Historic Thomas Chapel house - Half mile from Downtown Boone
Update: The chapel is fully functional and welcoming guests following Helene!
Thomas Chapel was originally built in Watauga county near Tennessee in 1886 . decommissioned in 1967 and then bought in 1977 as a Mother's day gift for a former member of the church . It was taken apart and reassembled in her backyard. Her great grandson later converted the chapel to what is now the comfortable sanctuary located in a private valley on the outskirts of Boone. The church has been turned into a home which boasts a bell tower and 30 foot vaulted ceiling complete with the original hand hewn structural timbers. Nestled in a scenic hollow with a mountain stream and woods on one side and farmland on the other. Half a mile from downtown Boone, this private chapel is conveniently located 1 mile from Appalachian States Campus, and 20 minutes from 2 of the areas finest ski resorts. Come and experience a piece of high country history.
Incredible property and location. Fire alarm started chirping so i messaged the owner and he responded immediately and fixed the problem. I want to stay here again!!!
There were about 10-12 steps to enter or leave and hauling suitcase made it worse. We were initially there for 1month.There was never any clean up or bed change which we feel should have been done weekly. The place had no comfortable chairs or seating. Lighting in bath was poor and there was no tv service. All this combined made for a uncomfortable trip and we left after 2weeks. We are not asking for any refund but it would be nice. We have used vrbo before and may give it another chance?
We enjoyed the history, the renovations, and had everything we needed to cook and relax! It is so close to downtown! The furniture and bedding are super comfortable and modern.We will stay here again!
The chapel is a very unique and well kept place. What a beautiful remodel. The history of this small chapel adds to its charm also. It was very close to downtown and the surrounding areas. Thank you Daniel for a memorable stay. -The Baileys.
What a beautiful place! Impeccable craftsmanship in restoring this lovely church--no detail left undone, and a very comfortable place to stay. Outside after dark, we enjoyed a great show from the fireflies. Just a great stay--thank you!
The vrbo was very nice, clean and comfortable. Privacy was great. The owner was flexible with our booking when requested due to a health issue and Hurricane Helene last year. Would recommend renting this property.
What a unique and special place! We had the most relaxing stay at this historical property. Beautiful decor and peaceful surroundings. We would definitely stay here again.
Thomas Chapel was easy to find, and a quick drive from Downtown Boone. Set back from the road far enough that it was actually pretty quiet. I definitely rang the church bell every time we came through the door. Incredible craftsmanship, such a calming atmosphere. We were actually able to rest. We loved the decor and the small creek running beside the Chapel. All in all, a fantastic stay!
We have visited Boone during our son's four years at App State. The Chapel is so unique and specialâI only wish we had found it sooner. The space perfectly blends historic charm with modern comfort. The soaring ceilings and original architectural details give the place so much character. It was very clean, and you canât beat the locationâso close to downtown Boone!Itâs a truly special place for anyone looking to stay somewhere out of the ordinary. Highly recommend!
The history of the property, the craftsmanship of the build, the accommodations, the cleanliness and attention to detail as well as the location are all 10 out of 10. We were very blessed to happen upon it by chance and made an excellent weekend get away for our wedding anniversary. We would definitely stay here again and really enjoyed it!
This property exceeded our expectations. The pictures look beautiful but in person is even more so. The owner did an amazing job with all the small details that some rentals are missing. From towel hooks in the bathroom to luggage stands, everything was thought of. We came into town to do some hiking and exploring the small towns around the area. This property is in a perfect location. You are close to downtown Boone but when youâre inside you feel like you are far away from everything. We would love to return!
