Perfect location for activities and relaxation

I really enjoyed my stay. We were in town for a little league baseball tournament. This gave my family of five room to stretch out. The location was perfect, close to town and many other activities, but still tucked away with a feel of the mountains. After each game, the house was a great place to relax!

Hideaway close to town

Fantastic location. Wonderful natural setting with a convenient fire pit with chairs surrounding made the hotdogs and s’mores great. Easy drive to Boone or blowing rock. Four-wheel-drive may be recommended during winter season, especially if any snow accumulation, but this summer it was easily accessible with our Honda CRV. Lastly, I slept extraordinarily well with the excellent bedding.

Perfect location, perfect host

The rental was in the perfect location for access to skiing, tubing, and Tweetsie Railroad- all activities that we planned for our young family. The real shining star of this rental is the host, Tamara! She was so incredibly attentive, responded quickly, and when we left a few valuable items behind in the haste of packing up three young kids, Tamara helped us recover the items- immediately easing our stress! Thank you Tamara!

Cozy Mountain Retreat easy access to Boone, Blowing Rock, and Multiple Lakes!

My family and I are in love with this cozy mountain retreat! This is our second visit to this location and the property was once again spotless with some lovely new amenities. The 3 spacious queen size beds, modern kitchen, easy access laundry, convenient covered parking, fast WiFi - it has it all! The owner was incredibly responsive and had some fantastic local recommendations for us (shout out to Boonshine and Hatchet Coffee!). The whole family enjoyed the quiet and calm. The kids were able to have easy access to roam and explore - and of course, smores by the campfire. Everything was on site and convenient! Looking forward to a third stay and to enjoying the nearby lakes, family friendly breweries/restaurants, hiking, and fishing!

What a great little cottage to stay at, and especially great for kids. The place was perfectly clean, and we love that there was not a lot of knickknacks and breakable things around. It is nicely decorated but no extra junk everywhere. Love that. It is very comfortable and cozy, seems like everything is brand new! There’s even a great little office that doubles as a playroom for kids and even with some toys, games, and books to share. Great little kitchen, with some of the best pots, pans, and knives we have ever had at a rental stay. If I had to find a negative, the only complaint is that the stairs are actually quite loud. Loved the stay, thanks so much.

Awesome Mountain Stay

The property was as perfect place for our quick trip to the mountains. Near Blowing Rock and App Ski Mountain. The house was clean and easy to access. We liked using the outdoor fire pit on the cold evening. We loved the house and will be back in the future.

Mixed opinions

Property location was good. House was clean and recently updated. My only complaint is the mattresses need to be replaced. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the mattress sagged in the middle and provided very little support. I notified the host and she said she would look into it after our stay.

This house was just a couple of minutes off the main highway in a quiet neighborhood. Very quick and easy access to Boone or Blowing Rock. This house was clean and just the right size for our family of four. Tamara was a very thoughtful and engaged host.

About the host

Hosted by Tamara

Host profile image
We are a family of five who likes to get away from city life and enjoy relaxing in the mountains! We want to share our home with you, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

In selecting a home for our family, we wanted to find place that was like entering a different word. Even though it is a short drive from nearby locations, the high elevation of the area gives Blowing Rock a totally different climate; we love being able to go someplace cool in the summer and to have snow adventures in the winter!

What makes this property unique

The house makes you feel like you are in a woodsy getaway, but you are still close to all the comforts of life! There are tons of options of things to do, eat, and see - all within just a few minutes of the house.
