About this property

Turkey Trot- Light & Bright Blowing Rock Guest Suite

THE SPACE: Enjoy our beautiful, fun newly renovated guest suite atop a quiet mountain at one of the most convenient locations near Blowing Rock. Private entrance with flat, paved parking right beside the door gives you easy access. The suite is a large space with sleeping, lounging, and work areas. The alcove has a cozy queen size bed, with a supportive and comfortable hybrid memory foam mattress on an adjustable bed base with luxury linens and USB charging outlets. Additional full size 6" memory foam platform bed available upon request. Relax in the living area with board games, DVDs, or watch Netflix & Amazon on the 65" tv- you may also bring your credentials for other apps (no cable tv). The desk alcove provides working space if needed and the suite has dedicated high speed internet and its own HVAC/ heat & air conditioning, also has a 4-speed ceiling fan. The bathroom has a spa-like feeling with a low-threshold shower and walnut vanity. Cedar lined walk in closet with extra pillows & blankets. Outdoor ski rack provided in winter months. Please NOTE: We do have several chickens and a proud rooster on property. We do not allow pets of any kind. Park in the upper driveway (all the way around the front of the house) and enjoy flat, no stairs access directly to the studio door.

LOCATION: We are located in a very quiet, peaceful area on a state-maintained gravel road. We are tucked in among the trees surrounded by abundant wildlife- turkey, deer, songbirds- and starry nighttime skies. The Blue Ridge Parkway and many local hiking & biking trails are close by. The Middle Fork Greenway trail and Tweetsie Railroad are within walking distance, only minutes to Blue Deer Cookies, Birdie's Coffee, and Mystery Hill. 5 miles to downtown Blowing Rock, Tanger Outlets and Appalachian Ski Mountain, and 4 miles to Boone. 7-8 miles from two equestrian centers. Excellent restaurants abound nearby and we're happy to make recommendations.
Only 5 minutes from Boone, 30 minutes to Banner Elk, and 30 - 40 minutes from Sugar or Beech ski areas. We are 10 minutes from Appalachian State University and 30 minutes Lees McRae University.

AMENITIES: mini fridge with freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, selection of teas & coffee, cork screw, WIFI, night lights, some paper goods, board games, books & DVDs provided. In the cedar closet you'll find extra blankets, pillows, and iron & ironing board, hangers & luggage rack. Bathroom vanity houses a hair dryer, soaps and shampoos, plenty of tp and some cleaning supplies in case guests need them. Linens are cleaned using scent and dye free detergents and air filters are frequently changed- we are sensitive to those with allergies.

Very clean, very cozy and comfortable! Loved it and plan to stay again. It made me rate my skiing experience even though I didn't ski, so I just gave it a 5 so it wouldn't affect the overall rating.

Wonderful location

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful rental. The location was perfect and the property was well apportioned and comfortable. There was a lot of light and the decor was modern and stylish. My 8 year old son said, “ Wow! This place looks really great.” as we arrived. We would certainly stay here again.

The one thing (of many) that I liked about this rental was that it had a woman's touch. It was nicely decorated with most everything new or like new. I felt very comfortable and I would definitely stay again!

Upscale stay in a quaint atmosphere

My husband I enjoyed our stay in this property. It was convenient to some of the best hiking trails and eateries, yet far enough away from the main highway traffic. The room was very clean, the bed super comfortable and the hosts even provided a cabinet of toiletries to choose from. We will definitely consider a return visit when we are in this area again! Well done!

Beautiful & Perfect!

This cute little Turkey Trot exceeded my expectations - it was beautiful and perfect! Quiet space with own driveway and entrance. The inside was very clean, bright and airy, linenes were soft and cozy and to mention a wonderful nights sleep on the Structures adjustable bed. An additional full size bed was added to the space for my 10 yr old. Bathroom was equipped with plenty of linens and the shower was nice! Less than a 10 minute drive into town and the property owner was quick to respond and a delight to work with. 5 EXCELLENT stay!

Beautiful escape in the mountains

Jen was an amazing host from start to finish. The accommodation was just as advertised. Very clean. Lovely furnishings. The bed was phenomenal and I’m not looking forward to returning to my own bed and mattress tonight! Such a perfect night’s sleep. The fridge was larger than we expected! I only wish I could leave more than 5 stars. We would love to come back. Thank you Jen and Family for creating such a relaxing and peaceful stay for us.

We loved it

It was quality, clean, new, aesthetically pleasing, peaceful, well planned and convenient. Definitely worth the price that I paid. The only thing inconvenient was the small size of the shower chamber. But it’s easy to ignore it because the overall offering from this rental compensates for it.

Mountain getaway

Rental was very spacious and exactly as advertised. Was clean and had everything we needed. Be advised that the road is about half mile of packed gravel, but was well maintained as described. Need to go slow on it. Not far off main road and only about a mile from Tweetsie, but seems very remote. Very quiet. Disappointed we didn’t see any bears. Expected to. Parked right at door and easy to unload car. Adjustable bed was a nice treat. Only constructive criticism is the internet was intermittent but not a big deal.

Room was not set up

When we arrived, there was trash all over the floor and beds where where not made. The owner reached out to us two days before we came, then never cleaned the place up from her previous visitors. We did not receive a full refund afterwards after the owners agreed that she would refund us.
