Welcome to the Yonahlossee Saddle Club!

The Yonahlossee Saddle Club is a private, gated, scenic mountain community located approximately six miles between the downtown areas of Boone and Blowing Rock, NC.  The Yonahlossee Saddle Club Property Owners Association was incorporated in June 1999. Our POA is governed by a 7-member volunteer Board of Directors elected by all property owners. Care and maintenance of our community is the responsibility of our Board, who either perform the work themselves or oversee the work of contractors. Residents are invited and encouraged to take an active roll with the Association’s Board and Committees.

Sixty eight wooded lots ranging in size from 1.5 to 2.5 acres make up our development.   Some of our highest elevations exceed 4,000 feet, and views of Grandfather, Grandmother, Sugar, and Beech Mountains highlight our neighborhood. As of 2023, there is an approximate 50/50 ratio between improved (home built) and unimproved (vacant) lots.  Homes vary in size and architectural style including traditional, post and beam, craftsman and log cabin.  Homes include year round residences, short term rentals, and seasonal second homes.

Yonahlossee is an Indian name meaning “Trail of the Bear” or “Passing Bear.”  It is not unusual to see bears passing through our community in spring and early summer, and they enjoy early morning and late evening hours.  An abundance of wildlife including deer and wild turkeys thrive in our mature woods and pastures. We also have a 1.5 acre pond with earthen dam that eventually flows into the Watauga River.  

Our community is also referred to as the “Saddle Club” since the Yonahlossee Stables at Pine Hill is our neighbor and their 8.6 acre equestrian pasture is located just inside our entrance gate.  Other pastures are located on Preakness where horses frequently graze.  A ¾ mile bridle trail runs parallel to Saratoga and provides great hiking in addition to horseback riding. 

To continue the equestrian theme, our streets are named after famous horse racing tracks …
