Set high in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Boone is a mountain town with soul. It’s where scenic byways wind through misty peaks, local shops line historic streets, and adventure is always just around the bend—whether you're chasing waterfalls or sipping cider on a porch with a view.
Boone invites you to breathe deep and explore at your own pace. Start your day with a hike to Rough Ridge or the summit of Elk Knob for panoramic views of rolling ridgelines. The nearby Blue Ridge Parkway makes for a spectacular drive in any season, but fall steals the show when the mountains ignite in fiery reds and golds. In warmer months, the Watauga River beckons for fly fishing, tubing, or just wading through cool mountain water.
In town, Boone blends college-town creativity (thanks to Appalachian State University) with mountain-town warmth. King Street is dotted with cozy cafés, Appalachian craft shops, and live music venues that hum well into the evening. Venture just outside town and you’ll find farm stands, local breweries, and peaceful valleys that feel like stepping back in time.
Greetwell guests can connect with hand-picked local experiences—from guided hikes and stargazing outings to hands-on folk art workshops that bring the spirit of the Smokies to life.
