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, 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. Click on this link for more info on the Greenway Trail. Also within walking distance are the ASU and town soccer fields, as well as Brookshire Park, both within walking distance, less than a mile away from Hilltop Haven.

Took 8 guys for a golf weekend and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. It had everything we needed and was very nice and clean. We come every year for a long golf weekend and will definitely stay here again.
Very spacious and comfortable! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and the views are beautiful! The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors!
Wonderful time for our group of six adults and seven children. Home and property were great; private yet very close to Boone. Great view and open area with access to trails that the kids really enjoyed! Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future!
Overall, awesome views and plenty of space. Perfectly located to get to town easily. Easy to get to and still be in the mountains. Worst part was some stained carpets and the kitchen sink was not attached to the counter and hanging.

Beautiful house in peaceful surrounding
This was a wonderful house to rent. Beautifully furnished and breathtaking views. Really enjoyed the ping pong table. We had several family tournaments there. Hot tub was wonderful too.
Second time staying at this property. Great house for our group of 13. Perfect balance of being out enough for privacy and enjoying the beauty of the mountains, while being close and convenient to Boone and all it has to offer. Already planning our next visit!
What an amazing property and location!! Only a couple miles from downtown Boone. Beautiful, well stocked, furnished “cabin”! Hiking/mountain biking trails can be accessed from the property. Property Management was responsive with excellent customer service.
Great location, close to everything yet private and secluded. The cabin itself is gorgeous with plenty of room. There was no running water in the cabin for the first 24 hrs we were there due to a bad snow storm and well pipe freezing, but the property management and maintenance teams were available and responsive 24/7 in helping us resolve everything. We will definitely be back here!
Honestly this was hands down one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. We had plenty of room for all the kids, the kitchen was stocked with pretty much everything you needed to cook with and anytime we had a question they got back to us asap. The pictures you see truly don’t do this place justice. We’re already planning our trip to come back next year!
Myself, husband, daughters/spouses, grandchildren LOVED it !! Great cabin- gorgeous views. We celebrated 4 birthdays as well as our 66 person family reunion while there in Boone! I feel like I hit the jackpot on my choice. Thank you!!!
This cabin was perfect for our family with adult children and a dog. We used the fire pit, had room for fetch with the dog, and enjoyed the best equipped kitchen we've ever had in a vacation rental. Beautiful location and a great house.
Very pleased with this property. Location was wonderful. Secluded feeling, yet close to everything. The size and lay out was perfect for our family’s needs. Would definitely book again if vacationing in that area.
We loved the spacious home, the fire pit, and the large outdoor green space for the kids to run. The cabin has been well loved, so the carpet and furnishings are a bit worn, but this actually added to the ability to really relax and enjoy our stay; not stressing about the littles playing inside. For folks traveling with families, this is a great place to stay, with plenty of room for everyone. We would choose to stay here again, very convenient to King Street (even by bus from Brookshire park) and moments away from Booneshine Brewery.
Perfect setting for our getaway with old friends. House is so clean...and beds were very comfortable. Would love to come back!! Definitely recommend to others.
3 generations of our family enjoyed our stay.
Lovely home. Kids loved ping pong tournaments against grandma and granddad.
So great to have a dining table that fit all of us.
The adults loved being able to stop in at Booneshine brewery just down the hill.
