Blowing Rock is a unique small mountain village with many unique one of a kind shopping experiences and wonderful restaurants. We recommend going into the village or trying some of the local restaurants on the By Pass as well. Blowing Rock has beautiful hiking trails and nature at its finest. It is very mountainous and we recommend the views from the Via Duct on the Blue Ridge Parkway which is just out of town.
You will need a personal car for transportation most of the time although Uber has just come to town. We recommend four wheel drive vehicles in the winter months of January and February. The rest of the year the driveway is just fine and well maintained all year round.The village of Blowing Rock is a 5 minute drive to Main Street.
This home was built to take in all of the wonderful views of the mountains. It is the most comfortable home that I have ever lived in. You wake in the morning to the sounds of birds and nature and glorious sunrises! The view is to the south looking over the John River Gorge. The address is technically Lenoir NC but that is confusing. Lenoir is 20 miles away and this house sits high on the wooded Ridge line just 2.5 miles from the village of Blowing Rock. Yes, it only takes about 5 minutes to drive into the town! The area is Pisgah national Forest and is special in that this area will not be developed in the future due to the National Forest designation. In the winter the view is also very enchanting due to the fact that far, far in the distance you can see the East West corridor of I- 40. We call it the ribbon of lights that run just along the horizon line way out beyond the mountains. It highlights the beauty of the multi layered view of the mountains.
The cabin is on a gravel road and parking is beside the house. There is a turn around area available between the two cottages. We ask that you not use the turn around for parking as it is needed for turning around only.
