Time
Arrived after 6 pm. Directions were a bit misleading and no outside lights were on. Complete dark outside and inside…even driveway with no barrier at end and almost dropped off end where a tree had been cut down and no way of knowing driveway was bout to end.Home was clean and had plenty of space. Did wash all sheets and towels prior to leaving today and everything was as we found it. Close to towns and skiing areas. Convenient.

The house size and layout was great.
The house was great open space so we could all enjoy our time together. I loved sitting on the front porch in the morning drinking coffee. Very close to everything. The only thing was the floor s needed to be cleaned and some dusting. But the beds were clean and so were the bathrooms. Yes I would stay there again.

nice location, great house
The house was comfortable and roomy with a lovely wrap around porch perfect for sipping coffee in the mornings. We enjoyed being so close to some great hikes, and downtown Blowing Rock. The fall was the perfect time to visit!

Outstanding!
My family and I just returned home from a wonderful mini vacation in beautiful Blowing Rock, NC. Our stay was perfect in this gorgeous home. It was immaculate, well appointed and cozy. The views from the deck were amazing. This home was very conveniently located only minutes from Main St. in Blowing Rock and a short drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just a perfect location! My husband, two sons and I can’t say enough good things about our experience here.
