Description Description
Escape the pressures and hassles of life at Rockcliff Retreat! Perfectly nestled amid natural forestry and shrubs, with stunning views of the John's River Gorge and Grandfather Mountain from all three levels and both decks, and top-of-the-line furnishings and fixtures, this is the perfect place to rest your body and renew your mind.

As you enter the main level, the stone fountain set into the wall greets you with soothing water ambient noises. The kitchen, fully equipped with all the cooking items you will need, has a stone flooring and beautifully detailed stone tilework on the walls around the granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The elegant solid wood dining table with four chairs and a bench plus four extra stools as well as three stools at the kitchen bar provide plenty of dining space. Access to the attached garage is through the kitchen, and the 2-bay garage has one bay for guest parking and one set up with a ping-pong table.


The living room, decorated with modern contemporary touches, has a 20-foot high stone gas log fireplace, windows soaring to the cathedral ceiling, magnificent long- and short-range views, and a 65" smart Tv.

There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main level, as well. Both bedroom's have queen beds. The full bathroom has a stone tiled tub/shower, stone flooring, and detailed stone tilework around the sink.

Downstairs is a second living room, with a 55-Inch flat panel TV with Blu-Ray player, a fireplace with woodstove, a Queen-sized sleeper sofa, a shelf of games, air hockey table, and 3 doors to the lower patio where the swing awaits in perfect privacy. There is also a bedroom with two sets of twin over queen bunks, a full bath with an overhead heat lamp, stone flooring, and a stone tiled tub/shower and sink. Also on this level is a spacious laundry room, with a washer & dryer and ample counter & cabinet space.

Upstairs is a desk which is perfect for writing or stationing your laptop. But of course, this house has high-speed Starlink wireless internet, so there's really no need to be confined to a desk. The spacious master suite is on this level, with a King-sized bed, a loveseat, and a large built in wardrobe. The private bathroom has a roomy garden tub and stone tiled shower as well as double granite vanities, heated floor, and heated towel rack.

The main level deck has stunning long-range views. From the lower deck, go downstairs even further to a smaller deck, perfect for stargazing, or a great starting point to explore the surrounding woods with easy to strenuous hiking trails surrounding the property. Sit and contemplate the beauty of the area from the large natural boulders set into the hill. Rhododendron, lilies of all colors, white pine trees, and more all combine for elegantly beautiful natural landscaping that provides total privacy.

With all that this lovely home has to offer, you may not want to leave this haven. But when you do, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it is only 10 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock, 15 minutes to Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad, 20 minutes to Boone, and a short drive to any other High Country attractions. You're sure to love staying at Rockcliff Retreat!

The phenomenal view of miles and miles of mountain tops make this a unique property close to Blowing Rock. The drive up the single lane road from the main road is not for the faint of heart, but the house and view make it well worth while. The kids loved the bunk room.

Thank you for the review. Glad the mountain views and proximity to Blowing Rock made your stay special, and that the kids loved the bunk room. Come back anytime! - BRMR

We just returned from spending a thoroughly relaxing week in Blowing Rock! Pamela Moore guided me in the selection of a house to rent. She was very informative on the different properties that I asked about. We chose this home, and it was the right choice for us. The house was exactly what we wanted. The views from the decks were amazing. We enjoyed watching the sunsets. We have rented many houses in the area over the last several years, and have never found the house we would want to rent again. THIS is that house. We would definitely rent this property again. This property gives you great amenities, privacy and stellar views, yet you are just 10 minutes from Blowing Rocks restaurants and shops. Thank you Pamela and Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals.

My family and I just returned from a wonderful long weekend in Blowing Rock. I rented Grandfather's Porch for the long weekend and it was simply terrific. The process of finding a place to rent for the weekend on the Blue Ridge Mountain Rental site was easy, information was complete and accurate, and Helen, at Blue Ridge Mountain Rental, was so helpful and friendly. The check-in process was easy, the staff very nice and the house was beautiful, comfortable and in a perfect location. We are already planning our next trip and we will most definitely use Blue Ridge Mountain Rental again and hopefully, will be able to go back to Grandfather's Porch.

Grandfather's Porch was more than we expected! It provided more than enough room for our family of 6. The entire house is beautiful and spacious. Two huge porches with an absolutely breathtaking view of Grandfather Mountain. We loved watching the sunset every evening. It is also very convenient to Blowing Rock - takes maybe 5-7 minutes once you get down the mountain.
