The Orchard at Blowing Rock · 20 Acres

A cabin with history
and views that go on forever.

Built over a century ago on land once part of the Moses Cone apple orchard, this cabin has been thoughtfully updated while keeping the character that only 100+ years can give a place. Wake up to 100-mile views from the master suite, send the kids to the loft, and spend the evening on a 700 square foot deck watching the sun drop behind the mountains.

A century of character. Every modern comfort.

This cabin was built over a hundred years ago by — and eventually gifted to — the caretaker of the Cone Family Apple Orchard. It sits on 20 acres of mountain land just 2.5 miles from Main Street in Blowing Rock, with 100-mile views from almost every room.

We've spent years carefully updating it to maintain the rich history while adding the comforts you'd expect from a modern stay. Tongue and groove spruce walls. A stone fireplace that makes the living room feel like it's always been here. A master suite with a king bed, private balcony, and views over Blackberry Gorge that stretch all the way to Charlotte on a clear day.

The main level sleeps nine, with a king bed in the master, a queen in the second bedroom, three twins, and a convertible sofa. The lower level is entirely separate — accessed from the deck — with its own queen bedroom, living area, and convertible sofa. Two families, two levels, shared views.

Upstairs, the kids get their own world in the Clubhouse loft: sleeping cubbies, a queen bed, and more games than they'll know what to do with. You'll hear them laughing from the deck while you're watching the sunset with a glass of wine in the egg chair. That's the whole point.

100-Mile Views

From the master bed, the balcony, the deck, the living room — they're everywhere.

"The place was even more beautiful than the pictures or description could do justice for. We hosted a team building retreat there which it worked out amazing for! I most definitely will be back with my family and children!"

"This cottage was AMAZING!! Unbeatable views, plenty of space and all of the beds were super comfortable. There were 6 of us staying for the weekend and we had plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. The deck and hot tub were incredible and Brian was very quick with the responses to help us figure out how to work the fire pit! Will definitely stay at this property again if in the area!"

"Our stay at Brian's place was amazing! The view from the kitchen and dining room is unbeatable, and it's so close to Blowing rock (just off 221), but far enough away that it still feels secluded and private. Great hike down to the lake, and it felt like it was less than an hour away from everything we wanted to see (Grandfather Mountain, Mystery Hill, Beech Mountain, Hawksnest Snow Tubing, Banner Elk, etc.). Highly recommend this place, and Brian was a perfect host who made communication and every step easy!"

"I have stayed at numerous vacation rentals over the years and have never felt compelled to write a review but this place deserves to be raved about! Everything was spotless, well stocked with lots of small extras. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into what a renter may want or need."

"This space was everything we wanted and more for my girls weekend. Between the hot tub, views from the master bedroom waking up to eating breakfast looking out at the sunrise — it is a stunning property in the perfect location."

"Super clean home, nice and spacious. Unbeatable views, private but still just a few minutes to town. We have stayed in various homes around Blowing Rock. This one takes the cake for sure."
