Tucked into the trees atop a mountain across from an apple orchard, this authentic log cabin has been renovated from the ground up — and it shows in every detail. Original hand-hewn logs and chinking meet crisp shiplap, wide-plank floors, and a soft sage kitchen with butcher block counters. The vaulted great room ladders up to a sleeping loft above and slides open to multiple porches below, where the mountains do the rest of the talking. Outside, a cedar barrel sauna sits just off the deck beside a cozy outdoor shower — the kind of pairing that turns a weekend into a reset. Inside, the bath is finished in custom pebble tile, floor to ceiling, with matte black fixtures and a rain head. Every system is dialed in: brand-new tankless gas water heater, mini-split heating and cooling, and a full top-to-bottom renovation behind the walls. It comes FULLY FURNISHED and ready to go. Leather seating, a real king bed in the loft, dishes in the cabinets, art on the walls. Walk in with a duffel bag and stay. What makes it rare: it's move-in ready as a second home and turnkey as a short-term rental. Gated community, mountain views, covered porch, sauna, and a setting so still you'll notice the quiet before you notice anything else. Quiet beyond quiet. Come see it. Broker Interest
At 4,200 feet in elevation, this mountain cabin is the kind of place people come to unplug for a few days and end up wishing they could stay longer. The cabin offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a loft for additional sleeping space, and a comfortable living area centered around a gas fireplace. Knotty pine tongue-and-groove walls, exposed joists with traditional wooden pegs, and large Pella windows in the living room give the home plenty of character without sacrificing comfort. A propane furnace installed just two years ago helps keep things cozy year-round. The kitchen is surprisingly functional for a cabin getaway. It's fully equipped and thoughtfully organized, right down to labeled cabinets, and has comfortably handled everything from weekend trips to full Thanksgiving dinners. Outside, you'll find a covered porch that feels like an extra living room, along with a hot tub, fire pit area, and plenty of parking. Only a handful of neighboring homes are visible, creating a sense of privacy while still offering the comfort of having neighbors nearby. Located off scenic Rich Mountain Road, the drive is part of the experience. Head one direction toward Rich Mountain and Elk Knob State Park before looping back into Boone, or continue the other way toward Tennessee for an easy day trip to Mountain City. The setting feels peaceful and removed without being inconveniently far from shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. The property has been well maintained and is currently set up as a short-term rental, making it easy to continue as an investment, personal getaway, or primary home. A few cosmetic exterior improvements, such as staining and landscaping updates, could further enhance an already inviting mountain retreat.
High above the Blue Ridge, where the air feels a little lighter and the world slows to a quieter rhythm, there’s a place where mornings begin with nothing but stillness and an endless horizon. As the first light spills over the mountains, you step into the great room with vaulted ceilings rising above you, a stone fireplace grounding the space—and before anything else, your eyes are pulled outward. Layer upon layer of blue ridgelines stretch as far as you can see, fading softly into the distance. It’s the kind of view that makes you pause… every single time. Mornings drift easily here. Coffee in hand, you move out onto the covered porch, where a second fireplace flickers on crisp days and the mountains feel just close enough to touch. By evening, that same spot becomes something entirely different—golden light settling into deep blues, a glass of wine in hand, the kind of quiet you didn’t realize you were missing. Life inside flows just as effortlessly. The kitchen opens to the living space, designed for connection without ever taking away from the view. The primary suite becomes its own retreat, where you wake up to the mountains and end the day in a spa-like bath, soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, and the feeling of being completely removed from everything else. Upstairs, guests have their own space to settle in—a loft, two bedrooms, room to relax. Downstairs, the home shifts into gathering mode. A second stone fireplace, game room, and flexible spaces create the perfect setting for long weekends, holidays, or simply time well spent. There’s space for everyone, but never a sense of crowding. And then there’s the path. Tucked just below the home, a quiet trail leads you down the mountain to a small outbuilding, once an observatory. It’s easy to imagine what it could become again.. a studio, a hideaway, a place to sit under a sky full of stars with nothing but the sound of the mountains around you. But what makes this place truly rare isn’t just the home, it’s where it lives. Sunalei Preserve was designed for those who value something different. Nearly 1,000 acres of protected land. Elevations climbing above 5,500 feet. Direct access to Elk Knob State Park just beyond your doorstep. And when you’re ready to venture out, the best of the High Country is within easy reach. Spend an afternoon in Blowing Rock, known for its boutique shopping, art galleries, and elevated dining, or explore Banner Elk, home to award-winning restaurants, cozy wine bars, and nearby skiing at Sugar Mountain Resort and Beech Mountain Resort. And just 20 minutes away, Boone offers the perfect balance of convenience and charm, with vibrant downtown streets, local shops, and a true mountain-town energy anchored by Appalachian State. Here, days are spent outdoors, and evenings often lead to High Mountain Camp (one of the highest elevation clubhouses in the eastern US) where sunsets feel bigger, conversations last longer, and time seems to stretch in the best way. There are no short-term rentals here. No revolving doors. Just a true sense of retreat.. quiet, preserved, and intentional. And after a while, you realize… it’s not just a home you’ve found. It’s a different way of living.
