We have stayed at a number of places around the Blowing Rock area over the past 10 years, and all of them have plusses and minuses. When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned. However, upon contacting the agent/owner, a cleaning team was sent within 30 minutes, and they thoroughly cleaned the house. The WiFi cut off promptly at 10PM every night. The TV ran off the WiFi, so there was no TV between 10PM and 8AM every day, and there was no reliable cell service without it. We were told that the cable company was doing work on the system, and that this was a temporary situation. Speaking of TV, it is connected to ROKU, which has a large selection of FOX stations and not much else. You can get a decent selection of movies, but they all come with loads of commercials. Bring some DVDs with you if you plan to watch any TV. On the positive side, the house is well maintained, the kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils, pots and pans, glasses and china. There was a nice selection of spices and herbs. All the major appliances were clean and in good condition, which is not always the case in rentals. The master bathroom was excellent, with two sinks and a jacuzzi. The hot tub is great, and even though there is a house right next door, the tub is located on a deck behind the house, that is reasonably secluded. The neighborhood is quiet, surrounded by woods, and yet it is only a few minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, and the Parkway.

Will not book a stay through VRBO again

We enjoyed our visit. The place was clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Hope to return again soon.

Overall a very nice stay. Well stocked with everything we needed. Disappointed in dirty outdoor furniture(could not use). Also, the cottage needs more lighting(too dark). This is out of your control, but we feel we should say there was a nearby cabin occupant/owner who lets their dog wander off leash and it spent quite a bit of time outside our cottage to do its business. We enjoyed our stay and felt very relaxed with all the amenities. Thank you.

Property was well located, maintained, and provisioned. It was perfect for our long weekend visit.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Location was perfect, hot tub was wonderful. Overall very pleased and we will be back.

Pretty good

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this quiet setting while attending to many wedding activities for our son’s wedding. This was the perfect location to get away from all of the hustle and bustle during the week.
