Family Mtn weekend

Our extended family wanted to go to the mtns after Thanksgiving, since we all live in different cities. The property was perfect for our needs. The location could not have been better and the layout ideal.. so incredibly clean, and the beds were comfy! . Scott, the owner was there when we arrived, and is just the perfect host. Definitely would recommend this property to anyone looking for a mountain trip.

Perfect place to stay

We loved Scott's place! Scott does a fantastic job communicating and is a real nice guy. The house is in a lovely setting with a clear steam and pond. We enjoyed making a fire in the firepit beside the pond. The beds were super comfortable and we liked having 3 king beds for 3 couples plus the other room for children. The location was great for going to Blowing Rock and the Parkway. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay!

Memories Made

We had a wonderful stay at the property! There was plenty of room for our family. The beds were very comfortable and the dining spaces were huge! We had fun watching the tadpoles in the pond and listening to the bullfrogs from the porch at night. It was a very convenient location, close to Blowing Rock and Boone. Scott, the host, was readily available when I had questions. It was the perfect space for our big family to make some wonderful memories!

Perfect Mountain Get Away...

This house was perfect, and even prettier in person. My parents in their 60's complimented the details and comfortable bedding, My spouse and I loved how spread out the space was, My teenager loved the downstairs retreat, my 10 year old loved ping pong and eating outside on the large covered porch, and our dog loved the pond and creek on the property. This house was the perfect cozy mountain get away, complete with a warm fireplace and light dusting of snow during our stay. Scott was a very communicable host, and we hope to stay again sometime!

New Year's Stay

We went with another family to enjoy New Year's in the Blowing Rock area. The check in process was fantastic and the property owner was amazing. Scott (the property owner) was supper attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was a perfect fit for our group of 8. We enjoyed New Year's Eve at the house and had a fantastic night of dinner and games. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with supplies. On New Year's day we had a fun time tubing at Hawksnest! We hope to visit this home again in the future!

Nice and Quiet Gateway

I spent a couple of days during Christmas vacation here. It's a beautiful house with character. Scott the owner of the house was quite responsive. Only concern was that the room on the basement was a bit colder on the first night. There is a radiator in there but it has to run for a long time before the room starts getting warmer. Overall we had a great time. There are lots of board games and even a ping pong table for a bit of indoor fun.

Hiking Trip

We loved the location. It was close to Blowing Rock but remote and quiet. There was plenty of parking. We loved the living room area and the way the open floor layout allowed everyone to be together whether they were in the kitchen dining or living room areas. The gas fireplace was a big hit.

Great place to stay. So close to everything you want or need, yet secluded and peaceful. Host could not have been better, very communicative and quick to respond.

Great space for families

All three king-size beds were amazing. It’s hard to find rentals with great mattresses. We cooked dinner in every night and we had plenty of dishes, pots and pans to cook. The Washer, dryer and refrigerator are all brand new. The front yard was perfect for the kids to play. The location was also amazing. A mile from beautiful hikes and easy access to restaurants and grocery shopping. We would stay here again. The owner was a great communicator and check in was smooth

About the host

Hosted by Scott Burns

Host profile image
I grew up 35 miles from Blowing Rock and having
A home here has always been a dream of mine.

Why they chose this property

I’ve always loved the mountains and I grew up hiking the Appalachian Trail on weekends. When I was younger I’d hike or ride my bike up the Blue Ridge Parkway across Grandfather Mountain to watch the Linn Cove Viaduct construction. One of the most beautiful places in the Mountains is Price Lake. When I was growing up, walking down Holloway Mountain Road was so different. There was a large Trading Post sitting where you now enter Boone Fort Camp and across the road was
An old apple orchard.
No matter where we searched for our home in the mountains, Holloway Mountain Rd was always where we wanted to be, easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway for biking, a couple minutes
Over to Julian Price Park on summer nights to the Amphitheater to listen to local Blue Grass musicians. Main Street in Blowing Rock is about 10 miles away and so is Boone.

What makes this property unique

Our home offers a large open great room with a big modern kitchen with dining space for your entire family. We constantly search for the best
And most comfortable linens and towels to help
You sleep in luxury and wake up mountain fresh!
There is a cool stream in the back that fills a large
Pond. The one acre site is flat and easy to access with lots of room to park.
