Hot tub was amazing in the cold weather, Karen was awesome with any questions we had and let us check in early, which was so helpful to start off our honeymoon. Such a great place to stay and so close to everything in town! It was so nice to walk to everything. Karen also had the place stocked with anything we could’ve needed and the decor just made our experience so much nicer. 10 stars!

Fantastic 4th of July trip at Two Steps Down

My husband, dog and I had a wonderful stay at Two Steps Down. It was perfect for us - clean, cozy, well-stocked and (best of all) right in the middle of everything in downtown Blowing Rock. We loved the fire pit! It was great to have a fenced in yard for our dog. We will definitely be back!

Quaint Hideaway

A lovely hidden spot in the heart of Blowing Rock. You are steps away from everything in Blowing Rock but a quite retreat when you want to escape and recharge. The outdoor amenities are excellent, and the indoor area is very comfortable.

Hot tub was awesome. Previous page required me to rate the winery experience. Not sure what that even is...??? It was pet friendly but we didn't have a pet. Comfort of the mattress was amazing. We are looking into getting one for our home if you can give me some info on it.

Beautiful accomodations with all the extra thoughtful touches. Loved the courtyard area that gives you a private outdoor space, and the hot tub is a nice bonus!

Excellent location and well maintained

This place was perfect for my wife, our dog, and me. The fenced in yard and great location. Right on Sunset Dr, right downtown. The interior was tastefully decorated, very clean, and as advertised. Fairly new appliances and everything was in top working order. We would stay here again on our next visit to Blowing Rock.

Amazing Spring Weekend

Spent a first weekend away with a special friend and it was amazing. Check in process was super simple and even allowed to get in earlier than expected which got our weekend started even better than expected. Host was super nice and openly communicated with any questions I had. Couldn’t ask for better experience and will definitely look to use Diamond properties anytime I go back to Blowing Rock!!

Perfect location & well equiped charming getaway

We had a great stay in Blowing Rock at Two Steps Down. The unit is immaculately clean, with great decor, comfortable furnishings, and one of the most well equiped rentals I have ever seen. Everything was there for us to cook when we wanted to and great restaurants and shops are just outside the door. It included a parking spot and we never got back in the car until time to go home. Will definitely go back there again!
