Super comfortable. Discovered we didnt have toaster but a quick mesaage to Emily and we had one that day. Only one minor complaint, the ad says 2 twin beds but it is a twin and rollout trundle which isnt real suitable for aduts in their late 60s. Lol. But one of our group canceled last minute so did'nt even matter. We came fir an annual sports car event and if we dont come next year to stay there, we will highly recommend The Carriage House!

We loved our stay in Emily’s Carriage House! It was exactly as described, and was charming. There was plenty of room for five adults and two children, and had ample family gathering space as well. It was a 10 minute walk to town (as advertised), and provided a private and lovely mountain respite.

This was the loveliest home and probably the most well stocked and cleanest place we’ve ever booked for a vacation. The location was convenient to downtown but still felt like country living! Absolutely wonderful and we can’t wait to visit again!!

We were a group of 3 moms and our 3 sons. The home was very clean, upgrades throughout, plenty of space, nice modern touches yet very cozy and blowing rock/cabin themed. The moms enjoyed having our own thermostat in each room. Was great that we could all be comfortable. We also enjoyed the large dining table and were able to play card games with the kids each night. The kids loved the bonus room with the trundle. They were very comfortable and we all had plenty of room.
Kitchen had lots of supplies - but the restaurants were so close by we didn’t use them. Very short walk to all the restaurants and shoppes.
We would love to stay again.

Our stay was amazing, the house was very cozy and in great location. Only 5 min drive (20 min walk) to grocery store and 10 min drive to Appalachian ski.
Perfect place for family vacation. We had a great time. Thank you.

This is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The owner left many needed essentials such as cleaning supplies and paper goods. I would have liked to have had a little more cabinet or shelf space for certain kitchen items that I bring with me when we travel. However it was great to have nice kitchen appliances already there! Thanks, Emily, for looking out for us. You fixed the fan light promptly!

We enjoyed the Carriage House. Emily has her property well maintained with all the amenities and it is located in a great neighborhood to take a stroll. The property is located five minutes from the park and the community swimming pool. Both are great for the kids to get a good amount of play after consuming pizza at Mellow Mushroom and ice cream at Kilwins!
We had four children under the age of 6 and the games furnished were great to have for
the kids and the adults to play. We used to have property in Blowing Rock that we sold last year and this was our first experience with a VRBO. We have four generations of memories in Blowing Rock and this vacation with the newest generation will be more of many to come. Emily is very easy to contact with answers to questions and very accommodating. Fantastic time was had by us all. We will definitely be back!

Loved it! The Carriage House had everything we needed during our stay and a very easy walk to town. Everyone had their own spacious rooms with plenty of space for their belongings to be stored. You could tell the owner takes pride in the property in how everything was very clean and organized. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils and such for our stay. Again did I mention its only a short walk to town. We didnt even have to use our cars once we arrived! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Blowing Rock. NC. Thanks again!!

We found THE CARRIAGE HOUSE to be too crowded with the owner's belongings. The furniture was outdated and too big for the space. Some shelves and drawers had been cleared for our things, but we felt cramped for space, especially in our bathroom. the master bathroom is very small with very little counter space for our items. As an older couple, we had a problem with the stairs since it was necessary to get to the second floor to enjoy a more comfortable, upgraded space. Each TV operated differently or not at all(with no instructions!), the kitchen is very small , the cabinets are overpacked with items stuffed in with no discernable order, lack of unified air conditioning , a large dehumidifier(?) was running all the time, small upstairs deck has been neglected for some time, a new cleaning crew is needed. Emily was easy to deal with and was very kind. I am sure this property was very nice 20-30 years ago.

This home is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood close to the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Blowing Rock. It had a perfect layout for my husband and I, plus our son's family. Plenty to do for all of us and everything we liked to do was just minutes away! The only minor complaint was that we had trouble with the internet. Perhaps this was because we had so many devices or this might be typical for the NC mountains. Anyway it in no way disturbed our time there. Blowing Rock has plenty of great restaurants and we loved just strolling the downtown. We would love to come back next year!

Lovely and clean home. It was very comfortable and we loved the close proximity to downtown Blowing Rock. It was approximately a 5-6 minute walk to town. Emily was a responsive host.

The owner was very helpful and courteous. Having two master suites was a plus as we brought our adult daughter, son-in-law and her children.

My husband and I stayed at the Carriage House earlier this month and we absolutely loved it! All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and very clean, and the sitting areas/kitchen were extremely well-appointed. There were Keurig pods and tea included, and every cooking tool you could ever need. The location was incredible - it took about 6 minutes to walk right into downtown BR - perfect with the difficulty of parking down there. We would recommend this house to anyone!!

The home was exactly as described and looked just like the pictures. Just a short walk to downtown. Only moved the car once! Everything was beautiful and clean. The home is very spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family of 7, including 3 boys and 2 Grandma's. The owner was very responsive to any question or issue we had. Would highly recommend and plan to return again this Thanksgiving! We've stayed at three different rentals in Blowing Rock and this was by far the best and most comfortable.

I have never booked on Home Away and was very nervous about it, but decided to go for it! I booked this house while in town for a horse show. It was AMAZING!! The house looked just like the pictures. The beds were comfortable, it was very clean, the neighbors friendly. It was exactly what was represented. I was worried about the walk into town because we usually stay at a hotel in town so we can walk. This walk to town was simple!! I cooked several times and found all of the utensils and dishes I needed. It could not have been a better experience!!

Enjoyed yet another most wonderful visit to the Carriage House. We have stayed a couple of times now and I'm sure we will continue to stay there when we do another trip to Blowing Rock. The house is the perfect size and very cozy. It has plenty of parking and is in walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Thanks again!!

We enjoyed the use of the Carriage House during our recent spring break trip with our grandchildren. It was very cozy and relaxing to come back to in the evening after exploring Grandfather Mountain, shopping in Boone, walking to the quaint town of Blowing Rock or a breath taking ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Great location!! Would certainly visit again. Thank you

We had 5 friends go on a weekend ski trip to Sugar Mountain, and this home was the perfect spot for the trip. Very close to Sugar Mountain, and we were able to stop on the way to rent affordable ski equipment. The home itself is cozy and spacious, had plenty of parking for us, and was in a great location near restaurants and coffee shops in Blowing Rock. Loved being able to settle down in a comfortable home after a long day of skiing, and was very easy to get to the slopes quickly each day. Would absolutely recommend for any stay nearby, whether to ski, hike, or enjoy the nearby shop and restaurants.
