About this cottage rental
Welcome to Spice Ridge Retreat!
Escape to this gorgeous upscale contemporary mountain cottage, perfectly nestled in the serene High Country of North Carolina. Located between Boone and Banner Elk and just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Spice Ridge Retreat offers breathtaking mountain views and peaceful tranquility in a private, gated neighborhood.
Unbeatable Location & Convenience
Both Boone and Banner Elk are less than 10 miles away, while Blowing Rock is under 12 miles. The charming village of Valle Crucis—home to the historic Mast General Store, a beautiful community park, the Watauga River, excellent shopping, and great restaurants—is also less than 10 miles from your door.
Winter sports enthusiasts will love the proximity to premier ski resorts:
- Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is only 7 miles away (skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and more).
- Beech Mountain and Appalachian Ski Mountain are about 15 miles in opposite directions.
- Hawksnest Snowtubing & Ziplines is a quick 6-mile drive right across Highway 105.
Outdoor lovers can reach Grandfather Mountain in just a few miles for world-class hiking on the Profile Trail, visits to the animal sanctuary, and the iconic Mile High Swinging Bridge. Linville Falls and Linville Caverns are within 20 miles, while Tweetsie Railroad and High Gravity Adventures (perfect for kids and families) are about 15 miles away. For fishing and riverside relaxation, the Watauga River is less than 2 miles away at the base of Spice Mountain, with miles of creeks and fishing holes to explore. The New River and Elk River are both about 15 minutes away, and Lake Watauga is less than 30 miles away.
Families visiting college students will especially appreciate that Spice Ridge Retreat sits equidistant between Appalachian State University and Lees-McRae College—a convenient 10-mile drive to each campus. It's the ideal base for homecoming, sporting events, graduations, orientations, or simply spending quality time with loved ones.
Luxury, Comfort & Tranquility
Inside, Spice Ridge Retreat delivers a true luxury mountain experience without the luxury price tag. The impressive kitchen features a large central island with bar seating beneath a coffered ceiling of reclaimed wood, custom barn-wood cabinetry, hammered-copper accents, granite countertops, and premium stainless-steel appliances. It flows seamlessly into the open great room, where plush seating surrounds a cozy wood-burning stove—perfect for relaxing after a day of mountain adventures.
The adjacent dining area features a stunning live-edge cedar banquet table with bench seating for eight, plus two more seats at the kitchen island. Large windows flood the space with natural light and frame the peaceful mountain views. Just off the great room, a comfortable screened porch with cozy furniture offers a tranquil spot to unwind and soak up the mountain scenery. You'll find a stainless grill on the adjacent open porch.
The main level includes a queen bedroom with mountain views, a bunk room (a full bottom bunk and a twin top with a built-in ladder), and a desk. A beautifully appointed full bathroom features a free-standing soaking tub, wood floors, and timeless character.
Upstairs, you'll find a spacious loft with comfortable leather seating and a large HD Smart TV—ideal for movie nights or quiet reading. The master suite offers a queen bed, an HDTV, and an elegant ensuite bathroom with heated tile floors, a frameless glass shower, and luxurious marble counters.
Peaceful Outdoor Spaces with Spectacular Views
The grounds offer relaxation and enjoyment. A stone-lined wood-burning Fire pit with ample seating enjoys sweeping mountain views. Nearby, a hand-hewn log meditation bench invites quiet moments of reflection amid the tranquil surroundings. Children will love the safe, rolling wooded grounds for play and exploration, while adults can savor the privacy and serenity. A level gravel parking area comfortably accommodates up to four vehicles.
Thoughtful Details Throughout
Every corner of Spice Ridge Retreat reflects custom craftsmanship—reclaimed-wood accents, hammered-copper touches, rustic branch designs, and unique light fixtures create a warm, upscale atmosphere that photos can't fully capture. Central heating and air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, and multiple HD Smart TVs with streaming services add modern convenience to the mountain charm. Two dogs (35 lbs or less) are welcome with your reservation, subject to prior approval and applicable fees.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This was a great cabin, it was super nice on the inside and beautiful views outside. The drive up the mountain is very steep but almost entirely paved, which makes it easier. It's still a pretty intimidating drive, 2 miles at a 45 or more angle. The internet worked great. It is very close to everything, the grocery store lowes is nearby which I highly recommend, and mountain dog coffee is close by which was very good. Overall this was a great experience and I'm glad I chose this cabin. If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet, and secluded place but with plenty of places nearby, this is it.

We love staying at this cabin! This was our second visit and it is so relaxing, clean and comfortable. The view from the screened in porch is wonderful!
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
The cabin had a lot of rustic charm and natural wood elements that were cozy and beautiful. There are two living spaces that are comfortable. The hot water was plentiful (keep in mind only one shower) and the view is unbeatable. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the beauty for us. The kitchen was well-stocked but the counter height was at least 40”, possibly higher. It was virtually impossible for me as a 5’1” woman to cook on the stove or even do the dishes in the sink comfortably. The bathroom counters were also well above standard height and only one stool in the property, below the microwave which was also up super high. The listing states there is a washer and a dryer, but there is actually only one *tiny* washer/dryer combo that you may see in an RV. If I had known this, I would never have booked the cabin. We came to snow ski and planned to do laundry every couple of days. We could barely fit an outfit for each our family pet load in the washer/dryer that took a minimum of 3 hours per cycle and still needed to be dried longer. One towel per person was provided for our stay of 6 nights and obviously washing the towels was another hurdle since the washer/dryer would not even fit all six bath towels in one load.

Great home with a fully stocked kitchen and all the essentials. The views were beautiful, and the fireplace created wonderful family memories. The location was ideal—close to hiking, restaurants, and shopping. We would absolutely stay here again.
