Welcome to Appalachian Escape!
Appalachian Escape is a fun, family-friendly mountain cottage on a nicely landscaped, virtually private property surrounded by mature woods. There is a wonderful outdoor wood-burning fireplace and stone courtyard to enjoy. The open-air deck is partly covered and wraps around the side of the house. The rear deck has a gas grill, outdoor dining space, and a screened porch. There are two Juliette decks upstairs that offer additional outdoor areas.
The main floor offers an open-concept living room, dining area, kitchen, hardwood floors, and tongue and groove ceilings with exposed beams. The kitchen features granite countertops with an oversized farm-style sink and stainless appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area with a banquet-style table that seats 8 guests. There is also a 4-seat table for additional accommodations. The living room has a gas log fireplace, a Samsung SmartTV, a BluRay DVD player, and high-speed satellite internet, allowing WIFI throughout the home and giving you the option to log into your streaming accounts. This home also has DirectTV.
The main floor primary suite offers a king bed, hardwood floors, his and her closets, a comfy chaise lounge, an HDTV, and a huge picture window that lets in lots of natural sunlight. The ensuite bathroom boasts an oversized tile shower and double vanity. The second bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed, an HDTV, and private access to the rear deck. Next to the queen bedroom is a full bathroom with a tub and shower. This bathroom is also central and convenient to the rest of the main floor.
At the top of the stairs is a game room/loft with a seven-foot custom-made pool table and a large-screen HDTV. An open-air Juliette deck off the loft overlooks the backyard. There is a full bathroom with a tiled shower upstairs. One of the two bedrooms upstairs offers 2 full beds, each with a twin trundle for additional sleeping options. This bedroom has a television and a large covered Juliette deck overlooking the front yard. The other upstairs bedroom has 4 twin beds with a queen-sized sleeper sofa, all in front of a large HDTV, BluRay/DVD, and Nintendo Wii.
Appalachian Escape is tucked into a quiet copse of mature woods, mere minutes from downtown Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tweetsie Railroad, Appalachian Ski Mountain, and Boone. Also conveniently nearby are Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Hawksnest, Grandfather Mountain, Ski Beech, and much more!
I put my friends up in this house which was walking distance to the house we had our wedding
Pros - good location, Easy to get to Boone and Blowing Rock from house Cons - mattresses were dirty and internet speeds are not sufficient
We had a great stay at this beautiful home. The house is perfect, and the location was great. Close to town and close to the ski resorts.
The group enjoyed ours staying there, though it was a rainy weekend. The cabin was nice and clean inside as well. We were a little nervous about the road, but it was okay since there was no snow. The two problems we had was the wifi, a bit unstable even after we reset it. Also, the room upstairs with a double bed was cold, and you could feel the wind blowing thru the window; we had to move on the second night. Overall, everything is good, fast response, and good management.
The location of the home is ideal, and it’s just a short walk from the home to an amazing mountain view. Despite some hiccups with the wifi, the property manager went above and beyond to resolve our issues, and we were especially grateful knowing that our stay was during the holidays.
Enjoyable
The cabin was beautiful inside and out but there was no trash bags and one bathroom did not have hand soap. Also the grill propane tank was stuck on close so we were not able to grill some burgers like planned. Other than these minor things we had a great stay! The customer service was great! We arrived about 6pm and had issues opening the door but the rental company answered and helped us immediately.
Was a beautifully decorated place with lots of charm.
The house was a great fit for what we needed. There were 12 adult guys and we each had our own bed. The house has internet as well as direct TV and is was close to all that we needed. The house could use some updating and maybe a little more detailed cleaning but for us it was a great fit for a short stay.
The stay was fine but these 3 issues made our stay not so good :- 1. Cleanliness was not up to the mark 2. There was no way to communicate with the property owner even when we had an issue with car getting stuck on slope to the house
