About this house rental
Rocky Meadows Cottage by the Pond is a charming cottage that my husband and I proudly offer as a short-term vacation rental. Nestled in a peaceful mountain setting, the cottage features access to a scenic one-acre pond shared with guests of Cottage by the Pond and Rocky Meadows Cottage on the Ridge. The pond provides a relaxing spot to enjoy nature, watch wildlife, fish, or simply unwind by the water.
Located just 3.5 miles from Main Street in Blowing Rock, you'll enjoy easy access to local shops, restaurants, and attractions while still feeling tucked away in your own private retreat. The cottage is only minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and conveniently situated just off scenic Highway 221 on the way to Grandfather Mountain.
Families will love the opportunity to pitch a tent along the pond's shoreline for a memorable camping experience, while outdoor enthusiasts can explore the adjacent woods and nearby hiking trails.
For those seeking the perfect combination of seclusion and convenience, Rocky Meadows Cottage by the Pond offers a peaceful mountain getaway close to everything the High Country has to offer.

We had a great stay at the little cottage by the pond. We enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Blowing Rock and Boone. We enjoyed seeing some of the wildlife. We did see a rather large snake in and around the pond, so it would’ve helped my paranoia had the grass been cut prior to our arrival, but other than that it was perfect and we can’t wait to go back!

The host was great to communicate with. Homemade soap was an extra nice touch. Pond was fun for our granddaughter to fish in. Very pet friendly and super nice neighbors up the hill. Close to fun activities, like Tweetsies. Also, grocery store close by. The grill was nice for our dinners as well.

Great little cabin and so convenient and close to everything! 3 miles from downtown Blowing Rock. Very comfortable my husband and I, two young daughters, and two dogs. Stocked with everything we need. Comfy beds! And the pond was picturesque. We hoped to do more fishing but it rained most of our time here. Will definitely be back!
