Description Description
Grandfather Vistas has three bedrooms but also has one additional private sleeping area.

Come and enjoy this beautiful Timberframe-style home situated in a gated community with breathtaking Grandfather Mountain views!

The main level features an open floor plan with two entrances. One entrance is level and goes through the laundry room, and the other has just four steps through the front door and into the great room. The kitchen has leathered-surface granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a huge island with 5 bar stools around it, and there’s room for 6 more at the dining room table. Cozy leather couches are arranged around the remote-controlled gas log fireplace with a 55” SmartTV mounted above it.


There are two master bedroom suites on this level, one on either side of the great room. The suite to the left has a Queen bed, 55” SmartTV, and adjoins a full bath with a tiled shower. This bathroom also opens to the laundry hallway. The other master suite, to the right of the great room, has a King bed and a twin fold-out sleeper sofa, a 55” SmartTV, as well as a private bath with a tiled shower.

Downstairs is a second living area with a café-style table and a sitting area including a Queen sleeper sofa arranged around another 55” SmartTV, a full bathroom with a tub/shower, and two more rooms each with a Queen bed. Enjoy a spirited game of ping-pong in the garage just off the sitting area! If you wish to park inside the garage, simply fold up the ping pong table and store it against the wall.

Both of the decks at this home overlook the beautiful views of Grandfather and Grandmother Mountains. The upper deck has Adirondack chairs and a gas grill, and the lower deck has a patio table and a 4-person hot tub. The firepit outside the house is the perfect spot for s’mores and stargazing fun.  

Guests staying at this home have access to the covered pavilion at the entrance of the community. This pavilion has a wide open meeting space and a built in grill, as well as a large grassy area for kids of all ages to play in. Catch & Release fly fishing is permitted in the wide, shallow river flowing beside the pavilion, as well.

Located in the gated Timber Rock community just 15 minutes south of Blowing Rock, this lovely property is a wonderful home base for your mountain adventures. All of the High Country’s best shopping, dining, and attractions are just a short drive away. Kick back, relax, and take in Grandfather Vistas today!

We have stayed at Grandfather Vistas several times and love it! The house is well stocked and very comfortable. The views from the house and neighborhood are absolutely beautiful and it’s incredibly private and peaceful. It’s a short drive up 321 to Blowing Rock and about 30 minutes to Boone.

Thank you, Lauren. We're glad you enjoyed Grandfather Vistas again. We’ll pass your kind words on to the owners. We’d love to host you again. - BRMR

We spent a few days celebrating my husband’s fortieth birthday and this was the perfect location. Close to downtown Blowing Rock and our first time in Lenoir. Beautiful views, peaceful and quiet, great spaces for our needs. We will definitely consider visiting again.

We loved the house, not only the space and amenities inside, but especially the amazing view from the porch. Whether it's a clear day or pouring rain, it is so relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy the mountain view and the quiet of the surrounding neighborhood, tucked in between the trees. It was really easy to get to from Blowing Rock, and to get on the parkway to enjoy drives and hikes each day. Make sure to check out Kilwins in town for ice cream and treats!

Perfect cabin with a gorgeous view. Great communication and easy check in and out process. My only suggestion is upon arrival don’t pull in the first entrace but pass it and turn in the second entrance so the cabin is on your right because it’s much easier to pull out of the driveway facing that way :)

Beautiful view!!
Great house with a beautiful view! We saw lots of wildlife....a bear ran across the backyard and several deer, turkeys and bunnies! One suggestion for owners is to put a few rocking chairs on the deck....we had an infant and it would have been nice to rock and enjoy the beautiful view. We took extra towels/cloths since only one towel/cloth per person was provided. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of games, books and puzzles on the lower level. The internet was spotty so be prepared. We had a great vacation with family in this very homey rental!

The view from this home was the reason we booked it and it did not disappoint! This is our family's 4th stay at a BRMR property in the last year and we are consistently impressed with the cleanliness of the homes. Everyone from BRMR has always been so helpful and easy to work with. This house was incredibly clean and well appointed. We cooked multiple meals and had everything we needed. There were lots of games and puzzles for a rainy day. The hot tub was very clean and also had a great view. We found the house to be spacious but not overly massive. The house is pretty secluded and we almost never heard any man-made noises. It was about a 15 to 20 minute drive to the things we wanted to do around Blowing Rock. So our outings weren't spur of the moment. However the quiet seclusion and the breathtaking sunset view from the large covered deck were more than worth a short commute! We will absolutely rent this home again!

Grandfather Vistas is a comfortable home with beautiful views. The sun set over Grandfather Mountain right outside the living area windows/deck. The kitchen island is awesome. We cooked dinners with ease. Quiet, private location but close enough to places of interests.

This is a spacious and well-appointed house that’s about a 15 minute drive from downtown Blowing Rock, and about the same range (depending on where you’re going) to lots of hiking opportunities. The house feels quite secluded, has a great view of the mountains, and is set up with new appliances. Everything (including the hot tub) worked really well, and the property folks very responsive to our questions or needs.
My partner and I spent a weekend here, but the house could easily accommodate a larger group and a longer stay. This was a great base for our trip!

What a lovely place! Really, this home looks great in photos, but it is actually better in person! Our group of eight (parents, adult children, and spouses) had a wonderful stay and we have already discussed a repeat stay in the future. We cooked a bit in the kitchen, sat around the fireplace and the fire pit outside, slept in comfortably, and hated to leave. Everything was very clean, and the stay went off with no complications or difficulties. Since it was an all couples group, we really appreciated that there were four large beds and no couple had to be split up on twins or a bunk bed. It’s not always easy to find that.

We loved the house and views!
The house was beautiful and the neighborhood was quiet. We had a total of 7 people and 2 babies stay which worked great for the most part. The only issue which I didn't realize until we got there was the living room really only had room for 3 maybe 4 people to sit so after the babies went to bed people had to disperse if they wanted a place to sit. The back deck had plenty of room for everyone but we were there during some chilly weather, otherwise it would have been totally fine. Overall we loved the house and the nearby town of Blowing Rock. Definitely recommend this house.

Beautiful, clean and perfectly decorated!
This property was perfect for what our family needed. We were only looking for a place to stay while we went to a local event and once we were there we hated we didn't have more time to actually enjoy it. We travel a lot and thought this property was perfectly decorated without too much. The ping pong table was a huge hit and although the hot tub was very nice, we unfortunately didn't have a chance to use it. Our only complaint really was having to drive to the office which was several miles past the house to get the keys. It was late and we were very tired but overall everything was great!
