Blowing Rock-Recently Renovated Big Views
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Blowing Rock
Hiking! Great cultural events from ASU including lectures, chamber music, and wonderful performing arts. Pisgah National Forest surrounds us, and the Appalachians offer ever-changing views in every season. The New River is great for tubing, fishing, or kayak adventures and the air is clean and cool.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
The cabin is just around the corner from Julian Price Park which offers weekend Ranger programs, $12 an hour canoe rentals on the lake, the best loop trail in the Blue Ridge, giant boulders in the river for picnicking, wild swimming holes with mini waterfalls, and convenient tables and grills next to a bold creek for wading and catching crawdads. Grandfather Mountain is just south via scenic bi-way, and Tweetsie RR is only 15 miles away. Moses Cone Craft center with groomed walking and equestrian trails is 5 minutes away, and world class Westglow Spa is just 1 miles away!
Grills & Tables right on the creek! Handicap accessible. Super 5 mile loop trail (mod/strenuous) follows river, swimming holes, caves, great photo spots.
Fun short cut to Trout Pond, the back side of Grandfather Mtn, Gem mining in Foscoe. Some boulders for climbers along this road. Get off the beaten track! Curvy, single car in some places, and a re
Nature Preserve. Cafe, mini-zoo, small museum, mile high bridge, beautiful views, picnic areas. Discounts available online. Great hiking trails.
Hidden trail head takes you up to Blue Ridge Parkway, Daniel Boone Scout Trail, Nuwati Trail, Tanawa Trail, and Story Teller Rock. Few visitors find this!
2.5 miles. Delightful! Crosses several creeks, wanders thru a pasture w/ apple trees worthy of the Sound of Music, steep descent on the back end. Loop trail. Moderate.
Beautiful scenic drive. Very curvy. Likely to see wild turkeys, deer, cattle. Ends at popular local swimming hole with large rocks for sunning. Excellent dining at The Gamekeeper $$$ unique restau
Great short hike to watch kids bouldering (or take your pad and join in.) Also the start of the China Creek Mtn. Bike Trail. Very challenging!
Art demonstrations, miles of excellent equestrian / walking trails, area crafts, Ranger tours.
One the great social spots. Dog and stroller friendly, flat, pea gravel. Likely to see horses. Fishing possible. Bathrooms. 0.9 mile loop with excellent offshoots for longer walks.
3 Waterfalls along 1.1 mile trail. Downhill the whole way, which means...uphill coming back. :) Right downtown and easily missed.

What a wonderful cabin and what a great weekend! The cabin was just as described in the listing, down to the beautiful fall leaves in the outdoor picture, and was clean and well stocked with everything but our food and drink. From sitting on the deck, to walking in the neighborhood, to driving along pretty Highway 221 and walking across the Mile-High Bridge at Grandfather Mountain a few miles down the road - everything was perfect. This is definitely a come-back-again cabin!

We had a great time in the cabin; hearing the noise of the creeks in the morning was very peaceful. Thank you for letting us stay here and for the tips about the hiking.

We enjoyed ourselves so much! Our 30th anniversary celebration could not have been nicer. Thank you so much for arranging/buying Susannah's goodies for us. Great choice in wine! I love your house--so very comfortable and inviting. I hope we can do this again! Such a beautiful, unique property.

Our children loved all the toys you loaned us, we had a wonderful long weekend. We hiked all the way to the top of Linville Falls, went to Linville Cavern, Tweetsey (where we saw Barney!!), the Blowing Rock Park, Art in the Park and Grandfather Mountain. Whew it got chilly. We love you and we love Blowing Rock! See you in October!
