Winter Trip

The house was great, perfect location with a wonderful backyard for kids. The property owner was very warm and receptive. She reached out several times prior to the trip to offer suggestions and provide additional information about the house. Would definitely stay here again. Plus there are deer everywhere!

Very Nice Getaway

We had a very pleasant stay at this cute bungalow near Blowing Rock and Boone. It was clean and well-stocked and very convenient to the areas we would be spending time in over the weekend. Our communication with the owner was efficient and timely. We enjoyed our time here very much!

Ideal holiday destination for exploring Blue Ridge Parkway

Great accommodation for the three of us. Well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms & comfy bedrooms. Ideally placed for exploring Blowing Rock, Moses H Cone, Grandfather Mtn and so much more. We also enjoyed daily visits to Camp Coffee. Wished we were able to have stayed longer here as Ada's Cottage was just so relaxing.

Comfortable and calm cottage with beautiful view and great location

This cottage is very comfortable for a family of 4, with plenty of space to relax. The mountain views from the top deck are nice. The location is very close to the town and easy to get to. The owner also provided useful information on local places to eat. We would stay here again.

Peaceful Stay

This rental was all that was advertised and more. Very easy to load and unload your car, no steps to climb. Cleanest house ever. Well stocked kitchen. The fire pit was perfect for morning coffee as well as evening wind down. Very close to downtown Blowing Rock but very quiet and peaceful. Deer are in the area, we saw them almost every day. The book shelf was filled with so many good books, something for everyone. Not nearly enough time to flip thru all the interesting ones. We will definitely check availability at this one on our next trip to Blowing Rock. Thank you Nancy for a really nice stay.

Ada's Cottage was lovely. So comfortable and homey...everything we needed and then some. The views were incredible, especially the sunsets. We loved the Blowing Rock. Good restaurants and fun cute shops. We would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Pyle

Host profile image
Hi, and thank you for reading this profile! I am a retired NC special educator with 4 grown children, ages 30-37. After living in IN, TN, KY, MO, and RI myself and my 4 children have settled in North Carolina. My husband and I live in the Charlotte area and I manage and clean the property myself each week. I employ a maintenance man to keep the property in the best condition possible. I love my octangular shaped home with the large floor to ceiling windows that look out onto Grandfather Mountain and I love to share it with others too!

Why they chose this property

I enjoy bringing joy to others by providing a home in which you can create memories and develop relationships in a setting that is conducive to outdoor activities; from sledding and skiing in the winter to hiking and just relaxing in the Adirondack chairs around the gas firepit or hammock during the other seasons. My home is situated on a half acre consisting of seasonally flowering plants and trees and a large grassy back yard. Inside you will find cozy and comfortable bedding and unique Bearfoot Bears throughout the home. Ceiling to floor bookshelves in the front room are filled with books for all ages. There's a hammock for the back deck and sleds for the gently sloping driveway on the side of the property located in the lower level. Games and puzzles are in the coffee table and TV stand. Spectrum streaming on the TVs provide national and local news as well as movies and series to watch.

What makes this property unique

+Only 1 mile from Blowing Rock's center of town, with their many festivals, playground and gazebo on the green, excellent restaurants, art gallery, and quaint gift shops
+Across the street from the Blowing Rock Golf Course (Private) and Boone Country Club Golf Course (Public)
