3BR / 2 BA Cottage: Blue Mountain Retreat

The residence features an indoor fireplace, rustic wood surfaces, mid-century touches, and a layout allowing for privacy between the upstairs and downstairs sleeping areas with queen beds in each of the three bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances downstairs; flat screen TV upstairs in living room. Relax at the fire pit while roasting marshmallows after a day on the slopes of Appalachian Ski Mountain. Sip coffee on the porch listening to the sounds of the property’s babbling brook.

Awesome Mountain Stay

The property was as perfect place for our quick trip to the mountains. Near Blowing Rock and App Ski Mountain. The house was clean and easy to access. We liked using the outdoor fire pit on the cold evening. We loved the house and will be back in the future.

Tucked away but still convenient to everything

This "Retreat" is well-named; private but a short drive from it all. Comfortable beds; very clean; excellent communications with owner. The canopy of trees over the front yard was the perfect place for morning coffee.

Perfect location for activities and relaxation

I really enjoyed my stay. We were in town for a little league baseball tournament. This gave my family of five room to stretch out. The location was perfect, close to town and many other activities, but still tucked away with a feel of the mountains. After each game, the house was a great place to relax!
