Holiday rentals with a kayak in Blowing Rock

Mosta amazing view. But must definitely if going in the winter a 4×4 car is a most

All around an amazing place, great to unwind and just relax near the water, but not too far from town to go do something with the family. Hands down one of the best places I’ve been and will definitely be returning! Btw check out Appalachian Caverns, really an amazing place.

Katie and Paula were so sweet and easy to communicate with. The house had everything we needed and more. They even brought us fresh baked cookies from a local bakery. We will be staying here again next time we are in North Carolina.

Great place to take time off and unwind! Beautiful nature and not super far from Penland’s campus - about 20 minutes. Thanks so much!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Skipping Stones Getaway with our family of five. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat—surrounded by beautiful views and the kind of quiet that instantly helps you unwind. Christie and Donaven have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). From extra phone charging cables to those little items you might forget to pack, it was clear they’ve put a lot of care and attention into making guests feel at home. We spent our days out on the lake kayaking, soaking up the calm and beauty of the surroundings, and our evenings enjoying quality time together around the fire. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Skipping Stones Getaway is the kind of place you want to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories in a truly lovely setting.

Wonderful stay. Would definitely stay here again. Very helpful and receptive host. Super close to the bottom of lift #1 (but smaller kids will need a little help navigating the landscaping stairs down and back from the house). Enjoyed the fireplace and the peaceful views.

I planned a few days at Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding area. Chris’ location was perfect, just a few minutes away. It was clean and comfortable and it was exactly as described. It was very well stocked and had lots of little extras, including area information and even having the light/fan switches labeled for convenience. I definitely recommend his house and plan to use it again when I’m in the area.

Dan was a great host and got back to any questions I had in a timely manner. Home was clean and inviting.

this was a fantastic trip, I loved every second of it! the hot tub was a wonderful addition, and we definitely made use of the pool table. very kind hosts, and a lovely location! we went down to a nearby state park to go swimming in a lake. I highly recommend visiting this cabin! a very fun getaway.

This home is 100% Virgo approved!! It was immaculate and decorated beautifully, very comfy, too! There were gorgeous views from almost every room. Well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Within a short distance to West Jefferson and Boone, where we had some wonderful meals. This home is a gem!!

Eagles peak was a comfortable place to stay near the Sugar Hollow wedding that we came to attend. The living room was great, kitchen was full of pans, etc with coffee maker, ice maker, lots of storage. We appreciated the basket of cooking spices. Several of our party enjoyed the hot tub and the extensive deck was great! Lots of places to sit - sun, shade, rocking chair, picnic table. We saw a doe and baby deer from the deck, lots of birds on the wire and flitting around the bushes. A couple people went to the nearby winery and mercantile, they were able to pick up a few necessities there without driving far. We had dinner in Boone one evening, not too far, (the other dinners were at the wedding venue). Julie was quick to respond to questions and had excellent suggestions of places to visit and eat. It was a wonderful family gathering.

Amazing Stay! Perfect Cabin for Our Family Our stay at this cabin was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The cabin was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into making sure guests are taken care of. The host was incredibly helpful. I had a few questions during our stay, and each time I called, the host was quick to respond and provided clear, friendly assistance. It's rare to find such excellent customer service! The location was peaceful and safe, providing the ideal environment for relaxation and family time. We loved the cozy atmosphere and all the amenities that made the cabin feel like a true home away from home. We highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had a lovely stay at Hawks Rest! We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing weekend to unplug, and it delivered! Very well appointed and cared for property. We would definitely recommend and hope to return!

The place’s awesome, comfortable beds with clean bathrooms and kitchen. The Jacuzzis’ fully functional and we’ve been using it daily. Just assure to close it after use so you enjoy its cleanliness the next time. Maybe a little deep in the forest but overall it’s a perfect spot to chill.

Chris's cabin and property are beautiful! We loved having the river right behind us to play in with our puppy. Everything with the cabin was great, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of wood for the firepit, charcoal for the grills, and an amazing view of the river and surroundings. Very private and very remote, I would strongly recommend having an SUV/all-wheel drive vehicle. We saw two black bears as we were driving back to the property which was fun to see (but glad they weren't any closer or on the property). Chris is very helpful with instructions for getting to the place, and was very responsive when we had questions. We definitely hope to go back and highly recommend this property!

The cabin was overwhelmingly charming and so private. The surroundings were gorgeous, and we absolutely loved the hot tub and fire pit/patio area. Grilled out both days. The steps down to the lake were quite a work out and not for the faint of heart, but the view once you got down there was absolutely breathtaking. I would definitely recommend and would love to return.
