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.

THE Blowing Rock view

The cabin and property were immaculate. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need and more. They’ve done a nice job designing the cabin for the property. On the one side Highway 321 is a bit noisy, but the living and deck areas face a spectacular view of the valley below the actual Blowing Rock on the other side. It’s super close to town and very convenient for travel, hiking, etc.

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.

Lisa : The cabin was like staying at a Mini Resort. It had everything we needed for our stay. Furnishing are top of the line. If you are looking for some place to eat go to the Foggy Rock for Dinner and the Sunny Rock for Breakfast.

The Perfect Location!

We were so pleasantly surprised with this vacation rental! First of all, I think this was the most CLEAN home we’ve ever rented. It smelled amazing upon entry and everything was immaculate. The location is perfect, only 5 minutes to the grocery store and beautiful downtown Blowing Rock. My boys (age 1 and 3) thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor spaces, both the wrap around porch and the fire pit area, and we spent a significant amount of time outdoors. My husband was pleasantly surprised by the Wilmington grill on the porch — so nice having a high end grill instead of the usual cheap ones that burn everything they touch ;-) Regarding the reviews that mention road noise, there is noise from nearby 321 (the house sits high on a ridge above the highway) but we never found it to be disruptive. The long range mountain views from the fire pit and porch, and proximity to local attractions, far outweigh the occasional passing truck. I’ve already recommended this home to multiple friends and definitely plan to return!

Amazingly beautiful and relaxing

The property was cleaner than any other rental we have stayed in. We came prepared with extra paper products and cleaning products. The property was perfectly cleaned and ready to enjoy so leave your extras at home. The views are amazing and so relaxing. This property was well thought out. The lay out of the cabin, the design and the decoration are luxurious. The kitchen has all the necessities even for an amateur chef and the grill was beyond top of the line. We enjoyed every second we spent at the property. The girls explored around and found sticks to roast marshmallows while parents enjoyed the views and the fire pit. We can’t wait to stay at your cabin again.

Couples Mountain Trip

The property location is awesome! My wife and I stayed for a week and if we had not left the house we wouldn’t have seen a single person all week. So close to town yet on complete privacy. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking to be in mountain seclusion and still have all the amenities of town at hand.

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.

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.
