Comfortable and calm cottage with beautiful view and great location

This cottage is very comfortable for a family of 4, with plenty of space to relax. The mountain views from the top deck are nice. The location is very close to the town and easy to get to. The owner also provided useful information on local places to eat. We would stay here again.

second time stay

This is the second time I have chosen Nancy's place to stay, it's just that good! The house had some minor improvements since the last time I stayed. Love that the kitchen is stocked with everything you would need to cook and the yard is perfect for pets or sitting out and enjoying the view/weather.

great time during a record hot week!

My wife and I and my 7 year old son stayed during 4th of July week - great place for our family - son stayed in downstairs bedroom, and wife and I stayed in upstairs bedroom - perfect size for us - great owners, who live very near by - linens and towels furnished - yard is big enough and flat enough to practice golf (with wiffle practice balls, mind you!) - wifi works well - we definitely plan to stay there again!

Great for Kids and Pet!

This cabin was the absolute cutest and perfect spot for our family that includes 2 young kids and a dog. The layout is great and gave the kids their own space on the bottom level. All the amenities and essentials we needed. Decorated and furnished to be so cozy. We enjoyed the quiet area, close to the golf course, outlets, downtown. We will be looking to stay here again!

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

+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
