About this property

GREAT Location Near Blowing Rock on 1 acre pond. 4 wheel drive needed in winter

Late Fall and Winter months you will need 4 wheel drive. The weather can change quickly in the High Country. Our driveway is too long to shovel snow. You will need four-wheel-drive!

“Rocky Meadows" Cottage by the Pond, my husband and I rent out for short term rentals. "Rocky Meadows" Cottage By The Pond is located on a 1 acre pond 3.5 miles from Blowing Rock's Main Street, where shopping and restaurants abound. Minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and just off scenic Highway 221 on the way to Grandfather Mountain. Bring your tent and pitch on the shore of the pond for the kids or go hiking in the adjacent woods.

For those who want seclusion plus the convenience of being close to everything, it is the perfect spot.

Cabin by the Pond

This sweet cabin was the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Tucked away by a peaceful pond, it felt like a private escape, yet it was just a short drive to the charming town of Blowing Rock. The cabin was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully furnished. The pond was a plus for us since our grandson loves to fish and the porch was the perfect place to sit and relax with coffee in the mornings and just enjoy the cool mountain air. Our host Jennifer was easy to communicate with and even left homemade soap for us! A great little getaway!

Short weekend stay

This cute little cabin tucked down among trees is idealic. Not only was the cabin a perfect size for my husband and I, but the drive to Blowing Rock was quick and easy. Loved the pond on this property which we enjoyed walking around with our dog. Will rebook this property 100%!

Great get away

Place is awesome. Picturesque and quiet. 10 minutes to anything you want to do whether in town at Blowing Rock or hiking lake trails. Highly recommend this over staying in Blowing Rock proper or Boone.

Perfect Getaway

This property was cozy! As a 2BR1BA, I was originally concerned about size, but once arrived, it was PERFECT! Open floor plan for kitchen/living room made great for family time. Hot, hot water for the showers with decent pressure. PLENTY of linens. The property grounds were gorgeous and the lay out of the chairs and fire pit around the pond was even more convenient. Pond is stocked with fish, whom bite rain, shine, and snow!

Peace & Setenity

The location was terrific, we enjoyed the view from the front porch. My husband caught a bass in his fishing at the pond . Many beautiful lakes and hiking areas close by. The town of Blowing Rock is only a few miles away. Shopping, restaurants and parks close by. We both enjoyed our stay tremendously.

About the host

Hosted by jennifer poarch

"Rocky Meadows" has been in my family since around 1929. My fathers' great aunt Minerva Walker Goldsmith "Aunt Bea" purchased Rocky Meadows around 1929 in order to spend summers away from the heat of Palm Beach. Aunt Bea was known for her modernist watercolor landscape paintings. She developed a love for the mountains and sold property to her friends, one being Phillip Moose, and established Artist Alley. My father built this cabin with very little assistance in 2006. It took him 2 years to complete.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is close to town but provides a feeling of seclusion and privacy.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, pet friendly, beautiful mountain setting, outdoor stone grill, gas grill, bonfire pit next to pond, fishing dock, close to ski resorts and restaurants
