Should have added Saturday to the stay. Stayed in Boone Saturday night - on Sunday we discovered how close Blowing Rock and the cabin was to Boone. Did not stop at amusement part - all we were interested in was a train ride. Unable to get wi-Fi or satellite TV at the cabin. Did not bother the property manager. We played chess and read books.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as advertised, very comfortable and very clean.

Blowing Rock Skies is exactly as described. We found it at all times to be a cozy and pleasing place to relax in. We were three of us: a father (me), his sailor son, and his shipmate. We stayed for the Thanksgiving weekend as the two of them couldn't make it home for the holiday. We each had a bed, which made it nice. With one and a half bathrooms it was an easy fit. The Great room is quite large with lots of couch/chair space. The deck is huge as well. Its view reminded you constantly that you were in the mountains. The whole place had a nice cabin vibe overall. Thankfully, the weather was dry while we were there as I can see that the narrow cliff-edge road to the cabin would be dicey if icy conditions were occurring. I can imagine that the parking would be tight for two vehicles, but we had only one so not a problem. The only negative for me was that there was no dishwasher. Still, I would heartily recommend this cabin for an enjoyable near-by stay for Blowing Rock and Boone. And kudos to those in charge of cleaning. It was very clean upon our arrival.

Cute little cabin, super clean and close to Blowing Rock!

We enjoyed our view at the cabin. It is well furnished and attractive. The road in to the cabin off 321N is a narrow gravel one-lane path down the side of the mountain. I would not feel comfortable driving it at night or in the rain. There are no guard rails. Parking is hard because of the narrow spaces with no room for a turn around. The bedrooms downstairs are very pretty but they had a musty smell. We didn't turn on the dehumidifier because we didn't know the condition of the filter. The towels smelled musty too. Anyone with allergies would not do well there. My daughter developed a sore throat but it went away after she got back home. The cabin is very quiet. We only heard distant traffic and acorns falling on the deck. Ease of check in and check out was great. Overall nice stay but the lower level would cause us not to return.

Great location, responsive host, great cell signal, wish we could have streamed Netflix Xplorie – great add-on but didn’t get to take advantage of it because of the weather Stairwell is dark – make sure to turn light on before heading down! Water gets extremely hot – beware!

Property manager gave excellent directions and check in procedures. We arrived after dark and that was a little hard as the cabin is on a steep, narrow road but I am familiar with the area so wasn’t too surprised. If first time in area: arrive during daylight! Definitely need AWD or 4 wheel drive. Cabin was comfortable and perfect for me and three teens visiting ASU. The view is stunning. Wifi did not work at all. Network not even available but we had cell service. Towels that the management company most likely provides need an upgrade- quality is like from a Motel 8- small and scratchy. Even the boys complained and that is saying something! Kitchen well equipped except could use a larger skillet- Overall , it was lovely and I would return for sure but with my own towels! Nothing like a weekend in Blowing Rock. It is beautiful any time of year.

We had a wonderful stay with the only problem being the lack of good internet. Would recommed this home.
