About this house rental
Brand new to the rental market as of 2022! This charming 4-bedroom home is located on the outskirts of Boone making it the ideal getaway for those seeking something a little more removed and private, yet still close to fun area activities!
The main level offers a spacious living room, kitchen and dining space. The living room features an electric fireplace, flat screen TV and cozy furniture. The kitchen is fully stocked and offers plenty of space to spread out and cook a delicious meal. There is also a drip coffee maker, so bring your favorite ground coffee! 4 barstools are located at the large stainless island for a quick bite before heading to town!
The master bedroom is located on the main level and is furnished with a king bed, flat screen TV, and full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Each bedroom also has its own mini-split unit for heating & cooling. Head upstairs to find the bunk room which has one bunk bed (twin-over-twin) and two day beds, each with a trundle underneath. This room will sleep a total of 6... perfect spot for kids to gather and play games while adults enjoy an evening by the firepit!
Downstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms, each with king beds and their own private bathrooms. Also on this level is an additional kitchen that is fully stocked with plates, cups, and extra supplies! There is also a small dining table, an arcade game machine, and a futon adjacent to the kitchen for overflow sleeping space.
Outside is where most guests will spend the bulk of their time during warmer months! The huge, partially covered deck is furnished with brand new rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs! There is also a gas grill for guests to use (propane will be provided). Underneath the deck is the brand new hot tub. Last but not least, there is a newly constructed fire pit in the yard for the cool summer and fall evenings with the family! The Guf was thoughtfully furnished to be a haven for guests to escape their busy lives and enjoy all the High Country has to offer. Brand new furnishings (including mattresses!) will have everyone feeling relaxed and refreshed. When it's time to head into town for dining, shopping, and other fun activities, you're only an 8 mile drive from downtown Boone, and 16 miles to Blowing Rock! The Guf is the perfect destination for year-round trips to the beautiful North Carolina Mountains!

Very spacious house that worked for 3 families with kids and dogs. I love that they were pet friendly and the check in process was easy. Highly recommend!

Went with several friends and some kids; house was clean and spacious and well-equipped. Hot tub controls are over-engineered and gave us some trouble, so I’d recommend getting detailed instruction from the owner, but no big deal.

Everything was great from beginning to end! House super clean and organized, we got to see some snow and property manager was always checking on us by text. Would definitely recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at The Guf. We thoroughly enjoyed the home…made for a great location to gather to celebrate my father’s 70th Birthday. The house was spotless and well stocked. The location is super convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk. We enjoyed lots of the local activities. The home is decorated beautifully and we were all so impressed with the size of all the bedrooms. We are already talking about booking for next year again!!! (Everyone ranging from age 7 to 70 had fun…even the dog) Thanks for a great Weekend!
