Beautiful view & a wonderful stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Grandfather's Porch. The layout of the home was very nice and worked well for our family. The house had plenty for our kids to do (hot tub, air hockey, games, etc) and the accommodations were nice. The drive in was a one lane gravel road for about a mile (a little tricky when meeting up with other vehicles which only happened a few times) and the home was super convenient to the town of Blowing Rock. The house provided such wonderful views and we loved seeing all the stars at night! The property mgmt company was good to work with throughout the process.
