“Rocky Meadows" is our home my husband and I now use for short term vacation rental. "Rocky Meadows" is close to 221 but has a feeling of seclusion. Sits on 3 acres, no other houses visible. There are two bedrooms, a queen-size bed in one and a bunk that has a full-size bottom bed with a twin in the upper. The great room was designed with family time in mind. The covered back deck has a patio table chairs and gas grill for outdoor entertaining. We have a full basement that is pretty much empty except for the washer and dryer. Designed and built by the owners this simple cabin utilizes many re-purposed materials. The floors are oak drawer fronts that were free and obtained from a cabinet shop that closed. The walls and ceilings are finished yellow pine, the window and door casings have Sweet Gum boards. All of these boards were cut off the property then dried and milled.

The cabin was clean and well-maintained; secluded, but only 7 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock. We loved sitting on the covered back porch and watching the fireflies in the evening.
We stayed here to do some hiking and birdwatching around Blowing Rock. It's just a 6 minute drive to Trout Lake (Moses Cone), 20 minutes to various trails and overlooks on Blue Ridge Parkway, 30 minutes to Grandfather Mountain, and a quick drive to Blowing Rock and Boone. Though the property is on a major road, it was quiet and the back porch was a wonderful place to listen to birds singing.
Very comfortable, quiet and stocked. Couldn’t have been better. I will definitely be back in warmer months, by myself I wouldn’t be comfortable with the steep driveway during the winter. Homemade soaps and many quaint touches! Thank you!
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this cozy house! Perfect location, close to downtown Blowing Rock, but remote enough to give us a sense of privacy. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway!
Our stay was fantastic, everything we needed was there for us and the cabin was so cozy . We had a family of deer visit us 3 times during our stay 🙂 would love to stay again in the future .
My husband and I stayed here with our two dogs and loved it! The location is private but very close to downtown Blowing Rock. We loved the large back and front porches- they are prefect for coffee or wine. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We loved the fresh goat soap! Would love to stay here again!drincomfortable.
We had a wonderful time at this cabin! We loved that it was dog and kid-friendly so our whole family could enjoy the property. Great location close to Blowing Rock and Boone!
We had an amazing time in this cabin. The cabin was perfect and had everything that we needed. It was extremely clean and well stocked. It felt secluded even though you are close to all that Blowing Rock has to offer. We hope to visit again soon!
This collage is close to anything you may want to do in the Blowing Rock-Boone area. It is super clean and has all the comforts of home. Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful stay and relax couple of days. I needed to be close to chetola resort due to an event I’m and it was a perfect location close to the twin For sure I will keep this location in me save folder for next time
Thank you again
We celebrated our anniversary by getting away and staying at this cozy cabin. We loved being able to bring our two whippets with us and being able to enjoy the beautiful sites and mountains. If we visit the area again, we will definitely stay at this nice place.

Great mountain Cabin
This property is the perfect mountain hide-away. We loved the privacy, the picturesque setting, the amazing quick access to anything we wanted to do in Blowing Rock.
This cabin is within minutes of numerous, fantastic restaurants, as well as an excellent value. We cannot wait to return.
Great location—secluded woodlands only minutes from downtown Blowing Rock. Convenient to shopping, fishing, and hiking. Restful setting, with the sounds of a stream while sitting on the back deck. Owners extremely helpful, responsive and friendly,

About the host
Hosted by jennifer poarch
My husband and I live in Lenoir NC with our 5 sons, 4 daughter-in-laws, 5 grandchildren. I am a nurse, employed with Blue Ridge Health Care for the past 35 years. My husband is self-employed, pours concrete for a living and can do just about anything he sets his mind to.
Why they chose this property
Rocky Meadows is a special place. My father's great aunt, Minerva Walker Goldsmith, purchased this property around 1929 to spend summers away from the heat of Palm Beach. Aunt Bee was known for her modernist watercolor landscape and seascape paintings. She developed a love for the mountains and sold property to her friends, one being Phillip Moose, who established what is now Artist Alley. As a little girl, I loved spending parts of my summers in Blowing Rock which led to my attending Appalachian State and then eventually meeting my husband.
What makes this property unique
My husband and I built the cabin ourselves using re-purposed materials. What I love most about the cabin is the privacy that it provides. It is close to the road but offers a feeling of seclusion, it sits on 3 acres. It is completely surrounded by nature with no other homes in sight. While the cabin is secluded, it is just a short drive into town. There are restaurants, shopping and entertainment close by. It is also close to the Parkway, Moses Cone and Price Park.
