The Space:

***Great Holiday Spot!***



This exquisite 3 bedroom, 3 bath mountain home truly lives up to its name…Top Notch!

 

Top of the line…When you walk into Top Notch you can immediately tell how much thought and care was put into the design of this home. The tongue and groove ceilings, light oak hardwood floors, granite countertops, custom cabinets and tasteful furnishings are all of the highest quality.  

 

Top of the mountain…Located on the top of Appalachian Ski Mountain with wide ranging 180˚ views and a gently sloping useable yard! From stunning sunrises and distant mountaintops to starry skies and the lights of Boone & Asu campus you will be amazed at the views from morning through night! The large wraparound porch is the perfect place to enjoy the cool breezes and those amazing views.  There is an outdoor dining table, plenty of seating, a gas grill and a 2-person hot tub with spectacular views!  A large grassy yard off the back porch is perfect spot for kids or pets to enjoy. This location provides easy access to Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, all just minutes away and the quiet, welcoming neighborhood with paved roads provides a great place for a peaceful walk. 

 

Top to bottom…Attention to detail. This open floor plan offers mountain views from nearly every room.  On the main level you will find the comfortable living room with stone gas log fireplace, dining area with seating for 8, open kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, and a full bathroom.  Also on this level is the spacious master suite complete with sitting area, TV, private bathroom, and access to the deck. Downstairs you will find a large tiled den with pool table, sitting area with large flatscreen TV, sleeper sofa, gas log heating system, and access to the gently sloping grassy yard. A guestroom with a queen bed and another with 4 sturdy, log twin bunk beds share a bathroom on this level.

 

Tip-top shape…Meticulously maintained! This home is locally owned and everything in it has been meticulously cared for! The owners take pride in ensuring every part of this house is impeccable for every stay!

Wonderful house with great views of the Blue Ridge Mountain

Wonderful house with great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains right from the elevated deck. Rustic furnishings with lots of leather furniture & bear-oriented decorations. Relaxing hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountains. Pool table in basement was fun during any downtime. Central to area attractions in quiet neighborhood. We really loved our stay!
