Cottage Near Downtown Blowing Rock

Welcome to Cottage Fever!

Cottage Fever is a charming, unique vacation rental approximately a mile from downtown Blowing Rock and its restaurants, shopping, the park, and much more.

With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, an open great room and kitchen, a cozy, lower-level den with extra sleeping, and loads of outdoor living space, Cottage Fever is an ideal place to bring your family for a mountain getaway. Level parking and level entry also make this a good option for those with mobility issues. The large back yard, two levels of decks, a hot tub, and a covered front porch provide ample, enjoyable outdoor space in addition to the wonderfully renovated interior.

The main level features an open great room with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows allowing in lots of light, comfortable leather furniture, a gas log fireplace, and an HD Smart TV. The great room has sliding glass doors to the rear deck, with outdoor furniture and a gas grill, wooded/seasonal views, and a view of the big backyard. The great room is open to the kitchen, which features granite counters, brushed nickel appliances, a live edge wooden bar with two bar stool seats, and is well-stocked for preparing and serving meals. The dining room is off the kitchen, surrounded by windows, and features a dining table that can seat 5 or 6 guests. Along with the two barstool seats at the kitchen bar top, you can seat 7 to 8 guests. Also on the main level is a queen bedroom with an HD Smart TV. Adjacent to the bedroom is a full bathroom with an oversized tiled shower and a long vanity with two under-mount sinks.

The lower level has two more bedrooms and another central full bathroom, as well as a cozy den which can serve as another living space with a comfortable sofa and large HD Smart TV. It can serve as a fourth sleeping area with its full sleeper sofa. One of the lower level bedrooms has a king bed and an HD Smart TV. The other lower level bedroom has two twin beds, an HD Smart TV, as well as a door that leads out into a fun sunroom that subsequently leads out onto the lower rear deck with a hot tub.

Very nice rental
Enjoyed our stay. Cabin was very nice, clean, and comfortable. As others have mentioned, it is a short drive to the main shopping area in town and very close to Boone. Would definitely stay again.

Great time, lovely cottage!
Our family loved staying at this cottage in Blowing Rock. Clean, nicely decorated, with a great space to spread out or gather together. The hot tub was wonderful, clean and easy to use. Was a little too chilly and windy this time to use the fire pit area, so that just means we will need to go back soon! Jo

Great graduation house for friends and family
We came for our daughter’s APP grad… total of 5 stayed with plenty of room for more. Great location, near all the best of blowing rock. The hot tub and deck were a nice bonus. Kitchen was missing a few minor things (measuring cup, cutting board, etc) but overall well stocked. Some bedroom doors did not close fully or lock. One major concern was the drop off at the top of the (steep downward) stairs. There is a space bw the banister and the top of the steps that could be dangerous. Otherwise it was great home!! Plenty of parking. Expertly decorated. Great value for price.

Enjoyable Stay
The property was clean and well maintained. BUT, it is NOT within walking distance to downtown Blowing Rock for older adults. We had to drive to Main Street downtown. None the less, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and check-in was easy! The house was very clean and well maintained. We loved the back decks! We hope to rent this property again!

Great fall getaway
Loved the decor , layout and amenities. Easy parking and road access. Close to town. Great yard with wonderful hot tub and fire pit! Would recommend sink sprayer get fixed, vent at stove work better ( got Smokey each night cooking) lower the microwave a bit upstairs bed is a bit firm ( maybe a foam topper?) and tp/pt are pretty cheap quality. Overall really spectacular and comfortable and upgraded so well! Friends and I would very much enjoy coming back again.

Beautiful place and close to everything
This home is nestled up on a small ridge and is very tastefully decorated with modern accents and accessories. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood is older but very well maintained. Very quiet street out front. The hot tub was ready for us and the burn pit area was a lovely touch for more outdoor fun. My in laws and adult children will definitely be back again next year. This place was perfect, just needed more towels. They provide towels of very nice quality, but women tend to use two towels and one towel per person was not enough and I use a clean wash cloth every time I shower, so extra wash cloths would be better. I did have to wash towels every single day. If you are staying one night that’s plenty, but if you stay more than one night bring extra towels. Again, we will be back, the towels is small potatoes and didn’t affect our opinion of this lovely place or it’s courteous management.

We stayed in blowing rock, this cabin is a small home that was renovated, and they did a beautiful job. It was very cozy, very beautiful and comfortable. Super close to the town of blowing rock with all the restaurants and the local Food Lion. Only a 5 to 7 minute drive from Appalachian ski Mountain. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the house. It was in a good location and nicely decorated. As mentioned before, the stairs leading to the bottom floor inside the house were very steep. The shower in both bathrooms were very slow to drain and the dishwasher should probably be repaired.

The house is updated and very clean with the exception of the inside of some of the kitchen cabinets, and the carpet going downstairs could use replacing. Nice to have TV's in all the bedrooms. Location was convenient to town, but the street noise from the main thoroughfare is constant and that is also the view from the back deck. All in all, if you are planning to use the house as a hub to sleep and will be out during the day, staying here will suit your needs.

Cottage Fever
The house itself is nicely decorated, was clean and close to town. The stairs in the middle of the living room are very steep and our kids had quite a few close calls. Someone had painted the ante room to the downstairs bedroom, right before we got there and the paint smell was quite strong. I’m asthmatic and could not sleep downstairs. My elderly parents could not go downstairs when they came to visit. We ended up leaving early due to my asthma.
