Located in Blowing Rock, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 9-minute drive to Appalachian Ski Mountain or the 9-minute drive to Tweetsie Railroad (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV; there's also a video-game console. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave and cookware. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include bed sheets, an ironing board, and heating.
