Great location in walking distance to downtown Blowing Rock for shopping and dining. It was clean with all the necessary amenities we needed. A bonus was the extra linens that were available. Easy check in/out.

Hi Tammy, We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Unfortunately since the house is on a slap with no attic, we are unable to add central air. This is why we have two mini splits in the master bedroom and the main living room, as well as air conditioning units installed in all other bedrooms. For the winter, these are used as a secondary option for heat, in addition to the baseboard heat throughout the house and a gas fireplace in the living room. We appreciate the feedback and hope your travels home went well!

The house was perfect for 5 ladies to spend a long weekend. The distance and terrain to go downtown was not suitable. No sidewalk and very steep walk. The house was very clean and stocked with plenty of supplies. The kitchen especially. The beds were very comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood. There was no noise traffic. The seating are was perfect. We all could recline!!!! Thanks for a great stay.

The property was an older building but updates had been done in the kitchen and bathrooms which was very nice. The layout was a little funky but would accommodate a larger group. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the lack of hot water. Only one person could shower at a time and then wait 45 min for the water to warm for the next person. Fix that and it would be great. Nice quite location within walking distance of town but a little bit of a treck for someone older or with mobility issues. Overall nice place to stay.

The owner was super kind and responsive to any questions. The home was clean and seemed recently renovated/updated. The location is great because the house is close to downtown, so it is easy to get to restaurants, shops, etc. Overall, it was a great stay and we would stay again in the future.

Great place for family vacation

Our stay was amazing, the house was very cozy and in great location. Only 5 min drive (20 min walk) to grocery store and 10 min drive to Appalachian ski. Perfect place for family vacation. We had a great time. Thank you.

5 Star Experience

This was the loveliest home and probably the most well stocked and cleanest place we’ve ever booked for a vacation. The location was convenient to downtown but still felt like country living! Absolutely wonderful and we can’t wait to visit again!!

Weekend in the Mountains

We loved our stay in Emily’s Carriage House! It was exactly as described, and was charming. There was plenty of room for five adults and two children, and had ample family gathering space as well. It was a 10 minute walk to town (as advertised), and provided a private and lovely mountain respite.

Relaxing

Owner was great with communication. Home Decorated nicely. The kitchen was well stocked With dishes & towels. Bedrooms were good size. Bathrooms with linens and good size. Downstairs bed & bath really nice. Small no door trundle bedroom could use a door. (It’s right off kitchen) Comfy upstairs living room. Laundry room upstairs a plus. Convenient to downtown. Great stay!

Family Ski trip

Property was easy to find and cute. Host was easy to communicate with. It is 2 story, which was detailed. Downstairs, the only TV and sitting area is in daybed room off kitchen. We spent a lot of time at dining table as family since that was only area downstairs to sit together while cooking and such.Please note, living room is upstairs with TV.House was clean and had all we needed. The only negative was island in kitchen. It was wooden and lots of food buildup in cracks.Bathrooms, beds all great. We would stay again. Close to all places we enjoy.

Amazing Location

We were a group of 3 moms and our 3 sons. The home was very clean, upgrades throughout, plenty of space, nice modern touches yet very cozy and blowing rock/cabin themed. The moms enjoyed having our own thermostat in each room. Was great that we could all be comfortable. We also enjoyed the large dining table and were able to play card games with the kids each night. The kids loved the bonus room with the trundle. They were very comfortable and we all had plenty of room. Kitchen had lots of supplies - but the restaurants were so close by we didn’t use them. Very short walk to all the restaurants and shoppes. We would love to stay again.

We'll be back.

Super comfortable. Discovered we didnt have toaster but a quick mesaage to Emily and we had one that day. Only one minor complaint, the ad says 2 twin beds but it is a twin and rollout trundle which isnt real suitable for aduts in their late 60s. Lol. But one of our group canceled last minute so did'nt even matter. We came fir an annual sports car event and if we dont come next year to stay there, we will highly recommend The Carriage House!
