Why You’ll Love Alpine Ridge
Spacious Comfort
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.

Pet-Friendly
We know your furry friends are part of the family! Bring up to 2 dogs for a flat-rate pet fee of $150 (non-refundable).

The Space
Living Room
Unwind in a cozy mountain retreat complete with a fireplace for chilly evenings, a 55” Smart TV for entertainment, and direct access to the deck where you can soak in the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. If the deck is too cold for you just enjoy the outside with the large picture window.

Family High Country Getaway

This house and the location were a perfect choice for my family to getaway for a few days and enjoy the NC mountains. My wife, two adult daughters/husbands and 2 grandchildren (and Miniature Golden Doodle) stayed at Alpine Ridge of Boone and enjoyed the Mass General Store, Linville Caverns, Wiseman's View, Tweetsie RR, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and Boone. We enjoyed eating at Dan'l Boone Inn, The Peddlin' Pig, Mellow Mushroom and The Viscous Biscuit. This location was great and the amenities were great. The kitchen was well stocked, toiletries, cleaning supplies, snacks and a great coffee station were an added plus. The game room is impressive and there was plenty of room for our family. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. Great house - we will reserve this house again in the future.

Family event in town

House is great! Well-stocked kitchen & baths. Tucked away, but still close to town. Seasonal decor changes definitely make it “homey” which means owners truly want guests to feel like it’s not “just a rental.”

Best girls weekend

We had our first annual girls weekend and this property could not have been better! The kids had so much fun in the game room, we all slept like babies, saw deer in the yard, and made the best memories! Keson was great with communication and we will definitely be staying in the future. The house was clean and they definitely want you to enjoy your stay with the amenities.It is also in a great location, close to everything but you also feel like you have your own little slice of heaven.
