About this house rental
This relaxing recently updated 2BR/1BA cottage is steps away from every shop, restaurant, playground, and bar in The Village. Leave your keys in the car for the weekend and walk everywhere. From Music on the Lawn (which you can hear from the spacious new front porch) to the lovely wine shop downtown, ice cream at the famous Kilwin’s to dinner at award-winning restaurants – this stylish cottage is the perfect getaway for a family, friends, or a couple wanting to step away from it all.
Living Areas
This delightful cottage boasts charming details and original hardwood flooring. An open dining room and living room are perfect for sharing a meal or playing a board game. A spacious kitchen is stocked with all the essentials for cooking a delicious breakfast before heading out for shopping downtown, a hike at Bass Lake or a ride on Tweetsie the train.
Bedrooms & Bath
Step into a restful retreat in the large master bedroom. Designed with relaxation in mind, cozy up under a blanket in the reading nook or take an afternoon nap in the plush king-size bed with a luxurious memory-foam mattress. With its large size, easily fit a crib (there’s one onsite) or air mattress right in the room. Our queen bedroom is not only stylish but comfortable. The nearby guest bath features custom wall art with a double vanity, bathtub and shower.
Outdoor Spaces
The newly renovated front porch of this house is made for fun and relaxation! In the afternoon, take the kids across the street to the incredible Blowing Rock Elementary playground. In the evenings, retreat to the front porch to reflect on your day in the comfortable outdoor furniture and enjoy a beer while listening to music on the lawn (from May to October). A small but inviting front yard is surrounded by a hedge for privacy. Sit under the apple tree in a double Adirondack lounger to maximize your time away or fire up the on-site propane grill for a cookout.
Extra Amenities & Details
Guest amenities include a washer/dryer, crib and high chair, parking for one car at the main house with access to more parking by request. Enjoy a ping-pong tournament or shuffleboard game in the garage game room.

This cottage has everything! No need to bring coffee, tea or creamer. They have plenty of supplies and the kitchen had everything. Beds are super comfortable. The cottage is filled with light. The porch has a delightful swing and plenty of seating! Loved our visit. J O’Connor

This was a perfect house for our family. It was very clean and well stocked. The location was perfect! We walked everywhere in Blowing Rock and very convenient to get to Boone and the parkway for hikes and exploring outdoors. We will definitely stay here again!

This was my first visit to Blowing Rock. My sister and I stayed at the cottage and loved it. The location is perfect and you can walk everywhere in town. We had a blast in the evenings playing ping pong. Such a great overall experience.

This place is absolutely perfect. The hosts were fantastic, and so accommodating. If you are planning on coming to Blowing Rock, NC, I would highly recommend this beautiful home. It’s right in the heart of downtown, but nestled on a tree lined street, so you feel like there’s no one else around. We can’t wait to come back. The Wrights

This was great for our family (kids ages 5, 3, and 6 months). The travel crib and high chair made packing much easier, and we could walk to the playground and dinner. We will definitely be back!

This was our second time staying at this property and it is perfect for our Winterfest weekend. The property has a perfect location - walking distance to everything downtown Blowing Rock but private enough to get away from the bustle. We will continue to come back here for our future trips.

My wife and I take an annual trip to Blowing Rock for Winterfest and decided to try this place out this year. We will definitely look to come back in the future - the house is fantastic, close walking distance to downtown, but secluded enough that it's very quiet at night. This is a gem for Blowing Rock and highly recommend.

5.0 / 5.0
As convenient and charming as advertised, quick response on one small issue, lots of the little amenities that make your stay easier, impressed with the high quality linens.
Only downside is the parking situation, they really need to carve out a real parking space.

This cottage was very clean, cozy, well appointed and close to everything. Comfy beds, plush towels and so many extras I can't even begin to list. The owners left helpful info about where to eat, shop and play. But the real highlight for us was the large front porch. We were out there every morning for coffee, late afternoons for cocktails and after dinner for "wind-down". This was my first trip to Blowing Rock but definitely not my last!!

Perfect summer getaway
This property is clean and well maintained, pretty interior design, comfortable beds. The location is perfect—walk to two parks, walk to bass lake and cone manor trail systems, short drive to excellent hikes with stunning views. This is our second trip to the Laurel house and we hope to return again next summer!

Wonderful property and hosts
The property was just as described. When we arrived it was spotless. A nice selection of games; we played Yahtzee on the front porch one evening. The location is very private, and yet just a short walk to downtown Blowing Rock. We also took our grandson to Tweetsie which is just a few miles up the street. The home is also very close to the Cone Manor, where we enjoy taking a walk or hiking.
The hosts are excellent. We had a few questions and they responded to our queries within minutes.
Would certainly stay again!

Exceptional property. As advertised.
Tight parking if in a large SUV. Park in lot just across the street. 50 ft from front door. No big deal.
