Great location, all the amenities needed for our 4 night stay, loved we had our own designated parking and I personally enjoyed the fireplace. Water pressure in the showers was lacking a bit, but not something that would prevent us from renting again.

Parking was horrific. There are no reserved spots for the verbo, if the two spots are taken , which was our case, you have to park way down the road at the school. Also very steep stairs to get to the unit which we did not know about and we are both 71 . Place was immaculate and the king bed was very comfortable!

This review is sadly too long incoming. We rented this condo during the hurricane last year. The hurricane hit on our second day there. The owner could not have been more gracious and kind. The condo was clean and everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Overall great stay, thin walls between units

The location of this property is unmatched. The check-in process was seamless & the unit was very clean and tidy. Only note of caution I would add for other guests is that the walls are pretty thin between this unit & the one downstairs.

Consistent Quality Experience

My family and I have stayed multiple times in the Bear and Bull units. Both are well kept and have the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The location of the units is unbeatable for convenience to anything in downtown Blowing Rock. It is very nice to be able to walk to restaurants and other attractions, as during busy times, parking can be difficult to obtain around town.

Clean and Convenient

Very close to all things in downtown Blowing Rock. 300 feet from Bald Guy Brewing for great coffee. Having dedicated parking was nice as well, we never had an issue finding a spot. Unit was spotless when we arrived. All appliances and HVAC worked with no issues. The beds are comfortable with plenty of blankets to stay warm.One item to be ready for if you have a fall or winter rental - the checkout instructions have the outgoing tenant drop the thermostat to 54*. So be ready for it to be chilly when you first arrive!

Karen is amazing!!

The property was walking distance to everything downtown. Quick drive to Appalachian Mountain for some snow boarding. Less than an hour drive to hikes with magnificent views of Linville Gorge, Tablerock Mtn, Hawksbill Mtn. The accomodations are top notch. Karen has created a book with all the reference material and menus you'll need. High quality furnishing and creativity abound. Don't miss the outdoor fireplace after walking back from dinner! This stay is simply a win!
