Birthday in Blowing Rock

We were in Blowing Rock to celebrate the my husband’s birthday and knew it would be a beautiful time and place to celebrate. Our VRBO was easy to find and located about 2 blocks from down town. The accommodations were cozy and Christmas-y and we were even privy to a dusting of snow the last evening there. Everything at our place was ample and well stocked. We reccomend it heartily!

Respite in the mountains.

It was a lovely condo and I understand it has been completely refurbished in the last year. Everything was clean and comfortable, and my friend and I enjoyed our visit very much. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and would go there again.

For us it was walking distance to town & easy walk or drive to my daughter’s house. Great brew pubs in blowing rock & close to Booneshine brewery. Obviously, we like our beer. Great condo & host. Terrific furnishings too.

Clean and convenient condo in great location

My family of 4 stayed at this property for the weekend visiting our oldest at App. Perfect location for walking to the shops and restaurants while having the space to spread out. The place was clean and set up perfectly for a family of 4. The owners did a nice job updating the furniture and decor and the fireplace would be a plus in the winter. Would recommend and visit again!

Respite is accurate description

Sweet place for some quiet, with opportunities to explore. Two turns off main road for easy access to everything. 10 min walk to downtown with cute shops, great food, and gorgeous parks. 6 minute drive Cone Memorial Park. Condo was spacious and very clean. Kitchen had everything needed. Could only hear upstairs neighbor walking during morning silence, not enough to disturb. Was completely silent otherwise.

We had a small family gathering for an App State football game. The condo is very comfortable and spot on clean! The kitchen is well stocked with cookware. The TV is easy to navigate. The only recommendation is more bath towels. We only had four. I would recommend this property.

Great location!

This town home is within walking distance to the middle of downtown Blowing Rock. Very convenient! Very clean. The kitchen had all the necessities. The first night we noticed the bed in the master bedroom was very soft. My wife and I both prefer a firmer bed. That said, when we looked at the mattress the following morning, we saw that there was a large layer of foam on top of the mattress. This is great if you prefer a soft bed, We were able to remove the pad, and slept on just the mattress the remainder of our time there and had no issues. We would definitely stay here again!

Uncomfortable

I generally like staying at Royal Oaks condos, but I found the Q bed and living room furniture to be very uncomfortable. The 2nd bedroom was too bright to sleep due to a security light right outside the window. After barely sleeping 10 nights in a row, I went home almost a week early. Also renters should be aware that advertised air conditioning is NOT central air but a motel style unit that cools the living room but not the bedrooms.This was all unfortunate because the unit was clean and fine otherwise
