ABOUT SWEETGRASS
Within the neighborhood is Boone Fork Creek, which winds through the middle of Sweetgrass and has been designated as a North Carolina Outstanding Trout Stream.  Just a little ways up the road at the heart of SweetGrass is the 22-acre lake fed by Boone Fork Creek! Bring your own canoes/kayaks and paddles to enjoy this beautiful lake!

Sweetgrass features beautiful mountain vistas, a trout-filled lake and stream, and miles of pristine mountain trails which are perfect for hiking, riding, and biking.  At Sweetgrass you'll find a mountain playground like no other.  Here, each season brings with it something spectacular. The springtime is ablaze with wildflowers, the summers are filled with warm days and cool nights which are perfect for daytime outdoor adventures and evenings around the firepit, fall's foliage is absolutely stunning, and the snows of winter transform the area into a picturesque winter wonderland. 

Each season is perfect for outdoor recreation, but there is much more to do here than simply enjoy the splendor of nature. There are also a variety of festivals, community events, upscale shops, and gourmet restaurants to enjoy in Blowing Rock. Combining the welcoming mountain living of Bluebird Cottage, Sweetgrass, and Blowing Rock will enable you to enjoy a lifestyle that is unrivaled by that of any other High Country location.

Located just 2 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 12 minutes from Main Street Blowing Rock, 15 minutes from Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park and Appalachian Ski Resort, 20 minutes from Boone and Grandfather Mountain, 30 minutes to Hawksnest and Sugar Mountain, you may find that Bluebird Cottage is your new favorite place to call home.

Very nice place! as a heads up, there is no Cell service on that side of the mountain. Be prepared to use WiFi calling mode on your phone. WiFi service in home is great and very fast.

Such a great house! Favorite spot was the outdoor fireplace on the back porch. Great experience every time we went into Blowing Rock - wonderful people. Short trip to Grandfather Mountain. Worth it! Even just the trails in our neighborhood were delightful…

This is our 2nd visit to Blue Bird Cottage and it did not disappoint. The home is exquisitely decorated with lots of thoughtful creature comforts. We spent most of our vacation at the house and enjoyed the amenities of the Sweet Grass community including hiking and fishing every day.

There's no other way to describe this home and the surrounding area other than perfect. The house is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked with everything needed for cooking and baking. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Lots of walking trails, streams, and nature. Close proximity to restaurants and shops, yet far enough away to feel like a true getaway. We're already planning our next visit!

This house was decorated superbly. It was cozy, comfortable and well laid out. I can't say enough nice things about it. While it's about a 15 min ride from Blowing Rock, it's located in a beautiful, new neighborhood setting. We walked on a trail alongside a creek, popping out by a small lake. It was serene.

The Bluebird House was fantastic! beautiful and somewhere we would certainly stay again. Rental agency was slow getting back to us on the use of the indoor fireplace (gas logs with no directions....although easy once they responded) thus we didn't get to use them the first night and day. Minor in regard to the stay. The house is great with fantastic kitchen (well stocked with cooking utensils) and the bathrooms were first class in regards to bathtub, showers, closet space, etc... Neighborhood was quiet and great for walks and spending time walking the creek trail. Convenient to the Parkway and easy ride to Blowing Rock on Shulls Mill Rd. Beautiful fun drive that allowed us to see pretty scenery without taking the highway. I could not rank this house any higher! Just fantastic!
