Best of the best

Amazing property for a small to medium size family staying in the NC mountains. Super easy access to Appalachian Ski Mountain as well as being close to Beech and Sugar Mountains. Hosts were amazing. Lots of on property amenities and proximity to pool/spa and restaurant made it even better. Beautifully decorated and well supplied for staying in. Beds were super comfy and gas fireplace was the cherry on top. Coming back again soon!

Beautiful!

We loved our stay at Laurel Nook. The condo is beautiful and clean, and all the beds and furniture are very comfortable and lovely. We really enjoyed the cozy covered porch and outdoor sofa and rockers, a fun place to watch the hummingbirds come and go. The kitchen had everything we needed, down to all the spices, and three ways to make coffee! We loved our time there, and definitely hope to return. Thanks Jeff and Lisa for all your help with making our dates work!❤️

Stay at Chetola Condo in Blowing Rock, NC

We loved our stay at Chetola Resort in July of 2024. Our hosts were very accommodating and we appreciated their condo and all the goodies that greeted us on arrival. It was nice to have all the amenities at our disposal especially the lake with kayaks, paddle boards and walking trail around the lake each day as well as the fire pit! We also enjoyed the hikes to Bass Lake and all the beautiful scenery and wildlife. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool and playground and especially the community one downtown Blowing Rock! The Timberlake restaurant at the resort was delicious!

Mountain Retreat Perfection!

We could not have imagined a more immaculate, cozy, BEAUTIFUL mountain retreat that was fully stocked with ALL of the amenities above and beyond our expectations. Our family could truly unpack and relax- from the smallest detail like fresh eggs in the fridge, local coffee, fun snacks and extra drinks after skiing, to luxurious resort bedding and linens, plus cozy blankets to warm up next to the stone fire place. This condo was like staying at a dear friend’s house, not your typical rental! This condo will be a tradition for our family’s mountain trips for years to come!

This condo is special

The owners go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable….the bird feeders bring in so many birds and chipmunks to the porch that are so fun to watch. The master bath is beautiful. The condo location is perfect to enjoy the resort’s live music at night and the access to the hiking trails is great…hiking the maze and bass lake are beautiful and accessible without getting in a car and provided so much wildlife viewing and gorgeous views. We stayed with our daughter who enjoyed the condo and resort so much.

A Terrific Property and Experience

My wife, I, our 2 daughters and husbands and 1 grandchild had the pleasure to be in this property over the Thanksgiving holiday. What a great location and view, with access to numerous activities. The condo is magnificent and with so many "extra" touches that were both thoughtful and useful. Furnishings are so intentional and lovely, not a miss-mash to fit into a vacation home, from furniture to linens to soaps, etc. The kitchen was well-stocked and the hosts were so welcoming with cereal, snacks, fresh juices, milk, eggs at our disposal. It felt like coming to a friend's home. Beds were all comfy. So many wonderful extras. We hope to return one day soon.

Amazing 5 star experience!!

I cannot say enough good things about this condo. Everything from fast communication with the host about last minute questions to the most welcoming and beautiful property I’ve stayed at. The assortment of pre-stocked snacks and coffee was a game changer. The condo was exactly as described but I’d even say better. The view on the patio alone was so relaxing and we enjoyed watching the birds and chipmunks throughout the day. We were in town for a wedding and our family was completely jealous of our place. We most definitely will be coming back to stay again in the future. Thank you for everything once again.

magical wedding weekend stay

I have to say this has been the best rental experience I’ve ever had. As a mother-of-the bride I could not have asked for a better experience. From the quick response and loveliness of the owners, the beauty of the condo with all the little touches - flowers and plants, bird feeders and all the gardening and cookbooks, it made it feel like I was visiting a friend’s home! The beds were so comfy and so many little amenities from the snacks and drinks, coffee supplies- gotta love a frother! - to the variety of phone plugs and well-placed outlets and power strips, (especially thankful for the Apple Watch power cord as I had forgotten mine!), the owners thought of everything to make this stay really magical. I am so thankful I found this wonderful place. Whenever I come back up this way, this is where I will want to stay!
