LOCATION: Situated on a peaceful wooded private upscale residential mountain area directly off Blue Ridge Parkway and located 6 miles between Blowing Rock and Boone and all the High-Country amenities (skiing, hiking, fly fishing, Arts and shows at Appalachian State.). Although Mountain 2 Sea provides a family-friendly Mountain Get-away it is 1 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway and perfectly situated between Boone and Blowing Rock. and other attractions (Tweetsie Railroad 4.5 miles), Blowing Rock Town center (5.5 miles), Appalachian Ski Mtn (6 miles), Boone (7 miles), Grandfather Mtn (20 miles), Hawksnest (21 miles), Sugar Ski Mtn (23 miles), Beach Ski Mtn (30 miles).

My favorite rooms: are the Wood Beamed Loft with Wide Board Pine Planked Flooring and a bookcase full of books for your reading pleasure. It's a great place to escape the crowd and curl on the sofa with a great book! Finally, sitting on the front porch swing surrounded by native rhododendrons.

I know many of my guests love the multiple public, but private spaces this house includes due to 4 public rooms (versus the norm of 1 great room) and multiple-level decks and porches. There are many spots to find a private moment or change your view. My view is always the wooded wonderland.

Great Thanksgiving getaway

Me, my family and our friends had a great time for our Thanksgiving trip. The home owner was great to work with, very responsive. After the hurricane hit, we weren't sure what to even expect, but she kept us updated, and let us know when things were opening back up. The house was the perfect size. We had 2 families which included 5 adults, and 5 kids age range 9-13 and it was prefect. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Multi family Christmas trip

Three families including grandparents and pets had a great time staying at this property. We cooked dinner each night but could’ve used sharper knives. Outdoor spaces looked great but unfortunately we had terrible weather and couldn’t take advantage. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, linens and pillows. Owners had excellent communication and quick response. I would recommend this place to large families. Only 15- 20 minute drive To shopping and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
This was a labor of love. We built the home and created our dream home over many years. Starting with a small cabin in the woods (then adding on 1500 sq foot with a dream kitchen/family room). We drove the builders crazy with our steadfast resolve to keep every tree possible. You will find trees built into the decks and kids playground. We love to travel and explore the outdoors and Culture! We moved for an educational opportunity. We share our home to allow us to subsidize our Wanderlust; traveling to Costa Rica, Colorado, Alaska, Europe and Asia! Travel; including Cultural and Adventure and showing our children the world is what we value most! We hope you enjoy our home. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910)

Why they chose this property

You will find love in every single nail built in this home! If you love nature, woods, family, quite and fun spaces, and hiking I can assure you, you will love this home. There are so many Public spaces that everyone can find a space. We hosted a wedding party for a family friend; you would find people: in quiet reflection on front porch swing, kids playing loud in Gameroom (limited sound upstairs), sitting and reading in the quiet loft, others in front of fire in great room, finally multiple cooks in family room while kids enjoyed some films. The awesome thing about the dining room is that you can close the space for adult conversations. Outdoor spaces galore; all in a setting with an "outdoor room" creation. In the summer the Hummingbirds will buzz past your head while you enjoy the hot tub and native Rhododendron.

What makes this property unique

4 full Living/Public Rooms (allowing tons to different and private spaces for all):
- Loft
- Great Room
- Game Room
- Family/Kitchen)
Multiple Outdoor Spaces:
- Screen porch
- Private front porch tucked in native Rhododendron
- Decking: over 2k of decking spaces including: dining area, & outdoor room decking with built in Jacuzzi (outdoor privacy fence.
- Outdoor Playhouse with swings, monkey bar
- Fenced in area for children and Pet safety: The outdoor decking, screen porch, playground, fire pit & small yard.
