Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I'm a home & garden designer. I love to cook and enjoy the solitude of nature.
Why the Owner Chose Blowing Rock
I have been coming to the mountains all my life and when I finally had the opportunity to buy a place, my Realtor showed me several properties and he said, I know which one you're going to buy...and he was right! When I found it, it was just a tiny fishin' shack of a few cut-up rooms, ,no porch and no fire place, but the location and the tranquility of the place was infectious. Being an interior designer, I immediately saw the possibilities and began 9 months of renovation. It's still small and cozy but now it has a warm hearth and a sweeping porch that I practically live on in the Summer. And because I love to cook, the small kitchen is very well well equipped and easy to clean.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
The best thing, besides the simple charm of the cottage itself, is the fact that it's within minutes to Boone, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk, yet you are in the middle of the woods overlooking Cone Forest. One of my favorite things is to wake up early, make a pot of coffee and sit on the porch listening to the sounds of the mountains waking up or stay up late during a full moon and listen to the Owls talk to each other. It really is an amazing place.
