About this property

Escape to Almost Heaven for the ultimate Blowing Rock experience

Escape to Almost Heaven for the ultimate Blowing Rock experience. The ground floor retreat is nestled on a quiet lane with beautiful rock formations and stunning views from the large back deck. The back deck has four wooden rocking chairs and a view that will get you out of bed early in awe as the sun comes up over the mountains.
You'll want to enjoy each morning cup of coffee from here. Features include a large, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable living area with a pull-out sofa bed, desk (if work absolutely can’t wait!) and gas fireplace. The kitchen seats four at a pub-style table and features a Keurig machine, Crock Pot, and all that you need to make a meal at home. Choose between two beautifully decorated and well-appointed bedrooms - the deer room with full bath, garden tub and large walk-in closet or the mountain room with a full bath. A washer and dryer is available for use in the laundry room. Situated at the top of Ski Mountain, you’re almost as close to the slopes as it gets. The Blue Ridge Parkway less than 5 minutes away, downtown Blowing Rock less than 10 minutes and downtown Boone less than 15 minutes. Tweetsie is so close you can hear it's whistle of this much-loved area attraction. You'll smile each time you hear "choo choo!" You’re close to all that this incredible area has to offer or you can stay in, enjoy the beautiful home and take in the views, mountain breeze, and sounds of nature. We look forward to sharing our home with you!

Great location!
House was adorable and in a great location. We came up to ski and were just minutes from App Ski Mountain. Also, very close to the downtown in Blowing Rock.

Loved this place!
This is an exceptional stay for a small group. Good price and well-appointed. The management was responsive to our questions and mostly helpful. Our only 'complaint' is not the owner's fault--If you are getting a winter rental make sure that your vehicle can handle snow / ice or that the forecast is for clear weather. The driveway is steep. Once you get to the main road, it's all good as Appalachian mountain works hard to keep it clear. But again, a great place and nice owners.
