Welcome to Hilltop Haven!

Hilltop Haven is a spacious 4BR, 3.5BA mountain lodge in Boone, only 2 miles to downtown, and convenient to all the High Country offers! Blowing Rock is 9 miles to the south, Banner Elk is less than 20 miles to the west. Valle Crucis is only about 11 miles away. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad are both about 7 miles away. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Hawksnest Snow Tubing & Ziplines are both less than 18 miles away, and Beech Mountain Ski Resort is only 26 miles away. Grandfather Mountain is about 22 miles away. The Watauga and New Rivers are close by, and Watauga Lake is not far away. Linville Falls and Linville Caverns are both about 30 miles away.  

Situated on a large, grassy property at the end of a quiet, mountain road, Hilltop Haven feels remote as you look out at the mountain views in every direction. However, look down at the Brookshire Park and soccer fields, you know how close you are to the heart of town, and that downtown Boone and the Appalachian State University campus are just a couple miles away. Most of the property is level and grassy, bordered by mature trees, pastures, and meadows, an ideal place for children and dogs to run and play. There is a wood-burning fire pit on the grounds, a picnic table for guests to enjoy, plenty of parking, and a one-car garage for added convenience.

The main level offers a central great room with soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, wide pine plank walls, and hardwood floors. Leather sofas and armchairs are situated around a floor-to-ceiling, stacked stone, gas log fireplace, a huge HDTV, and windows that reveal mountain views. The kitchen is huge, with custom, shaker-style cabinets, a large double-bay under-mount stainless sink, granite counters, and stainless appliances. There is a pass-through to the Dining Room which provides a granite counter/bar top with additional barstool seating for 4 guests, and a central round dining table that seats 8 more. A half bathroom is conveniently located near the foyer and great room. The rear deck stretches the length of the house and offers a covered area outside of the dining room with a gas grill and an outdoor dining table and chairs. The deck is otherwise open-air with Adirondack style chairs and gliders, and a nice hot tub.

The primary master suite is on the main level, with a king bed and glass doors to the rear deck offering direct access to the hot tub. The custom King bed was crafted locally, and is a one-of-a-kind, timber bed with a reclaimed barn wood headboard, and is flanked by bedside tables handmade to match. There is an HDTV atop the dresser, a walk-in closet, and a private ensuite bathroom with double vanity, and a tub/shower combo.

The upstairs has a central full bathroom with a double-sink vanity and tub/shower combo serving both upstairs bedrooms. One bedroom has a king bed and a chair which opens up to an additional twin sleeper. Across the hall, the other bedroom has a custom-made, log queen-sized bed, as well as a twin day bed and pull-out twin trundle bed. Both bedrooms have an HDTV and enjoy mountain views.

Downstairs has a cool sitting area with a round table for playing games and cards or assembling puzzles. There is a beautiful shuffleboard game table, and in the adjacent attached garage is a ping pong table that guests are welcome to use. There is a cozy den and media room with a wall-mounted HDTV and comfy furniture, including a full sleeper sofa for additional sleeping options. This makes for a great "extra sleeping room" for children or teens! Beside the den is the bunk bedroom which features custom log furniture and tongue-and-groove ceilings. The bunk bedroom has a queen bed as well as a twin-over-twin bunk bed. Adjacent to the bunk bedroom are both a laundry room and a full bathroom with a shower. 

There is a walking trail from the rear of the property which leads to the Greenway Trail, one of Boone's finest features. The Greenway Trail offers miles of walking, running, cycling, and light hiking to all. The trail from Hilltop Haven to the Greenway is about 0.4-mile and is an easy stroll.
