Blowing Rock is a unique small mountain village with many unique one of a kind shopping experiences and wonderful restaurants. We recommend going into the village or trying some of the local restaurants on the By Pass as well. Blowing Rock has beautiful hiking trails and nature at its finest. It is very mountainous and we recommend the views from the Via Duct on the Blue Ridge Parkway which is just out of town.

You will need a personal car for transportation most of the time although Uber has just come to town. We recommend four wheel drive vehicles in the winter months of January and February. The rest of the year the driveway is just fine and well maintained all year round.The village of Blowing Rock is a 5 minute drive to Main Street.

This home was built to take in all of the wonderful views of the mountains. It is the most comfortable home that I have ever lived in. You wake in the morning to the sounds of birds and nature and glorious sunrises! The view is to the south looking over the John River Gorge. The address is technically Lenoir NC but that is confusing. Lenoir is 20 miles away and this house sits high on the wooded Ridge line just 2.5 miles from the village of Blowing Rock. Yes, it only takes about 5 minutes to drive into the town! The area is Pisgah national Forest and is special in that this area will not be developed in the future due to the National Forest designation. In the winter the view is also very enchanting due to the fact that far, far in the distance you can see the East West corridor of I- 40. We call it the ribbon of lights that run just along the horizon line way out beyond the mountains. It highlights the beauty of the multi layered view of the mountains.

The cabin is on a gravel road and parking is beside the house. There is a turn around area available between the two cottages. We ask that you not use the turn around for parking as it is needed for turning around only.

A hidden gem

We absolutely loved staying at Ridgecrest! The cabin is adorable and the perfect size for two couples. We enjoyed a long weekend with friends, cooked in your lovely kitchen and sat on the deck and talked and enjoyed the amazing view for hours. I'm so glad we found it and will definitely be back!

Views you dream about

This small cabin is located on top of a ridge line with its own micro-climates passing through daily. The views are spectacular, 75 miles plus on a clear day. The cabin is perfectly furnished and equipped for a stay of any length and the layout with 2 master suites provides privacy as required. The wrap around deck, with covered front seating area, also provides multiple gathering areas. All in all a great cabin with an easy to work with owner.

Beautiful, well appointed cabin!

We found the cabin to be beautiful and very welcoming! You really only have to bring food! Everything else is provided for ( w/one exception; gas grill is on site, but no tank), a very comfortable stay! If you want beautiful views, this cabin has it! If you want to be close to Blowing Rock and still feel like your smack dab in the mountains, you'll be pleased with this cabin! I contacted Lisa via text a couple of times and she was very responsive! Thanks Lisa for a wonderful stay!

Tranquility and relaxation awaits in this perfectly appointed cottage!

We headed to Bailey Camp for a Friday-Sunday "off the grid" weekend. We were searching for a place to disconnect, relax, read, explore, and hike with our 2 dogs. This property was perfect and much nicer than the photos depict. Lisa was timely with communication and dinner recommendations. All finishes are new, clean, and well kept. The kitchen is well appointed and we lacked for nothing during our stay. The drive into Blowing Rock is under 10 minutes. This was exactly what we wanted and badly needed. We will be back!

Cute cabin in great condition; easy access to Blowing Rock.

We really liked the cabin for it's easy access to downtown Blowing Rock and the stunning views from the back deck. The host was extremely communicative and very helpful. House in like-new condition and very clean with great amenities (large deck, nice grill, fire pit, smart tv, modern kitchen, etc.). The main negative here is the location near a busy highway; you hear a lot of traffic all day long and even late at night as tractor trailer trucks use the road and have to brake for the hills. Very small yard space for kids. If you can live with the traffic noise the views are certainly stunning and the cabin itself is very cute. But we were hoping for something more quiet and relaxing.

Fabulous and comfortable mountain escape yet close to all!

We had the best week using this quaint, clean, and well-appointed cabin as a home base for our activities. We hiked, skied, shopped, and brewpub-hopped until we dropped. I love the Blowing Rock/Boone area and have to say that I felt such a warm and comfortable relief when we pulled up to the cabin each afternoon or evening after our excursions. It felt like home away from home. We hiked around the property with our pup to take in the amazing views. That was a morning and evening peaceful routine. And, definitely utilizing the wood burning stove most nights was a treat for this Florida couple. I know cooking on a gas cooktop in the kitchen was a highlight for my culinary-inclined husband. We hope to return in the future and stay in this wonderful mountain cabin. I’d give 6 stars if I could!

Amazing Cabin - but some noise issues

The property has amazing views and the cabin is neat, new, and very clean. The proximity to Blowing Rock cannot be beat. The owner is very responsive and courteous. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is that it is right on the highway, which is not apparent in the listing. And the road noise can be very loud. My wife and I had the windows open to get some fresh air in, and the noise from the highway (especially the trucks) kept us up all night. Rather than spend another sleepless night, we went home a day early. Again, this cabin has a lot of awesome features and I don't want to take away from that, but it was not a good fit as we were looking for a good night's rest.

Cozy and inviting with a breathtaking view…

The cabin was perfect for us! We visit the mountains annually with our granddaughter and her friend (10 year olds). Our destinations: Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain and Blowing Rock. The cabin was perfect in proximity. As our granddaughter said, “the cabin is cozy and inviting.” She most enjoyed the two tall chairs with her friend watching the sunset. The cabin has a “welcome home” feel we loved. You’ll find everything you need to prepare a meal and then to enjoy it from the beautiful table inside or the table on the deck, both have the same stunning view. We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit as it rained most of our visit, you’ll want to given the chance, it’s perfect. We did enjoy our coffee on the front porch each morning, same stunning view. We can’t say enough about the cabin, it is obvious much thought and preparation went into the design of the cabin and the grounds, and we are grateful Lisa chose to share it with us.

Perfect Mountain Retreat

My husband and I stayed here in January with our two children. Snow fell the night before we were arriving and made the road up to the cabin impassible. The owner called us that day to let us know what was happening, helped us find an alternative location for the night, and kept us updated throughout the day on the status of the cabin. We were able to arrive the next morning and the cabin is in perfect condition. The attention to detail and high quality furnishings are evident. The two bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and perfect for the four of us. It would also work well for two couples. The kitchen features high end appliances including a microwave, gas stove, and nice refrigerator. The beds are comfortable and the living room is so cozy on cold days and nights! On our last full day, we got snow and were unsure if we could get down the mountain. The owner even inquired to make sure we had groceries for the day. This is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed in the area and hope to return. Thank you for a great vacation!

Why they chose this property

We bought the lot in 2003 and have lived on this same ridge since this time. We loved it so much up here that we wanted to build some other cottages here that we could share with others.There are now two new cottages on this ridge. You wake in the morning to the sounds of birds and nature. You feel like you are on the top of the world in this cottage. The sunrises are spectacular.

What makes this property unique

There is a wonderful long range view south down the John River Gorge. There is a very comfortable deck with three separate outdoor spaces and a fire pit. The front features an outdoor covered sitting area.
