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.

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.

Thomas Chapel House

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

Totally enjoyed this space for a short vacay. The amount of amenities provided was so useful. The actual space clearly matches the descriptions and pictures. We even enjoyed the owner’s recommendation of The Local as a Boone restaurant .

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.
