Everything was great from the accuracy of the listing to the excellent communication from our host, which made our amazing trip even more awesome! We are grateful for all the suggestions for adventures that our host provided and checked most of those off our activities bucket list! This property was a convenient location for everything we needed and wanted to do. We would definitely rebook if we ever return to the area! Thank you for everything!

This "Retreat" is well-named; private but a short drive from it all. Comfortable beds; very clean; excellent communications with owner. The canopy of trees over the front yard was the perfect place for morning coffee.

Perfect location for activities and relaxation

I really enjoyed my stay. We were in town for a little league baseball tournament. This gave my family of five room to stretch out. The location was perfect, close to town and many other activities, but still tucked away with a feel of the mountains. After each game, the house was a great place to relax!

About the host

Hosted by Tamara

Host profile image
We are a family of five who likes to get away from city life and enjoy relaxing in the mountains! We want to share our home with you, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

In selecting a home for our family, we wanted to find place that was like entering a different word. Even though it is a short drive from nearby locations, the high elevation of the area gives Blowing Rock a totally different climate; we love being able to go someplace cool in the summer and to have snow adventures in the winter!

What makes this property unique

The house makes you feel like you are in a woodsy getaway, but you are still close to all the comforts of life! There are tons of options of things to do, eat, and see - all within just a few minutes of the house.
