The home itself is nice, very dated and a weird layout. Steps to downstairs are very steep. The location is ok, its definitely more than two blocks, for a short cut to downtown you have to walk through the back yard and down more steep steps!

Great long weekend in Blowing Rock. The owner was so welcoming and the house was the perfect size and location for our stay. Convenient and well equipped with all your get away needs. Our family will for sure return and rent again.

Nice place close to town.

Comfortable property with an easy walk into town.

We were visiting extended family in Blowing Rock, and wanted somewhere for our family to sleep. Norge Knoll was just what we needed. The upstairs is perfect for ~4 people, and the downstairs can accommodate an additional 2. It's nice that the downstairs has a separate bath, kitchen and entrance if additional privacy is needed. The house is a short distance to Bass Lake, which is a wonderful place to run or walk, and easily walkable to the center of Blowing Rock. Highly recommended!

Great proximity to Blowing Rock!

I visit Blowing Rock each year for the symphony by the lake. It is an opportunity to share something special with my Mom. This home was the icing on the cake. Though it does not have cooling, it is not needed. I can not imagine a better place to stay. Close to town and just a mile from Mose Cone entrance to the bass lake, a wonderful place to hike.

Nice and comfortable home in one of the best neighborhoods in Blowing Rock. Charming and picturesque residential area. Only five minute walk to the center of the village. Literally walk through the back yard and across the street to Bistro Roca, a favorite gathering spot for locals and visitors year round. The self contained downstairs was great for the younger adults while the upstairs accomodating for the one and two-up generations (main floor, no steps.) Owner very prompt on returning emails. Price nicely competitive for area. Thanks for making this available!

The Norge Knoll was the perfect retreat for our family. It felt secluded while so close to town we could walk, not to mention hiking trails nearby! While temperatures were soaring in Raigh, we were perfectly comfortable at the Norge Knoll, even without out AC. Everything we needed was provided in the home, and we all found the beds very comfortable. The Norge Knoll will definitely be my first pick when we plan our next trip to Blowing Rock!

We loved the location and home. It was perfect for our family of 6!

We stayed for Appalachian State University Graduation. The location was great. It kept us a little farther out from all of the graduation traffic of the weekend! Very comfortable home. Lovely neighborhood! Wish it had AC or an attic fan! We would have used it this weekend! It was hard to cool the kitchen down after cooking. Loved the property.

Loved the place! We rented this home at last minute (day before) and the homeowner was very quick to respond and give us all the information we needed. Very clean and comfortable home. You can tell that they are truly interested in their house guests' comfort and try to provide every amenity you could possibly need. Plenty of soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The weather was great and our two grandkids loved playing outside in the yard. The location was also great. Very close to downtown Blowing Rock, within a couple of blocks walking distance. Also, a very nice restaurant located a short walk through the back yard and down some stairs to the street below, Bistro Roca, that we had lunch at on Easter Sunday. Delicious food! Thanks again, Jeanne, we truly enjoyed our weekend getaway at your home!

Clean , convenient and excellent communication with the owner

We enjoyed our two night stay in Brockman's Norge Knoll. The house is well equipped with everything you need, and Jeanne (owner) is so delightful to work with. I failed to notice the lack of air conditioning when I booked the house, but we honesty did not need it. The fresh air was awesome, and there is a unit in the room with the king size bed and fans elsewhere. We actually had a deer on the back lawn when we woke the first morning - a nice surprise! You could walk to everything from the house, but it would be a really steep climb back up to the house from downtown. However, the drive is short and easy. All in all, a wonderful stay!

Our brief stay at Norge Knoll was terrific. My wife and I, and our daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters were more than comfortable. Norge Knoll is spacious, well-located, and well-equipped.

I was worried about the fact that there was no air conditioner. It was 95 degrees when I left home. We opened the windows to enjoy the cool mountain air and was comfortable the rest of our stay. Should not have worried. We found the location to be perfect because it was close to all the things we wanted to see. We thank the owner for allowing us to use her lovely mountain house.

We've been to Blowing Rock every summer for several years now. This was our first stay at The Norge Knoll. We really enjoyed the convenience of being within walking distance of downtown. Pros: Very good location - within easy walking distance of the park & downtown. Communication with owner was good. Very fast internet service. New appliances in the kitchen (although the water/ice in the fridge had not yet been hooked up and the dishwasher was not properly fastened/installed) Cons: The house could use a through cleaning. I had to sweep debris/spider webs, etc. out of the entryway upon arrival. The house smelled musty/closed up upon arrival. There is no whole house A/C. I missed this detail in the listing but the weather was cool enough during our stay that this was not an issue. There is very little comfortable furniture in the living room. At first we thought there was a very limited supply of towels & washcloths but we discovered that there were a number in the dryer which had not been emptied from the previous use. Likewise with the dishes in the kitchen. We found the dishwasher full of items from the previous use.
