Sky Laurel Cottage - 3 bed 2 bath home, 1 mile Walk to Blowing Rock, pet friendly

Our stay at Sky Laurel Cottage was just okay. The location was close to Blowing Rock, the cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable and the fireplace was nice. The kitchen was very small, but the previous reviews prepared us for that. The oven was described as fabulous Hotpoint oven with the charm and reliability. The oven didn't work at all so we couldn't cook any of the food we bought for the weekend. I called the service number with Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals and never heard back from anyone. The couch in the living room felt broken and was very uncomfortable to sit on. The Kuerig has seen much better days and it was impossible to get a full cup of coffee without running it three times. The description lists a view overlooking scenic Blowing Rock. The cabin actually overlooks Outback and a very busy, noisy highway. The bathroom on the first level was so small and it was very hard to shower. The towels provided for our stay were so thin and old. A curtain on the front door would also be a nice addition. You can see all the way from the road into the main bedroom. I'm not someone to blindside an owner with a bad review without discussing it first, so I called Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals to speak with someone about our experience before leaving this review. I was told to just leave feedback online.

Sky Laurel Cottage is very roomy, comfortable and clean, and communication with host was very easy, professional, and response was quick! This is our second stay here and we will definitely rent again when going to Blowing Rock!

Everything was great. From booking to departure.

The cabin was spotless. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved the Sky Laurel Cottage! It is very cute and comfortable and has a great layout for a family with teens so everyone can have their own space. It’s centrally located in Blowing Rock but on a quiet road. The kitchen is tiny, as others mention, so not where you’d stay in you want to do much cooking. We would definitely stay here again.

While the property description was reasonably accurate, the configuration was very odd. The downstairs BRs were dungeonlike and damp. The kitchen was jammed into a space so small that it was impossible to fully open the refrigerator. Parking was difficult because the slope put the car at an angle.

Great location. Was great with 3 bedrooms. Pictures were a bit outdated but still a wonderful place in Blowing Rock.

Small and quaint with little nooks and hideaways. Close to Blowing Rock - 5 minute drive. We went to Winterfest and it was perfect for a short trip.

Love it. Just what we needed for a quick weekend.

The cottage was nice. I loved the bottom rooms with each having their own bathroom and a shared shower. Beds were very comfortable. I would suggest putting fireplace instructions in the notebook, steps for the high beds as short and elderly have a hard time getting in and out, an additional step coming out of the house as it’s a BIG step down. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at Sky Laurel for the App State vs JMU game. The cottage was super clean and comfy. It was easy to get to which was nice because of the icy conditions. It’s also very close to downtown Blowing Rock and a short drive or Uber to Boone. We would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed location of house. Very convenient to restaurants and downtown Blowing Rock.

We had and awesome time with our family at the cottage. We loved sitting on the porch and visiting, and going to nearby places of interest. The musty smell was a little overwhelming so we slept with the windows opened. The kitchen was smaller than expected so only one person could prep meals and cook. Overall, it was a very nice cozy comfortable place to stay.
