Our family group (2 couples & two teens) loved staying at Blowing Rock Retreat this past weekend.
The view was even more beautiful than the pictures, and we spent so many wonderful hours enjoying the covered back deck (even in the rain!).
The house was ideal since each couple and the teens had their own floor (& separate A/C). The pool table was a big hit, and we had fun watching shows on the big screen downstairs.
The kitchen was perfect for making home-cooked meals (with the exception of dull knives - typical for vacation rentals). And the kitchen table hosted many lively discussions and lots of laughter.
We all found the beds to be comfortable, and our niece & nephew particularly enjoyed the bunk room.
There were a few maintenance issues (sinks not draining properly, door lock not working, etc.), but Carolina Cabin Rental came the same day. Their maintenance person was friendly and quickly took care of the issues. We also found the phone reps for Carolina Cabin Rentals to be helpful as well.
The only downside to the property (4 stars vs 5 stars) was the state of the walls and some of the furniture (owner issues). Many of the walls were scratched, wallpaper in the upstairs hall bathroom was falling off, a deck chair had a broken seat, etc.
None of the above kept us from having a wonderful time - it just felt "tired" compared to the caliber of the location & view.
We truly loved our stay & we're hoping to return next year & make even more memories!
