Reviews
Mary Jo
Great visit with nine family members and getting to be with our grandson who is attending Appalachian University. Location was good for food shopping and spending time in Blowing Rock. We even managed to get in some hiking. The house was perfect for all of us, with privacy, comfortably beds and adequate bathrooms. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Wonderful memories to cherish until we all meet up again. Also, management was great to work with, thank you, Micki and a thank you to the owners for opening their lovely home for our Easter holiday.
