Good Location for Downtown Blowing Rock
Good location and quiet peaceful condo, just the right amount of space for my mother and me. We had a couple of issues/questions on the first day, and the property management company was very responsive.

MisinformationDirections were wrong. No lock box. Rental agent two phone numbers disconnected.
The condo was not brand new and needed painting. The AC unit was like a motel so that the two bedrooms were never cool. Of course photos can be deceiving.
The directions were wrong. There was not a lock box. Two of the office phone numbers given were disconnected. The emergency number was to someone not of the rental company. Blinds had to closed if one wanted privacy. The grounds were not attractive as at other similar places in Blowing Rock.
Therefore, will not use VRBo again
