Discover the perfect blend of modern comfort and mountain charm at The Front Cottage, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage tucked away on a quiet, wooded street just steps from downtown Blowing Rock.

Great location

We enjoyed our long weekend. Emily reached out and had extra salt delivered if we needed it in case of weather. Home as described and was perfect for the 7 of us. Location was perfect in the heart of Blowing Rock and only a 10 min. Drive to App ski resort. Would recommend!
