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.

A Very Special Place
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!

Great stay just minutes from ASU and King Street
Don't be intimidated by the beautiful pics of the location. From the exterior pics, we thought it might be remote but it is literally right off the road on 321 west of downtown. Very convenient. The chapel is stunning inside, very cozy and perfect for a couple or small family. Daniel was an excellent host.

The property is beautiful. Seemed like you were far from everything but town was just a few minutes. Wonderful workmanship and decor giving a nod to its original purpose. It was well below freezing when we stayed and it was toasty warm with plenty of hot water.Host very helpful

Practically Perfect in Every Way
This place was a great midway point between Boone and Zionville, where our family lives. We came for Christmas and there was no more perfect setting than a chapel! The place was exactly as pictured, well appointed, and had a well equipped kitchen, which was much appreciated. Our host, Daniel, communicated effectively and answered all questions in a very timely manner. Check in and check out was quick and easy and we had easy and plentiful parking for our truck.

Divine
This was our second stay at the chapel. This property gets a 10 out of 10 consistently because it is absolutely divine. It is above and beyond expectation. It is absolutely one of the most unique properties where I have ever stayed. It is peaceful and serene. The woodwork is just incredible. It is completely obvious that Daniel put his whole heart and soul and creativity into the renovation of this chapel to share with other people so that they could experience the beauty of it all. Thank you, thank you and we will return.

Amazing Place!
Holy moly what a place! The Thomas Chapel did not disappoint at all! Everything about it was awesome. The attention to detail and all of the local & original material tie ins were super cool. The location is amazing! You are minutes from town but with the hillside and the creek it feels like you are in your own secluded holler out in the mountains. The hosts are superb as well. Excellent communication without being intrusive. The house has everything you could need and the additional coffee and snacks are a nice personal touch. My wife and I always enjoy our weekends in Boone but it is places like this that add that extra layer of wonderful to the time. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful Refuge
Daniel, the manager of the property could not have been better, he was very responsive and helped us with anything we needed. The property itself is amazing, exactly as it is in the pictures but they do not truly convey the grandeur of the space. We love old barns, etc and to have something that looked so old (it actually is a 1885 church) that functioned as a new home was perfect. I would highly recommend! It is close to town but felt very secluded. The view out the kitchen window was a pre-civil war barn and a pumpkin patch. Perfect!

chapel in Boone
My boyfriend and I had an amazing stay…the chapel was very quiet, clean and relaxing…not to mention so close to downtown Boone/Blowing Rock, and less than 30 mins to major hikes along the blue ridge parkway. We were lucky enough to stay until the day prior to the hurricane hitting NC/TN. Hoping that little chapel wasn’t hurt by any flooding!

Very pleasant accommodations that was conveniently located to downtown Boone. The restoration of the church was impressive and tastefully decorated. Owner should consider putting together a scrapbook of old pictures of when it was used as a church for guests to browse. Place was very clean and included all essential amenities. Will definitely stay again for future Boone trips.
