About this property

MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO BOOK

Welcome to Misty Mountain Cabin!

If you are looking to get back to nature while still having the comforts of town, discover this hidden treasure just two (2) miles off Main Street in downtown Blowing Rock. Surrounded by Pisgah National Forest on almost all sides, this 3BR 2.5BA cabin opens up to long-range mountain views!

Suitable for a romantic weekend or a family gathering, this cozy cabin has comfortable accommodations for up to eight. On the main floor, enjoy long-range mountain views from the open great room and dining area. After an active day enjoying nature or shopping and dining in Blowing Rock, gather for a meal or a board game around a lovely artisan, hand-crafted dining table that can seat up to 8 people, right off the well-stocked kitchen. A wood-burning stove, recliner-rockers, a flat-screen TV, a 5-person hot tub, and vaulted ceilings allow you to enjoy the mountain ambiance regardless of any inclement weather.
*Firewood available for purchase after booking. Please contact Carolina Cabin Rentals if interested.*

After a day of fresh mountain air, enjoy a deep, restful sleep on the memory foam King bed in the main floor king master suite. The master also has a wall-mounted HDTV, a spacious full bathroom featuring an oversized jetted tub, and a walk-in closet located down the hall from the main living and dining areas. There is a half-bath/powder room convenient to guests just off the great room. Downstairs, find two (2) more bedrooms, a second full bath, a laundry room, and a second living space with a nice fire feature where you can relax with a book or for a friendly game of chess.

Outdoors, enjoy a covered front porch, a large open-air back deck, a fenced yard, a stone patio, a stacked stone fire pit with a picnic table and folding chairs, a five (5) person hot tub, and a level parking area. Begin your day with breakfast at the back deck table, or end the day contemplating amazing sunsets in the deck rocking chairs. For a different long-range mountain view, another patio set is available on the lower stone deck, which has access to a large fenced-in yard.

Whatever your vacation needs, you will leave Misty Mountain renewed and refreshed. Welcome!

*Access to Misty Mountain is via a state-maintained road (though bumpy and gravel) from the center of Blowing Rock for 2 miles. Guests should be prepared to drive slowly. 4WD is necessary during winter weather. Motorcycles are not recommended on this road.*

What a View!

The place was just as described! It had such a beautiful view. I literally dropped my bag and went straight to the window upon arrival having a clear view of Grandfather Mountain! It was so majestic! The place was nice and clean. The jetted tub needed some TLC though. The hot tub felt fabulous. A few of the jets were not working, and the radio did not work on the hot tub either, but we didn’t care. We were there for nature! Dishwasher was hit and miss, but I prefer hand washing anyway. The house is VERY close to town, but it feels like you are miles and miles away with the views. WiFi was not great, but honestly it was a selling point for me! They had some nice yard games, and puzzles. I loved the selection of books too on that rainy day! The road into the cabin, the last 2 miles IS a dirt road. We did not mind one bit. Just take your time. If you’re not used to that sort of thing, you will be used to it by day two. Other than the bathtub needing care before use, the only other complaint was there was no instructions. Most rentals I’ve had in the past leave a list of trash days, things needed done before check out as some places want the beds stripped, some want you to just leave them. We missed trash day as there was no instruction, and as there were not city cans, we thought trash trucks didn’t come up that way. We were wrong. On the way back from a whole day away we saw empty cans in driveways. We enjoyed the falls and white water rafting nearby! Awesome trip!

Level Up Retreat

We are so happy that we chose Misty Mountain Cabin for my dear friend Violet’s 33rd birthday 🎉 We wanted a secluded space where we could focus on hiking and spend time by the fire 🔥 and the hot tub. While the weather didn’t cooperate for the hiking, this is where we discovered some of the hidden gems of this property. There is a wonderful collection of board games, puzzles and books downstairs and the dining room table with its bench seating was ideal for our group to gather around the table and work together to finish a 750 piece puzzle and enjoy some board games as well. The wood burning stove was a wonderful source of warmth. Grabbed some firewood bundles from the Speedway in town and we enjoyed a great amount of time sitting by the fire 🔥 Great setup for families and blended groups with the bunk beds and a separate queen sized bedroom downstairs and a comfy long bedroom upstairs.

Perfect weekend getaway

We had everything we needed for our little family getaway in the mountains. The cabin was tucked back in on the mountain which allowed for the feeling of total privacy and seclusion from the world. On the flip side, it was quite a long, windy road to get to and from town! Perfect location, but be prepared to drive on a dirt road to a from town. Loved the view, wouldn’t trade that!

Hoped for something little nicer for the Price

Thankfully I decided to arrive few hours earlier, 6:30 pm, because the door code I was given, was not valid. After spending about 15 minutes on the phone, I was finally able to get into the house. Mind you, it was about 35 degrees with wind gusts up to 50 mph that day, so it was challenging to stay and try inputting several codes. The outside of the house, ie; the grounds, mulch beds, and yard. Was covered in leaves, clearly had not been touched since last year. The road to this rental is treacherous, gravel, washed out, big potholes, extremely bumpy, and I couldn’t imagine how difficult it must be in inclement weather. The 3 neighboring houses, were run down, yards full of old cars machinery and trash, and not very appeasing to drive by to and from the cabin. The fireplace was nice to have, as it was very cold that weekend and windy. If you need Wifi, don’t count on it working well for you, it was spotty, barely worked when connected. The TV’s are outdated. The WiFi, doesn’t really work, so Netflix prime etc, for night time viewing was out. The sound bar in living room didn’t work. Thankfully we only stayed in the upstairs master, the basement stays quite cold, even with heat on, it didn’t seem to get above 65. I asked for a later checkout, as 10am seems very early for a vacation retreat checkout. Was charged for extra 4 hours, even though my check in was not as planned, and no renters were coming in after us…The house and bathrooms were clean. The drywall and paint in the house were very poorly done and took away from the beauty of the interior for me. The views were definitely spectacular, and we enjoyed the hot tub. Overall the stay was ok, however for the amount of money I spent, I was not satisfied with my experience.

Nice place to stay

The experience there was ok. Got there at 6pm and our code was expired, there was no phone communication from there so we had to return to the main city to be able to call them for a new code. The mattress for the master bedroom is a shame, I wouldn't go back for that reason, old and uncomfortable, the rest of the cabin is very nice and cozy, everything we needed was there. They only clean where you see, under the beds was a little dirty and there was empty bottles of body lotion, that probably belonged to other previous guests (never cleaned). We were also concerned about safety since the cabin is isolated and one time we got back home and the back gate was opened, we called the police. Call the management company and they said alarm is not activated, nothing to do. If you need internet to work, their internet is very slow, we even tried with the ethernet cable and we couldn't do much.

There is something WRONG here

Where to start? There was no hot water at our rental and after waiting 24 hours for resolution to this issue (as in 2pm on our final day) we were told no one could come until a week and a half later (?). We were offered the option to find another place to stay for a refund on that night's stay (not the first night) or a discount if we stayed. Not much of an option. In this time, rentals promise extra cleaning measures and yet this home was cleaned without the cleaning crew noticing that there was no hot water??? The hot tub water was so dirty that it was not usable in the time we were there. Perhaps the people before us needed to use it for showers. This experience was an eye opener. VRBO does not protect renters.

Overall Great

Loved the location. It was nestled in the perfect spot. After talking, we would’ve loved if the hot tub was covered under the porch or on the deck.. we missed out on using it some because of the rain. It was also a pain to walk barefoot through gravel to get to it. Loved the inside of the house, but the jacuzzi jets did not work, and that was a bummer! All in all, we’d stay here again...

Nice Cabin

Overall, for our first time to ski, it was a blast. Cabin was nice and clean. Only negative, we spent over 8 hours trying to get up the mountain from the cabin. 2.5 mile ride. If you’re coming during the winter weather, PLEASE be advised and bring anything necessary to get up the mountain because there is no pavement and it ices QUICK.

Misty Mountain Cabin stay

What should have been a peaceful getaway for my 20th anniversary turned out to be a memorable event and not in a good way. First on the way up to the property I received a call that the hot tub and the dishwasher did not work and a contractor was en route to fix both. Upon arrival there was no evidence of any work completed and did not work as expected. During the entire stay the hot tub was broken and did not work. This was a big reason why I selected this property. Next was the unexpected visitors (bugs) in the house especially in the master bedroom. There were many ladybugs and stink bugs and my wife and I found live stink bugs in the bed on both nights of our stay. I took the vacuum at the property and cleaned the room myself. It was evident that the prior "cleaning fee" I was charged did not happen at this property sufficiently. Finding bugs in your bed 2 nights in a row REALLY takes away from your comfort and experience. Needless to say I will never stay at this property again. Very disappointed and not the memories I wanted for my 20th anniversary.

Nice cabin but.....

Stayed here before, always a nice place to stay but some issues this time. Some items that need to be checked are: stove top burners (not all of them function properly), the jacuzzi tub in the MB (jets don't turn on, only got it to work once), tv remote for living room TV was missing, no starter soap for dishwasher, trash can bags, paper towels. Hard surface Floor was dirty upon entry as well. Just some issues that probably needs addressing, other than that great place to stay!

Please bring some instructions for the hot tub. We did not know how to increase or decrease the watter temperature. The lights in the bottom rooms where blinking all the time, we had to keep them off. Despite this, we all enjoyed our staying in this wonderful place.
