House in the clouds

Family really enjoyed our stay in this cozy and comfortable house. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was foggy for most of our stay which was a different experience for us and we loved it. When it did clear, the view was lovely. We would definitely return.

Great family skiing & tubing trip. 80 mile views was the ideal location for this trip.

Great location, excellent condition, with amenities the family enjoyed. Spacious kitchen and eating areas. Family really enjoyed playing pool and several other games. This was the perfect place to rest and enjoy time with the family after a day of skiing.

Spectacular getaway location and experience

This is house is fantastic. Very convenient to Boone and Blowing Rock, but you feel "away from the hustle and bustle." Huge kitchen, comfy beds, perfect mountain feel. The pool table downstairs was great. The views are spectacular and exactly what you would want for a home in the high country. Owners were super accommodative and helpful. We'll definitely be staying here again!

5 stars!!

This house and the owners went above and beyond on all our expectations!! We rent homes in the area a few times a year and this was by far our best experience yet! Had to contact the owners a couple times and both times got a quick response and they were very helpful. The house was beautiful and we did not need to bring extra of everything like normal (toilet paper, towels, blankets, etc.). Was very happy with our stay and will definitely rent again if available. :)

Ski & Tubing trip with grandkids

Rented this property to take family. (10 of us) to enjoy the winter in the Boone by skiing, snowboarding & tubing. This property was excellent. It provided a relaxing place to stay with all the amenities anyone could ask for. The kids enjoyed playing pool, foosball, sledding outside & the hot tub afterwards, The kitchen was great with everything needed for cooking. Thanks for letting us use this property which created wonderful memories that will not be forgotten for a long time.

Thanksgiving 2021

We had a great thanksgiving at this house in Blowing Rock. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare a feast. Enjoyed the hot tub, firepit and also shot a little pool. My kids enjoyed playing foosball in the loft area and watching deer from the porch and deck. Great views from this house for watching the sunrise if you're an early bird. Plenty to do in the area, we hiked, threw axes and drove the blue ridge parkway. Great family thanksgiving for 9!

Skiing/Snowtubing weekend

The house was perfect for our family. The large kitchen made cooking & eating good family time together. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, pool table & several board/card games. We built a snowman, had snowball fight, did some sledding in the back yard. The bedrooms provided good sleeping arrangements for everyone. The prop is very close to the Ski slopes. We went two days & one evening. We went snow tubing at Hawksnest & were able to eat out that afternoon. The restaurants in Blowing Rock & Boone provided great choices & food. We will definitely visit again.

Great house; Great location

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It is very clean, well maintained, stocked with everything we needed, and comfortable. The location is super convenient to both Blowing Rock and Boone. It only takes about 3 minutes to get to Appalachian ski slopes from the house. The owners were especially responsive and helpful. We saw deer wandering around in the yard several times. My only concern would be the road leading up to the house during icy conditions. You would definitely need 4 wheel drive/ chains on your tires to get up the road.

Big Mountain Views

The home was beautifully decorated, spacious, warm and inviting. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, and entertain our family. We loved hanging out downstairs playing pool, watching sports, and relaxing in the amazing hot tub. We gathered every morning on the deck for coffee so that we could plan our adventures for the day. The bedrooms are beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. We watched deer each evening as we dined on the porch. It was a fabulous vacation. We had plenty of places to hang out together and also plenty of places to get away and be alone. We were so sad to leave at the end of the week. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet, spacious home with incredible views. We had the best vacation we have had in several years.

Outstanding Christmas Visit

This home is one of the best rentals that we have ever stayed at; we spent three nights just before Christmas as a short get away with family and to visit Tweetsie with our 3 y/o daughter for the Christmas train ride—magical since it snowed the night of the ride. The description listed is completely accurate and no surprises on arrival. Communication with Tim prior to arrival was always quick and very helpful. Location was convenient to surrounding activities in Blowing Rock and Boone. The home is situated with outstanding views—if you look closely, you will see downtown Charlotte in the distance (approx. 80 miles as the crow fly’s). The house if fully loaded with all amenities; plush bathroom linen, nice sheets and plenty of blankets, fully loaded kitchen with all cooking supplies, flat screen TV’s in family room (with surround sound), all bedrooms, and 1st level game room with pool table. The loft is a nice bonus with foosball table and two futons. Just pack your clothes and enjoy your time in paradise!

Relaxing...Refreshing...Beautiful...Festive!!!

Tim and Marsha, Thank you so much for all the ways you made our short but fantastic stay comfortable, convenient, and relaxing. Your home was beautifully decorated for the season and that was so fun for our little ones. The accommodations were perfect...the bedrooms were comfortable...the kitchen well stocked and was amazing since one of our family highlights was to prepare meals together. Loved the hot tub, pool table and the view was indescribable. We were in the clouds 1/2 of our time and enjoyed the snow Christmas Day. Although we did not get out but once to travel to a roadside falls, we were happy to be right there in your warm, lovely home in front of the fireplace. Hopefully, my little family can gather again during the warmer weather at your home and enjoy your decks. We are hikers and would love to explore Blowing Rock and the Boone area...and maybe again during Christmas and try our skills on the slopes...my adult children would love it... We would recommend Tim and Marsha’s Home hands down...Thank you. Carol and Mark

Great house with excellent amenities.

First of all, Tim is very good to work with and makes a VRBO vacation enjoyable. Secondly, the house is on a huge piece of property that is lovely with beautiful sunsets every evening. And, the house has lots of fun amenities like large screen TVs, Netflix, a hot tub, and a pool table. The kitchen is well stocked as well. The bacon cooker is a lot of fun! In terms of location, it is a short drive to either Blowing Rock or Boone. I highly recommend the Sky Line zip-lining experience. Our only drawback was due to the weather and not the house itself. We had planned on a lot of hiking and fishing in April, but it was very cold and windy and even snowed for two days. Our family would prefer to return in the summer. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed the house. The only things I would recommend to the owners is to offer blowdryers in all bathrooms, and a blackout blind that can be lowered and raised over the transom window in the patio room off of the master bedroom. Also, guests should make sure to have all locks to glass doors in an open position when going on and off the balconies. Otherwise, you can easily lock yourself out of the house. Overall, it's a great house!

Why they chose this property

We loved this property from the moment we saw it. Primarily due to it's large, long range views and its proximity to both Boone and Blowing Rock. On a private blacktop, dead-end road with almost zero traffic. it offers privacy with a capital "P". It sits at the top of Flat Top/Appalachian Ski Mountain within 5 miles between both cities. At 4200 ft. elevation and is usually 2 - 3 degrees cooler than Downtown Blowing Rock.

What makes this property unique

The views, the views, the views... Also the fire pit and the hot tub outside or the Jacuzzi tub inside the master bath. There are three levels of decks, downstairs on the garage level is the rec room and outside on deck is the hot tub. The main level has a full deck as well with one end enclosed as a sun room off the master bedroom. The upstairs queen bedroom has its own private balcony to take in the long range views and overlooking Blowing Rock lights at night.
