Secluded Lenoir Cabin: 4 Mi to Dtwn Blowing Rock

Wonderful property with such a beautiful view! Loved the wrap around porch!

This mountainside cabin provided everything as described. It is a quaint secluded stay for just winding down. As others have mentioned, the drive in is a little intimidating the first time but as you learn to manage the switchbacks its not that bad. Several GPS maps indicate that if you are coming from Lenoir, you have to go to Blowing Rock and come back; this isn't the case - you can make a left turn off of 321. We "hiked" to Greene's Trading Post; even though its a short distance, it does get the cardio up. We went to Blowing Rock to walk around and eat lunch; we took our dog with us and found The Town Tavern's outside patio to be wonderful. We were only there two nights and chose to eat in both nights and just enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Our one afternoon had 3-4 hours of rain; probably around 3". But we just sat on the covered porch and enjoyed the rain (having been in a drought it was really nice); and the rain did not affect the road at all. Beth was easy to communicate with before, answering all my questions.

This was pretty much a perfect mountain cabin for me, my wife and our two dogs. We rented the cabin because we needed to get away from fireworks on July 4th. The views are beautiful. The deck is outstanding. It had been a long time since I was able to sit outside and not hear any human induced noise. The silence was beautiful. The fireflies and the stars were awesome at night.The kitchen is well stocked. We only used the king bed, and it was great. It was extraordinarily hot the weekend we were there. The air conditioning was perfect. The pictures and description on the ad are accurate. We found it even better than the ad. The host was very friendly, gave us lots of information, and was easy to connect with.The gravel road to the house is steep & winding. We have a 4-wheel-drive Hyundai Tucson and we had absolutely no problem navigating it. We could have navigated it with front wheel drive given the dry conditions. Our only "complaint" was not finding a trail to walk the dogs right by the houseThe house is 4 miles from Blowing Rock, but if you didn't know that, there is nothing that would suggest there is a tourist town nearby. Blowing Rock is a bit too busy for us. We drove 10 minutes down the hill towards Lenoir and found a wonderful Pizza/brew pub- the Happy Valley Filling Station that was not crowded on July 4th weekend. The food was excellent. Even better was that the lounge is dog friendly, so we could sit inside. With food coming from the restaurant next door.

The cabin was everything we had hoped. It was private and intimate. Clean and comfortable. Definitely glad we drove our truck! The location was close enough to the area we were interested in and a great place to relax!!

Yes, clean. Friendly, helpful host. Awesome location. On the side of a mountain and just a few miles from town. Even provided sheets for coverage for the dog. Enjoyed every day sitting on the deck.
