Hearthstone: A Mountain Lodge Where Luxury Meets High Country Adventure
Perched high atop Appalachian Mountain at 4,200 feet, just 10 minutes from charming downtown Blowing Rock and 12 minutes from Boone, Hearthstone is not just a home, it's an unforgettable experience for families, friends, and groups up to twenty-four. Whether you are gathering for a reunion, celebrating a special occasion, or simply escaping the everyday, this 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath mountain retreat offers the ultimate blend of luxury, comfort, and play.
Mountain Luxury at Its Finest
Arrive via a paved driveway and step into mountain elegance through the grand front entrance or pull right into the spacious 2-car garage. Inside, you'll be greeted by soaring ceilings, warm wood accents, and a layout designed for connection and relaxation.
The chef's kitchen is a dream for entertaining: honed granite countertops, a spacious maple island, a double oven, gas stove, two dishwashers, two sinks, and a second refrigerator in the nearby laundry room (with a third sink, another large countertop, and two washers and driers) make meal prep for a crowd seamless. Gather around the impressive dining table that seats up to 20 and enjoy meals with a view.
Step out onto the deck and marvel at the expansive long-range mountain views which are especially breathtaking as the sun is setting over the mountains to the west. The deck features a table that can seat 8-10 and multiple comfortable chairs to enhance relaxation, great conversations, and savoring the awe-inspiring mountain panoramas.
Entertainment for All Ages
The main level features multiple spaces to unwind from the cozy living room with a wood-burning stone fireplace to a cinematic theater room with sunken seating for 10+. The airy sunroom showcases stunning mountain views and leads to the expansive deck and bubbling hot tub, perfect spots to unwind after a day of adventure.

Outdoor Adventure Awaits
Step outside to discover a private mountain playground like no other. Relax in the beautiful and soothing spa with a wide variety of jets and room for nine. Roast marshmallows at the fire pit, or watch the kids laugh for hours in the backyard wonderland:
- Enjoy the expansive flat yard for games and gatherings
- Head up the rock steps to the private playground with swings, a climbing wall, and a large sandbox.
- Play horseshoes, tetherball, and the crown jewel: a 50-foot tunnel slide built right into the mountainside. Yes, it's as epic as it sounds!
- On the other side of the house, fire up the grill for BBQ, steaks, or hamburgers.
For nature lovers and hikers, the Blue Ridge Parkway takes you right to the famous Cone Estate Trails (ideal for exploring and hiking) and Price Lake Park (where canoes and kayaks are available for rent).
Hearthstone is more than just a stay. It's where lifelong memories are made. Whether you're sipping coffee while the fog lifts over the peaks, watching the kids race down the mountainside slide, or savoring unforgettable sunset mountain vistas, this home offers beauty, tranquility, and laughter in every moment.
