We have stayed at this property multiple times - it’s like our home away from home! Always clean, comfortable, great location to all the shops and restaurants in town, private parking, and the owners are terrific. On our recent stay we were happy to see a brand new television in the main living area with Roku which made streaming our favorite shows all the easier. Also there are lots of windows (with screens) to let in light and fresh air, too. Highly recommend!

Outstanding property and experience!

Clean, homey, excellent location, well-appointed, and the most lovely owners ever. My son and I were in town for two nights to visit a friend and do some Christmas shopping. We felt like we were staying with family. Susan was very quick to respond to all communication and she wanted to make sure that our stay exceeded our expectations. It did! This was honestly THE CLEANEST rental property at which we've ever stayed. Be sure to visit their shop downstairs. Gaines has some of his beautiful and unique jewelry available for purchase. He also does custom pieces as well as wood furniture. Thank you, Gaines and Susan, for such an enjoyable stay. We look forward to returning in the near future!

Mountain treasure

We have stayed here multiple times over the past 5 years and every time is wonderful. This property is beautiful, comfortable and private...no town noise. It is in the best location possible, just steps from Main Street. The owners are delightful and accommodating. It is always our first choice in short term rentals in Blowing Rock.
