The Dala House | Scandinavian Retreat in Blowing Rock

Thoughtfully designed for gathering, relaxing, and making memories, The Dala House is a place we love sharing with others. Nestled among the trees on Misty Mountain, The Dala House is a Scandinavian-inspired retreat just minutes from downtown Blowing Rock. Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and furnished with carefully collected vintage pieces, it's a home we've loved creating—and one we're delighted to share with our guests.

Filled with warm natural textures, inviting gathering spaces, and timeless mountain style, The Dala House reflects a love of thoughtful design and carefully collected vintage furnishings, creating a home that feels welcoming, comfortable, and easy to settle into.

Whether you're hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway, skiing Appalachian Ski Mountain, exploring downtown shops, or curling up by the fireplace with a good book, The Dala House was designed to feel like home in every season.

More than a place to stay, The Dala House was created for slow mornings, memorable dinners, board games by the fire, and making new mountain traditions together.
