There’s something magical about a mountain morning in Boone. The air is crisp, the sun is soft, and the pace of life feels just right. And if you ask us, there’s no better way to start your day than with a walk to the Watauga County Farmers’ Market—a beloved Saturday tradition just minutes from The Horton Hotel. Whether you’re a weekend traveler or a curious local, spending your morning at the market is a chance to connect—with the land, the community, and the season itself.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Boone, The Horton Hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to connect, unwind, and discover the soul of the High Country. Locally owned and lovingly restored, our boutique hotel is where Appalachian charm meets thoughtful design, with every detail crafted to create an unforgettable guest experience.
