Description Description
“A Family Tradition” has three bedrooms plus one additional private sleeping area, plus a loft.

Welcome to the perfect mountain home, located just minutes away from restaurants, shopping including the historic Mast General Store, major ski areas, hiking trails, Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tweetsie Railroad and Blowing Rock.  This beautiful home sits tucked behind a hedge of mountain laurel on a cozy 1/2-acre lot in the Shore's Farm log cabin community. Enjoy quiet walks in the neighborhood, which offers spectacular mountain views.

The main level is centered around a dining area with a table that can convert from six to ten people.  Cooking becomes enjoyable with a view from the kitchen window in this fully-equipped kitchen with a gas range/oven, stainless steel refrigerator, and brand new dishwasher to keep the full set of pots and pans clean for your use!  

The spacious living room has a gas-log, two-story, stone fireplace.  The entertainment center is built around a 55” smart TV with a high fidelity soundbar for movie night or watching the big game.  Amazon FireTV sticks are connected to each TV in the house, so you can stream to those (with supported apps!) or bring your own devices for streaming - color coded remote controls even tell you which TV to connect to!  If you must get work done, the home is equipped with commercial grade wifi and networking equipment for a fast reliable connection whether working or streaming.

Wrapped all around the home is a massive deck, completely covered on two sides and open to the sky or stars on the other two.  Relax in one of the rocking chairs, sip a drink on the patio set, or gather the group together on the two finished picnic tables.  Unwind in the six person hot tub while someone else grills dinner on the gas grill.

For sleeping, the upstairs is an oversized master suite with a king size bed, 32" HDTV and a full private bathroom.   The main level has a full bathroom, one bedroom with two full size beds and another bedroom with two twin beds.    The loft area is full of books, a spectacular wood chess set and table, a comfy reading chair with ottoman plus a twin bed with trundle/pull-out underneath.

The lower level includes a mud room/entry that opens to the parking area, where you can use the 14-50 outlet to charge your EV if you need to.  Inside is the downstairs bedroom, with a king-size bed, a 32" flat panel HDTV, and new carpet.  The lower floor also has a full bathroom plus laundry with new high-efficiency washer and dryer.  The central feature of the floor is the entertainment area with a pool table, a wall mounted flat screen HDTV, and a bonus mini-refrigerator.

This home offers the best of both worlds – you will be able to enjoy High Country living while having all the comforts of home. Enjoy your favorite movie on the big screen HDTV while others are downstairs enjoying a game of pool.  Whether it is rocking on the porch while watching the sunset, leisurely surfing the web out on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub under the bright stars or hiding in the loft with your favorite book, this spacious home has a special corner for everyone.

Live, love and laugh with family and friends at A Family Tradition.

Great cabin in a great location
We had a great weekend at this cabin home. The location is great, being super convenient to Boone and Sugar Mountain. It's also really easy to get to, even in bad weather, as the streets are paved and maintained, so the snow/ice was not a problem. The house is large, with plenty of beds for a big group. It has a great wrap-around porch, nice firepit area right outside the door, a large kitchen, and a nice little pool table area in the basement. Would definitely book again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The wide, wraparound porch (part covered and part open) was delightful. We were also pleasantly surprised to see built-in gates on the porch that made it where we could watch our two medium dogs run around outside as if they were in a fenced yard and not have to worry about them getting loose and running down the steps to the yard. The hot tub on the deck was very enjoyable and easy to follow the instructions to use. We appreciated being able to spread out over 3 levels, and the pool table was a fun addition. Since 2 of our party are big hot tea drinkers, it was really nice having the electric kettle as well as a coffee pot for our coffee drinkers. Ample starting supplies for kitchen and bathrooms. We loved having the EV charger feature, since we have an electric car--so convenient! All in all, it was a great place for our party of 4 family members and 2 dogs--the dogs really loved it too! I could see us coming back!

This was our 5th year enjoying a week long vacation at A Family Tradition and we continue to enjoy it tremendously! With 3 levels this house has plenty of room for our 6 adults and our dogs. The dogs especially enjoy the wrap around deck, and we also enjoy the deck because half of it is uncovered and half of it is covered, which is great for being able to enjoy the occasional mountain shower. This year we noticed the many renovations since last year including the refinished hardwood floors, the new paint on building and decks, and a new full sized refrigerator/freezer. We look forward to staying here next year!

Amazing multi-family home with ALL the amenities!
A Family Tradition was better than we could have ever expected. The three separate floors allowed everyone to have their space and the hot tub & pool table brought us back together. The kitchen was a great space to both cook, eat and enjoy evening game time and the dogs absolutely loved spending time on the fully enclosed wraparound deck! We will definitely visit A Family Tradition again!

Great Family Time
We loved every moment of our stay in this clean, comfortable cabin. The layout was spacious, allowing the little kids, the teens, and the adults to spread out into separate areas. At the same time, the living room and the dining table are big enough for everybody to gather when we wanted to. The pool table was a big hit. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings under the starry sky, and we had a bonfire one night, too. We had planned some adventures nearby, but we were so happy and cozy in the cabin that we never left!

Great Time
My family had a great time at this cabin. Our 3- and 1-year old loved running laps around the porch while we cooked or grilled. There was plenty of room for grandparents and my two sisters. We really appreciated the location- nearly equal distance between downtown and out to adventurous hikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The kitchen is well-appointed, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub was very clean. And while the house isn't super fancy, it was the perfect choice for our family: comfortable, clean, and not full of fragile decorations or trinkets that I had to guard from my kiddos!

FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE WE HAVE DEALT WITH
We are from Sarasota, FL and had to make last minute reservations for one of the Blue Ridge rentals in order to flee hurricane Irma. The entire staff at Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals are the friendliest and most helpful people we've dealt with. The "Family Tradition" mountain home we've rented is absolutely beautiful, clean, and very tranquil! Due to the unknowns with the storm, we called the office to extend another day and they had it done immediately. We've agreed that we will be back for vacations.

Living space and kitchen were beautiful and comfortable. Weather was a perfect 70 degrees, loved the hot tub, the fire pit, the beautiful surroundings, the volume of rooms and great accommodations and our grandchild loved the wrap around covered porch that literally wore him out. Could not think of any better way to spend time. We will be back to make this our "Family Tradition".

WONDERFUL PLACE TO KICK BACK AND RELAX
What a wonderful place to kick back and relax if that's what you wanted to do. In the area, there were so many places to visit and tons of activities to check off our bucket lists. We went Horseback riding in the mountains, kayaking on the New River, hiking many times, biking in the neighborhood, fishing the Watauga River, Trout lake, Bass Lake, and the New River etc., etc., etc. !!!!! We had three generations of family ... (grandparents, children, grandchildren), from around the country ... ( Buffalo / Niagara Falls, NY., Louisville, KY, and Wellington, FL. We all had a blast making memories at A Family Tradition! The cabin was the perfect size for all of us to enjoy our own space, and yet small enough to feel cozy and inviting. We spent the days exploring the area, and the evenings enjoying a throwback vacation with no electronics at all. (Even though there was WiFi in the house, we didn't feel the need to use it very often). It was such a relaxing place to be, and the neighbors were All so nice to us. :-) The cabin had just about everything that we needed for the week. We cooked tons of meals, and enjoyed playing pool, reading on the porch, and using the hot tub. We ALL would love to be able to stay here every year, and truly make this "A Family Tradition"!

We loved the house and the location. It was beautiful and peaceful. It was close to most attractions we were interested in. It was child safe! Our grandchildren are very active( ages 10 months, 3 and 4 YO and a 9 Year old) and were did not have to worry about falling off the porch to a bottomless mountain! We all enjoyed the hot tub on the porch. Thanks.
