About this house rental

Relax and enjoy the layered mountain views from the decks of this this one-of-a-kind Blowing Rock property! A classic mountain Round House has been updated and expanded into a truly charming nest with many touches of home.

As soon as you enter the main level, you'll immediately notice the beautiful mountain views. Windows by the dining table provide a great vantage point as you enjoy your meal, and you're sure to enjoy preparing meals in the well-stocked large kitchen with wine rack, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters.

Through the kitchen is the original round house, complete with the intricate overhead beams. Today the round house is the gathering point of the cabin, and has a cozy living room with leather reclining furnishings, a stone gas log fireplace, sliding doors out to the deck, and large HDTV. Off the living room is a bedroom with a King bed, and a full bathroom with a soaking tub and separate tiled shower. There is also a bonus room off the living room with a full-size Murphy bed and an HDTV.

Downstairs is the spacious master suite. This room has a King bed, two large closets, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and an HDTV. The private ensuite bath has a Jacuzzi tub, separate tiled shower, and a double vanity. There is also a glassed-in sunroom off this bedroom.

Soak in the beautiful views of Johns River Gorge off the main level deck. Watch raptors soar and dive in the crisp air currents. At night, you'll easily spot the twinkling lights of the Town of Blowing Rock. There is even a small patch of level grassy yard area for the four-legged family members to enjoy.

With all that this beautiful home has to offer, you may not ever want to leave. When you do, you'll find yourself only 5 minutes from downtown Blowing Rock's shopping and dining, 12 minutes from Boone, and just two miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Bass Lake. Everything that the High Country has to offer is just a short drive away, so come make A Nest With a View your new getaway!

We loved the location, layout, and mountain view of this home. It was very clean. The communication from the Property Manager was clear and concise. We plan to rent this home in the future.

The bottom line is that this is a lovely cabin in a great location, and I'd happily stay here again. The view out the back is spectacular. The kitchen is nicely stocked, though if there's anything specific you need for a cooking project bring it with you. The couches upstairs are really nice. Getting in and out is kind of odd, as the front door leads to an incredibly long raised wooden walkway and the easiest way to get to your car is a sliding glass door in the second upstairs bedroom. We had a really nice time here. There are a few issues that need addressing. There are no curtains in the main room, and the sun tends to create a powerful glare if you're sitting on the bigger couch or trying to watch TV. The front door has a gap that lets a lot of cold air in during the winter months. The main bedroom upstairs is not really insulated, and it gets quite cold. There seems to be some sort of secondary heater in that room, but there are no directions for it and it's hard to figure out. The TV in the main room needs to be updated to something that has more HTML ports, and it would be good to have some basic instructions for it. Contacting the hosts was hard. I couldn't tell whether we were supposed to use VRBO or some other method, and we got some messages that indicated a lack of communication between the various entities involved in the place. Everyone was nice, but two times I asked simple questions that never got answered at all. All of this would be fairly easy to fix.

This house was simply wonderful! The inside of the house far exceeded the images. I just loved the rustic, yet modern feel. The beams and wood ceiling are special. The bathrooms and kitchen are updated and well equipped. Beds comfy. OK, now I have to mention the views. Yes that is plural. There are amazing views of the mountains from so many places in the house. You just drink it in from the dining room, kitchen, living room, upper level deck, lower level deck.... I highly recommend this property.
