About this house rental
Welcome to The Highline, an expansive seven-bedroom mountain home perched on Appalachian Ski Mountain, offering long-range views, comfortable gathering spaces, and an exceptional location close to Blowing Rock, Boone, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. As a brand-new vacation rental, this home is ready to impress guests seeking space, scenery, and a well-located High Country retreat. Sleeping up to twenty-five guests, The Highline delivers the setting and flexibility that make group trips memorable.
The main level centers around a dramatic wall of windows overlooking the mountains, anchored by a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace and a big-screen TV. The dining area sits between the views and the kitchen, creating an easy flow for meals, conversation, and après-ski evenings. The kitchen itself is generously sized and thoughtfully equipped with granite countertops, high-end appliances including a Viking range, stainless finishes, abundant cabinetry, and an additional breakfast dining area for casual mornings. Just outside, the main deck expands the living space with covered seating, a private hot tub, and panoramic mountain scenery.
Sleeping spaces are arranged with both comfort and privacy in mind. On the main level, the primary bedroom features a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with a jetted soaking tub and a large wheelchair-accessible steam shower. A private den connected to this bedroom offers a secondary hangout zone with a drink bar, shuffleboard, darts, and a queen sleeper sofa. Also on this level are a second king bedroom and a queen bedroom—each with its own ensuite bathroom—along with a small bunk room with twin-over-twin beds.
Downstairs, guests will find a bedroom with two queen beds and a twin daybed and an ensuite bathroom, a bunk-focused bedroom offering multiple configurations (twin-over-queen, twin-over-twin, and a twin trundle) plus an arcade game, and a separate queen bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The garage-level game room adds even more entertainment with ping-pong and cornhole, and the two-car garage provides convenient covered parking and storage for gear.
Outdoor space is just as thoughtfully designed, with a level, fully fenced-in backyard—ideal for kids to play and dogs to roam safely—adding another layer of ease for group travel.
Practical features round out the experience with strong Wi-Fi, cable TV, central heating and air, a full laundry room, and dog-friendly accommodations (with an additional fee). Winter travelers should arrive in AWD or 4WD vehicles when snow is possible due to mountain road conditions.
Balancing scenic mountain surroundings with generous living space and a highly sought-after location, The Highline makes it easy for families and groups to spread out, explore the High Country, and come together in comfort at the end of each day.
