Lakeshore Retreat at Sweetgrass

We had such a wonderful weekend at Lakeshore Retreat with our family. The house was clean and beautiful and designed perfectly for our 3 generations. The lake was so peaceful and the kids even caught a few fish with their little fishing rod. Blue Ridge Rentals was perfect to work with. 10/10 would recommend!

We stayed at this beautiful home for a week in July. The descriptions and photos on line were spot on. When we walked in the front door we all gasped at the view of the lake out of the wall of windows. Bedrooms were lovely. Beds were very comfy. And oh! Those showers. Our master shower downstairs was so wonderful, we didn’t want to get out. My sons and grand daughter loved paddleboarding and fishing. Didn’t catch any large fish, but had a ball. We had a fire in the fireplace on the expansive back porch every evening and listened to the bullfrogs communicating with each other. We have rented other vacation homes from different companies. None of them compare to this.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home and would definitely recommend it. We comfortably fit 5 adults and 2 teenagers and we utilized every space the home had to offer.

An amazing house with very nice amenities. Lake view was very relaxing and enjoyable, especially with the outdoor fire place. The mountains were beautiful and the ride to Blowing Rock was easy 5 minute ride. The scenery on the 20 minute ride to Boone was absolutely spectacular!

Amazing time in Blowing Rock/Boone with family. The property was exactly what we were looking for...spacious, well-equipped, great location, quiet surroundings and beautiful views. We look forward to visiting again in the near future.

My family loved our stay in the NC mountains at this cabin. The place was stocked with everything we needed and is in a great location for family activities. We also enjoyed catching trout in the lake and would definitely go back!

The home was very nice - very clean and the perfect set up and number of rooms for us and our grown children. Beautiful neighborhood with great walking trails and the lake. It is in a good location close to Blowing Rock and the Parkway. We enjoyed our time there and hope to return again soon.

We had a great stay! The view of the lake was amazing from most of the house, and the floorplan worked great for our family. We liked having the big dining table, multiple living areas, outdoor fireplace, and easy access to the outdoor area and lake. The house was stocked with most kitchen ingredients, dishware, appliances, etc, as well as having tons of books, puzzles and games on both levels. There were lots of baby/younger kid supplies such as a high chair, pack and play, and plastic tableware. Everything felt brand new, which is extra nice for a rental property! There were lots of nice walking trails around the neighborhood, but we weren't sure what other amenities, such as kayaks, were included for renters (though it ended up being cooler weather anyway). One slight oddity we encountered was in the downstairs master bath, it would be helpful to have a blind or privacy screen on one of the windows as the view goes right to the toilet via the mirror! We also had a power outage due to wind gusts; it took a few calls and messages to be able to speak with someone on a Saturday afternoon, but they did call us back each time and it got fixed within a few hours. We had a great stay overall and would definitely stay here again!

This gorgeous property is located on a beautiful catch and release lake so close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s 12 minutes to Blowing Rock. Floor plan is perfect for a family or 2 with a primary suite on the main and second floor. Large open family room downstairs and bonus area upstairs for the kids and their legos! Kitchen has everything you need. Bring wood for the outdoor fireplace and enjoy your vaca!

We recently stayed at Lakeshore Retreat for a girl’s weekend and loved it. The house is beautiful as was the view of the lake and fall foliage. It had everything we needed to relax, and the outdoor fireplace was an extra treat.

Great location! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake shore retreat. Beautiful views daily and outdoor fireplace was a great way to end our days. The house was fully stocked and beds were comfortable. Loved how centrally located to Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn, and Hawksnest. Would definitely visit again.

This house was awesome! Very spacious with plenty of room for 2 families. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and I so appreciated the kids items (plates, cups, forks, spoons, etc). Decor and furniture was well done and outdoor space was so nice. We spent most of our time on the back porch by the fire. The beds are not super comfy but we didn’t care given everything else was so well done. I highly recommend this house!

This is a great property for an upscale family vacation. The house is very nice, especially the back deck with the fireplace. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need for making family meals. The view is fantastic, especially the sunrises. Get up early, it’s worth it. The area has a lot of great attractions within minutes. Use the Parkway to get into town. It is faster with less turns.

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your vacation! Please come back and enjoy the sunrises again! - BRMR

The property was fantastic, the home is new and extremely well furnished with all the comforts you can hope for. The lake and walking trail were terrific, multiple family walks and fishing took place, and it was easy to keep an eye on 10-12 year olds by the water. We loved the outdoor fireplace and rocking chairs on the large deck. The location is great, close to Blowing Rock and a short trip to Boone. We took day trips to Linville, Asheville, Grandfather Mountain and had a really pleasant experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. We stayed for a week and had so much fun. We had 4 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty to do and lots of space inside and outdoors for the kids. Wish we could’ve had fishing poles to fish in the lake. Also, one towel for each person wasn’t ideal. We ended up buying a few extra at the store. The house was close to all the attractions like skiing, tubing, gem mining, lots of hiking and horseback riding. We stayed busy and the kids had a blast. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would love to come back.

This mountain home that was decorated beautifully and the windows, decks and layout took advantage of the peaceful lake views. The home was spotless and we felt very comfortable with the cleaning protocol. In addition, it had one of the best stocked kitchens I have ever seen and the outside fireplace provided a nice treat at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing your home!

This was our second time renting a home in the Sweetgrass neighborhood and first time at Lakeshore Retreat (but hopefully not the last!) The home is gorgeous, with a perfect floor plan for a family and very well equipped kitchen, game room and more. As beautiful as the home is on the interior the exterior views are even more incredible. We enjoyed playing puzzles and games with our kids on the big kitchen island, reading and watching TV by the indoor gas fireplace and spent lots of time walking around the lake and exploring the trails in the neighborhood. Sweetgrass is super convenient to downtown Blowing Rock, Appalachian Mountain (where our kids went ice skating) and Hawksnest Snow Tubing, which is a must visit during the winter. Would highly recommend this wonderful home and look forward to coming back!

We stayed for a long weekend of skiing and tubing and this home did not disappoint. Plenty of room for our family and all the supplies we needed to cook at home and relax after long days out on the mountains. Property manager was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our questions. Will definitely stay again!

We spent the week of Christmas at Lakeshore Retreat and had an absolutely amazing time. The property was very clean and the instructions to arrive and check-in were crystal clear. We spent most of our week at the house given the pandemic, but getting to and from downtown Blowing Rock was fairly straightforward. We had a family of 5 plus 3 parents. Our children (ages 3, 5 and 7) had a great time in and outside of the property. All 8 of us were very comfortable and the sleeping arrangements were quite accommodating. The property seems fairly new and has been maintained very well. For anyone concerned about whether the kitchen had basic pots, pans, utensils, and other appliances, you will be pleasantly surprised. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked for a rental unit. We typically bring a basic set of popover pans, small appliances and baking dishes, but the home had all of these items and more. There was also a stand mixer available. While it was rather chilly, we managed to take a few walks across the trails that circle the lake. Alternatively, you could easily walk within the neighborhood if you wanted some longer distance. Kudos to the property owner for setting up a Christmas tree. While we were not expecting to have some holiday decorations, we and in particular the kids were thrilled to have a tree that not only lit up but played music as well! We were able to have two nights of fires using the outdoor fireplace before rain, snow and extremely cold weather settled in. The outdoor deck has a table and would make for a great dining experience during warmer months. For those concerned about getting snowed in or having to deal with ice during winter on the mountain, we did see several plows go through the neighborhood and Hwy 221 leading up to the property was fairly well maintained with plows and salt trucks. There is a snow shovel at the property that I ended up using to move snow off the paved driveway to ensure we could get to the primary road. All in all, we had a great experience over the Christmas break. The property listing is true to word and the pictures are accurate. We hope to return perhaps in the spring to enjoy a different season at this property. One last note about the rental company - Blue Ridge Rentals. I found their communication and response time to our questions incredibly fast and well informed. They certainly helped make our stay very enjoyable.

I took some family members and friends to celebrate a birthday and this home was perfect. The views are great, the home is perfect and the space was just right for 7 of us. Has nothing to do with the property, but a "quick grocery run" is a solid 40 min round trip so load up before you get there because you will not want to leave. This place is amazing. Stop looking and book it.
