Turkey Trot- Light & Bright Blowing Rock Guest Suite
THE SPACE: Enjoy our beautiful, fun newly renovated guest suite atop a quiet mountain at one of the most convenient locations near Blowing Rock. Private entrance with flat, paved parking right beside the door gives you easy access. The suite is a large space with sleeping, lounging, and work areas. The alcove has a cozy queen size bed, with a supportive and comfortable hybrid memory foam mattress on an adjustable bed base with luxury linens and USB charging outlets. Additional full size 6" memory foam platform bed available upon request. Relax in the living area with board games, DVDs, or watch Netflix & Amazon on the 65" tv- you may also bring your credentials for other apps (no cable tv). The desk alcove provides working space if needed and the suite has dedicated high speed internet and its own HVAC/ heat & air conditioning, also has a 4-speed ceiling fan. The bathroom has a spa-like feeling with a low-threshold shower and walnut vanity. Cedar lined walk in closet with extra pillows & blankets. Outdoor ski rack provided in winter months. Please NOTE: We do have several chickens and a proud rooster on property. We do not allow pets of any kind. Park in the upper driveway (all the way around the front of the house) and enjoy flat, no stairs access directly to the studio door.
LOCATION: We are located in a very quiet, peaceful area on a state-maintained gravel road. We are tucked in among the trees surrounded by abundant wildlife- turkey, deer, songbirds- and starry nighttime skies. The Blue Ridge Parkway and many local hiking & biking trails are close by. The Middle Fork Greenway trail and Tweetsie Railroad are within walking distance, only minutes to Blue Deer Cookies, Birdie's Coffee, and Mystery Hill. 5 miles to downtown Blowing Rock, Tanger Outlets and Appalachian Ski Mountain, and 4 miles to Boone. 7-8 miles from two equestrian centers. Excellent restaurants abound nearby and we're happy to make recommendations. Only 5 minutes from Boone, 30 minutes to Banner Elk, and 30 - 40 minutes from Sugar or Beech ski areas. We are 10 minutes from Appalachian State University and 30 minutes Lees McRae University.
AMENITIES: mini fridge with freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, selection of teas & coffee, cork screw, WIFI, night lights, some paper goods, board games, books & DVDs provided. In the cedar closet you'll find extra blankets, pillows, and iron & ironing board, hangers & luggage rack. Bathroom vanity houses a hair dryer, soaps and shampoos, plenty of tp and some cleaning supplies in case guests need them. Linens are cleaned using scent and dye free detergents and air filters are frequently changed- we are sensitive to those with allergies.

We absolutely love this place, and the owners are so awesome and responsive! We have come here a number of times, usually either for my wife's birthday or for our anniversary, because it's very convenient being between Boone and Blowing Rock. What makes it extra special is the owners attention and attentiveness. We will definitely be back for many times to come.
Jennifer was very responsive to our questions when we were on our way there. The studio is fully stock of hot drinks I need for am drinks. And she even provided sweet candies for my kids. The studio is very spacious, bed is very comfortable and the place is quiet. Will definitely refer this place to my friends. Can’t wait to come back soon in NC and book this place again. We had a best stay here.
The room was clean, towels and sheets and other amenities were provided. This place also had many board games which we enjoyed. This is a great place for a short getaway.

We enjoyed hosting you and are glad you had a good time. Thanks for leaving such a nice note on our guest book. We would appreciate knowing what we could have done better to earn a full 5 star rating and we also appreciate your kind words. Come again!
Awesome one room cabin to stay in, nestled between Boone and Blowing Rock. The owners are so nice and responsive. This was our 3rd time staying here, and we definitely plan to stay here again when we are in the area.
The stay was amazing. They wecomed us when we arived and as we left they came out and we chatted a bit. It was very clean, very updated and had everything i needed! I will be back
We were pleased with the accommodations. Very quiet location just outside of town, but still convenient to restaurants. Bed was super comfortable. Would have no hesitation to stay there again.
Everything was clean, and super cute! They add little extras that make your stay comfortable and easy. Didn’t realize the remote by the bed was for the bed (thought it was for the fan) but it’s actually for the bed, so nice to give guests a nice option!
