Blowing Rock is a unique small mountain village with many unique one of a kind shopping experiences and wonderful restaurants. We recommend going into the village or trying some of the local restaurants on the By Pass as well. Blowing Rock has beautiful hiking trails and nature at its finest. It is very mountainous and we recommend the views from the Via Duct on the Blue Ridge Parkway which is just out of town.
You will need a personal car for transportation most of the time although Uber has just come to town. We recommend four wheel drive vehicles in the winter months of January and February. The rest of the year the driveway is just fine and well maintained all year round. The village of Blowing Rock is a 5 minute drive to Main Street.
This home was built to take in all of the wonderful views of the mountains. It is the most comfortable home that I have ever lived in. You wake in the morning to the sounds of birds and nature and glorious sunrises! The view is to the south looking over the John River Gorge. The address is technically Lenoir NC but that is confusing. Lenoir is 20 miles away and this house sits high on the wooded Ridge line just 2.5 miles from the village of Blowing Rock. Yes, it only takes about 5 minutes to drive into the town! The area is Pisgah national Forest and is special in that this area will not be developed in the future due to the National Forest designation. In the winter the view is also very enchanting due to the fact that far, far in the distance you can see the East West corridor of I- 40. We call it the ribbon of lights that run just along the horizon line way out beyond the mountains. It highlights the beauty of the multi layered view of the mountains.
The cabin is on a gravel road and parking is beside the house. There is a turn around area available between the two cottages. We ask that you not use the turn around for parking as it is needed for turning around only.
Located in Lenoir, this cottage is in a rural area and near theme parks. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Sugar Mountain Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore The Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain. Tweetsie Railroad and Bolick Family Pottery are also worth visiting. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, or check out other outdoor activities such as sledding and ice skating. Visit our Lenoir travel guide

Magnificent views. Very clean. Beautiful interior design. Love is in the details. Very comfortable furniture and bed.Lisa was an amazing host. Responds quickly and an excellent communicator.
Beautiful and comfortable, and a gorgeous view out the big windows. The kitchen had everything we needed. We used the firepit and the woodburning stove, which we really appreciated because it was a little cold in early April! Peaceful and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful location close to everything. Loved the views from the cabin. Very clean and comfortable. Will be back.
We enjoyed our stay, the cabin itself is well taken care of and clean. It has beautiful views. The host is very attentive to responding quickly with any questions or concerns.
We have stayed here once before and plan on continuing to come back. We love the cabin, the area and the views! Best place to unwind and relax. Very clean! Highly recommend!
We have stayed at the property twice now and both trips were wonderful. The cabins are incredibly clean, the view is spectacular and the proximity to town is so convenient. We will be back!
Check in was quick. We were able to get in a little early. Nice and clean, well stocked kitchen, very comfy beds. Lisa was great with answering our questions. Enjoyed the inside fire as well as the outside fire pit.
Easy reservations, great accommodations, great communication, everything was very lovely and very clean. Right off the main highway so really easy to go into Blowing Rock. I originally thought it may be further from Blowing Rock with the Lenoir address but literally right on the edge of the big BR.
Beautiful and very clean cabin exactly as shown and described. Very close to Blowing Rock main street with shops and restaurants. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
The pictures don’t do this place justice, it’s got the best views!! It feels very remote but is so close to downtown blowing rock. Everything was clean, well thought out and you can tell the owner takes great pride in the property and serving guests.
A beautiful, well appointed cabin with stunning views. Don’t miss this property. Perfect for a family getaway to Blowing Rock!

A hidden gem
We absolutely loved staying at Ridgecrest! The cabin is adorable and the perfect size for two couples. We enjoyed a long weekend with friends, cooked in your lovely kitchen and sat on the deck and talked and enjoyed the amazing view for hours. I'm so glad we found it and will definitely be back!

Views you dream about
This small cabin is located on top of a ridge line with its own micro-climates passing through daily. The views are spectacular, 75 miles plus on a clear day. The cabin is perfectly furnished and equipped for a stay of any length and the layout with 2 master suites provides privacy as required.
The wrap around deck, with covered front seating area, also provides multiple gathering areas. All in all a great cabin with an easy to work with owner.

Beautiful, well appointed cabin!
We found the cabin to be beautiful and very welcoming! You really only have to bring food! Everything else is provided for ( w/one exception; gas grill is on site, but no tank), a very comfortable stay!
If you want beautiful views, this cabin has it!
If you want to be close to Blowing Rock and still feel like your smack dab in the mountains, you'll be pleased with this cabin!
I contacted Lisa via text a couple of times and she was very responsive! Thanks Lisa for a wonderful stay!

Tranquility and relaxation awaits in this perfectly appointed cottage!
We headed to Bailey Camp for a Friday-Sunday "off the grid" weekend. We were searching for a place to disconnect, relax, read, explore, and hike with our 2 dogs. This property was perfect and much nicer than the photos depict.
Lisa was timely with communication and dinner recommendations. All finishes are new, clean, and well kept. The kitchen is well appointed and we lacked for nothing during our stay. The drive into Blowing Rock is under 10 minutes.
This was exactly what we wanted and badly needed. We will be back!
Cute cabin in great condition; easy access to Blowing Rock.
We really liked the cabin for it's easy access to downtown Blowing Rock and the stunning views from the back deck. The host was extremely communicative and very helpful. House in like-new condition and very clean with great amenities (large deck, nice grill, fire pit, smart tv, modern kitchen, etc.).
The main negative here is the location near a busy highway; you hear a lot of traffic all day long and even late at night as tractor trailer trucks use the road and have to brake for the hills.
Very small yard space for kids. If you can live with the traffic noise the views are certainly stunning and the cabin itself is very cute. But we were hoping for something more quiet and relaxing.
