LOCATION: Situated on a peaceful wooded private upscale residential mountain area directly off Blue Ridge Parkway and located 6 miles between Blowing Rock and Boone and all the High-Country amenities (skiing, hiking, fly fishing, Arts and shows at Appalachian State.). Although Mountain 2 Sea provides a family-friendly Mountain Get-away it is 1 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway and perfectly situated between Boone and Blowing Rock. and other attractions (Tweetsie Railroad 4.5 miles), Blowing Rock Town center (5.5 miles), Appalachian Ski Mtn (6 miles), Boone (7 miles), Grandfather Mtn (20 miles), Hawksnest (21 miles), Sugar Ski Mtn (23 miles), Beach Ski Mtn (30 miles).

My favorite rooms: are the Wood Beamed Loft with Wide Board Pine Planked Flooring and a bookcase full of books for your reading pleasure. It's a great place to escape the crowd and curl on the sofa with a great book! Finally, sitting on the front porch swing surrounded by native rhododendrons.

I know many of my guests love the multiple public, but private spaces this house includes due to 4 public rooms (versus the norm of 1 great room) and multiple-level decks and porches. There are many spots to find a private moment or change your view. My view is always the wooded wonderland.

Brenda was very communicative and helpful as we prepared for our trip and once we were there. There was snow and she made sure the driveway was clear for our arrival! The house was clean and warm with plenty of room for two families to spread out. The back yard area was great with the hot tub and fire pit and overall we had a great visit and would definitely stay there again!

The house was totally clean, well equipped, and in a great location, convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock, and all the attractions. The house is laid out in a way that is conducive to family relaxation and conversation. The huge kitchen is in a large room with sofas and a TV, so we could watch the games, talk and munch all together at the same time. For those who wanted it a little quieter, the living room is just steps away, also with comfortable sofas and a conversation area. The loft upstairs is perfect for reading with the grandkids. We had a severe winter storm with high winds one night and the house was as solid as a rock; we have rented some mountain houses that creaked and groaned during storms. Not this one. Also, the furniture and beds were comfortable and the kitchen appliances were restaurant grade. Everyone wanted to cook. We have already booked for next year.

This is my family’s second time staying at this property. It’s been perfect for our group of 6 adults and 4 young children. We enjoy having the multiple living spaces and plenty of room for dining, plus a large kitchen. The Host is very attentive and kind. I’d recommend this property to anyone.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
First of all the communication from Brenda was fantastic. It was timely ( within an hour), detailed and always helpful. The place is so perfect for a large family with kids and grandkids. The professional kitchen and spaces for gathering were spacious and perfect. The ping pong down stairs was a huge hit with all. The bedrooms were very nice and outdoor spaces were incredible. Amazing views from the massive wrap around deck. The play area for the kids and dog were were great. Not able to emphasis how perfect Brenda and Ron’s place was for creating the environment for an unforgettable stay. What a memorable Thanksgiving week for our family. Looking forward to coming back.
