Clean and Convenient

Very close to all things in downtown Blowing Rock. 300 feet from Bald Guy Brewing for great coffee. Having dedicated parking was nice as well, we never had an issue finding a spot. Unit was spotless when we arrived. All appliances and HVAC worked with no issues. The beds are comfortable with plenty of blankets to stay warm.One item to be ready for if you have a fall or winter rental - the checkout instructions have the outgoing tenant drop the thermostat to 54*. So be ready for it to be chilly when you first arrive!

Karen is amazing!!

The property was walking distance to everything downtown. Quick drive to Appalachian Mountain for some snow boarding. Less than an hour drive to hikes with magnificent views of Linville Gorge, Tablerock Mtn, Hawksbill Mtn. The accomodations are top notch. Karen has created a book with all the reference material and menus you'll need. High quality furnishing and creativity abound. Don't miss the outdoor fireplace after walking back from dinner! This stay is simply a win!

Super easy check in and accommodations were immaculate which is not always the case with pet friendly places. Found a nice spot to walk our doodle that was pretty peaceful, by the elementary school. Shopping and restaurants right around the corner! Great weekend in Blowing Rock with our friends!

Great stay! We couldn’t have asked for a better location. It was an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the trail to the falls. Bonus points for being right next to a spa where we were able to get a massage. We will definitely be back!
