Stella Maris is the premier choice for an elegant family home in the heart of downtown Blowing Rock, just a block's easy walk from the town's best shopping and dining! Originally built in the 1920s, this Craftsman bungalow has been lovingly updated to offer all the best modern conveniences and luxuries.

The main level offers a flowing floor plan. There are two sitting areas; the space to your right as you walk in has a lovely gas fireplace. A few steps further is the updated kitchen offering granite counters, stainless appliances, a stainless steel apron sink, and custom cabinets. There are two dining tables, one for 6 people and one for 4, plus 4 stools at the bar.

Two King suites are on the main level, each with a beautifully updated private bathroom with a tiled shower. There's also a half bath and laundry center off the kitchen. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a Queen bed and one with two Twin beds. These two rooms share a full bath with tub/shower and double vanities. Upstairs you'll also find a small space with a desk, perfect for those who need to squeeze in a quick email or Zoom call while on vacation.

Downstairs, through a hidden door tucked away by the fireplace, is the den recreation room. This space has a vintage style microfridge and kitchenette, and is a great space to relax. Outside you'll find a lovely graveled firepit area, along with a fully fenced in yard space.

Even with bustling downtown Blowing Rock just a few hundred feet away, Stella Maris is a carefully curated peaceful haven and an inviting escape from your day to day life!

Additional notes:
- This property is pet friendly for mature, well-trained dogs only with a pet fee of $25/nt per pet. No cats.
- This property is strictly for use as a vacation rental. Events and gatherings of any kind are strictly prohibited and violators will be evicted without refund.
- Parking space for max of 3 vehicles in the gravel parking area only! The paved parking area directly in front of the home does not belong to Stella Maris.
- The access road to this home is right beside Blowing Rock School, so during pickup or dropoff times, access to the home may take a few moments longer than usual.
- Due to the location, outdoor quiet times and noise levels are strictly enforced. There are restaurants and shops neighboring this lot so guests may hear this and normal town traffic noises.
- All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals. There is also a starter set of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, a couple garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths.

    Clean, comfortable home that is located right in the middle of Blowing Rock. Can easily walk to Main Street. Home has several areas where family/friends can gather yet have enough room to spread out. Make sure to follow driving directions given by management company as the front of the home and its driveway is accessible from the adjacent street and not the home address. Would definitely stay again!

    Lovely renovated home with lots of space. Clean. The steps leading up to the house were hard for elderly ladies to mange with their luggage the Slate at the bottom of the steps need to be worked on. Very slippery when wet. The light at the steps was not working. Very dark and hard to see your way up after dark.

    We already love Blowing Rock, and have visited every summer/fall for nearly 10 years. But the Stella Maris location was so convenient. Our adult children loved being able to walk to the downtown area for snacks and drinks. The house was quiet and clean, with enough room for everyone to have privacy. Property managers communicated promptly when we had questions. We had asked about whether or not the house had a keurig machine and had to laugh when we showed up and there were 4 coffee makers, including a keurig. The only issue we had was that the internet was not great. We ended up using our phones as hot-spots, so it was easily resolved for us. Our kids have already asked us to book the same house for next year.

    This was our first couple's trip with our newborns (3 months & 5 months) and this location could not have been more perfect for walking into town for shopping and eating. We also brought our dog and the fenced in backyard is huge and a great area to let dog play. We were already looking up re-renting this place while still staying. Fingers crossed this house is available for our next stay in the mountains!

    My girlfriends and I get together annually to celebrate Christmas together with our kids. We are App grads, so we decided to head up to Blowing Rock/Boone this year. This house was PERFECT! The layout is super spacious and all updated. All of the amenities were provided, and the location is second to none! We didn’t have to get in our cars ONE time all weekend because it’s within walking distance to everything! The property managers were very communicative (we had a minor issue with trash and they responded within an hour!)…. There are somewhat lengthy, rock stairs leading up to the house, so if mobility is an issue this may be a concern; overall I would highly recommend this house and will stay here again!
