Set within the gated Hound Ears community, Alpine Sanctuary is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage offering a relaxed mountain retreat surrounded by mature trees and easy access to the High Country’s top attractions. The main living area features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, tongue-and-groove paneling, leather seating, and a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace. Large windows bring in natural light, and the space opens to a dining area and a well-equipped kitchen. The loft above adds extra room to unwind with shuffleboard, an arcade game, and a desk for remote work.

The main-floor primary suite includes a king bed, TV, deck access, and an en suite bath with a tub/shower combo. Downstairs, a queen suite and a twin room with trundles each offer private baths and access to the lower deck. The fenced yard makes the home especially inviting for guests traveling with dogs.

Outdoor living includes a spacious upper deck with an outdoor dining table, grill, lounge seating, and propane heaters. Located minutes from Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the cottage places hiking, dining, shopping, and family attractions within easy reach.
