Mountain Top Paradise

MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YRS OF AGE TO BOOK

Welcome to Top of the World!

Top of the World earns its name with truly expansive mountain top views and a spacious outdoor area sitting eye-to-eye with the surrounding peaks. The interior has a tasteful, contemporary mountain contemporary style, with an eclectic flair throughout, further elevated by the 2021 renovations performed by its new owners.

Guests can relax and enjoy the ridgetop views from the oversized deck, the hot tub, the porch swing, or the fire pit and picnic area. Relax indoors in the bright, open great room and bar, or the lower level game room and den while playing pool, foosball, or a game on the Multicade arcade machine. Or enjoy the comfy sitting area and the large HD Smart TV. There is also a new full bathroom on the lower level for added convenience.

There are two suites with king beds, one on the main level and one on the upper level. Both have HD Smart TVs, custom ensuite bathrooms, sitting areas, and beautiful views. The third is a generous king bedroom with an HD Smart TV and oversized windows revealing impressive long-range views. The fourth is a queen bedroom, also furnished with an HD Smart TV. The fifth is a bunk room with a twin-over-full bunk bed. A third full bathroom upstairs services these bedrooms.

The main level boasts a large, open kitchen with stainless appliances and marble countertops. The open dining area offers ample seating for eleven (11) guests and is adjacent to the sitting area and the great room. The great room features a stone fireplace with gas logs, a nice bar, an HD Smart TV, soaring ceilings, and a wall of windows and glass doors allowing sunlight in and framing the priceless mountain top views. There is a cozy sitting area with two custom armchairs in front of a dramatic view window, as well as a half bath/powder room.

The renovated lower level is a huge game room and den with a fourth full bathroom. It features an eight-foot slate pool table, a foosball table, and a cocktail-style Multicade arcade machine loaded with tons of retro and current video games. The den is open to the game room and has comfortable furniture and a large wall-mounted HD Smart TV.

For more mountain views and fun, visit nearby Hawk's Nest for Ziplining and Snowtubing - just a few minutes away. The new Alpine Wilderness Roller Coaster is a short eight (8) mile drive from Top Of The World. Sugar Mountain offers winter fun on the ski slopes, ice skating, and an 18-hole public golf course, all less than nine (9) miles away. Beech Mountain Ski Resort is about sixteen (16) miles away. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad are about seventeen (17) miles away, on the other side of Boone. Grandfather Mountain and its famed Profile Hiking Trails are a short five (5) mile drive from the house. The village of Valle Crucis, with its famous Original Mast General Store and huge riverfront community park, is only eleven (11) miles away. Downtown Banner Elk is less than eleven (11) miles away. The town of Boone is less than twelve (12) miles away, and downtown Blowing Rock is less than fifteen (15) miles away. Enjoy everything the High Country has to offer, from this convenient, centrally located vacation destination.

The house was just as advertised. The kitchen was fully-stocked for cooking, and had plenty of towels, etc. for our stay. Location was central to all the things we wanted to do (Blowing Rock, hiking, Grandfather Mountain, Alpine coaster, etc.). Management was very responsive. We will definitely come back!

The views were amazing! The house was very accommodating to our large family. We were all able to be together but not feel crowded. The outdoor space was amazing along with the game area. We loved the option of multiple master bedrooms. The living room with fireplace was cozy. Will definitely be booking this property again for more vacations with friends and family!

Lives up to its name

This amazing property lived up to its name! The view was spectacular from any room in the house. The location was perfect, only about 15 minutes from shops, restaurants, hiking, and a winery. The house was clean, comfortable, and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare a variety of meals. And, the game room downstairs provided hours of entertainment on a rainy Sunday. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was beautiful, clean and did not miss a detail. Three families and our young children enjoyed staying here as we learned to ski at the local slopes. Loved that the snow tubing was so close as well. Would love to come back for another stay soon. Couldn’t ask for a better property!

We were directed to this house after we had another property cancel on us last minute, and honestly this house was better. It was absolutely beautiful on the inside, had a well-stocked kitchen, lots of space to be together and be separate, and the views were amazing. Already planning on returning in the future!

Winter Wonderland

I can not say enough about this property. The home was beautifully designed, decorated and laid out. The views were heavenly and we were lucky enough to get snowed in and it was a true winter wonderland. You dont get to such a beautiful and remote picturesque place without a good 4 wheel drive, so be prepared in the winter. The rental property was great, very responsive, and was able to get us a snow shovel as when we arrived there was ice and snow built up on the walkway, but nothing a little bit of old-fashioned exercise couldn't tackle. We would definitely stay again, however would just bring a set of four tire chains as opposed to two, as the hill is a little brutal going up and down with a big truck as the road engineers for Seven Devils clearly did not get the memo from GMC engineers on the turning radius of a 2500 diesel:). Thanks for the amazing experience The Kurtz's

The house is beautiful, comfortable, and has everything you need. Carolina Cabin Rentals keeps it very clean. It was holiday decorated. The drive to it is challenging but worth the amazing views. Avoid driving there at night or with oversized vehicles. Tight switchbacks and one lane wide for 2 way traffic.

Perfect Long Weekend

The house is beautiful and the views are spectacular. The photos don’t do the house justice. We enjoyed all our family time. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and storage for food items in cabinets. It felt luxurious inside and what fun we had in the game room. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were out of a 5 star hotel. Can’t recommend this house enough and we will be back. Convenient to lots of activities as well. Thank you for sharing Top of the World with our family.

Top of the World Property

Stay was great. When it suggests 4WD and chains in the winter- you need to come with that kind of vehicle. We did and still had difficulty. We slid off the road. While the neighborhood did scrape- it could not keep up with the snowfall and icy roads. There were a few accidents as the neighborhood has extremely steep inclines. Some alternate roads to the top of the mountain were completely in accessible. The property itself is beautiful. Beds are super comfy and the kids had a great time playing ping pong and sitting in the hot tub. Plenty of room to spread out. We had 10 people and did not feel cramped at all.

Breath-taking Views, Lots of Amenities and Perfect for Entertaining - Conveniently Located!!!

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The view is breath-taking, located super close to Hawksnest Tubing and a short distance from Sugar Mountain. Outside of taking advantage of those excursions, the house has a fun, warm atmosphere and is perfect for families or groups looking to get away. We had everything that we needed and more - and the weather ended up being perfect for us. The rental company was very responsive and helpful leading up to, and throughout, our stay. There were a couple things that needed enhancements (TV needs to be tweaked and there needs to be a deeper cleaning dive), but don't let these, or previous comments, deter you from renting this property. It was stunning and absolutely perfect for our group. When we weren't skiing or tubing, we were playing pool & ping pong, sitting by the fire or watching basketball on the big screen. The downstairs is open and perfect for entertaining. Again - THE VIEW!!! We made some incredible memories in this home and hope to return one day. PS - Make sure you take a 4WD vehicle if you are going durint wintry conditions - the drive up is steep. Many thanks again to Carolina Cabin Rentals for making this a wonderful trip for our party.
