This house was perfect. First of all, THE VIEW, wow, stunning view of the Blue Ridge Parkway, breathtaking, incredible. It's about 30 mins from either Boone or Blowing Rock, and we got to drive on the Parkway for most of our journeys, so we got to see more incredible views! I loved the architecture of the house, and the details in the structure and furnishings, encompassing local elements and photographs. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking a few meals, the king size bed was comfy and the room nice and dark with curtains closed. We loved the steam shower, and all linens were nice and fresh. We got to bring our dog, enjoyed the yard, nature trail together, and lounging on the deck. And the stars at night! Wow! I live in a fairly rural area, but there were so many more stars! We brought some binoculars which was fun to enhance the view of the mountains and stars. Peter was prompt to reply and kind when I messaged him. We would have loved to been able to stay for longer and hope to return! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful home on VRBO!
