Welcome to High Peak Retreat!

High Peak Retreat is an upscale log cabin with stunning long-range mountain views, strategically located just a half-mile off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The main level boasts an open-concept living area featuring a stacked-stone gas log fireplace, leather furniture, and a big-screen TV. Large windows illuminate the wood-paneled living space with breathtaking mountain views. The kitchen features stainless appliances, granite countertops, a stainless basin sink, and a large center island for convenient meal prep. Adjacent to the kitchen, a dining table seats eight, with four additional seats at the island. Outside, the deck offers a spectacular view and includes a gas grill, a gas fire table, and outdoor dining tables.

"Helene" of a weekend

High Peak is a great property, perfect for 10 people. Unfortunately, Helene added a wrinkle to our visit to App St for Parents weekend, but the fact that we had power (generator) and comfortable lodging made it much easier on the group. The lodge is clean, accomodating and not far from Boone or Blowing Rock. The kitchen is well stocked and perfect if you bring your own food. We planned to eat at High Peak for 2 nights because of the expected crowds in Boone for the game and parents weekend. The game was canceled and the Hurricane closed the town down on Friday and Saturday. THe Master bedroom is very comfortable with an on-suite bathroom, the Guest bedroom has a queen bed with the bathroom across the hall. The bunk room has its own bathroom and sleeps 4-6. The basement can hold at least 2 people comfortably, there is a powder room in the basement. Unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy the outside decks or the views due to rain and fog, but it was definitely a nice and enjoyable stay considering the circumstances. I do want to mention leading up to Sep 27 the cabin property management company was very responsive to my questions, however after we arrived I called them 4 time and never got a response, which I understand considering the weather conditions.
