A Happy Roost Rustic cabin near Boone with hot tub gas fireplace

Welcome to A Happy Roost!

When you walk into this charming cabin you will feel transported to the pine woods. The rustic all-wood interior of A Happy Roost is warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated throughout. Both decks overlook a garden-like golf course, complete with a pond and long range views of the mountains beyond. Relax in the luxurious hot tub while enjoying the views. Enjoy your favorite beverage by the gas fire table or fire up the grill and enjoy a meal on the spacious upper deck. Take in the sunset in your rocking chair and let the stress melt away at this perfect mountain retreat.

This cabin is ideal for a family getting away or several families to share; there are two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms with a family room downstairs.

Upstairs there is the Primary King suite with a private bathroom, and across the hall is a King bedroom with adjoining bathroom that also opens onto the hallway.

The lower level has a King Bedroom, and down the hall has a Twin over Twin bunk plus a Queen bed.

When its time to settle down for the night, find comfort as each bedroom has a TV.

Movie fan? Bring your favorite DVDs – each bedroom can play them. Also, there is a Blu-ray on the big screen downstairs.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with cooking and serving wares. Enjoy the view while you prepare your meals.

Send the kids to the lower level family room to watch a show or movie on the 51” HDTV or play a few rounds of Ms. Pac Man on the video arcade game while the adults watch the 55” LED HDTV upstairs in the living room. Check out the reclining-seat leather sofas both upstairs and down.

Want to play a game? You will find a carrom set, a card table with cards and poker chips, and a corn-hole game stored in the laundry room. Bring a board game for some family time. We have cables available if you are bringing a game console so you can connect to the TV easily!

It's time to go out and play! Conveniently located in Valle Crucis just 8 minutes from the historic Mast General store and the riverside community park, 10 minutes from Boone shopping and dining, 15 minutes from ASU, and a short drive from Tweetsie Railroad, the town of Blowing Rock, the area's major winter resorts, and Grandfather Mountain.

You are sure to love everything about A Happy Roost. Welcome and enjoy your home away from home!

Great Getaway!

We stayed at a happy roost for a few days! It was very nice and was even better than the photos. We brought 4 medium-large dogs and the house was plenty big for them plus 6 adults and a baby! We liked that the house was divided in levels so that the baby could sleep while the adults and dogs hung out upstairs! The hot tub was a major plus as well! Great location! Would love to stay here again!

Nice stay

The cabin was clean and well stocked. Hot tub was nice, the beds were comfortable and the long range view of the mountains was spectacular, especially at sunset. Two pieces of feedback on the home, I was disappointed there were no rocking chairs on the porches and the chairs that were there were not reallyvcomfortable to sit in and the screen door into the main entrance stuck at the top and the screen was coming out. Very minor issues for sure! Overall we had a great trip!
