Last minute reservation. Excellent communication. Host went out of their way to inform me that on one of the days I might experience delays getting to or from property due to other work being performed in neighborhood - did not impact us but communication was appreciated. House was clean and tight. Easy to get to location. Would stay here again.

Wonderful mountain getaway!

Stephanie is a great host! Very easy accesible and attentive! Their home is gorgeous and very thoughtfully decorated. They take a lot of pride and care in this space. It is close to town and you still feel miles away from civilization. The working fireplace and the gorgeous views were very memorable! We highly recommend their home/)

More than expected!!

The only reason I gave 5 stars is because that is the highest I could go :-). From beginning to end our experience was exceptional. The host was very engaging and answered any questions that I had. My brothers, both renovate homes, kept marveling at the craftsmanship of the house. A lot of attention to detail. We lacked nothing.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wonderful

We stayed at this amazing cottage for a long weekend (two parents, children ages 4 and 6). The location is great; very close to town, but tucked away in a private area. The property has been immaculately remodeled, and it was well appointed with everything we needed. Also, the owner, Stephanie, was super helpful and friendly, and she gave us some tips about the area when we texted her. We hope to come back!

Quaint, cosy, comfortable with all the modern amenities!

A perfect get-away just 5 minutes from Blowing Rock, this is a wonderful home. The owners have made special touches too the home including the kitchen, master bathroom and fun lower level den area. The location is also perfect for day hikes and bike rides. The home was super clean, well maintained, extra warm blankets for cooler weather, great a/c when needed, wood burning fireplace and comfy couches to hangout on. We look forward to our return!

Nice Cabin, Great Location

Very nice and spacious cabin in a quiet and very centralized location. Everything in the cabin is in very good condition. Well located, just a couple of miles from Blowing Rock and about 15 minutes from Boone (bigger chain stores available like Walmart, Walgreens, and chain restaurants). Road to cabin is tight but it is paved and is easy to get to. During my 7-day stay I never encountered any vehicular traffic while driving on the neighborhood road. The non-chain restaurants in Blowing Rock are awesome, specially the Specked Trout. There are not many amenities at the cabin (hot tub, pool table, video games, etc.) except for various video streaming services, but we spent most of our time out and about. There are numerous hiking spots all over the area. Three things that I would add to this cabin is a Keurig machine, some window curtains to the windows facing the street, and maybe a pool table. Other than that, I would say this is a near perfect cabin (with very nice hosts).

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are Ed and Stephanie, and we are mountain people. It’s where we go to relax, refresh and recharge. Life slows down and we breathe easier. Both of us grew up vacationing here, and Stephanie went to college in nearby Boone. When the opportunity to own a little piece of the High Country popped up, our dream came true. The Dala House’s name and design reflects Stephanie’s Swedish heritage. We’ve taken great pride in remodeling and decorating it to create a warm, inviting and peaceful place. We are truly delighted to share it with you! Expect attention to detail, excellent customer service, and lots of warm, Southern hospitality.
