Description Description
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 two families to share; there are two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms with a family room downstairs. There is a King bedroom on both floors. Upstairs there is a King Master suite with a private bathroom, and across the hall is a Queen bedroom with adjoining bathroom that also opens onto the hallway. With two king beds, a queen, two twins and a TV in every room you will be comfortable when it is time to retire for the night. Bring your favorite DVDs – each bedroom can play them. 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 below to explore the PlayStation 3 on the 51” HDTV in the family room 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. The PlayStation is loaded with games for little kids, big kids, and adults. It is also internet-enabled so you can access your games in the cloud. Grab a controller, set the recliner, and enjoy.

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 four major winter resorts, and Grandfather Mountain. You are sure to love everything about A Happy Roost! Welcome! Make this your home away from home!

This was a very nice cabin to rent
This was a very nice cabin to rent. Very close to Boone and Banner Elk. The outdoor decks were very pleasant to sit and view. The house is not completely secluded, although you have plenty of privacy. I would recommend this property if you're looking for a cabin, not too far out of town.

Ski Trip to Beech Mountain
Location was GREAT. We were only 30 mins from Sugar and Beech Mountain and about 15 minutes from Boone. The house was perfect size for 4 adults and 3 teens and plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean, furniture was well kept and also came with a hot tub that was perfect after a long day on the slopes. The rental company was great of accommodating our request to move up our vacation due to weather. I think we found our yearly rental for our ski trips!!

LOVE this home!!
We were lucky enough to be able to rent A Happy Roost for our youngest son's graduation from Appalachian on December 16. What a wonderful home! It's actually even more charming and lovely than it looks in the photos! We had more than enough room for me, my husband and our two older children, and we were able to bring our little Pug with us too since it's pet friendly (he loved the house too!). Location to App State campus was great - a quick 7-8 minute drive to the Convocation Center for the ceremony, and the house is on a very quiet street that's tucked away in a lovely neighborhood. House was immaculately clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was THE BEST!! Such an added bonus and such a treat! We enjoyed the hot tub both nights of our stay, and it was so fun to be toasty warm and relaxed in the tub, even though it was freezing and windy outside! The house was cozy and spacious and we just loved it. A Happy Roost indeed! Would definitely love to stay here again!

This house was as described and photographed and was convenient to everything we wanted to do. Driving in can be tricky if its snowy/sleeting, so 4WD would be advisable if renting in winter.

Such a cute cabin tucked in the mountains near Boone, NC. I stayed here for a girls' trip and it was the perfect spot. Easy drives to hiking spots and to Boone downtown. It was the perfect size for 8 of us, and we had so much fun relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend!

Four Happy Roosters
Four of us went to the Boone area to play golf for 5 days and A Happy Roost was central to all the places we played at. The place was well kept and furnished. Hot tub was great to have after a round of golf. Unfortunately the weather didn't fully cooperate, but we found the card table and the Breweries around the area. We really had a great time there,.

Peace Trees and Golf View
This cabin was perfect for our family weekend. We enjoyed trees , fun golfers and carts view off the porch, totally comfortable for sitting and relaxing. The appliances and utensils were all present and in working order . It's a comfortable house for seniors physically challenged and active children. Plenty of space to enjoy. SHORT drive to ASU . Parking was good for two suvs and another parked safely for a short visit. Quiet neighborhood, on the top side of the mountain, so, steep and tight turns to get in driveway. So, take it slow and easy onto gravel road. You'll love it here!

Great Reunion
Great family reunion location. Outside is rustic, inside feels newly redone with attractive knotty pine throughout. Property management was very responsive to questions and a problem from a tree blowing down next to the cabin. Property description needs a description of Blue Spruce Trail, especially the entry from either end.

A Happy Roost was an amazing place to unwind and relax. We were two couples and it was perfect. We had our own space and then also a place to come together. The kitchen table was perfect for card/ board games. It was also a nice touch that there were two couches in the living room to relax on, whether it be for watching a movie, reading a book, or taking an afternoon nap. The hosts were lovely and responsive. Truly a five star experience.

The cabin was perfect for our family getaway. It was very clean. The wrap around decks were enjoyed by all, especially the hot tub.
