About this house rental
Welcome to your beautiful mountain home away from home: The Rocky Knob Retreat! Serenity and solitude with THE most spectacular, long-range mountain views you’ll find in the Blowing Rock area! This is the house to rent if you want private, unobstructed views of Grandfather, Sugar, & Beech Mountains as well as Table Rock. Don’t miss the stunning sunsets this beautiful, quiet, updated, perfectly located mountain home has to offer, found just 2.4 miles from The Blowing Rock!
Relax in front of the striking stone fireplace while taking in the breath-taking views from the large picture window, or step out onto any one of the three recently rebuilt outdoor decks for a moment of stillness - no traffic to be heard in this Blue Ridge vacation beauty! If you want privacy, there are TVs located in each room for your viewing pleasure.
With all the amenities of home, this lovely 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom (all brand NEW bathrooms), 2900 square foot home provides sleeping arrangements for 14 guests, just 4 miles from downtown Blowing Rock. This ideal location is easy to get to, right off Blowing Rock Boulevard, allowing quick access to numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, zip-lining, tubing, and skiing on mountains minutes away! There are several nearby beautiful hikes to enjoy or explore any of the numerous local restaurants or shopping venues right down the road! This property ensures a truly incredible, unmatched North Carolina mountaintop experience.
Dining al Fresco, especially at sunset, comes with a view to remember. Amenities such as a newly renovated kitchen, wireless internet connection, and a fully stocked kitchen and laundry room make you feel right at home during your stay.
On the main level, the beautiful stone fireplace anchors the 2 story great room which overlooks the gorgeous views and opens to the main deck. The large guest room on this floor offers beautiful mountain views with deck access. There is a full bathroom on this floor, which also houses the washer and dryer, available for guest use and an initial supply of laundry detergent.
The third level offers a master bedroom with a private deck with rockers for relaxing while taking in the stunning views. The adjoining bathroom includes both a jacuzzi tub and stand-up shower. A third bedroom is also found on this level with it’s own private bathroom. Finally, a cozy reading nook, complete with comfy seating and a selection of books, is perfectly located directly across the large window overlooking the picturesque view of Grandfather Mountain.
The lower level has a spacious den, with a pull out sofa bed, that opens up to a third deck for additional mountain views. A fourth bedroom offers the perfect place to pile in kids in the two triple bunk beds, allowing plenty of space for six guests to sleep soundly. Also on this floor is an entertainment area for those who are ready to put their ping pong skills to the test! Finally, a pack-n-play and booster seat are available for guests to use to lighten their load when packing for a trip with babies/toddlers.
Note: This cabin sleeps 7-8 adults & up to 6 kids comfortably. However, this cabin is NOT ideal for more than 8 adults. ***The driveway is gravel and slightly steep. We recommend a SUV or truck with 4WD ESPECIALLY during winter months with snow/ice! ***

Incredible view. Clean well appointed house. Nice beds and bathrooms. A great place to stay, very convenient to Blowing Rock and the parkway. Very responsive owner. We placed some hummingbird feeders out on the back porch and got lots of visitors!Minor issues: --SUV or similar is really beneficial getting in and out of driveway, 2 guests with small sedans had some struggles.--Some of the back porch furniture was falling apart.
