Situated in the heart of the mountains just minutes from Boone and Blowing Rock you'll find Paws A While, a beautiful 6 bedroom home with room for up to 16! There's space for everyone to relax here, and this updated home offers everything you could want: A semi-flat yard, firepit, beautiful mountain views, spacious decks, a hot tub, firepit, and so much more! As its name suggests, Paws A While is a great place for you and your four-legged family members to enjoy together.

The main level offers a great room with vaulted ceilings, a stacked stone gas fireplace, hardwood floors, tongue-in-groove ceilings, a Smart HDTV with a premium dish network with 300 channels as well as streaming, and a charming bear mural painted on one wall. The dining table seats up to 10 with room for 4 more at the kitchen island. The kitchen is nicely updated with granite counters and stainless appliances including a gas stove. Downstairs is a second living area with a pool table and another Smart HDTV, providing a great space for kids of all ages to have fun.

With six bedrooms, there's plenty of great options for everyone in your group to get a perfect night's sleep. On the main level you'll find a King bedroom and Queen bedroom, and a shared bathroom. Upstairs you'll find a King bedroom, a Twin over Twin bunk bedroom next to it, and Queen over Queen bunk bedroom across the hall. These three bedrooms share a bathroom. On the lower level is the sixth bedroom with a Queen bed and bathroom, with an oversized bathtub.

Step outside and enjoy the cool mountain air from the spacious decks on the main level. The decks are level with the trees providing a fun treehouse effect. Grill out a feast on the gas grill! After a long day of hiking, soak in the hot tub, then head up the hill to the firepit and tell stories and roast marshmallows by the fire.

Paws A While is located less than a mile and a half from Highway 321, the main artery between Boone and Blowing Rock. Both charming towns are less than 10 minutes' drive away, and the Appalachian Ski Mountain is only 5 minutes away. With so much to do here you may not ever want to leave!

    Great communication with manager. Had the room we needed. It wasn't as nicely appointed as most we have stayed in.

    Very comfortable house with a great location close to the Appalachian Ski Mountain & Tweetsie Railroad. Also close to Boone and lots of great shopping and activities. We really enjoyed the large property and privacy. The campfire area was a lovely bonus!

    Paws a While was a great place for our group of 8 children and 8 adults - plenty of room for everyone to spread out and we enjoyed the common space and the nice back porch! The property managers were very helpful and everything went smoothly with check-in, check-out, etc.

    We had a group of 12 stay here, and all 4 groups were happy with this stay. Everyone had their own room, and the house is very clean. Our kids enjoyed running up to the fire pit area above the house. My parents enjoyed having their bedroom on the main level so they didn't have to climb any stairs. If we all travel together again, this is our pick.

    The home was clean and ready when we arrived. No issues with the directions and code to the door. The home had everything we needed, especially a hot tub :). We had 9 adults and 3 kids and the home had plenty of space for all of us. I would definitely stay again!

    The house was clean and had plenty of rooms. There were games available to play and a pool table on the lower floor. Two of beds dipped in the middle a bit, but the rest were fine. The location is less than 10 minutes from Appalachian ski resort, where we took lessons. Overall we had a great stay and would come back again!
