Everything was great from the accuracy of the listing to the excellent communication from our host, which made our amazing trip even more awesome! We are grateful for all the suggestions for adventures that our host provided and checked most of those off our activities bucket list! This property was a convenient location for everything we needed and wanted to do. We would definitely rebook if we ever return to the area! Thank you for everything!
The location is perfect, being between Boone and Blowing Rock, with access to NC, VA, TN, SC loops.

Maria, we are thrilled that you found the place to have all the amenities you needed. And we agree that it is so convenient to be close to both the peacefulness of the mountains and all the amenities of town!
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 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.

Chris - we are so happy you enjoyed our home and hope to see you back.
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.

So glad you found the home to be the retreat you were looking for. We too enjoy the trees and quiet feel of the yard!
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!

Amanda, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We too love the proximity to Tweetsie, and hearing the whistle blow softly outside in the evenings is a real treat.
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!

Candie, we are so happy to receive your positive feedback. Decorating for the Christmas holiday is one of the traditions we have at our home - and we are glad you got to enjoy it. We hope to see you back!
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!

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.
