needed. It was an adventure for us, but younger or less experienced drivers might find it a bit challenging. Overall, a peaceful, charming retreat with great amenities for a family getaway!

    We enjoyed a 2 night stay at The Crest with 4 adults and 2 kids, and everyone had a great time. The kids loved the fire pit and loft area of the house, and we all appreciated the secluded feel while still having an easy drive to town. We were there during a decent snowfall that had roads closed, but we were still able to get up the gravel road and driveway to the cabin fine with a truck and SUV equipped with just standard tires and 4WD. We'll certainly be planning a trip back!

    We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. There was plenty of room for my family of five. The yard was spacious and had a nice fire pit. We accidentally left some ear buds and they were so kind to arrange them being mailed to us. We would definitely return to this place.

    My wife and I just spent a wonderful week at the Crest. The view from back porch, morning and evening, is the highlight of each day spent there. The house is so well appointed with everything we needed to have a relaxing time with friends and family. We spent time walking around both Boone and Blowing Rock as well as challenging our aging knees at the Boone Forks Trail. Also, played golf at the Boone Golf Club. All of these were very close and yet we were far enough from the crowds in the Crest. Would definitely recommend this charming cabin.

    We spent 9 wonderful days at this beautiful home. It is very spacious and contained everything we needed. The cool temperatures revived our souls and we did not want to return to Florida. We would love to come back.
