About this property

Rockcliff Retreat - 4BR, 3BA - 15min To Blowing Rock - Mountain Views

  • Escape the pressures and hassles of life at Rockcliff Retreat! Perfectly nestled amid natural forestry and shrubs, with stunning views of the John's River Gorge and Grandfather Mountain from all three levels and both decks, and top-of-the-line furnishings and fixtures, this is the perfect place to rest your body and renew your mind yet still feel connected, with the convenience of newly installed Starlink hi-speed internet.

    As you enter the main level, the stone fountain set into the wall greets you with soothing water ambient noises. The kitchen, fully equipped with all the cooking items you will need, has a stone flooring and beautifully detailed stone tilework on the walls around the granite worktops and stainless steel appliances. The elegant solid wood dining table with four chairs and a bench plus four extra stools as well as three stools at the kitchen bar provide plenty of dining space. Access to the attached garage is through the kitchen, and the 2-bay garage has one bay for guest parking and one set up with a ping-pong table.

    The living room, decorated with modern contemporary touches, has a 20-foot high stone gas log fireplace, windows soaring to the cathedral ceiling, magnificent long- and short-range views, and a 65" smart Tv.

    There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main level, as well. Both bedroom's have queen beds. The full bathroom has a stone tiled tub/shower, stone flooring, and detailed stone tilework around the sink.

    Downstairs is a second living room, with a 55-Inch flat panel TV with Blu-Ray player, a fireplace with woodstove, a Queen-sized sleeper sofa, a shelf of games, air hockey table, and 3 doors to the lower patio where the swing awaits in perfect privacy. There is also a bedroom with two sets of twin over queen bunks, a full bath with an overhead heat lamp, stone flooring, and a stone tiled tub/shower and sink. Also on this level is a spacious laundry room, with a washing machine & dryer and ample counter & cabinet space.

    Upstairs is a desk which is perfect for writing or stationing your laptop. But of course, this house has wireless internet, so there's really no need to be confined to a desk. The spacious master suite is on this level, with a King-sized bed, a loveseat, and a large built in wardrobe. The private bathroom has a roomy garden tub and stone tiled shower as well as double granite vanities, heated floor, and heated towel rack.

    The main level deck has stunning long-range views. From the lower deck, go downstairs even further to a smaller deck, perfect for stargazing, or a great starting point to explore the surrounding woods with easy to strenuous hiking trails surrounding the property. Sit and contemplate the beauty of the area from the large natural boulders set into the hill. Rhododendron, lilies of all colours, white pine trees, and more all combine for elegantly beautiful natural landscaping that provides total privacy.

    With all that this lovely home has to offer, you may not want to leave this haven. But when you do, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it is only 10 minutes to city centre Blowing Rock, 15 minutes to Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railway, 20 minutes to Boone, and a short drive to any other High Country attractions. You're sure to love staying at Rockcliff Retreat!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The phenomenal view of miles and miles of mountain tops make this a unique property close to Blowing Rock. The drive up the single lane road from the main road is not for the faint of heart, but the house and view make it well worth while. The kids loved the bunk room.

Beautiful view & a wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Grandfather's Porch. The layout of the home was very nice and worked well for our family. The house had plenty for our kids to do (hot tub, air hockey, games, etc) and the accommodations were nice. The drive in was a one lane gravel road for about a mile (a little tricky when meeting up with other vehicles which only happened a few times) and the home was super convenient to the town of Blowing Rock. The house provided such wonderful views and we loved seeing all the stars at night! The property mgmt company was good to work with throughout the process.
