Everyone loves going on vacation - but no one wants to overpay for their fun! And these days, it seems like everywhere you turn there's a new service that advertises their help... for a fee. Usually, a very high fee! 

Why pay more through the global sites when you can work directly with the local property managers who know the property, know the homeowners, and truly have a vested interest in making your vacation the very best that it can me! 

Let's break down some of the benefits of booking your next High Country vacation cabin rental directly with Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals. 

Lower Prices
You will ALWAYS receive the best possible price when you book direct with Blue Ridge! In addition to saving the third-party platform's service fees, you'll automatically receive any discounts available off the rent. (Did you know third party sites often won't allow us to offer any discounts at all!?) 

Direct Communication
Isn't it a pain to have to route all communication through an app? With Blue Ridge, you have the benefit of reaching us a myraid of ways: call, text, LiveChat online, email, or even in person at one of our 3 locations! And you'll never, ever encounter a lame bot response from Blue Ridge! 

By now you're probably thinking, "Okay, those are all great points. But I'm curious. You keep talking about 'saving money when booking direct.' How do I know I'm definitely getting the best deal?" 

I'm so glad you asked! Take a look at the screenshots below. These are actual price breakdowns for the dates of September 10-15, 2025 at Boulder Creek at Eagles Nest. From left to right we have Blue Ridge's direct website; then VRBO; then AirBNB. 

The numbers don't lie!
