This lovely home is ten minutes away from downtown Blowing Rock and also near Grandfather mountain. It is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with a partial view of the mountains, large grassy lot, and plenty of room and spaces to hang out or be alone both inside and outside. We found the house to be quite clean. There were a few cobwebs here a there (such as on the chandelier and hard to reach places), but all of the furniture, hard surfaces/tables, bedrooms and baths were impeccably clean. The house was well appointed with all basic kitchen needs, plenty of towels, trash bags, pillows and even DVD's although we did not watch any TV. The internet password was located inside the house binder and was very fast, so much so that one of us was able to work remotely with ease.
The house was somewhat challenging to find as the house numbers are not in order and the house itself is shielded by trees from the road (and we arrived after dark, and the neighborhood is not well lit- which makes for a great nights' sleep). There is a wooden sign with the name "Mountain Hideaway" which we eventually found. By comparison, all switches and amenities are labeled in the house which helps you get oriented to where everything is. Everything was so easy.
The rental company contacted us frequently (by email and text) to make sure we had everything we needed and it was much appreciated.
The house was extremely comfortable and we would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a lovely stay!
