We'll be back.
Super comfortable. Discovered we didnt have toaster but a quick mesaage to Emily and we had one that day. Only one minor complaint, the ad says 2 twin beds but it is a twin and rollout trundle which isnt real suitable for aduts in their late 60s. Lol. But one of our group canceled last minute so did'nt even matter. We came fir an annual sports car event and if we dont come next year to stay there, we will highly recommend The Carriage House!

Relaxing
Owner was great with communication. Home Decorated nicely. The kitchen was well stocked With dishes & towels. Bedrooms were good size. Bathrooms with linens and good size. Downstairs bed & bath really nice. Small no door trundle bedroom could use a door. (It’s right off kitchen) Comfy upstairs living room. Laundry room upstairs a plus. Convenient to downtown. Great stay!

Weekend in the Mountains
We loved our stay in Emily’s Carriage House! It was exactly as described, and was charming. There was plenty of room for five adults and two children, and had ample family gathering space as well. It was a 10 minute walk to town (as advertised), and provided a private and lovely mountain respite.

This was the loveliest home and probably the most well stocked and cleanest place we’ve ever booked for a vacation. The location was convenient to downtown but still felt like country living! Absolutely wonderful and we can’t wait to visit again!!

Great place for family vacation
Our stay was amazing, the house was very cozy and in great location. Only 5 min drive (20 min walk) to grocery store and 10 min drive to Appalachian ski. Perfect place for family vacation. We had a great time. Thank you.

Amazing Location
We were a group of 3 moms and our 3 sons. The home was very clean, upgrades throughout, plenty of space, nice modern touches yet very cozy and blowing rock/cabin themed. The moms enjoyed having our own thermostat in each room. Was great that we could all be comfortable. We also enjoyed the large dining table and were able to play card games with the kids each night. The kids loved the bonus room with the trundle. They were very comfortable and we all had plenty of room. Kitchen had lots of supplies - but the restaurants were so close by we didn’t use them. Very short walk to all the restaurants and shoppes. We would love to stay again.

Nice stay
This is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The owner left many needed essentials such as cleaning supplies and paper goods. I would have liked to have had a little more cabinet or shelf space for certain kitchen items that I bring with me when we travel. However it was great to have nice kitchen appliances already there! Thanks, Emily, for looking out for us. You fixed the fan light promptly!

The Carriage House
We enjoyed the Carriage House. Emily has her property well maintained with all the amenities and it is located in a great neighborhood to take a stroll. The property is located five minutes from the park and the community swimming pool. Both are great for the kids to get a good amount of play after consuming pizza at Mellow Mushroom and ice cream at Kilwins! We had four children under the age of 6 and the games furnished were great to have for the kids and the adults to play. We used to have property in Blowing Rock that we sold last year and this was our first experience with a VRBO. We have four generations of memories in Blowing Rock and this vacation with the newest generation will be more of many to come. Emily is very easy to contact with answers to questions and very accommodating. Fantastic time was had by us all. We will definitely be back!

Disappointed with this property...
We found THE CARRIAGE HOUSE to be too crowded with the owner's belongings. The furniture was outdated and too big for the space. Some shelves and drawers had been cleared for our things, but we felt cramped for space, especially in our bathroom. the master bathroom is very small with very little counter space for our items. As an older couple, we had a problem with the stairs since it was necessary to get to the second floor to enjoy a more comfortable, upgraded space. Each TV operated differently or not at all(with no instructions!), the kitchen is very small , the cabinets are overpacked with items stuffed in with no discernable order, lack of unified air conditioning , a large dehumidifier(?) was running all the time, small upstairs deck has been neglected for some time, a new cleaning crew is needed. Emily was easy to deal with and was very kind. I am sure this property was very nice 20-30 years ago.

Great Location!
This home is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood close to the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Blowing Rock. It had a perfect layout for my husband and I, plus our son's family. Plenty to do for all of us and everything we liked to do was just minutes away! The only minor complaint was that we had trouble with the internet. Perhaps this was because we had so many devices or this might be typical for the NC mountains. Anyway it in no way disturbed our time there. Blowing Rock has plenty of great restaurants and we loved just strolling the downtown. We would love to come back next year!

We had an amazing experience staying here. The location was perfect, the home was spotless, the beds were comfy, and Emily was a huge help! She thought of every detail. We appreciated the little touches like bathroom toiletries, coffee, games, and movies. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Family Ski Vacation
Our family takes an annual vacation and this is the first one to the mountains to ski. The Carriage House was perfect for us. It was very neat and clean. Proximity to the downtown area was excellent. I would recommend this to my friends visiting in the area.

Everything and more!
I have never booked on Home Away and was very nervous about it, but decided to go for it! I booked this house while in town for a horse show. It was AMAZING!! The house looked just like the pictures. The beds were comfortable, it was very clean, the neighbors friendly. It was exactly what was represented. I was worried about the walk into town because we usually stay at a hotel in town so we can walk. This walk to town was simple!! I cooked several times and found all of the utensils and dishes I needed. It could not have been a better experience!!

We had a great time!!
We had 2 families of 4 staying there and it was perfect. We used the downstairs dining room for the adults to hang out and the upstairs living room for the kids to play and spread out their toys. It was a great location for walking into town and also getting to all the local attractions. There was plenty of restaurants and shopping right in town, so it was easy!
