We enjoyed cool July weather in this quaint cottage with wonderful views of the mountain ranges.

What a lovely, relaxing get-away. The mountain views were ever changing as low lying clouds filled the valley below and we were treated to a full moon to light the night sky. The home was just right for this couple's stay. The kitchen was well appointed for meal prep and the furnishings thru out the house were comfortable. The house was easily located (thanks to good directions provided) and accessible. The area was very quiet,. Perfect for escaping noise of everyday life. Yet, you were only a few miles from downtown Blowing Rock. Thanks for the ease of booking, timely communication and accurate representation of this property.

We stayed in the cabin for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Terrific view, very cozy, close to Blowing Rock.

Although the back deck had not been cleaned off, the inside was very clean, well appointed, and very much felt like home. It was nicely decorated, and small additions were included to make life a little easier. Items like plastic wrap, charcoal, and even a hand mirror were included. This cabin was easy to access and only a short drive to town. We brought the dogs. The yard was huge and fenced. Couches and beds were very comfy. All-in-all, I would rate this an A+. Oh, and the view was to die for.

We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was perfect for our small family, pet friendly, amazing views and so close to Blowing Rock. We had a fantastic time and will be back!

The cottage was nice and very comfortable. It has a lovely view.
The only issue I had was with check-in. I am oxygen dependent and equipment was being delivered. Hurricane Ian was due to come in and a request was made for an earlier check-in time so the equipment could be delivered. I received a quick response saying I could check-in at 1pm (3 hours early) for $85 + tax.

Peaceful location about 10 mins outside of Blowing Rock town center. The cottage is very clean and well appointed with newer appliances and comfy furnishings. Fantastic unobstructed mountain views from the living area, one bedroom and the deck.

Magical mountain view
Well appointed kitchen,
Comfortable bedrooms, cozy living room, about 10 min drive to great Blowing Rock restaurants and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Large fenced yard and stunning views of the mountains from the back porch. Would stay here again.

We enjoy the drive up parking and not having to take our stuff up stairs. The home is beautifully decorated and clean. We go just to watch the sunrise and rest. We don't feel the need to go find entertainment, although this is close to Boone, Blowing Rock, and more

We were very pleased with the mountain views, peace & quiet, cooler temperatures, once the tropical storm passed through.
Location was convenient to resturants, shopping, attractions,
grocery stores in Boone and Blowing Rock. The Blowing Rock attraction with museum and nice gift shop was worth the cost and hour or so of your time. Nice towels and very good water pressure which made for great hot showers. Kitchen is updated with heavy duty soft close cabinets, newer appliances, granite countertops, plenty of dishes, glasses, baking pans, skillets etc.
I didn't prepare any large meals but I have no doubt you could in this kitchen. I did think the lighting was lacking in the kitchen.
Stocked with cleaning supplies, spices, iron & iron board , blow dryer, starter paper products.
Plenty of books and several puzzles and games. As other reviewers mentioned, the skylights did not leak.
There were non-central A/C units which we did not need. in the
(LR and Deck side bedroom) Plenty of pillows, two throws, three
blankets. Con: The hard wood floors were not clean.

Wonderful Stay
This cabin was perfect for our visit. 8” of snow greeted us so the beautiful fireplace burned the entire stay. The “long view” is beautiful in any season and we were even able to spend a sunny afternoon out on the deck.

Great stay with an amazing view.
The view was amazing. But you are isolated on a steep mountain but only 9-10 minutes from the town. Didn’t like the drive up the hills but blowing rock was great and the house had all the amentities you could need. There was a bit of a leak from the skylights in the living room when it rained and there were a few bugs but nothing unbearable. Great stay.

Response
Last time we stayed at this home we have it 5 stars. When we came in fireplace did not work. Dead out of gas. 4 hours later gas was filled and switch did not work. Dish washer filled with dishes. Freezer door cut a 6 in mark on my chest do to broken handle not replaced and sharp edge left. Not fun or relaxing.

My Vacation
It was a very beautiful place to stay. My only complaint was that there was a lot of flies and ladybugs inside the cabin.

Enjoyed a long weekend getaway with our adult children. Easy check-in. Great location. Very clean upon arrival - we even had a new sponge provided for kitchen. Beds comfortable. View is spectacular. Couches also very comfy and cozy. Even throw blankets smelled like they had been washed. Gas log fireplace was so nice! Huge deck with lots of furniture/grills. Kitchen well equiped. Plenty of nightable space - though could use better accessibility to outlets for charging phones. Shelves in bathroom provided plenty of space for toiletries for multiple people. A very enjoyable, comfortable stay!

After having bad experiences in years past, cloud croft was perfect for us. Clean, bright , one level and parking at door. Mountain scene from deck and inside was panoramic.
Will definitely rent again!!!!

View is fantastic. Cushions were soaked and could only sit out there one afternoon after draining pillows which poured water out of them. Refrigerator had broken handle which was unattached at one end. Skylights leak in the rain and the sofa got wet. The TV set up is not intuitive and 4 remotes have infinite numbers of options for which input you need to set up. The bedding had a vague body odor to it and pillows were flat and marginal at a low grade motel. Dishwasher is also not intuitive to operate so count on a few try’s to make it work. Pushing normal and start did not work. Flashing light mentions timer reset. We thought we set it but on return it had not started. Other items for cooking were minimal so bring your own favorite utensils. Funny they have a Keurig Device and a tiny 4 cup coffee maker on the counter. If you are a Keurig user and travel with the coffee supplies needed you would be happy, but that is not us. We found a standard 12 cup deep in the back of a cabinet however so swapped out for the 4 cup. The tub also dripped and the property manager let us know in advance about that. The dripping sound blended into the rain so that was all fine.This stay had more than the usual share of little issues. The view is fantastic if I did not mention that.
