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.

Stunning
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!

We loved the fire pit but need to bring your own wood. The deck and hot tub was great for everyone.

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.

Friends and family getaway
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!
