Hideaway close to town

Fantastic location. Wonderful natural setting with a convenient fire pit with chairs surrounding made the hotdogs and s’mores great. Easy drive to Boone or blowing rock. Four-wheel-drive may be recommended during winter season, especially if any snow accumulation, but this summer it was easily accessible with our Honda CRV. Lastly, I slept extraordinarily well with the excellent bedding.

Mixed opinions

Property location was good. House was clean and recently updated. My only complaint is the mattresses need to be replaced. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the mattress sagged in the middle and provided very little support. I notified the host and she said she would look into it after our stay.

Great location

We booked this house for our daughter’s first trip to Tweetsie and to see the mountains. She was in awe. The location between Boone and Blowing Rock is hard to beat. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. We plan to stay again soon!

Location is fantastic

This house was just a couple of minutes off the main highway in a quiet neighborhood. Very quick and easy access to Boone or Blowing Rock. This house was clean and just the right size for our family of four. Tamara was a very thoughtful and engaged host.

Perfect location, perfect host

The rental was in the perfect location for access to skiing, tubing, and Tweetsie Railroad- all activities that we planned for our young family. The real shining star of this rental is the host, Tamara! She was so incredibly attentive, responded quickly, and when we left a few valuable items behind in the haste of packing up three young kids, Tamara helped us recover the items- immediately easing our stress! Thank you Tamara!

Good location and comfortable stay

Well thought fixture and furniture which was the best part, host was respondent. Internet kept dropping off had to use my own hotspot most of the TV that we watched. We didn’t use the main bedroom because there was no bathroom in that room which was weird so we stayed on the 2nd floor. Toilets and showers were too tight and we didn’t even use the shower because I couldn’t barely fit in them.

Tucked away but still convenient to 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.

About the host

Hosted by Tamara

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 second home for our family, we wanted to find place that was like entering a different word. Even though it is a short drive from home, 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.
