The Front Cottage – Updated Seasonal Retreat in the Heart of Downtown Blowing Rock
Discover the perfect blend of modern comfort and mountain charm at The Front Cottage, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage tucked away on a quiet, wooded street just steps from downtown Blowing Rock. Whether you're dreaming of cozy ski weekends, crisp fall football getaways, or lazy summer mornings on the deck, this seasonal rental offers a rare opportunity to truly settle into mountain life—with all the comforts of home and the best of Blowing Rock at your doorstep.
Why Stay for a Weekend When You Can Stay for the Season?
Forget the stress of packing and unpacking every time you visit—The Front Cottage is available as a seasonal rental, giving you the flexibility to come and go as you please. Leave your gear, keep your favorite mountain clothes in the closet, and return whenever the mountains call.
Whether you're planning a winter of skiing, a spring or summer of hiking, biking, and horseback riding, or you want to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, or cheer on App State all season long, this is your home base for it all.
Spacious Layout with Room for Everyone
This charming single-level home offers a functional and spacious layout, ideal for families, couples, or anyone needing a mix of relaxation and productivity.
Three Large Bedrooms:
Primary King Suite – Features a luxurious king bed, a spacious layout, and a recently renovated en-suite bathroom with high-end finishes.
Second King Suite – Another generously sized bedroom with a king bed, full en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo, and its own desk—perfect for remote work or school.
Third Bedroom (Queen + Twin) – This flexible room sleeps up to three and also includes a dedicated desk space, making it a great kids' room, guest space, or second home office.
With two workstations in separate rooms, it's easy to balance a work-from-home lifestyle while still enjoying everything the High Country has to offer. Wondering what it’s like to live in the mountains full-time? Here’s your chance to try it—without giving up your remote job or everyday conveniences.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
One of the standout features of The Front Cottage is the beautifully designed outdoor space, created for both relaxation and fun. Perfect for gathering with friends and family, entertaining guests, or enjoying quiet mornings with coffee and birdsong.
Newly Built Deck – A stylish and comfortable lounge area with outdoor dining table, mini fridge, grill, and cozy seating.
Stone Courtyard Below – Step down from the deck into a private courtyard featuring a fire pit with Adirondack chairs—perfect for s’mores, stargazing, or warming up after a winter walk.
Kid’s Play Set – Keeps the little ones happy and active, all within your own fenced outdoor space.
Incredible Location – Walk to Everything

Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! One of our favorite things about this property is its unbeatable setting. Tucked on a quiet, wooded street, the home offers a true sense of peace and privacy—but just behind the house, a shaded gravel drive leads you directly to Main Street in downtown Blowing Rock. It’s an easy, scenic stroll through the mountain laurels that brings you right into the heart of town.
We love how walkable everything is from here. In just minutes, you can be enjoying one of Blowing Rock’s popular restaurants, grabbing a coffee, or catching live music in the park. The brand-new kids' playground, along with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, is just down the hill and perfect for families or anyone wanting to stay active. There’s even a local brewery nearby for a relaxed afternoon drink after a hike.
This neighborhood offers that rare balance of tranquil mountain retreat and vibrant small-town energy, all within walking distance. It’s a place where you can truly unwind—without ever feeling too far from the action.

What makes this property unique
What really sets The Front Cottage apart is its incredible flexibility—whether you’re looking for a short-term getaway or a longer seasonal stay, this home is perfect for you. Leave your gear, keep your favorite hiking boots or ski jackets in the closet, and come up whenever you want—long weekends, remote workdays, school breaks, or whenever the mountains are calling.
It’s an ideal spot for families, couples, or App State fans hoping to catch home football games (snag those season tickets!). Want to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s in the mountains? Cozy up by the fire pit, sip hot chocolate, and pick out a fresh-cut Christmas tree nearby—it’s a magical way to spend the holidays.
And if you can’t make every trip yourself, consider splitting the rental with a friend or second family to make the most of your time here.
From skiing in winter, to leaf-peeping and hiking in fall, to biking, horseback riding, and festivals in summer, The Front Cottage offers a comfortable, welcoming base to experience it all—on your schedule and your terms.
