The electric fireplace/heater in the family room can be run without heat creating the perfect cozy effects in the summer. There is high speed streaming WiFi and a TV located in the family room with full cable. There are also two additional TV's; one in an upstairs loft with Nintendo Wii and one in the bunk room with an old version of Xbox360. Feel free to have the kids bring their own gaming systems and hook them up. There is a landline phone in the home. The home is very clean and we do not allow smoking or pets. The home is situated on a one acre lot on a cul-de-sac. It is truly private yet within a very exclusive neighborhood. The lot is wooded with a level yard area perfect and safe for kids to run around and play. There are two ground level patios, one with a barbecue and metal dining table and the other with a fire pit perfect for telling stories and roasting marshmallows. The driveway is asphalt and can easily support four cars. The property and Sweetgrass community can be found on google maps and on the internet, search Sweetgrass, Blowing Rock and you will find the community website with great images of the lake. There is a gate code, that will be provided prior to check-in. As a guest you will have full access to canoes and the lake. Please note that the Lakehouse is for homeowners only and the community quite times are 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. This is truly a private lake experience and peaceful environment and we ask that all guests respect the community rules while you enjoy the amazing lake amenities. Home improvements which are pending new photography: All wood flooring (no carpet), new fire pit chairs, new patio table, artwork throughout the home. Pictures are pending. We had a lapse in rental for the 2022 year as we made some improvements and enjoyed the home for our own use, this is why we do not have reviews during this time. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions and certainly please feel free to submit your booking request. Due to internet scams and email phishing, I only accept payments through VRBO. We hope to make our home your favorite place to stay and return every year.

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during my family’s trip to gawk at the stunning fall foliage. It’s a wonderful, very comfortable, and clean home with great amenities. The home was spacious enough for our family of 6, although it could easily accommodate more people. The downstairs bedroom with an en-suite full bathroom was convenient for my elderly parents.
We absolutely loved all the beautiful trails available within the community as well as the lake.
The location is perfect for drives up the Blue Ridge Parkway as well as quick trips to Blowing Rock and Boone. Very responsive and informative host. We were sad to leave this little piece of paradise! Highly recommend ++++

We had a fantastic stay. This property was perfect for us, my mother is in her late 70's and has limited mobility and she was able to access all common areas with little to no problem. The master downstairs and a second one upstairs and a second room with a queen made it perfect for more than one family to share. The property has everything that you would need. The location was very convenient for trips into Blowing Rock and the community lake was a great location for fishing and for the kids to run around. We have all talked about making this an annual trip when it is cooler so we can make use of the firepit and the outside fireplace.

My family came to the area for me to do a run over Grandfather Mountain and boy we couldn’t have found a better place for our family! We have little kids who love playing on trails and in water, both of which we could walk to from the doorstep. My parents and aunt and uncle came to see our kids and the home accommodated everyone very well, tough for 6 adults and 3 kids under 5. The community was quiet and friendly, and very convenient to everything we needed. I’ll just say Go Vols to close it out.

This house, property, and community are amazing! The house was clean and inviting; perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids (though more would fit comfortably). Highly recommend!

Great place when the weather is not raining! We had rain every day for 5 days straight. There is not much to do when it’s raining and we all got a little cranky. Not the owners fault but important to be aware of if the weather does not cooperate. Unfortunately, the weather did affect our overall experience and will probably not return. The bed situation was not ideal for our family and the bunk beds were not very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was spotty but I imagine that’s the way it is in the mountains. There was plenty of pots and pans but not very many mixing bowls. There is not a blender or hand mixer either. Also, we ran out of toilet paper and paper towels so bring extra. The outdoor fireplace was a nice touch.

Thanksgiving Stay in Blowing Rock!
We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the cabin! We had 6 kids and 4 adults and the space, beds were perfect! And I have to say that the bedding, pillows were some of the most comfortable I have ever stayed on. And it was this was throughout the entire cabin-all beds! We loved the pard for the kids-they could run around, play, search for deer! We saw many deer just in the backyard, it was so cool to watch them. Beautiful! We enjoyed many firepit nights- firepit area was a great bonus! We cooked our thanksgiving meal at the cabin-kitchen was lacking some items but if you aren’t making a huge thanksgiving meal (we just grabbed casserole tins at Publix) you will be fine! Well stocked for your average meals. Location was great, close to town. And the WiFi, internet in house was great! Which is super hard to find in the mountains! Thank you Bill for opening up your cabin-we had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Home
Beautiful home! We hope we can come back one day. Our trip was cut short due to an accident one of our granddaughters had. My one suggestion would be to have a waste basket in the master bath downstairs. It would be nice to have one in each of the bedrooms also.

Perfect mountain escape
This is the second time we have rented this house and it is a perfect mountain getaway. For summer or fall, the hiking trails, lake, and proximity to the town is perfect. This house is very well kept with everything you need ready to go when you get there. I can’t say enough about the owners and how helpful they are with anything you need. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for the month of July 2021. This is one of the best homes that we have ever rented in a spectacular neighborhood. The home is beautifully furnished with new, confortable beds, well equipped, clean and modern. Unlike many of the homes in the area it has a large, flat yard with a fire ring, where grandchildren can safely play and make s'mores .It is even equipped with a corn hole set. The lake at the Sweetgrass community is about a mile away and we spent lovely afternoons playing on the beach and enjoying the canoes and kayaks provided by the community. Sweetgrass is a few minutes from Julius Price Park and Moses Cone Park, which provided a tremendous selection of trails to hike. It was a perfect month!

The house was warm and wonderful, roomy enough for my kids and parents but cozy enough for us to all be together. The community was amazing, with miles of hiking trails and a private lake. And the owners could not have been more accessible and helpful - thank you!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful community and easy access to property. We felt we almost were the only ones in the community as many of the neighboring properties were vacant. We absolutely loved the trials and creek access. House was very clean and nicely decorated.

This home, just like the pictures, is gorgeous and a nice change from the kitchen log cabins seemingly everywhere in the mountains. The lot is perfect with its fire pit, grass and backs up to private trails. We fell in love with the Sweet grass community where we had the stream to ourselves, the lake to ourselves, and could walk all over the community with our stroller and toddler in tow without worrying about some car screaming around the corner because it’s so quiet and gated. I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate that. The community had so many lovely place making touches like River rock at the base of lovely wooden street signs. We are just dying to buy a place in there or stay here again, but they got fully booked through the fall not surprisingly!Back to the home – the furnishings are lovely and beds were super comfortable which is rarely the case so I was very appreciative. We liked how there was a play area at the top of the stairs and the deck was perfect for morning coffee, even if it’s raining. Here are some tips to make sure your stay here is 100%. Make sure to write down the access code to the lock box before you get up there because there wasn’t a signal so we had a little bit of a panicked moment when we couldn’t get in which is the only reason I took the check in process down a star. The owner is sooooo nice though. Some of the community does have signal so it kind of depends, and of course there’s great Wi-Fi once you get into the house. They did have plenty of coffee filters, spices, salt and soap which was great, and we appreciated the quality of the towels. The kitchen doesn’t have some of the things that I’m used to seeing in the home so bring your own blender and If you plan to bake anything, bring your handmixer and any other specialty items you may think you might want. If you are a light sleeper, bring a mask because the adult bedrooms don’t have blackout curtains or shades. The only other thing I would recommend bringing if you don’t like roasting marshmallows on a stick is to bring long metal skewers! I think there also wasn’t a good nonstick pan for eggs, so we’re coming prepared next time.Again, it’s a perfect place to stay for 4-8 people and we will definitely be back if we can find availability when we can go!
