About this property

GREAT Location. Private Cottage near Blowing. SNOW NECESSITATES. 4WD

“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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was exceptionally clean, well stocked with everything we needed and perfectly located in a beautiful part of Blowing Rock. We loved exploring the charming downtown area and were able to take advantage of all the nearby hiking trails. Thank you for having us - we'd absolutely recommend this place to others.

Very clean cabin that was stocked with everything we needed. My daughter and I enjoyed bird watching while sitting on the covered back porch. We visited Tweetsie Railroad which is a short distance away from the cabin. Check-in was very easy and the communication with the host was very responsive.

The cabin was clean, well appointed and had everything we needed for a quick getaway. Also taking a toddler with us we appreciated that there was outlet covers and an easy check out process. You could tell the cabin was a labor of love with all of the wood used from the property, and vintage touches like old gumball machines and a school desk used for decoration. The beds were comfortable which is also always a plus. It was nice that the cabin was 15 minutes from downtown blowing rock while also feeling very secluded in the woods for a mountain getaway. I would stay again if coming to the area!

Cozy cabin

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.

Awesome location, close to hiking!

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.

Perfect little cabin!

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.

About the host

Hosted by jennifer poarch

Host profile image
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.
