Bistro Roca is our favorite local restaurant for a night out. The atmosphere and location are excellent and the food is always great. This is THE place to go for a nice meal after graduation, a special celebration, or dinner with friends. Try the eggplant frites (even if you don't like eggplant)!

Parks & Nature
Everyone who visits Boone (and lives here) has the iconic picture from Rough Ridge. In fact, you can see it in our listing pics! This is a great hike that is not too long or too strenuous. It's not flat, but the views are well worth the hiking it takes to reach them. We have taken our kids up the trail since they were 4 years old (though you may end up doing a little carrying).

Rent a kayak or canoe at Price lake and enjoy an hour or two of floating in this beautiful scenery! It is AMAZING in the fall when the leaves are changing. And, the rentals are very affordable. This is a great activity for all ages. We highly recommend it!

Entertainment & Activities
The perfect small theme park for kids age 2-11. Intentionally low tech. Fun shows (our daughter is in one 🙂) and great rides for young kids.
It may be small, but that is the beauty of it. This small amusement park is perfect for young kids. It is not so large as to be overwhelming, and not so crowded as to be exhausting (except during Thomas the Tank Engine days). There is a ferris wheel, fun kiddie rides, a chair lift, petting zoo, and some charmingly corny shows.
