Great stay close to App State!

My family all came up to help to move a student to App State, and we picked this cabin because it was one level. The cabin was great, no neighbors around, beautiful landscaping, and extremely peaceful. Great communication with host was a plus. Highly recommend.

Lovely Property

We rented John’s place for my (now) husband and his groomsmen to stay in during our wedding weekend that was down the road, at Wanderlust Acres. They had everything they needed and commented on how beautiful the view was from the porch. If we are back in the area we would stay here again!

Great Weekend Getaway House

This house is spacious and comfortable for our family for our trip this weekend. VERY glad we got a car with 4WD as the driveway is steep and tough to navigate. The view from back patio was amazing. John did a great job with his communications for the weekend and was so helpful and available if we needed anything.

Amazing retreat

From the isolated (and fun) drive up Chipmunk Lane to the amazing view and the surrounding property to explore, we had a fantastic time. Our kids, their cousins, and our dog loved hiking through the woods around the property and evenings sitting by the fire. The house is spacious and well appointed--a big deal since we had 5 kids with us. The owners were communicative and accommodating--excellent hosts. We would happily recommend it and rent again ourselves.

The views on the deck are spectacular and just completes your morning coffee! John, the owner was great and provided all the information we needed. He made the process seamless!

Excellent weekend!

My family and I had an excellent long weekend at the Highridge House. The cabin is in a great location, literally minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and really felt like a home away from home. The owner John was great to work with and very helpful throughout. The driveway was steep but level and in good shape. I've definitely driven on *MUCH* worse roads in the Boone area. We're really into birding and saw multiple species of warblers within several feet of the cabin!

Beautiful Mountain Retreat - Pet Friendly

Couldn’t ask for a better mountain rental. Property was very clean and the check in process was excellent. Communication with property owner was outstanding with quick responses! Large home with plenty of space and seating. Although I chose not to cook for our short stay the kitchen was exceptionally equipped with drawers and cabinets labeled for easy access. I would have really appreciated all the spices, cooking oils, condiments etc for our use had I made any meals. If you have a dog don’t pass this one up as our nine year old dog enjoyed spending his time too relaxing on large back deck!

This place is SPECIAL

Had an absolutely magnificent time at this luxury log cabin in the mountains. It is: totally private, very quiet, had lovely outside views & a beautiful interior, very nicely appointed with a special note that the kitchen is a "cook's" kitchen. (They actually have quality cookware and sharp knives!) The owners infuse the place with a special energy. Our family was there over the Christmas/New Years holiday, and they had beautifully decorated the entire cabin with festive Xmas decorations including a Christmas tree, wreaths, and multiple accentuating details. Owners also provide a very extensive and detailed list of activities and eateries in the region. Can't recommend this place enough.

20 minutes from Boone

The Highridge House was likely the cleanest and most equipped VRBO we've ever stayed in. It felt like home. John was accessible and a quick responder and made the process--from start to finish--easy and efficient. We were in the area for a fall break and an Appalachian State tour. It's an easy drive into Boone and nice to be out of the bustle (and traffic) of that area. We accessed the restaurants, stores, and amenities of Boone and then happily retreated to the Highridge House for some peace and quiet and mountain air. On a separate note, we highly recommend the Hawksnest Zipline Tour for some exhilarating family adventures when you stay at John's place.

Definitely a 5 star house and view!

I have rented many homes through VRBO and can easily say that this house was by far the best appointed and well suited rental home that I have stayed in. Not only are the views from the deck spectacular, but the serenity of the lot and the access to activities in the area are really top notch. You can tell that John and his family love their home and want to share it with others who will cherish it the same. And, equally notable, was John's graciousness. We made a last minute decision to take this trip and rent his home, and by doing so interrupted John's Italian vacation. Despite being without his laptop and the six hour time difference, John was extremely accommodating and made our visit happen. Thank you! We'll be back.

About the host

Hosted by John Gallucci

Why they chose this property

We've always enjoyed the mountains of NC and wanted a second home where we could get away, relax and spend quality time with our children, their friends, as well as with our friends. We bought this beautiful home in 2008 after we fell in love with the magnificent view. Because it is our second home, it has all the amenities of home with a feeling of casual comfort and warmth. We know if you stay here, you will feel like welcome guests and will want to come back again and again.
