We stayed here for 5 nights right before Thanksgiving and all of us had a great time. House is very clean, good space, and very nice view. Having a balcony on two floors was a plus, and there was a good grill that came in handy. We also enjoyed the pool table upstairs. This place is about a 7 minute drive to downtown blowing rock, which is a very cool place. Also, many hiking trails in the vicinity, we tried and couple of them and had a great time. The only suggestion we have is to add blinds in the bedrooms, although the view is very beautiful to wake up to, some people would find it hard to sleep past sunrise with no blinds. All in all though it was great, would definitely recommend.
