Clean and exactly as advertised. Very convenient location. A park and a cool hiking trail are in easy walking distance. Perfect for travelers with a dog.
The property is well located, charming and has a wonderful vibe. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked. The beds were comfortable. Renters should know though that the second bathroom is tiny and the sink is likewise super small. You cannot wash you face in the sink. Otherwise we highy recommend the cottage and would come again. I should also add that I left something behind and housekeeping had turned it and they are mailing it to me all in the same day. Amazing customer service.
Overall- it was a great property! Very convenient- steps away from Main Street, not not noisy. The property was clean. The kitchen was huge, nice double sided fireplace between the kitchen and living space. Nice outdoor area in the backyard area.Some notes of interest:It is very dark inside- just not a ton of daylight.There are also 30 light switches- can be "fun" trying to figure what switch goes to what.The master/primary bathroom is only separated by a curtain.......
We enjoyed our stay at the Bark Bungalow and look forward to returning later this year. The proximity to the playground is super convenient for anyone with children. The layout of the home was great too! Perfect for my husband who had to work while on vacation. We can’t wait to go back!

Thank you so much Dana! I am glad you had a good time in Blowing Rock!
We very much enjoyed this charming house! The location was perfect. We could walk to everything and never had to use a car. My son loved how the playground was right around the corner!
We loved everything about The Bark Bungalow. It was convenient to everything in Blowing Rock, and a really cool, clean place to gather and enjoy its awesome fireplace, kitchen and back yard. We agreed that we would come back again in a heartbeat!
This house was absolutely terrific. From the two-sided fireplace to the incredible architectural details, we enjoyed a quiet, relaxing weekend enjoying this home. It was very clean, very well stocked (with towels and kitchen supplies), and very conveniently located - only 2 houses away - from the restaurants and shops in downtown Blowing Rock. We will definitely plan to stay here again.
It was enjoyable to relax in this lovely cottage! Cooking was a pleasure in the very well-appointed kitchen. Sitting in the living room was cozy by the gas fired fireplace. The backyard was tiny but perfect--we could hear the church hymns at 25 minutes past the hour during the day and sit outside for meals. Bedrooms/Bathrooms were so comfy with high end sheets and towels.
The location had advantages to explore the town shops and restaurants as well as walking trails with town history close by.
