Blowing Rock, North Carolina
BEAUTIFUL HOME IN THE LUXURIOUS GATED SWEETGRASS COMMUNITY!
LAKEFRONT LIVING AT ITS FINEST!!
An easy 15 minute drive to Blowing Rock, Lakeshore Retreat is a gorgeous home just a few yards from the lake in the beautiful gated community of Sweetgrass. With paved, flat parking, there is easy access to this four bedroom, three and a half bath home.
From the first step inside, you will fall in love with the view of the lake, lapping just a few yards away from the front deck. A large picture window means you can enjoy both the remote controlled gas-log fireplace, TV, and the ever-changing lake view with Grandfather Mountain behind it. Exposed distressed beams overhead evoke the mountain lodge style. The dining area easily seats 6, with room for several more at the island. In the kitchen, there is a coppered farmhouse style apron sink, live edge dark leathered granite, all stainless appliances including a gas range, a Keurig, and a standard coffee maker. Off of the kitchen is the laundry room with a sink for ease of cleaning up.
The Master King bedroom is off of the living room. It features deck access, the lake view, a Roku TV, and a private bath. In the ensuite bath, there is a custom tiled shower, a large soaking tub, and double vanities. The leathered granite at the vanities matches the counters in the kitchen. There is also a half bath off the entry hallway.
Upstairs is a second living area, great for families to unwind together. A large sectional invites you to sit and chat or watch a movie. A selection of board games are there for bonding on a quiet afternoon. Three bedrooms are upstairs. There is a second master with a California King bed, the lake view, a TV, and its own custom tiled bath. Two twin beds are in the third bedroom, which could also be put together for a king sized sleeping area. The fourth bedroom has a Queen bed along with a low profile twin over twin bunk bed. Between these two bedrooms is a third full bathroom.
Outside, you'll have plenty to do and see. The deck has plenty of seating for dining al fresco, a woodburning fireplace, and a new grill. The deck leads down to the lawn on the shores of the lake. There is a walking trail that circles the lake, as well as other trails within Sweetgrass. Hike to the other side of the lake and gaze upon Lakeshore Retreat from across the water while you enjoy a picnic at the gazebo on the dam.

The property was clean, had everything we needed and a beautiful lake view. We even got snow!
An amazing house with very nice amenities. Lake view was very relaxing and enjoyable, especially with the outdoor fire place. The mountains were beautiful and the ride to Blowing Rock was easy 5 minute ride. The scenery on the 20 minute ride to Boone was absolutely spectacular!
Amazing time in Blowing Rock/Boone with family. The property was exactly what we were looking for...spacious, well-equipped, great location, quiet surroundings and beautiful views. We look forward to visiting again in the near future.
My family loved our stay in the NC mountains at this cabin. The place was stocked with everything we needed and is in a great location for family activities. We also enjoyed catching trout in the lake and would definitely go back!
We were blown away by the quality of the house and how it was also in a great location with trails and a creek.
The home was very nice - very clean and the perfect set up and number of rooms for us and our grown children. Beautiful neighborhood with great walking trails and the lake. It is in a good location close to Blowing Rock and the Parkway. We enjoyed our time there and hope to return again soon.
We had a great stay! The view of the lake was amazing from most of the house, and the floorplan worked great for our family. We liked having the big dining table, multiple living areas, outdoor fireplace, and easy access to the outdoor area and lake. The house was stocked with most kitchen ingredients, dishware, appliances, etc, as well as having tons of books, puzzles and games on both levels. There were lots of baby/younger kid supplies such as a high chair, pack and play, and plastic tableware. Everything felt brand new, which is extra nice for a rental property! There were lots of nice walking trails around the neighborhood, but we weren't sure what other amenities, such as kayaks, were included for renters (though it ended up being cooler weather anyway). One slight oddity we encountered was in the downstairs master bath, it would be helpful to have a blind or privacy screen on one of the windows as the view goes right to the toilet via the mirror! We also had a power outage due to wind gusts; it took a few calls and messages to be able to speak with someone on a Saturday afternoon, but they did call us back each time and it got fixed within a few hours. We had a great stay overall and would definitely stay here again!
Really nice house in great location with great view, deck, outdoor fireplace Very cool

We recently stayed at Lakeshore Retreat for a girl’s weekend and loved it. The house is beautiful as was the view of the lake and fall foliage. It had everything we needed to relax, and the outdoor fireplace was an extra treat.
