About this property

GREAT Location. Private Cottage near Blowing Rock 4 wheel-drive needed in winter

Late Fall and Winter months you will need 4 wheel drive. The weather can change quickly in the High Country.

“Rocky Meadows" is our home my husband and I now use for short term vacation rental. "Rocky Meadows" is close to 221 but has a feeling of seclusion. Sits on 3 acres, no other houses visible. There are two bedrooms, a queen-size bed in one and a bunk that has a full-size bottom bed with a twin in the upper. The great room was designed with family time in mind. The covered back deck has a patio table chairs and gas grill for outdoor entertaining. We have a full basement that is pretty much empty except for the washer and dryer. Designed and built by the owners this simple cabin utilizes many re-purposed materials. The floors are oak drawer fronts that were free and obtained from a cabinet shop that closed. The walls and ceilings are finished yellow pine, the window and door casings have Sweet Gum boards. All of these boards were cut off the property then dried and milled.

Perfect Mountain retreat

This was the perfect place for me, my 2 elementary aged children and dog. Its close to downtown and not far from skiing/tubing. I had an issue related to weather (the driveway is very steep/snow) and the owners were so kind and helpful, even offering their own labor. I don't think you could find a better setup for a small family get away. My kids are already asking when we can go back! Oh! And the kids loved the ping pong, fooseball and air hockey set up in the basement.

Cute place and great location!

We enjoyed our stay! This cabin was perfect for our winter getaway and it was just a short drive to all our winter activities we had lined up- Beech mountain, Sledding hill, Hawksnest tubing, and Tweetsie Christmas. Plenty of dining options close by as well. Great communication with the owners. We arrived in NC a lot sooner, and the owners let us check in early after they were done cleaning. We loved the handmade soap too. We cannot recommend this property highly enough. Thank you—we will definitely be back!

Perfect little cabin!

My husband and I stayed here with our two dogs and loved it! The location is private but very close to downtown Blowing Rock. We loved the large back and front porches- they are prefect for coffee or wine. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We loved the fresh goat soap! Would love to stay here again!drincomfortable.

Cozy Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage, celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary. The wood walls and ceilings are beautiful and the back porch was very peaceful. It was very clear and had everything you need to be comfortable. The homemade soap was a nice touch. It was close to Blowing Rock, yet private. Will visit again!

Cute

Our 5 yr old grand daughter loved it. We wanted to take her “camping” and to Tweetsie Railroad. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in the fire pit. It’s well stocked and the home made soap is a nice touch. It was very close to Tweetsie’s. The owners let us in early since we made good time and arrived just as they finished cleaning. The code in the email sent was wrong, but they answered right away. A few cons; the mattresses could be better and the shower sprayer is pretty basic.

Has everything you want and need

Perfect location, close to area attractions yet still feels tucked away and secluded. Cabin has all you need for an extended stay with plenty of dining options and grocery store near by. If you prefer to stay in cabin has lots of streaming options, high speed Internet, puzzles and games. Cabin was clean and host was responsive. Will likely rebook.

About the host

Hosted by jennifer poarch

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Lenoir NC with our 5 sons, 4 daughter-in-laws, 5 grandchildren. I am an ER nurse, employed with Blue Ridge Health Care for the past 25 years. My husband is self-employed, pours concrete for a living and can do just about anything he sets his mind to.

Why they chose this property

Rocky Meadows is a special place. My father's great aunt, Minerva Walker Goldsmith, purchased this property around 1929 to spend summers away from the heat of Palm Beach. Aunt Bee was known for her modernist watercolor landscape and seascape paintings. She developed a love for the mountains and sold property to her friends, one being Phillip Moose, who established what is now Artist Alley. As a little girl, I loved spending parts of my summers in Blowing Rock which led to my attending Appalachian State and then eventually meeting my husband.

What makes this property unique

My husband and I built the cabin ourselves using re-purposed materials. What I love most about the cabin is the privacy that it provides. It is close to the road but offers a feeling of seclusion, it sits on 3 acres. It is completely surrounded by nature with no other homes in sight. While the cabin is secluded, it is just a short drive into town. There are restaurants, shopping and entertainment close by. It is also close to the Parkway, Moses Cone and Price Park.
