2nd time staying here. Love it. Comfy beds, great layout, nicely appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Perfect for our whole group. Teens went skiing, adults went shopping, reading, puzzle making, and watched a fabulous snowfall. We will be back!

What a perfect home for my family trip! Great space for everyone and it never once felt cramped. My 2 older labs had a wonderful time too running around the backyard. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for all the communication before the trip.

As always, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alpine Bliss! This is the third year we have spent a week there. The location is outstanding: Only 5 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, 8-10 minutes to the little town of Blowing Rock with many unique shops and excellent dining, 15 minutes to Boone and Appalachian State, and in the winter, just steps away from snow skiing. Lindsey was prompt, pleasant, and very helpful with any questions or assistance we needed! We highly recommend.

This was our second time in this lovely, comfortable home for an Easter weekend getaway for our small family (and fur babies). Although the weather was not as nice as we would have liked, we enjoyed movies/TV, games, puzzles and reading by the cozy fireplace. All of our questions were promptly answered by the hosts -- excellent communication. We look forward to another visit in the future!

The location was perfect for our family ski trip. We were able to watch the slopes from the front window! The house was great and as described. Unfortunately some of our family got sick during our trip, however the house was comfortable and accommodating to all our needs.

We enjoyed the house so much. It is in a perfect location, everything was comfortable and clean. There were even plastic "saucers" for my grandchildren to play with in the snow. We appreciated having the "starter" items in the house. Being able to wash your hands or run the dishwasher the first night makes arrival easier. We would definitely rent this property again and recommend it, especially for families.

Our family has enjoyed this home the last couple years over Thanksgiving. Clean home and fantastic communication from hosts. Great location; super easy to get into Boone/BR. Our dog loves the backyard—and the snow from ASM is an added bonus!

This home is an excellent value and it was our second time staying here. It is 7-10 minutes from Boone or Blowing Rock and the accommodations are excellent! We wanted for nothing during our stay and had a fantastic time!

We absolutely loved our weekend at this home. The location is great for hiking and proximity to wonderful restaurants. The house is very clean and cozy. My favorite part is hearing the whistle of Tweetsie railroad from the deck! Will definitely return!

This was our second stay at Alpine Bliss, and we knew when we booked the stay that it was a good choices for us. We love the Blowing Rock area and booked a full week stay. There are numerous excellent restaurants in the town of Blowing Rock. Since there is a very nice kitchen in this home, we did a combination of dining at some of our favorite restaurants and also getting takeout meals. We had our Yorkie traveling with us so had to include her on some of the meals! We only used a portion of the home as it has a second main level bedroom plus an upstairs with beds, living area, and tv - great for the teenagers! Lindsey and Whalen have recently upgraded the deck with a Trex floored deck. Also, they have re-painted the entire exterior with an attractive tan/gray color finish! A great location and a comfortable vacation home!

We went up for our son's graduation with two families. The house is perfect for multiple ages and families to enjoy each other and yet has two separate spaces. One with a gorgeous mountain view and the other a cozy fireplace for conversation. Fenced yard was a major plus for the pup!

The house was an amazing location for my friends and I to snowboard at Appalachian Ski Mountain. The hosts replied quickly with any random question I had. I highly recommend this property. Plenty of space and I love that I didn't have to board my little chihuahua. Thank you! I'll book again here next season.

Perfect ski vacation!
This house was just as described, with lots of space for our ski weekend. Our two boys loved the upstairs area found the bed really comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the gas grill was perfect for Valentine’s Day steaks! The master bed was really comfortable as well. The best amenity was walking out the door, across the street and through the gate to ski. Also, Lindsey was very responsive to my questions. We would 100% come back to this rental again.

Alpine Bliss was the perfect home for our annual family Thanksgiving trip to Blowing Rock. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay -- and our pup loved it, too.

Great Getaway Location
We were very pleased with the Alpine Bliss, both the home and location. We were looking for a pet friendly place near the town of Blowing Rock,, which offered privacy and scenic views. This turned out to be the perfect place. Ten minutes to the town of Blowing Rock, even less to the Blue Ridge Parkway! We felt quite at home, which was fortunate. It was raining, cloudy, and foggy most of the entire week we were there. As a result, we spent much more time at Alpine Bliss with our Yorkie than originally planned!!

Definitely a favorite!
This place was great! Wonderful backyard with a fence for our dog and son to play safely. Great location-easy to get to local, favorite spots. Beautiful views, nice deck to enjoy the views, lots of living space and the loft is a fantastic space for kids.
