About this house rental

Mountain Gem: A Luxurious Mountaintop Retreat Near Boone

Perched high above the Blue Ridge Mountains with breathtaking panoramic views, Mountain Gem is a newly updated, four-level, 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath estate designed for those who want it all: seclusion, space, and style. Sleeping up to 15 guests, this is the mountain getaway you've been searching for.

Arrive & Unwind
A grand entry welcomes you into soaring vaulted ceilings bathed in natural light. The modern farmhouse kitchen is fully equipped for everything from a quiet morning coffee to a feast for the whole group, featuring an island with a modern cooktop, dual drip and pod-style coffeemaker, double toaster, dishwasher, and generous counter space. Pull up a stool at the bar for a casual breakfast, or gather in the dining room with seating for six. Afterward, settle into the living room around the charming gas fireplace beneath a large mounted TV or step outside to take in sweeping mountain views from the stone patio.

Sleep in Comfort
Every bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with mounted TVs and ceiling fans. The four-level layout offers privacy and flexibility for large groups:
- Main level: King bedroom with ensuite bath vanity, plus a twin/full bunk room perfect for kids, complete with games and a mounted TV. A spa-worthy bath with a jetted tub and separate standing shower rounds out this level.
- Upper level: Two King bedrooms sharing a beautifully tiled double-vanity bath with standing shower, plus an additional twin bedroom with foosball table and jumbo Connect Four. A loft retreat above features a full, queen, and air mattress setup with its own double-vanity bath and oversized soaking tub.
- Lower level: The ultimate entertainment floor, featuring a billiards room with pool table, multiple mounted TVs, and a hall bath — the perfect place to gather after a day on the mountain.

Play & Recharge
Soak under the open mountain sky in your private hot tub. Challenge the group to pool, foosball, or Connect Four. With Boone's renowned dining, shopping, and Appalachian State University just seven minutes away, adventure is always close, but you may never want to leave.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
We experienced a few hiccups with our stay, but we are SO very impressed with how the rental management company handled our concerns. Our issues were not major & overall the property is beautiful & incredibly spacious. We would stay at this location again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2024
The house was perfect for our large group! Loved the 4 king beds & all the private baths, but also all the bath options. Worked so well for us to learn to ski for the weekend.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
We stayed at this home for a recent trip, and overall, it’s in a beautiful location with a lovely yard and plenty of space in the bedrooms — we truly appreciated that. It was a comfortable stay in many ways, and communication with the hosts was prompt and courteous.That said, there were some maintenance and safety concerns that unfortunately weren’t addressed, even after multiple assurances they would be. Before arriving, I was told the driveway and walkway would be cleared due to traveling with elderly guests, but it wasn’t done, and I ended up shoveling, salting, and deicing it myself. There was also a broken hot water faucet in the upstairs shower, which made it unusable, and another shower that had only a trickle of water. Additionally, the dishwasher came loose from under the counter. While the hosts responded quickly to messages, none of these issues were ever resolved during our stay. They did however refund one nights stay afterwards
