Good to know

Welcome to Rested Traveler — a brand new luxury log cabin perched at over 4,000 feet on Appalachian Ski Mountain, where jaw-dropping long-range mountain views, resort-style amenities, and an unbeatable location come together to deliver the ultimate High Country group getaway. Built in 2022 and sleeping up to 13 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, this is not your average mountain cabin. This is mountain living at its absolute finest. Step into the main level Great Room and prepare to be wowed. Exposed bark log beams, soaring vaulted ceilings, a stunning stone gas fireplace, a circular sofa, and a dramatic wall of windows framing layered long-range mountain views create a living space unlike anything you have ever stayed in. The chef's kitchen is equally impressive — granite countertops, a large island, gas range, double ovens, double microwaves, wine cooler, and stainless steel appliances make cooking for the whole group a genuine pleasure. The king primary suite on this level offers a tiled walk-in shower, deck access, spacious closet, and private flat-screen TV. Head downstairs and the fun truly begins. A dedicated game room with a pool table, Golden Tee golf arcade, and TV keeps the competitive spirit alive all evening long. A private movie room with plush leather recliners and a massive screen is perfect for movie nights after a big day on the mountain. A queen suite with private full bath completes the lower level. One floor up, a queen bedroom with private Juliet balcony and flat-screen TV offers a romantic and serene retreat, while the bunk room with two twin-over-twin bunk beds is perfect for kids and groups. A spacious shared bathroom features a soaking tub, tiled shower, and double granite vanities. Behind the primary suite, an oversized second Great Room with vaulted ceilings, leather sectional, fireplace, massive TV, wet bar, and half bath adds an entire additional dimension of entertaining space that sets Rested Traveler apart from every other mountain rental in the area. Outside, fire up the grill and then sink into the 8-person Bullfrog Spas hot tub under a sky full of stars — the perfect ending to every single day at Rested Traveler. **Good to Know** Two driveways on site — use the level gravel driveway with iron gate during winter months as the steep paved driveway closes November through March.

Neighborhood

Rested Traveler is perfectly positioned in one of the most coveted corridors in all of the High Country — nestled between Boone and Blowing Rock on the slopes of Appalachian Ski Mountain, where breathtaking year-round mountain views, fresh mountain air, and an unbeatable mix of adventure and charm surround you in every direction. The neighborhood along Ski Acres Drive is quiet, residential, and beautifully wooded — a serene mountain setting where privacy and natural beauty come standard. Yet despite the peaceful surroundings, everything you could want from a High Country vacation is just minutes away. Appalachian Ski Mountain is right at your doorstep — the High Country's original ski area since 1962, offering skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and lessons for all skill levels. In summer the mountain transforms into a fantastic base for hiking, exploring, and taking in the scenery. Just 10 minutes away, the iconic village of Blowing Rock is one of North Carolina's most beloved destinations — charming boutique shops, outstanding restaurants, the famous Blowing Rock attraction, and a small-town energy that is impossible not to fall in love with. Boone, less than 20 minutes away, adds even more to the mix — craft breweries, live music, farmers markets, and a vibrant downtown scene anchored by Appalachian State University. And Tweetsie Railroad, the beloved Wild West theme park, is just down the road for a fun family adventure. This is the High Country at its very best.
