Kingsview - Great Blowing Rock Location

Kingsview has everything you need for your stay in BR. The kitchen is large and stocked with the basics. There is a large dining room, and a huge bonus room downstairs with entertainment and games. WiFi access was great so we could stream all our shows. The location is perfect - just 1/2 mile from Main St.

Great location for a ski trip.

This is a great house for a large group. My family loved the location, and all the game tables in the basement. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you will need for cooking. The house was very clean upon arrival. Nice!

Beautiful View

Property is a great location and the view from the deck of Grandfather Mountain is amazing. Lots of room and the basement would be nice for kids with a ping pong table, pool table and foozball table. Two of the bathrooms are recently renovated and are beautifully done, as well as the kitchen.

Lovely weekend! Perfect with 6 kids

We traveled with 3 families (12 total, 6 adults, 6 kids). This house was perfect. The downstairs has 7 beds, plenty for the kids to stay. We all loved the game tables downstairs. The adults were able to have time upstairs and no one felt like they were on top of one another. Great location to everything and a spectacular view!! We will be back for sure~

Great Price, Great Location and lots of space

My family of 11 enjoyed our stay at Kingsview. The house has tons of space for everyone. If you are traveling with kids, this is a great house. The basement was the perfect place for the kids to hang out. If you don't need all the bells and whistles, you can't beat the price. The kitchen is updated but the rest of the house is older. That didn't bother our family because price, space and location is more important. The house is older but everything is clean. I definitely recommend this property.

Great property for a large group!

My family and I LOVED the house, the surrounding area, and the location. We had a large group and everyone had their own space, as far as bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was spacious and the dining room was a great size for our group. The location was prime, 10 mins from skiing (we did a lot of night skiing at App Ski Mountain), close to downtown Blowing Rock (lots of yummy places to eat!) and close to trailheads for hiking (most amazing waterfalls) and the views of Grandfather Mountain were the icing on the cake. The only thing our group commented on was it would have been nice to have an updated TV and more couches/seating downstairs; it is such a great space but there weren't many places to just "flop down" and watch ping pong or foosball games. The owner, Kathy, was incredibly responsive to the several questions we had throughout our time at Kings View.

Enjoyable stay

We enjoyed staying at Kingsview! We had 10 adults and 2 children. Game room was a hit. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and was very nice. Overall cleanliness of the home was good. Since it’s an older home with hardwood floors, sound travels and the floors are creaky, so finding the right spot for kiddos to sleep took trial and error. But that didnt change our overall experience. We did not see any trash can lids for the outdoor trash cans so we were unable to lock the trash away. Thank you for letting us use your place. We enjoyed it!

Spectacular Views of Grandfather

Kingsview is a great house for families, big groups and pet owners. It’s literally a stones throw to Blowing Rock and all it’s amenities. We hiked the Moses Cone parks ever day. Nice size bedrooms for everyone and two of the bathrooms have been renovated. The downstairs has a pool table, foosball, ping pong and card tables! The yard is not fenced but it’s well marked by the woods and our dogs loved the yard. The kitchen is well equipped and updated. We loved sitting and dining on the deck and arching the sun set! The driveway and parking are a bit tricky to navigate but after a few days we figured it out. There is no cable TV, but you can stream all the popular services. Streaming was frequently interrupted but the owner is working with Spectrum to fix it. The few issues we had were addressed in a timely manner. Overall we loved the house and location and will definitely return in the future!

Great house for the price, lots of space!

My family came out for a long weekend to enjoy the views, shopping, and hiking. This house was perfect, there was plenty of space and the game room downstairs was a hit. It is well maintained and we loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen. Yes, the linens and bathrooms are outdated, but they're clean and functional so who cares! The views are beautiful in a quiet neighborhood. My only disappointment was due to the location of the home up windy roads with no shoulder, we couldn't walk to town, even though it's close. There was nowhere to walk next to the road and with 12 people and a stroller, we couldn't risk it... so we had to take 3 cars and drive to sunset and main instead of enjoying the great views and perfect weather on a walk. This is to be expected with a mountain view, but something I didn't think about when planning our trip. Despite this, I recommend the house for a big group, you'll love it.

Big house close to town

Kings View is a great home close to town. You are able to walk to town, but the hill is very steep. We ended up parking a car in town and then walking down and driving back home. Parking in the driveway is challenging but as another reviewer said once you figure it out it is easy. Check in was super easy. When we arrived it appeared no one had been there for months. After cleaning the next day, everything was great. The house itself is wonderful. Fully equipped kitchen that has been renovated not too long ago. Two of the bathrooms on the main level have also been renovated. The other one on the main floor is adequate. The furnishings, decor, and bedding are all outdated but serviceable. There is a huge walk out basement with two bedrooms. We never went down there. It could be a great space for kids. The internet connection was fabulous and we never had a problem. Smart TV's in living room and bedrooms on the main floor. We had 1 problem with plumbing on the 5th of July and the owners were super responsive and got it taken care of right away. The views from the porch are stunning. Even though we were there in July and it was a very hot month (temps in the 80's during the day and 60's at night), we never felt hot - plenty of fans scattered throughout the house. I would highly recommend Kings View.

September in Blowing Rock

The property was everything we expected. We had some problems but the owner and property manager were very responsive. Only surprise was being half a mile from downtown we thought we would routinely walk to town, but the terrain required us to drive everywhere. Bottom line: good house for large group and Blowing Rock is delightful.

Great House in a great location

We visited the Blowing Rock area for Christmas 2018. We had 6 adults in the house and we enjoyed it tremendously! Very roomy and the game room provided much activity and time to interact. Near very good restaurants in both Blowing Rock and Boone. Also close enough for us to enjoy some time skiing in the local area. Very clean and nice quiet area! We were lucky to have a light snow the first night that enhanced the Christmas experience. House has a well stocked kitchen for cooking and plenty of bathrooms. Would love to come back again!

Breathtaking Sunsets

This location was everything promised. It is only minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway and about 45 minutes to the Churches of the Frescoes. It was the perfect location for day trips to the surrounding areas. A foray into Blowing Rock (5 minute drive) provides lots of traditional shopping and dining opportunities. You really don't need to bring anything. You'll find the house very comfortable, extremely clean with lots of space. The kitchen is well stocked with loads of pots, pans, and dishes. There was plenty of seating at the dining room table and the living area for the 8 members of our Girls’ Weekend in the Mountains group (priorities for our group). Most of the bedrooms are on the main floor for those who may have trouble navigating steps and the individual room thermostat allows control of the sleeping environment. From the partially covered porch, you can sit and watch sunset over the mountains or have a glass of wine and just visit with friends. Don't forget to check out the house video library and game room. There's something for everyone. You can't miss with this one. Our group uses VRBO a lot and this is absolutely one of the best experiences we have had. Thanks to the Kings for sharing this jewel in Blowing Rock. We will have fond memories of our trip.

Nice house, lots of room, clean

The family stayed here for a wedding in town. Big house, lots of rooms, big group playroom. Great deck. Clean, well appointed, close enough to town. Hard to find in the dark, but that's to be expected in the mountains around BR. Thank you for renting!

Very Spacious

The house was plenty spacious, a TON of room and sleeping accommodations if you're traveling with several groups of people like we were. We loved the updated kitchen and the back porch where we had an amazing view. It was also very convenient to the store and downtown Blowing Rock and Boone. We were a bit disappointed with the game room, which was also huge, because from the pictures it looked to have a lot to do. Unfortunately, the Air Hockey table doesn't work, the ping pong paddles were broken, and there was no fooseball ball. We played pool, which was fine but for such a large group, we were looking forward to the gameroom being fully loaded like we thought in the pictures. The grill was also completely molded over. Overall it was a very nice place, they were flexible with letting us check out a bit later too as we had some people who had flown in with later flights.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy King

Host profile image
Jack and I live at Lake Norman, just north of Charlotte NC and visit KingsView as often as possible. We are retired, have 6 grandchildren and one great grandchild. We had KingsView listed with a local realtor for the first few years and that is why there are no early reviews.Since we purchased this home we have had many repeat guests - some have visited 6 times.

Why they chose this property

We visited this home many times over 5 years when it was owned by our dear friends from Chattanooga. When they decided to sell, we knew we wanted this wonderful place for our own.

What makes this property unique

This 5300 sq. ft. home easily accommodated 12+ guests with plenty of room for everyone. We love sitting on the deck, whether to read a good book, have a meal, or just a glass of wine. We have a lovely view of Grandfather Mountain and overlook the lights of town at night. The sunsets are spectacular.
