About this property

Luxury Home in exclusive Sweetgrass gated community 10 mins to Blowing Rock

4 bedroom, 3 full bath modern mountain home on one acre wooded lot in the exclusive Sweetgrass gated community.

Our Blowing Rock home is in an exclusive gated development called Sweetgrass, located next to Julian Price Park off of the Blue Ridge Parkway and 221, just 10 minutes from Blowing Rock. The community offers maintained paved streets, private large stocked lake, free use of canoes, trout stream and hiking trails. The lake is Sweetgrass Lake which feeds into the well known Price Lake and the stream is Boone Fork Creek.

The home is a 2,000 sf, two level modern mountain home with furnishings from West Elm. The home features lots of natural light and contemporary finishes. There are a total of four bedrooms and three baths and the home sleeps 12 in beds comfortably. There are two equal master bedrooms with king beds and equal baths including tile showers, dual vanities, and private toilet room. No more drawing straws for the best room. The third room includes one queen size bed and a twin bunk. The fourth room is a bunk room with two full/twin bunks (two twin beds and two full beds) that sleeps four. The full beds are at the bottom of the bunks and perfect for most adults. Here is a recap of the bed count: Master bedroom 1 = (1) king bed; Master bedroom 2 = (1) king bed; room 3 = (1) queen bed & (2) twin beds in one bunk bed; bunk room 4 = (2) full beds & (2) twin beds in two bunks.

The home has a ton of windows and is a very bright home. There is a wrap around covered deck with a wood-burning fireplace. The interior finishes and furnishings are modern which include shiplap on the walls, wood flooring, cedar beams, kitchen wood shelves, wall & bath sconces, wood floors, etc. Each floor has its own designated AC/heat unit for maximum comfort. The electric fireplace/heater in the family room can be run without heat creating the perfect cozy effects in the summer. There is high speed streaming WiFi and a TV located in the family room with full cable. There are also two additional TV's; one in an upstairs loft with Nintendo Wii and one in the bunk room with an old version of Xbox360. Feel free to have the kids bring their own gaming systems and hook them up. There is a landline phone in the home. The home is very clean and we do not allow smoking or pets.

The home is situated on a one acre lot on a cul-de-sac. It is truly private yet within a very exclusive neighborhood. The lot is wooded with a level yard area perfect and safe for kids to run around and play. There are two ground level patios, one with a barbecue and metal dining table and the other with a fire pit perfect for telling stories and roasting marshmallows. The driveway is asphalt and can easily support four cars.

The property and Sweetgrass community can be found on google maps and on the internet, search Sweetgrass, Blowing Rock and you will find the community website with great images of the lake. There is a gate code, that will be provided prior to check-in. As a guest you will have full access to canoes and the lake. Please note that the Lakehouse is for homeowners only and the community quite times are 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. This is truly a private lake experience and peaceful environment and we ask that all guests respect the community rules while you enjoy the amazing lake amenities.

Home improvements which are pending new photography: All wood flooring (no carpet), new fire pit chairs, new patio table, artwork throughout the home. Pictures are pending. We had a lapse in rental for the 2022 year as we made some improvements and enjoyed the home for our own use, this is why we do not have reviews during this time.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions and certainly please feel free to submit your booking request. Due to internet scams and email phishing, I only accept payments through VRBO. We hope to make our home your favorite place to stay and return every year.

Great Stay

Our family had a great time on our stay. The house was in a beautiful, peaceful location and the interior was well appointed and kid friendly. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit and fishing in the community lake!

Wonderful home in the woods

Our family group (adults and 3 younger children) had a long weekend stay and could not recommend this house more. The house was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. We did a lot of activities (Grandfather Mountain, Alpine rollercoaster, exploring Boone) which were all easily accessible from this location. We certainly enjoyed the firepit at the house and the wooded neighborhood was such a bonus! It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed evening strolls to the community lake. We never used the TV or multiple gaming systems but it was nice to know they were there in case of a rainy day. The host made himself available but they had thought of all the details we’d need so we never needed to reach out. If you are looking for a comfortable, relaxing home base while exploring the area, this should suit your needs.

Paradise in Blowing Rock

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during my family’s trip to gawk at the stunning fall foliage. It’s a wonderful, very comfortable, and clean home with great amenities. The home was spacious enough for our family of 6, although it could easily accommodate more people. The downstairs bedroom with an en-suite full bathroom was convenient for my elderly parents. We absolutely loved all the beautiful trails available within the community as well as the lake. The location is perfect for drives up the Blue Ridge Parkway as well as quick trips to Blowing Rock and Boone. Very responsive and informative host. We were sad to leave this little piece of paradise! Highly recommend ++++

September 2023

We had a fantastic stay. This property was perfect for us, my mother is in her late 70's and has limited mobility and she was able to access all common areas with little to no problem. The master downstairs and a second one upstairs and a second room with a queen made it perfect for more than one family to share. The property has everything that you would need. The location was very convenient for trips into Blowing Rock and the community lake was a great location for fishing and for the kids to run around. We have all talked about making this an annual trip when it is cooler so we can make use of the firepit and the outside fireplace.

Blowing Rock family weekend

My family came to the area for me to do a run over Grandfather Mountain and boy we couldn’t have found a better place for our family! We have little kids who love playing on trails and in water, both of which we could walk to from the doorstep. My parents and aunt and uncle came to see our kids and the home accommodated everyone very well, tough for 6 adults and 3 kids under 5. The community was quiet and friendly, and very convenient to everything we needed. I’ll just say Go Vols to close it out.

Rain, Rain, Rain, Did Not Go Away!

Great place when the weather is not raining! We had rain every day for 5 days straight. There is not much to do when it’s raining and we all got a little cranky. Not the owners fault but important to be aware of if the weather does not cooperate. Unfortunately, the weather did affect our overall experience and will probably not return. The bed situation was not ideal for our family and the bunk beds were not very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was spotty but I imagine that’s the way it is in the mountains. There was plenty of pots and pans but not very many mixing bowls. There is not a blender or hand mixer either. Also, we ran out of toilet paper and paper towels so bring extra. The outdoor fireplace was a nice touch.

Thanksgiving Stay in Blowing Rock!

We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the cabin! We had 6 kids and 4 adults and the space, beds were perfect! And I have to say that the bedding, pillows were some of the most comfortable I have ever stayed on. And it was this was throughout the entire cabin-all beds! We loved the pard for the kids-they could run around, play, search for deer! We saw many deer just in the backyard, it was so cool to watch them. Beautiful! We enjoyed many firepit nights- firepit area was a great bonus! We cooked our thanksgiving meal at the cabin-kitchen was lacking some items but if you aren’t making a huge thanksgiving meal (we just grabbed casserole tins at Publix) you will be fine! Well stocked for your average meals. Location was great, close to town. And the WiFi, internet in house was great! Which is super hard to find in the mountains! Thank you Bill for opening up your cabin-we had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home! We hope we can come back one day. Our trip was cut short due to an accident one of our granddaughters had. My one suggestion would be to have a waste basket in the master bath downstairs. It would be nice to have one in each of the bedrooms also.

Perfect mountain escape

This is the second time we have rented this house and it is a perfect mountain getaway. For summer or fall, the hiking trails, lake, and proximity to the town is perfect. This house is very well kept with everything you need ready to go when you get there. I can’t say enough about the owners and how helpful they are with anything you need. Highly recommend!

Wonderful home that is comfortable for everyone!!

We stayed here for the month of July 2021. This is one of the best homes that we have ever rented in a spectacular neighborhood. The home is beautifully furnished with new, confortable beds, well equipped, clean and modern. Unlike many of the homes in the area it has a large, flat yard with a fire ring, where grandchildren can safely play and make s'mores .It is even equipped with a corn hole set. The lake at the Sweetgrass community is about a mile away and we spent lovely afternoons playing on the beach and enjoying the canoes and kayaks provided by the community. Sweetgrass is a few minutes from Julius Price Park and Moses Cone Park, which provided a tremendous selection of trails to hike. It was a perfect month!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Lorenzo

Host profile image
We are Bill and Gina from Charlotte NC. We completed construction of our mountain home in 2017. We have six children and enjoy spending time in Blowing Rock whenever we get a break from our hectic schedules. Our oldest son attended ASU.

Why they chose this property

This will be our second home that we have had in the Blowing Rock area and consider this one very special because of the Sweetgrass community. We love the fact that you can go for a stroll without having to navigate gravel roads or rough terrain as everything is paved but yet you can have adventures with trail hiking, lake swimming, canoeing or fishing without every leaving the community.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy a private large lake and never see anyone even on the busiest Blowing Rock holidays.
