Authentic cabin in the mountains
Great property. Our only opinion is the basement is a little cool and damp. Location is good drive away from Blowing Rock. Owners are excellent. Rustic and charming.Elevation is roughly 3,400 feet according to topographic maps, but I could be a bit off.Enjoyed the stay.

Awesome location!!
Our stay at the 3-story Cool Cottage was absolutely perfect! The cabin is spacious, with plenty of rooms to comfortably accommodate our group, and every corner is thoughtfully designed for relaxation and enjoyment.One of our favorite moments was having coffee on the deck each morning, taking in the breathtaking mountain views. It was the perfect way to start the day and truly made us feel connected to nature.The location is unbeatable—just minutes from Blowing Rock and Boone, with Grandfather Mountain State Park steps away. We also loved visiting the Tweetsie Railroad, which was a fun and memorable experience. Plus, there are countless great restaurants nearby, offering a variety of options for dining out.The cabin itself is clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s the perfect place for anyone looking to relax, explore, and create lasting memories. We can’t wait to return!

Nice rental
Plenty of room for 8 guests to sleep. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice having restrooms on each floor.
The kitchen was small for us. We like to cook when on trips and for 8 people like us who tend to "graze", it was cramped.
Very good supply of cookware, utensils, etc.
Multiple porches was a definite plus and the owners being pet friendly is a bonus.

Stayed 3 nights in the middle of August and enjoyed the cool mountain air . Well equipped kitchen with nice appliances. 4 beds were comfortable . Driveway could be challenging with 2 wheel drive , just get a running start. Wish the view of the mountains was better. Served our purpose for family get together.

Cabin in Blowing Rock
Cute but dated decor. Deck furniture not comfortable. Some cleaning had to be done upon arrival, top of dining table, spider webs, light switches a bit grimy. Just felt like it needed a deep cleaning. Some of the towels were pretty warn. Neighbor dogs were barking during the night from their cages outside. No chairs for the fire ring and if we had known this we would have brought some. Last renters left a huge log or stump in the fire pit but luckily, we were able to make a fire for smores because it could not be moved. Lower level bedroom area was musty. Positives, close to Blowing Rock and Grandfather mountain. Nice peaceful deck out back.

Peaceful cabin, great location, with modern amenities
We booked a last minute stay for Fourth of July weekend to getaway from the city, relax and celebrate our dogs birthday. Blowing Rock/Boone are great getaways to help relieve stress and reset your bodies. With that out of the way, this property was fantastic! Great modern amenities, (dish washer, disposal, WiFi) and a lot of space. Amazing back deck looking over a peaceful forest, yard for dogs and great views on the drive up. Extremely clean and well kept, with all the pots/pans and utensils needed.
Only two very minor gripes. The driveway took a little finessing at first to get our car out the first time, but after we figured out the gravel, It was no problem at all. I wish it was a little closer to downtown blowing rock, but that’s on me not the property owner, they were very transparent as to the 20minute or so drive to blowing rock. Again two very very minor gripes, not even issues. But the drive into/out of town has breathtaking views so really it was a net positive. Larry and Melinda reached out immediately with great details as to the stay, checkin/checkout was seamless. We will definitely stay here again in the future in our next stay in blowing rock. Thank you both for being so accommodating and making our dog Lily’s birthday so special! She had a blast.

Nice place
This home was nice and clean. The property was nice and well taken care of. I had no issues with communication with the property owners at all, and they seemed very nice. However, I feel compelled to share that it was not 15-20 min to our ski area (Appalachian Mountain) it was 30 minutes which was somewhat frustrating as we traveled here daily to and from. Also, the downstairs was not as warm as the rest of the house and the hot water did not work as well in the downstairs shower as everywhere else in the home. Beside these 2 concerns, the property was a great fit for what we needed.
