The space

Welcome to “Altitude Adjustment”! Nestled away on almost 4 acres at the top of a gated mountain community, is your perfect mountain get-away. Updated in Summer 2022, be one of the first to enjoy this new listing from experienced hosts.

We have designed our cabin to have everything our small family would want in the mountains. Whether it be a hot tub & fire pit with unobstructed views of the Blue Ridge Parkway, a huge porch where you can capture both sunrises and sunsets, a covered outdoor grilling area, a private yard for the dogs, or even a recreation area where we can play ping-pong and corn hole without leaving the house.

Our cabin is extremely private (you cannot see any neighboring homes), but the neighborhood and location adds a huge value. We live in a gated – very safe – community. The community maintains miles of private hiking trails only available to residents/guests which include a 70-foot waterfall, great views, streams & swimming holes, a fully stocked fishing pond, and an outdoor recreation area.

The community is located a short drive to Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson, Wilkesboro, and the Blue Ridge Parkway – with tons of things to enjoy. Kayaking, fishing, hiking, paragliding, tubing, scenic drives, ATV tours, breweries and vineyards, shopping, & dining. Please note that we are on the top of the mountain, so a “short” drive is about 20-45min depending on your destination of choice.

Our interior is cozy and rustic; exactly what you would want in a mountain home. You will enjoy mountain views from all of the living spaces (kitchen, living room, dining room), as well as incredible views directly from the Master Loft – where you can watch the sunrise or stargaze from your King-sized bed.

The kitchen has all of the basics that you need to cook a full meal – oven, stove, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and we keep it stocked with basic cooking supplies. There is also a propane grill outdoors.

Our dining area has a nice sized kitchen table with seating for 4, and is great for a daytime working space, or family board games (we provide some)! We also have 4 barstools at the kitchen counter.

Extremely important – we have modern necessities that are sometimes hard to find in mountain rentals. 500/500mbps fiber internet, Live TV, Streaming Services, decent cell phone coverage (carrier dependent), central HVAC. If you are working from home, we have a desk and a office chair in the downstairs bedroom.

In the basement leading out to the hot tub, fire pit, and yard area is an array of recreational games that you can enjoy during your stay. Please note that this area is not heated/cooled, so enjoyment is at your discretion & comfort.

Guest access

Full access to the entire cabin.

Other things to note

Enjoyment of our home will require the ability to climb stairs. It is not ideal for physically disabled guests.

Our cabin is located approximately 10 minutes up a mountain. The roads are paved (with the exception of about 0.2mi of gravel road) and well maintained, but they are mountain roads with many switchbacks (and great views!). We encourage only traveling up/down the mountain during daylight, and in the event of winter weather – 4WD vehicles are strongly encouraged.
