With over 2,200 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space spread across two stories, Alpine Ridge invites you to relax in style. Take in breathtaking mountain views from the expansive deck, cozy up in the living room by the fireplace, or enjoy retro gaming fun in the game room with Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Sega classics.

The Space
Living Room

The place was just as advertised and was a wonderful mountain retreat for our family of four during our spring break trip. Lots of space and thoughtful touches to amenities, decor, and living spaces. We enjoyed the game room and just hanging around in the common areas. Great proximity to Boone, Blowing Rock, and lots of mountain hikes along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had a couple messages back and forth with the host and they were very quick to respond and answer all my questions. Overall a great experience and we would book with them again if we decide to do another mountain vacation in the future!

Loved our stay here! Lots of attention to the details. The rental was very clean, cozy, well stocked, and had a great family room with some games, puzzles, air hockey table, etc. Great coffee bar! Fire pit and hot tub outside. Lots to do at the rental as well as being located close to everything. I do recommend arriving in the daylight since the one way roadway is narrow. As a flat-lander, it was challenging to negotiate in the dark for the first time. Once we got to see it in the day, it was much easier.

Beautiful mountain view from an old mountain home turned chic vacation home... so much attention to detail! Very cute decor and great layout for a large family and very kid friendly (ours range from 2-12). Our kids enjoyed both game rooms and we all spent a lot of time playing together in the garage. Thank you for stocking up great board games too! Kids also enjoyed exploring the woods around the house, swinging in the hammocks, and grown ups enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. Great location with proximity to nearby towns of Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk. The drive way is steep, so don't be scared and be sure to keep momentum! After our first time up we got the hang of it. Everyone agreed that if we come back this way, we would all want to stay at this home again! Thank you so much!

We had a great time during our visit! The house is very cozy and provides a lot of entertainment for all ages. The game room provided endless fun for my neices (and surprisingly for the adults as well). The views are incredible and the layout of the living room allows for amazing views even during the cold. The beds were comfortable and we always felt well rested. The house itself is very close to the main area of Boone so you are within miles of grocery stores and things to do. I would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway.
