About this cottage rental
Welcome to Appalachian Ski Mountain Chalet!
Appalachian Ski Mountain Chalet is a charming, nicely updated 3BR/2.5BA mountain cottage only a few hundred yards from the ski slopes of Appalachian Ski Mountain. Located a couple of miles from downtown Blowing Rock and a couple of miles from Tweetsie Railroad, Appalachian Ski Mountain Chalet is about 6 miles from Boone and around 20 miles from Banner Elk. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zip Lines are both only about 18 miles away. Beech Mountain Ski Resort is less than 25 miles away. Grandfather Mountain, Lake Watauga, and lots of other mountain attractions are close by.
The main level of Appalachian Ski Mountain Chalet offers an open floorplan with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, an updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a nice six-person dining table. At the back end of the main level looking out at the mountains is the living room with leather furniture, a gas fireplace, and an HDTV. There is a nice deck with an outdoor dining table and charcoal grill with long-range mountain views. A half bathroom services these parts of the main level. The King Master Suite, featuring cathedral ceilings, mountain views, an HDTV, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with an oversized step-in shower, is also on the main level.
At the foot of the stairs to the lower level is the den with a round card table which transforms into a bumper pool table. Also in the den is an HDTV, a full-sized futon sleeper, and comfy seating. There is a glass door out to the lower rear deck which offers nice mountain views. A central full bathroom with tub and shower services the two queen bedrooms and the den on the lower level.
Central heating and air conditioning, wireless internet, and digital cable TV programming on all 4 HDTVs are features at Appalachian Ski Mountain Chalet. The house is equipped with a washer and dryer. Steps beside the house lead to a private landing and a wood-burning fire pit with outdoor seating surrounded by mature woods. During ski season walk a few hundred yards to the ice skating rink and ski slopes of Appalachian Ski Mountain.

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2025
tried to walk to App Ski mountain on a dangerous curvy, two lane road with no path, and cars speeding by. It is next to the ski slopes if you go across someone elses property up a cliff and through woods across the street. Also, very low water pressure for showers. Very clean and comfortable. Good furnishings. Creaky beds. small driveway was a hill and very difficult to navigate and dangerous at the end (dont fall off the cliff) . cannot fit more than two cars safely.

The house inside and out is beautiful. In a great location. Ultra clean! There is terrible water pressure in the showers. You can’t use the sink or flush if someone is taking a shower. A handheld in the shower that lets you adjust water pressure would be great. The beds are loud and sound crunchy every time you move. The deck furniture needs replaced as was mentioned in a review from 2019. The paint on the front porch and both back decks is peeling really bad. Property is advertised as having cable TV and we specifically asked if it had cable TV and not Roku prior to booking. The host confirmed it was paid cable TV as noted in the listing. It doesn’t have cable TV. It’s Peacock via Roku. The listing states you may need to provide your driver license at check in. But after we had booked, we were told we had to email them a picture of me holding my driver license in order to get the door code. We would not do that due to security concerns. This was several calls, texts and emails to get addressed. This requirement needs to be stated clearly in the listing. Regardless of the reason this requirement to send over email was not in the listing. The pictures of the views are not accurate for summer. The trees are grown in so you only get those views from the living room in the summer and it is a beautiful view. The property mgt company is very good to respond. The kitchen is well stocked. No hair dryer is provided. The speaker in the living room doesn’t work.

Beautiful views, clean and very convenient to all our activities (Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show). Great stay!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2019
The positives: each room served its basic purpose well, the property was clean, mattresses were comfortable. View was beautiful. Parking was ample but half of it was below the ice patch (see below). Very convenient to the ski resort - 1/4 mile away, but not safely walkable as advertised as there is no shoulder on road. We would stay again but would be prepared for negatives below as well as possible.
The negatives: big safety concern - the drive was covered with 1” thick smooth ice which brought several of us to our knees before getting to the entry (before we attempted the trip with luggage). There was no shovel, ice pick, or salt available and the rental company said they would not salt the driveway due to environmental concerns and told us the weather would be warming in a couple of days. The owners need to pave this small area. Other negatives: there is one thermostat for both levels - downstairs stayed very cold to prevent upstairs from overheating; no ESPN ( or other common cable channels) - we had to use our own laptop and hdmi cable to stream the App State bowl game
