3 Bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 Levels, Expansive Deck, Pool Table

Welcome to Blue Moon Lodge*, a Boone area log cabin, perched high atop a hill with beautiful long-range views. Best of all, you are just 10 minutes from historic downtown Boone, Appalachian State University and Valle Crucis. Sugar Mountain and Appalachian Ski Mtn are only 30 minutes away.

We love to host family vacations, birthdays, anniversaries, romantic get-a-ways, girls-weekends and ASU parents visiting students

*(If your group is larger, consider also renting Starry Nights Lodge just down the hill ! See: Vrbo 444251)

This Tahoe style house has lots of room to spread out. There are two levels of indoor living space and a large wrap-around deck. The main level of the house features an open floor plan with dining and living areas and a fully equipped kitchen that seats ten. One wall contains large, two-story windows looking out to the valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. On the deck, you will find log chairs, custom rockers, picnic table and an outdoor grill. Just off the deck, sits our 3-man hot tub to enjoy the stars. And of course, a mountain firepit awaits to roast marshmallows.

Back inside, the first level is assembled in an Arts and Crafts style, with hardwood flooring and natural finished tongue-and-groove paneling in the cathedral ceiling.

The living area contains a stacked-stone fireplace with gas logs, leather sofas and armchairs, a 37" Roku smart TV, and an impressive Proline billiard table. Beyond the living area is the master bedroom with with it's own romantic gas fireplace and deck. Two windows set into warmly paneled walls, a king bed piled with pillows, and a master bath with shower and jetted jacuzzi tub.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. They share a shared Jack-and-Jill bath with shower & tub.

Blue Moon Lodge offers something for everyone in the family, with mountain views, billiard table and more, all in a lovely setting that is peaceful and still convenient to area attractions and events. *This property was formerly known at Mockingbird Mountain.

Excellent stay! Beautiful property with beautiful views. Two full days of snow added to the enjoyment. The property owner was friendly and gracious. The only suggestions would be to replace the rocker recliner or repair its springs as it lays back much too far and somehow relocate the TV so it can be seen from all areas of the den.

We had a wonderful time while staying at the Blue Moon Lodge. The owner was very communicative & made sure we had everything we needed for a cozy stay. Loved the natural light coming from the windows & enjoyed scenic views from inside or from the large outdoor deck. Our family played several rounds of pool & made use of the hot tub too. The house was very clean & the beds were comfy too. The lot provided privacy & we felt safe. Easily made the drive to Boone & Blowing Rock a few times while in town. Thanks so much for this much needed family time! It was just what we needed!

This place is just incredible. Between the breathtaking views, the pool table, the hot tub, the porch with rockers where we read our books, the grill where we made amazing steaks, and closet full of games we could have never left the cabin! We did venture out to Hawksnest though where we spent part of the day snow tubing! What a great escape. Our Blue Moon hosts were so fantastic in making sure our stay was perfect!
