Ponderosa 1887 - 300 degree views, 3 ensuites, hot tub, pool table

Welcome to Ponderosa 1887, a luxurious cabin on the outskirts of Boone with long range views from almost every angle. This three bedroom log home has three suites, a game room in the loft with pool, shuffleboard, and foosball. Outside is a hot tub on the deck overlooking the amazing long-range views!

The main level opens to a great room with fabulous views. Leather seating surrounds the wood-burning fireplace and flat screen TV. The kitchen is outfitted for all your cooking and entertaining needs. The king suite on the main level has a gas log fireplace, TV, and a large, private bath with soaking tub, tiled shower, and vanity.

On the upper level is the game room in the loft, featuring a pool table, foosball, darts, and shuffleboard. A smart TV with cable and stools let you enjoy the game while playing your own. The two queen suites are both upstairs, one to each side for privacy. Both have a TV, ceiling fan, Juliette balcony, and private full bath with a tub/shower.

Guests may also enjoy the brand new detached living quarters! Finished in the spring of 2025, this space is furnished with a queen sleeper sofa, a dedicated work space, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. A great area for those seeking more privacy or some quiet time while on vacation. This area also features its own patio with a sauna and a hot tub. Guests will not have access to park their vehicles inside the garage.

Guests returning to Ponderosa 1887 may receive a discount of 5%, not to be combined with other discounts to the room rent.
