About this property

Heather Heights Cottage - Cozy cabin with a View and Fire Pit, minutes to Boone!

Classic mountain charm meets modern sensibilities in this cozy getaway cabin! Originally built as one of the first summer homes in the Crystal Mountain community, this home has been updated and redecorated top to bottom as of 2018 and is ready for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

The home features level paved partially covered parking and just one step to enter. The first thing you notice upon entry is the exposed beams and vaulted ceiling drawing your eye upward. The kitchen is on your right upon entry and has black appliances and a large bar for food prep space as well as secondary seating. There is a round dining table to the left in a little nook, perfect for 5 to sit and enjoy a meal together. A selection of couches and chairs are arranged around a woodburning fireplace with a large TV mounted above it, and there are sliding glass doors leading to the deck.

Down the hall from the great room is a hall bath with a glass block shower, with two bedrooms at the end of the hall. Each bedroom has a Queen bed. The room on the right has a washer & dryer tucked into the closet, and the room on the left has doors leading out to the deck.

There is a separate living area & bedroom suite on the lower level of the house, accessed either from the outside set of stairs or a partially covered set of stairs leading from the hallway. This second living area has a kitchenette, table, living space with a loveseat, full bath with tub/shower, and a bedroom with a Full-sized bed and a door to a quiet deck with rockers.

Outside the house, a gravel path connects the cottage to the lot next door where a firepit awaits in front of a large natural boulder outcropping. Evenings of fun with the family await for making smores and roasting hot dogs!

Please note there is room for no more than three cars to park at this home.

Located between Boone & Blowing Rock, just minutes into either town, Heather Heights Cottage is a wonderful home base for all your High Country adventures!

Amazing Christmas

The property was as described. We spent Christmas week here, we all had a great time. It can probably use a deep cleaning and some maintenance, but overall still a 5-star experience!

I would not stay here again and their property manager is not very responsive

We booked this place as a quick getaway for an extended weekend of skiing on 1/13/24. However, the place was extremely cold, with no heat air traveling to the rooms. We had to call their property manager, Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals, multiple times before someone came out. When the technician came out, he couldn't do anything and just said that he would bring some portable heaters. In the meantime, the next day, we had to call the property manager, and they moved us to another location that would not be available until that evening. Unfortunately, we spent a good few hours waiting and kept calling and sending the other people to a ski resort while my wife and I were waiting at the house. When we were speaking to one of their agents, they mentioned that they might be able to get a refund due to what we were going through. I gave them the benefit of the doubt to wait for them to respond. Well, that was wishful thinking. No calls except for the automated "take our survey" emails. I called them again on 1/25 and left a voicemail. Still no calls from them. Very unfortunate.

Great views - cabin feel - well stocked

The property was in great shape, they provided a pretty well stocked kitchen. Had 2 firepits to use so that was a nice touch. We do wish that the shower head worked better and that the bathroom was cleaner. Also, there is only one bathroom for 3 rooms, so took some managing with kids. Overall the location was pretty quiet and a nice escape from reality.

Great getaway in the woods

House was good size a little smaller than what the pictures showed. Bathroom upstairs really needs a good cleaning mold all over shower. Floors needed a little scrubbing. Downstairs was nice but smelled musty. Dehumidifier was full and the water holding tank was very moldy.

Nice location, cute cottage, not very clean

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The cottage was in a convenient location with a pretty view. We enjoyed the complimentary delicious fudge that was on the counter when we walked in :) Our girls loved the upstairs kids' loft. However, they toys and games that were listed in the description should be replenished. There was one Barbie with no hair and two games with missing pieces. Fortunately our girls each brought a few toys from home to play with. The cottage was difficult for us Floridians to drive to and from, as the roads leading to it were steep, narrow, and windy - take caution. It was quite an adventure for us! On the day of checkin, I never received the gate information I was told I would get in an email, so I had to call and get it, which was difficult with spotty service. However, everyone I talked to was very friendly. Communication was always very prompt leading up to the trip as well. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. I could smell urine as soon as I walked inside, there were cobwebs all over, there was mold in the shower, and the doors/walls had long stain drips all over. These are things that should and could easily be cleaned. The landscaping could use some attention as well. Weeds are taking over and the potted plants in the front were mostly dead. This didn't affect our stay, but does affect your initial impression when driving up to the cottage for the first time. The place appeared very run down and we were honestly intimidated to walk inside based on the appearance of the exterior. These little touches and extra care to attention/detail could have made for a better review.

A Nice, Quiet, Peaceful Place

Our family had a rough year and needed a 'resting' vacation. This was a great place to do that. The deck was nice for during the day and the fire circle was a great touch for the evenings. We weren't too far from Boone or Blowing Rock and got to take advantage of fun things to do and great places to eat in both spots.

Kid friendly and quiet

Tucked away in a nice gated community in the mountains. This cottage is cozy, nicely decorated and kid friendly with their own loft. Just the right size for a small family and with a lower apartment for another couple or grandparent perhaps. The outdoor living here is fantastic. Multiple decks and a huge graveled area with a rock outcropping and fire pit nearby were enjoyed daily. My son wants me to buy it so we can go back whenever we want. :)

Great mountain cabin!

This was a great stay. The property is tucked in a private community, with great views, and very clean. Communication with the management company was excellent. The cabin has a great outdoor space with plenty of room for kids to explore. We really liked the outdoor firepit area. This caibn is extremely convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock, and the parkway. Hope to come back!
