About the host

Hosted by Emily Roberts

Host profile image
Hi there! We're your hosts, and we're so glad you're considering a stay at The Carriage House.

We live right here in beautiful Blowing Rock and feel incredibly lucky to call this charming mountain town our home. Just outside of nearby Boone, we run a local pottery community studio—it's a place where creativity, community, and the slower pace of mountain life all come together. Whether we’re throwing clay, hiking a local trail, or walking into town for coffee, we never take this area for granted—and we love getting to share a bit of that magic with our guests.

Hosting is something we truly enjoy. We’ve designed The Carriage House to be cozy, comfortable, and walkable to everything Blowing Rock has to offer because that’s how we love to travel ourselves. Whether you're here for the hiking, shopping, skiing, or simply relaxing, we’re happy to share tips, favorite spots, or just give you space to enjoy your trip.

Blowing Rock is a small town, but it’s full of heart, natural beauty, and special places that keep people coming back year after year. It brings us real joy to help others discover why this little corner of the Blue Ridge is so special.

Thanks for checking out our place—we hope it feels like a home away from home for you, just like it does for us.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful mountain living with the convenience of being just a short walk to everything Blowing Rock has to offer. Tucked among native mountain laurels and surrounded by trees, the area has a quiet, natural feel that makes you feel immersed in the mountains the moment you arrive.

One of our favorite things about this location is how connected it is to nature while still being incredibly close to town. Within just a few minutes' walk, you can grab a morning coffee, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, browse through charming shops, or spend an afternoon at the beautiful town park. The park is a true community hub—with tennis courts, pickleball, volleyball, a playground, and even a seasonal town pool. It's a great place to relax, play, or just people-watch.

The Blowing Rock Art & History Museum is also nearby, and it's a must-visit for anyone who enjoys local culture and creativity. And for outdoor lovers, hiking trails and Bass Lake are just down the road, offering peaceful paths and scenic views right in town.

This neighborhood is the kind of place where you can park your car and not need it again for days. It's quiet enough to unwind and enjoy nature, but full of small-town charm and activity. We love the slower pace, the friendly faces, and the mix of art, nature, and community. It’s a place where you can truly feel at home—and we’re always excited to share it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes The Carriage House truly special is the combination of space, comfort, and unbeatable location. It’s rare to find a home that feels tucked away in nature but is still within easy walking distance to everything downtown Blowing Rock has to offer—and that’s exactly what our place provides.

Guests love that they can park the car and leave it. A short stroll takes you to Main Street, where you’ll find fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, local boutiques, galleries, and the town park. Whether you’re in the mood for hiking, shopping, playing pickleball, or catching live music in the park, it’s all just minutes away on foot.

Inside, the home is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, making it perfect for families or groups. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a bonus movie room with a twin daybed and trundle, there’s room for everyone to spread out and relax. After a full day of exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway or hitting the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain, you’ll appreciate coming back to a cozy space where you can unwind.

The full kitchen is great for those who like to cook a few meals at home—whether it’s a big breakfast before heading out or a casual dinner after a busy day. And with plenty of parking, there’s no stress if you’re traveling with multiple vehicles or coming back late from a day trip.

We’ve designed The Carriage House to be a welcoming home base—comfortable, clean, and convenient, with little touches that make your stay easier and more enjoyable. It’s a place to reconnect, recharge, and make lasting memories while discovering everything Blowing Rock and the surrounding High Country have to offer.
