quaint cottage w/hotub & firepit-2 min -downtown Blowing Rock-pet friendly

Great Mountain Experience Grapevine Cottage is a genuine mountain cottage, not a spec builder's 2020 reproduction. It is cozy and well furnished. The owner has done an incredible job of adding modern conveniences such as Jacuzzi bathtub, outdoor hot tub, dishwasher, microwave, etc. without detracting from the cozy cottage ambience. The weather was terrible, so we spent a lot of time in front of the fireplace watching TV, playing board games, or reading. It was very relaxing and peaceful. There were starter supplies for toiletries, dishwasher soap and other necessities. I had a question for the owner, and she responded immediately and was extremely accommodating regarding my request. Grapevine Cottage was the perfect little cabin for our getaway.

Halloween Weekend Our 2nd time staying at this property and loved it even more. Such a cozy & convenient house. Look forward to staying again soon!

Better than most We have stayed at a number of places around the Blowing Rock area over the past 10 years, and all of them have plusses and minuses. When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned. However, upon contacting the agent/owner, a cleaning team was sent within 30 minutes, and they thoroughly cleaned the house. The WiFi cut off promptly at 10PM every night. The TV ran off the WiFi, so there was no TV between 10PM and 8AM every day, and there was no reliable cell service without it. We were told that the cable company was doing work on the system, and that this was a temporary situation. Speaking of TV, it is connected to ROKU, which has a large selection of FOX stations and not much else. You can get a decent selection of movies, but they all come with loads of commercials. Bring some DVDs with you if you plan to watch any TV. On the positive side, the house is well maintained, the kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils, pots and pans, glasses and china. There was a nice selection of spices and herbs. All the major appliances were clean and in good condition, which is not always the case in rentals. The master bathroom was excellent, with two sinks and a jacuzzi. The hot tub is great, and even though there is a house right next door, the tub is located on a deck behind the house, that is reasonably secluded. The neighborhood is quiet, surrounded by woods, and yet it is only a few minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, and the Parkway.

Two week getaway We enjoyed our visit. The place was clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Hope to return again soon.
