WHY GUESTS LOVE US:
Impeccable & Intentional: Guests consistently rave that the home is "spotless" and "even better than the photos." Every corner is designed for both aesthetics and ease — this will feel like home.
The "Parent-Approved" Bunk Room: Featuring blackout shades, a library, and toys, this room is known for helping kids (and parents) actually sleep on vacation.
*Pack and play & Ikea high chair provided upon request.
Personal Hospitality: From local coffee to onsite laundry (and pods) to "take-one, leave-one" books, we provide quality essentials so you can pack light.
Fall & Holiday Sanctuary: Wake up to fog settling in the treetops, sip coffee on the elevated deck, and end the day by the fire pit watching the leaves fall. or Soon, the first fire of the season crackles indoors by the original stone hearth. Grab your cozy socks and snuggle in.
Feel lost in your own private oasis, with 360° views of the trees. You’ll get to wake to the songs of the birds and watch the deer from the bedroom window.
TAILORED FOR YOUR TRIP
💫Young Families:
Low-stress by design. We provide a pack-and-play, high chair, and kid-friendly essentials so you can pack light. Spend a morning at Valle Crucis Park (10 min), start a new tradition with a family trip to a local choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm. Warm up after with cider from Pearls and old-fashioned candy at Mast General Store, or catch the Boone Farmers Market (10 min) before its season winds down.
🌱Creatives:
A quiet cabin with a dedicated workspace, original stone hearth, and treetop views — the kind of stillness that's hard to find at home. Refill your cup at Mountain Dog Coffee (short walk), browse Huzzah Books a high-design used bookshop next to Parallel Brewing (12 min), or warm up with cozy drinks at Venture Chocolate and Wine after feeling inspired at Common Good Art Gallery (12 min).
🌼Girls' Trip:
Spacious cabin layout with plants and florals to make it extra sweet. A well-appointed kitchen perfect for a cozy night in (spices and oils, local coffee and tea provided). Sip wine at Grandfather Vineyard (6 min), book a table for a special-occasion dinner at Gideon Ridge, or spend an afternoon shopping Blowing Rock's holiday-lit Main Street (20 min). Antiquing is just around the corner from us!
LAYOUT & SLEEPING (Sleeps 7)
Master Suite: Queen bed, renovated ensuite, and dedicated workspace.
Bunk Room: Twin-over-full bunk + wooden rocking chair, books and toys.
Loft Space: Airy full-sized bed overlooking the living area — a cozy spot for afternoon naps and reading as the seasons change outside the window.
LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS
5 Min: Coffee, cider, and bagels at Mountain Dog Coffee and comfort food at Holloway Kitchen. Farm-fresh veg and local baked goods at Maws Farm Stand. Find fun antiques at Front Porch Antiques.
10 Min: Otter Falls for an easy fall hike, and the historic Mast General Store for cider and old-fashioned candy. Start your days at Valle Crucis Park (our kids’ favorite playground!). Plan choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms for a classic High Country holiday tradition.
10 Min: Artisan shopping, local coffee roasters, wine bars and breweries, art galleries, local eats, the Boone Farmers Market in downtown Boone, and Appalachian State University.
20 Min: The Mile High Swinging Bridge at Grandfather Mountain, plus holiday shopping and cozy dining in Blowing Rock. Be sure to check out Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park during the holidays.
A note on the drive: We're tucked at the end of a quiet, private gravel road with a sloped driveway — part of what keeps this spot so peaceful and private. It's well-maintained and easy for most vehicles in dry conditions; in wet or wintry weather, a 4WD or AWD vehicle makes for the smoothest arrival.
OUR SISTER PROPERTY — RIGHT NEXT DOOR!
Looking to book two cabins? Our sister property, Lone Sister Cabin, sits next door just down the hill. This five-star-rated A-frame cabin sleeps 4 comfortably. Beautifully curated and full of natural light. Inquire to book both together.
💫 OUR STORY
We're Texans who fell in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains and created the Lone Star Hideaway as a place for families to slow down and make lasting memories. From our family to yours, every detail of this renovation was thoughtfully designed to blend our Western roots with modern mountain comfort.
To us, this isn't just an Airbnb; it's a mission to offer a safe and life-giving space where you can truly connect with the people you love. We believe that HOME is at the heart of everything. We treat our guests like family — whether it's welcoming you with a personalized treat or being available to help you plan your perfect stay. We pray that your stay here is a blessing to your family.

Meet your host
Born in the 80s
Where I went to school: SMU MBA, St. Edwards Alum
Hi, I'm Alex, owner of The Lone Star Hideaway. We are a Texas styled cabin perched on a hill in the mountains of Boone, NC. We cannot wait to welcome you.
My husband and I spent the better years of the last two decades traveling the
world (both for work and play). I happen to believe that there are few things in life better than travel. Immersing oneself in new cultures and surroundings connects us, molds us, and in many ways, heals us. While our days traveling the world have grown fewer and further between, we have found that life keeps us just as busy as we split our time between Boone, NC and Dallas, TX.
Five years ago, I left a fast paced life in corporate to invest in my family. I'm now kept busy as a boy mom, and spend my time working our renovation projects and design. I am a former yoga teacher, and, of course, dabble in sourdough bread baking. When I can catch my breath, I indulge in a good read (when I can). Above all, Jesus is central to our family. In the season of unexpected paths, we have chosen to trust and follow Him, hence the birth of The Lone Star Hideaway (which we never expected to do). We love sharing our space with young families and guests, and take pride knowing that we are bringing a piece of our family to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Creating experiences and helping others to feel special is our way of connecting and finding new meaning.
