Good to know

"Hangin' with My Gnomies" is the kind of mountain cabin that feels like an exhale the moment you pull in. Hardwood floors, an open living area centered on a warm propane fireplace, and windows that pull in the trees and a nice mountain view set the tone. It's roomy without being fussy — a place where a family, or a couple of families, can settle in, cook together, and stay a while. Three finished levels give everyone their own corner. The main level is where you'll gather — living room, kitchen, and dining all flow together and open onto the deck. Head up to the private primary suite, or down to the walkout lower level, where a second living space with a wet bar and stone fireplace makes a great hangout for the kids or a nightcap for the adults. Floor by floor: - Top floor — Primary suite: king bed, private en-suite bath with a glass walk-in shower and double vanity, ceiling fan, dresser, and room-darkening shades. - Main level: open living room with a propane fireplace and a smart TV (Roku), a full kitchen with granite counters and a breakfast bar, and a dining table — all opening to the furnished mountain-view deck. Also on this level: the kids' room with two twin beds, each with a twin trundle (sleeps up to four), and a full bath with a tub/shower. - Walkout lower level: a second king bedroom with a smart TV (Roku) and a full bath (tub/shower) close by, plus a second living area with a wet bar, stone fireplace, and a queen sleeper sofa — opening out to the yard. Family-ready: with two king suites, a flexible twin room, and a queen sleeper, the home sleeps eight and works beautifully for two families or a multi-generational group. Getting comfortable: central air conditioning and propane heat keep things comfortable year-round, and a remote-controlled propane fireplace warms the main level. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms, WiFi throughout, and Roku on every TV — bring your own logins for Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and the rest. Please note: this is a three-story home and stairs are required to reach the upper and lower levels; there is no elevator.

Neighborhood

Vilas is a quiet mountain community in the Boone / Valle Crucis area of Watauga County — think trout streams, a nearby golf course, hardwood forest, and some of the best fall color in the state. You're tucked away and private, yet only minutes from downtown Boone's restaurants and shops, Appalachian State University, the historic Mast General Store, and the trailheads and overlooks of the High Country. It's a central home base with the mountains all around you.

Guest Access

All spaces are available except for locked owner's closets — feel free to enjoy the entire property, including all three levels, the deck, hot tub, and fire pit. Free parking is in the driveway.

WHERE YOU'LL STAY

Find us

A car is recommended so you can explore freely, and free parking is available in the driveway. From the cabin you're roughly 3–4 miles to Valle Crucis and the Mast Store, about 5 miles to downtown Boone and App State, and an easy drive to skiing — Appalachian Ski Mtn (~9 mi), Sugar Mountain (~13 mi), and Beech Mountain (~16 mi). Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tweetsie Railroad, and Blowing Rock are all short trips. In winter, 4WD or AWD is recommended for the higher, steeper roads.
