Perfectly located atop Appalachian Ski Mountain, close to both Boone and Blowing Rock and every High Country attraction, Aussie’s Den is sure to become your new home away from home!    In early Summer 2015, we visited the North Carolina High Country and fell in love with the view this lot offered. Our sweet elderly dog Aussie was with us, and sadly this was to be her last trip to the mountains. Aussie crossed the Rainbow Bridge later that fall. We’ve named our home after Aussie and we hope that everyone who vacations here will experience Aussie’s sense of excitement, wonder, adventure, and especially love.-Tom & Sherrie, owners OFF-PEAK SPECIAL: Stay longer than the minimum number of nights and automatically receive a 5-15% Discount - Excluding Holidays.
