Wake up in the spruce
A family-friendly, all-wood cabin tucked into the high country — 8 minutes from Boone, and the kind of quiet that only the mountains know.
All-wood, all yours
Knotty pine from floor to rafters
The vaulted great room runs open from end to end — fireplace, dining table, and a full kitchen with an island for the group breakfast crowd. Real wood everywhere you look, the way a mountain cabin should be.

The entertainment den
Game nights that go late
Downstairs is built for staying in: an 85" theater wall with surround sound, a custom bar, a game table, and lounge seating for everyone. Rainy mountain afternoons don't stand a chance.

Decks & fire pit
Evenings around the fire
Two decks face the trees and the golf-course pond, and the fire pit ring is set right into the hillside. Morning coffee up top, s'mores down below — the high country handles the rest.

Your hosts
The people behind the door
We're the family behind Spruce Almighty. We fell for this stretch of the high country the way most people do — one slow morning on the deck at a time — and we've been sharing the cabin with guests ever since.
When you book, you're talking to us directly — before, during, and after your stay. Questions about the drive, the crib, the best biscuit in Boone? Just ask.
