Parkway Retreat - Near downtown Blowing Rock!

This cozy three-bedroom, three-bath home is aptly named, for it truly is a retreat. Conveniently located just off the famous Blue Ridge Parkway and only minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, you don't need to choose between a day of shopping downtown and a scenic hike.

When you enter the front door, you walk into a large open-plan living room and kitchen with cathedral ceilings and tons of natural light. The recently renovated kitchen offers granite countertops, an island with seating and new stainless steel appliances. Just steps from the kitchen is a large deck with a propane grill, and outdoor seating to enjoy those long summer nights.

On the main floor down the hallway, you'll find two bedrooms, a queen bedroom with ensuite bathroom. You'll also find a bedroom with two twin beds and jack and jill bathroom.

Upstairs, you'll find a cozy reading nook that overlooks the living room. You'll also find the large King master bedroom and attached ensuite. With a double vanity and stone tiled shower, it feels like a true oasis.

The lower level of the home contains a large game room, with two bunk beds for all your guests. With a card table, TV, and ping pong table just steps away in the garage, it's the perfect hideout for all the kids in your group.

The true adventure begins in the large backyard at Parkway Retreat. With a small bubbling creek alongside the stone firepit, you'll find yourself drawn to the beauty of the Blue Ridge nature abound. With a large treehouse, there is no shortage of fun to be had!

Stay Cancelled due to Hurricane, but great communication
Our trip to the rental was unfortunately cancelled due to Hurricane Helene, but I felt it was important to share our experience with the rental company. We were supposed to arrive on 9/27. From the very beginning, they were in constant communication with us, providing updates and reassurances about our stay. While we were more concerned for those truly affected by the storm, rather than our fun vacation, the rental team did everything possible to keep us informed about the situation. As the reality of the damage in Western North Carolina became clearer, it was evident that cancelling the rental was the only choice. We greatly appreciated the professionalism and care shown by the rental company throughout this challenging time. Their commitment to communication helped ease our worries, and we hope to book with them in the future when conditions are safe. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Fantastic Lication
This property was in a great location midway between Blowing Rock & Boone. We enjoyed local activities. The children enjoyed the backyard tree house, but honestly I did not feel comfortable going down the steep, minimalistic staircase to the backyard. Although this is a dog-friendly property there is very little usable yard other than the hard to access backyard. It made having a dog there very difficult. The kitchen was very well equipped. Bedrooms were great.

Peaceful stay
Great location and property. The grounds are amazing and the house offers all that you need and more. Only one suggestion. The steps to the back yard from the driveway need to be filled in and not have deep pocket throughout walkway. Also the back steps out of the basement have algae build up and could use a good cleaning. We had two people slip and one fell. We are all ok and did not take away from our stay. A suggestion that may keep someone else safe in the future. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place.
