We fell in love with this mountain cottage the first time we saw it. There is a wrap around porch with rocking chairs, where you can rock and enjoy the wooded view. We would love to share it with you.
It is 10 acre within a quiet, safe, gated community. The Master Bedroom and Full Bath are on the first floor. There are two bedrooms and full bath are upstairs.
All rooms including the front porch have ceiling fans (except baths & kitchen). You may not need to use the ceiling fans as there is always a wonderful breeze blowing across the mountains. The home has central heat and air conditioning.
On the first floor is the Master Bedroom with a New Queen size bed, closet and dresser. The first bedroom upstairs has a King Size bed using a day/trundle bed with a Serta 4-inch memory foam mattress topper and contour pillows for extra comfort. There is also sofa that opens into a twin bed a foam mattress is supplied for it. This bedroom also has dresser and a TV with DVD/VCR player. The other upstairs Bedroom has two double beds and a bunk bed.
There is a new infant crib and a twin bed guard for toddlers. All beds have mattress and pillow covers, linens, blankets and quilts. An extra large sleeping bag is also available. This allows for spacious room, yet numerous sleeping arrangements.
The dining room table seats eight, and opens to seat 16. There are over 16 place settings of dishes and silverware. For children there are plastic dishes and bowls, as well as a highchair and booster seat.
In the living room there is a wood burning fireplace, comfortable furniture, TV, Radio, DVD/VCR & CD players. DVD/VCR library, games, puzzles, books, cards; something for everyone: TV Converter box and Unidirectional antenna. Phone with limited service; no long distance calls You May use a calling card. A new cell tower was built in the area the summer of 2008 allowing Verizon Cell and Internet service outside and inside the cottage.
Both the Dining Room and Living Room have skylights.
3 Large Pillows and matching Fleece 4x6 covers are handy to sit on the floor or wrap up to sit outside.
The kitchen is well equipped with a refrigerator (with ice maker), stove & pans, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, blender, and bread maker. There is a garbage disposal but no dishwasher. You will find plenty of cooking utensils. Three feet of the kitchen counter has been lowered to accommodate the handicapped. The stove is a flat top, easy to use, with controls on the back, out of the reach of small children.
The laundry area has a washer and dryer. There is an ironing board and iron. The bathroom has plush, Biltmore towels, soap, shampoo, lotion, and hair dryer.
Most all doors on the first floor are wide and have lever handles. The furniture is arranged to accommodate a wheelchair bound person.
The house is 1350 square feet. The wide porch on three sides of the house is roomy and relaxing with plenty of seating. A swing and hammock are on the side porches for your relaxation, including a table with four chairs on the corner of the deck. There is a propane gas grill. Also Horseshoe and "Throw Golf" games.
Everyone loves to sit around the open fire pit and cook hot dogs and S'mores, or rock on the porch at night and listen to the sounds of nature.

Beautiful mountain retreat

We had a wonderful time at your cottage. We enjoyed cooking our Thanksgiving dinner in your well-stocked kitchen, eating at the big dining room table, sitting on the porch and walking through the beautiful area surrounding the cottage. My mom was able to get around in her wheelchair with no problems at all. Thanks be so easy to work with and for making everything so comfortable.

Lovely Cottage

My sisters, mother, and I rented this cottage for an early Christmas party. My mother fell twice prior to our arrival and we were forced to bring her on the trip in a wheel chair. The electric wheel chair lift made this so easy for us. Also, the cottage is set up for wheel chair access. This cottage was so lovely. We were celebrating Christmas as I mentioned and picked a weekend where we were able to see some snow flurries so we had a white Christmas. The cottage was well stocked with all of the linens and kitchen supplies you would have at home. We will most definitely rent this cottage again.

The cottage worked well for us. Our daughter was able to get everywhere downstairs. I loved the bi-fold doors on the downstairs bath. They really did make more room. We moved a couple items to make path of travel easier. The huge wrap-around porch was such a blessing. We got our daughter down to the fire pit one night in her manual chair. She doesn't like her manual chair, so she spent the other nights on that side of the porch. We had a fire and S'mores every night. The boys did the shooting range, and we spent a lot of time in downtown Brevard. It was a great get-away!

What a charming home away from home! We loved the natural beauty of the surroundings and the clean, home. We took a tour of the waterfalls and that was also spectacular. My only slightly negative comment would be that there are too many beds in the third bedroom upstairs - it looks a little cramped. Had we had more people with us - there were three of us - it might have been a little hard to manage with the two baths. Overall, a super experience! We certainly plan to come back!
Owner response:There were only 3 persons during this review. The upstairs bedroom has bunkbeds and double beds. We try to accommodate a variety of guest; couples to family reunions. There is plenty room for sleeping. The huge porch, outside area with games, and dinning room table that seats up to 16. We thank our guest for their comments.

July 4th Family Get Away

Love, love, love the Blue Arrow Cottage. Comfortable, well appointed, clean in a magnificent natural setting. Easy drive to Brevard and state parks featuring majestic waterfalls! We went to the Brevard arts festival, heard wonderful blue grass music, hiked and picnicked and sat by the fire pit at night. Tranquil and lovely. I highly recommend taking a respite at Blue Arrow Cottage! Would make a lovely romantic getaway for a loving couple, but my five-year old granddaughter had a blast too!

Father's Day Weekend

My family gathered at the Blue Arrow Cottage for a long Father's Day Celebration. We were all pleaseantly surprised at how beautifully decorated the cottage was, and with 12 of us being there, we had plenty of room. There were lots of games/dvds/toys for my children and niece & nephew to play with. No one ever got bored! With all the personal touches you felt as though you were visiting friends instead of renting a cottage. It was nice & private, yet close enough to lots of activities in the area. We visited Sliding Rock, The Cradle of Forestry, and Looking Glass Falls. All of it was so beautiful!

Warm and welcoming family retreat

When a schedule change threw a wrench in our Easter vacation plans the owners of this lovely cottage were very helpful with a last minute substitution. We could not have been happier with our time at the Blue Arrow. The comfortable country antique decor was lovely. The location is close enough to civilization but still private and remote. Our family enjoyed playing board games in the large family room and closed out every evening roasting marshmallows at the outdoor fire pit. The sleeping accommodations were very comfy and suited this family of five very well. We will definitely be returning to the Blue Arrow in the future and recommend it to any family needing to get away and reconnect.

The Anniversary @ Blue Arrow Cottage
Guest: Harry and Claudia
(Roxboro, North Caro)

Review Submitted: 02/05/10
It was our 28th Anniversary, in the hottest part of August, and we were looking for a get-away. It was a great excuse to find a place to relax, let the tension and stress of the work-a-day world slide away, and pay attention to nature and each other. Being friends with Mary and Randy, we were aware of the cabin near Boone, and fortunately, it was available! We made arrangements and were excited at the prospect of a quiet weekend. Just the two of us . . . So, we are on our way, meeting up with two of Claudia’s sisters and their spouses – I know, but the alone part after 28 years? – for a visit. The cabin was about halfway between Roxboro, NC and Chattanooga, TN, where our families are, and when we realized that the facilities were more than adequate for a little reunion, decided to have some of the Family join us. And it was great! The huge wrap-around porch was a great place to sit and get cool in the mountain air in the day, and to turn out the lights and night to contemplate the stars . . . with or without adult beverages! There were many activities within an easy drive; Boone and other smaller towns, attractions such as Grandfather Mountain and other hiking and natural areas. There was a good selection of Restaurants, from rustic to elegant, and varieties of fare, from haute cuisine to bar-b-que. There were shops and crafts, and, since my sister-in-law Liz was with us, one of the world’s largest discount shoe stores. The cabin was spacious and comfortable, and the motif was pleasant and definitely suited to the area. We look forward to our next visit, perhaps with family or friends . . . and maybe, even, ‘just the two of us’! Harry and Claudia Erwin Roxboro, NC

We really enjoyed our stay the week after Christmas 2009. The cottage is lovely and more than adequate. The property is very nice...snow kept us from hiking close by other than on the drive and road in but we did enjoy this. There are some beautiful views within walking distance of the cottage. The kids loved the snow. The privacy here is a plus also...quiet and peaceful. We would engourage others to stay here. We had a great time and look forward to coming again.

A beautiful place to stay in December with temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Enjoyed the solitude of the woods in a cottage that fit here. Beautifully decorated with an eye to the woodsy setting and attention to the smallest comfort and aesthetic details. We even rocked on the wrap-around porch with temperatures in the low 20s. Enjoyed reading in the homey living room at night. Explored the area, enjoying hiking, music, and people. We look to returning to the area and the Blue Arrow Cottage.
