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.
We had a great time staying at the house. We loved how close it was to the various attractions in Boone. We were happy to find a baby gate and pack-n-play in the closet too.
The property is so convenient to everything! We were minutes from App and lots of restaurants etc. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need.
Nestled near Boone and Blowing Rock this was there perfect choice for our stay. Our host were incredibly accommodating and on point with any and all communication. Will recommend and likely be back soon!
Exceeded expectations for the first time renting a vacation spot! Loved the Christmas tree still being up as this was our family Christmas trip. Thanks so much!
This "Retreat" is well-named; private but a short drive from it all. Comfortable beds; very clean; excellent communications with owner. The canopy of trees over the front yard was the perfect place for morning coffee.
We booked this house for our daughter’s first trip to Tweetsie and to see the mountains. She was in awe. The location between Boone and Blowing Rock is hard to beat. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. We plan to stay again soon!
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!
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.
Tamara was easy to reach and communicate with. She promptly answered all our questions. House was very clean and well stocked. Location was great. It was close to multiple towns and attractions. Would stay here again!
Location is between Blowing Rock and Boone. Restaurants close proximity as well as groceries. Tweetsie Railroad close by we could hear the train whistle 😊. Nice cottage home perfect size for me and my adult daughter. We would definitely choose this home again when visiting this area.

About the host
Hosted by Tamara
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.
