Great location and welcoming home!
This property is centrally located. It is close to the town of Blowing Rock, while also in the middle of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Beech Mountain Ski Resort, and the Appalachian Ski Mountain. You are also close to the town of Boone where you can find larger supermarkets and major stores. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a short distance away allowing you to easily get around to most major destinations. Getting to the house is a paved highway. Once you turn on the street leading to the house, you will be on a gravel road. There is a pot hole that you can maneuver around. The gravel road gets better the further in you go. We drove an AWD and had no issues. The house itself is welcoming. If you’re traveling with a dog, you will definitely appreciate this home. There is special seating for them in the living room, water/food bowls in a basket close to the dinning room, and a large crate for them in one of the bedrooms. It is a quiet neighborhood and plenty of space outside for the dog(s) to run around. Outside, there is a fireplace with some lounge chairs. The house also has a washer/dryer which was helpful during our stay. The kitchen had all the essentials needed as well. The downstairs basement is unfinished, but you will find a workout bench and a ping pong table. Since it’s an older home, the floor is not completely leveled and the finishing are not the latest. However, this did not take away from the wonderful time we had. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Anniversary trip
We try to go to the mountains every October. We enjoyed our stay here. Our dog like having a yard to run in. It was an easy 5-10 min drive to Blowing Rock and Blue Ridge Parkway

Close to the action but just far enough for peace and quiet
This house is the perfect place to relax and unwind. But when you want to be with the crowds it’s just a short drive to shopping, dining and sight seeing. I watched deer several days in the front of the house eating apples off a neighbors tree. Watched all kinds of birds, from hawks to hummingbirds on a daily basis. Has a great yard with a fire pit and a nice deck to cook out or just sit and read or have your morning coffee in the cool morning air. Just a great place all around !

Great location for hiking
Comfortable home, beds, guest amenities like white noise machine and phone chargers next to the bed. Water bottle/Brita jug in fridge. Very well laid out and also location not far from Blowing Rick. Quiet neighborhood. We loved every minute of it.

Great Stay!
We were very pleased with this VRBO!! So conveniently located to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Blowing Rock. The house was great for my husband and myself as well as our two dogs! The deck was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon wine and did not need to worry about dogs wondering off! House was well equipped. Thanks for a great stay!

Welcome to our VRBO listing! We're excited to share our mountain retreat with you. A bit about us: I bought this house back in 2005 when I lived here full-time. Later, life led me to Charlotte, NC, where I opened a bike shop and my wife started her private psychology practice.

We're now a family of three, with our energetic 5-year-old keeping us busy. Despite our busy lives, we never forgot the beauty of Blowing Rock, NC, and we're thrilled to offer our home to fellow travelers.

We understand the importance of pets, so we've made our home dog-friendly with amenities like dog beds, bowls, towels, and leashes. We want your furry friends to feel as welcome as you do.

Our aim is simple: to provide you with a comfortable space where you can enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Whether you're here for outdoor adventures or relaxation, we're here to make your stay memorable.

Pack your bags, bring your pups, and come experience Blowing Rock with us. We look forward to hosting you!
