Black Dog of Blue Ridge- Pet Friendly | Fenced In Yard | Hot Tub | Outdoor Fireplace
Black Dog of Blue Ridge is named for the owners' loyal dog, who loves coming to Blue Ridge to relax on the deck and roam in his fenced yard. This peaceful retreat is great for a family, few couples, or a girls/guys weekend. Bring your own furry friend as well!
This prow front home offers a rustic yet elegant setting with contemporary, premier furnishings, almost all purchased locally from Blue Ridge stores. Here, gazing out at spectacular views, you'll feel at peace and at home while the real world disappears and your cares fade away.
Start each morning with the sun rising over a view that even the locals call "amazing." Have breakfast in the gorgeous dine-in kitchen as dazzling colors outside your window transform into a clear blue sky.
In pursuit of adventure? Take your loyal pooch for a hike through the mountainside, then head out to the river for whitewater rafting or tubing. Head over to the stables for a lovely horseback ride through the hills, then hit some balls on one the area's pristine golf courses. Wind up the afternoon with a visit to nearby apple orchards for some beautiful fresh fruit.
Kids of all ages will love hanging out downstairs, spending a rainy afternoon playing pool or board games. Fix a drink at the wet bar and grab a snack from the mini-refrigerator, then relax watching a movie snuggled up on the couch in front of the fireplace…Even the twin bedroom is downstairs for the ultimate weekend getaway.
When stomachs start growling, grill some steaks out on the deck for an easy, carefree dinner. Then take in a glorious sunset as you lounge on a sofa by the outdoor stone fireplace. Or, perhaps go for a twilight walk on Black Dog's two sprawling acres of land.
After a fun-filled day, enjoy a soothing soak in the hot tub by the light of the moon. Rinse off in the master bath's walk-in shower or whirlpool tub before crawling in to bed for a wonderful night's sleep. Spend a leisurely morning in bed before starting another great day of mountain activities!
You, the ones you love and your faithful friends are guaranteed to have an amazing time at Black Dog of Blue Ridge. After spending some time here, your favorite command is sure to be “stay.”

We enjoyed our stay. The house was the right size for two couples and an almost walking baby. The view is spectacular. We tried our best to put everything in order before we left. Our only comment includes an accidental alarm going to the fire department while trying to disable the alarms. We apologize for that. The vent above the stove does not vent to the outside, instead, going back into the kitchen so we set off the alarms almost every time we cooked. Thanks for allowing us to have family time.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your review of Black Dog of Blue Ridge. We sincerely apologize that the smoke detector was triggered while you were cooking due to the range vent. We understand how inconvenient that must have been and truly regret the disruption to your stay.
This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We hope you will give us another opportunity in the near future to provide you with the seamless and relaxing stay you deserve.
Fire place in the living room did not work.A new mattress is required for the upstairs bedroom.

Thank you for staying with us at Black Dog of Blue Ridge and for taking the time to share your review. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the fireplace and the master bedroom mattress. Please know that both concerns have been under review since your departure. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a more comfortable stay.
We stayed 5 nights in the spring. The house was exactly as described with the views being even more spectacular in person. We went with our two young children and our 80lb dog. We took advantage of hiking trails and horseback riding in the area.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and sharing this kind review! "Clean cabin, excellent customer service, and amazing stay" are words that add up to "a lot of happy employees" for us! We hope you are able to come back and stay with us on your next adventure and we look forward to hosting all of you again soon!
For us, the drive in an out was a little challenging as it had some steep grades and the outdoor space was not as usable as we had hoped. On the upside, the home is very clean, spacious, and the beds are very comfortable. It's also very close to Mercier Orchards and the Fanin County recreation park which offers really nice sport courts.
The property is very nice, it was a relaxing cabin stay in the mountains just as we had hoped. The cabin offered all the amenities and more. Would recommend and visit again.

We loved our stay at Black Dog of Blue Ridge. It’s convenient to town (but make sure you follow the host directions and not Google), has great views from the deck, a comfortable outside fireplace in winter, and a perfect fenced yard for pups who like to run around. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to travel back soon
Really enjoyed this cabin! Property was great. It seems the area might have had some weather impact recently as a road was out and we had to detour around to reach the cabin. There was also a bit of damage to a fence section due to a tree, but it didn't impact our stay.Would definitely rebook!

We appreciate your review of Black Dog of Blue Ridge. We have had some very severe thunderstorms at night recently and it heavily affects our cabins. We thank you for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
This property was everything the listing said it was! If you want a secluded vacation with wonderful views, this is the property for you. It was wonderful having a fenced in yard for my dog to be in
Beautiful view! Spacious and clean home. Easy access to great little downtown shops and restaurants

Visited for a quick long weekend trip. Directions to the cabin were very accurate and the descriptions were great. The pictures of the views didn’t do it justice. We had some bad weather our last night, but we only lost power for a few hours. All in all amazing trip and can’t wait to book it again.
