Thank you. We are only a mile from town, and nearly across the street from blowing rock golf course where visitors can walk the cart paths after 7 pm. Blowing Rock Conference Center is also across the street, where there are walking trails. We have a large grassy yard, gardens that bloom every season except winter, and beautiful views of the mountains.

Ideal holiday destination for exploring Blue Ridge Parkway

Great accommodation for the three of us. Well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms & comfy bedrooms. Ideally placed for exploring Blowing Rock, Moses H Cone, Grandfather Mtn and so much more. We also enjoyed daily visits to Camp Coffee. Wished we were able to have stayed longer here as Ada's Cottage was just so relaxing.

She reached out several times prior to the trip to offer suggestions and provide additional information about the house. Would definitely stay here again. Plus there are deer everywhere!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Pyle

Host profile image
Hi, and thank you for reading this profile! I am a retired NC special educator with 4 grown children, ages 30-37. After living in IN, TN, KY, MO, and RI myself and my 4 children have settled in North Carolina. My husband and I live in the Charlotte area and I manage and clean the property myself each week. I employ a maintenance man to keep the property in the best condition possible. I love my octangular shaped home with the large floor to ceiling windows that look out onto Grandfather Mountain and I love to share it with others too!

Why they chose this property

I enjoy bringing joy to others by providing a home in which you can create memories and develop relationships in a setting that is conducive to outdoor activities; from sledding and skiing in the winter to hiking and just relaxing in the Adirondack chairs around the gas firepit or hammock during the other seasons. My home is situated on a half acre consisting of seasonally flowering plants and trees and a large grassy back yard. Inside you will find cozy and comfortable bedding and unique Bearfoot Bears throughout the home. Ceiling to floor bookshelves in the front room are filled with books for all ages. There's a hammock for the back deck and sleds for the gently sloping driveway on the side of the property located in the lower level. Games and puzzles are in the coffee table and TV stand. Spectrum streaming on the TVs provide national and local news as well as movies and series to watch.

What makes this property unique

+Only 1 mile from Blowing Rock's center of town, with their many festivals, playground and gazebo on the green, excellent restaurants, art gallery, and quaint gift shops
+Across the street from the Blowing Rock Golf Course (Private) and Boone Country Club Golf Course (Public)
+Across the street from the Blowing Rock Conference Center
+Only 15 minutes from the town of Boone, home of Appalachian State
+Only 5 minutes from the restored mansion and trails of the Moses Cone Park
+Horseback riding at Moses Cone Park, swimming and tennis in Blowing Rock's center of town
+only 1 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway with scenic rest stops and hiking trails
+only 10 minutes from Appalachian Ski Resort
+Blowing Rock Brewery, Boonshine, and Appalachian Mountain Brewing are all 5 to 15 minutes from my house
