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.

Wonderful cottage!

The cottage location is perfect for a short (1/4 mile?) to Main st. The cottage is well maintained, clean and updated. Emily and Mike were very gracious in answering questions or Coming to show us how the fireplace worked. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location

We enjoyed our long weekend. Emily reached out and had extra salt delivered if we needed it in case of weather. Home as described and was perfect for the 7 of us. Location was perfect in the heart of Blowing Rock and only a 10 min. Drive to App ski resort. Would recommend!
