A lovely hidden spot in the heart of Blowing Rock. You are steps away from everything in Blowing Rock but a quite retreat when you want to escape and recharge. The outdoor amenities are excellent, and the indoor area is very comfortable.
I always enjoy my stay at this location. Everything was provided that I needed. Iâve stayed on this property several times, itâs fenced in and just a block from Main Street.
Karen does a beautiful job with her properties. They are well appointed and she is meticulous with cleanliness. I highly recommend any of her properties for visits to Blowing Rock.
Beautiful accomodations with all the extra thoughtful touches. Loved the courtyard area that gives you a private outdoor space, and the hot tub is a nice bonus! Just has everything to make a getaway a wonderful experience! We have stayed in four Diamond properties and you just cant go wrong with any of them!
Spent a first weekend away with a special friend and it was amazing. Check in process was super simple and even allowed to get in earlier than expected which got our weekend started even better than expected. Host was super nice and openly communicated with any questions I had. Couldnât ask for better experience and will definitely look to use Diamond properties anytime I go back to Blowing Rock!!
We had a great stay in Blowing Rock at Two Steps Down. The unit is immaculately clean, with great decor, comfortable furnishings, and one of the most well equiped rentals I have ever seen. Everything was there for us to cook when we wanted to and great restaurants and shops are just outside the door. It included a parking spot and we never got back in the car until time to go home. Will definitely go back there again!
The place was wonderful. Very cozy & cute. Location is so nice & walkable to the cutest parts of downtown Blowing Rock. Our only issue was that the listing doesnât make it clear that the unit is a basement unit, below another VRBO. It is also listed as a private hot tub, but it is also advertised to the unit upstairs, so they were using it as well.
This property was exceptional in every way. Check-in ,location,decor, amenities. Everything was top notch for comfort and I am extremely particular about cleanliness and this property was well above 5 star.Especially in light of the situation with Covid , you could tell the owner paid special attention to details. We visit Blowing Rock frequently and this was the first stay here and hope to make it our go to place.
The location is great, only 1 - 2 blocks up to the shops and main street. The unit is newly remodeled and has a nice patio, fenced yard, and hot tub. All furnishings are new., with a nice gas fireplace inside and a well-appointed kitchen. There is some noise from the upper unit but mostly footsteps. Overall, very comfortable, and in a great location.
Loved! Loved! Loved! The place! Great location, completely updated, fenced yard for my small dog (people staying above me shared the fenced area) and fully supplied. My only complaint is the noice from the tenants upstairs. They woke me up a couple times overnight (bathroom use, walking about, shutting doors, 2 and 3am etc) and couldnât get back to sleep. I donât know that I would rent this again if I know people are upstairs. Otherwise - it checked all the boxes.
The listing didn't say that this rental was located in a lower level with another rental above which resulted in a lot of noise from the occupants. Also, it didn't say that there was no direct access to the unit and that you had to pass through a yard occupied by other renters.
When we arrived on Monday, we found a note on the toilet seat saying not to use it until Tuesday! Obviously, this was unacceptable. We called the owner but she didn't pick up so we left a voicemail message and checked out. We were not prepared to stay under those conditions. About an hour later, the owner called back to apologize and say that we would get a full refund, which we eventually did some days later.
This place was perfect for my wife, our dog, and me. The fenced in yard and great location. Right on Sunset Dr, right downtown. The interior was tastefully decorated, very clean, and as advertised. Fairly new appliances and everything was in top working order. We would stay here again on our next visit to Blowing Rock.
Even though this was a pet friendly property, you would never have known. It was super clean and well maintained. It was also well stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, and cleaners (convenient for any unexpected messes), as well as plenty of towels. It had everything we could possible need. We were really impressed with the attention to detail. For example, the property provided pet food/water bowls which youâll sometimes see in vacation rentals but not always, but they also had a little dog shampoo/towel kit. Perfect and thoughtful if weâve been out in the rain or a hike. Weâll definitely be booking this property again.
We loved the property. It was spotless and had everything we needed. We brought our dog and it was great having a gated patio and fenced in yard. In the middle of town so you never need to worry about parking.
This was the perfect place to stay in Blowing Rock! It is an easy stroll to Main Street and all the wonderful restaurants. The place is wonderfully appointed and has everything you need. There was a bit of morning footstep noise from the upstairs tenants, but otherwise, our stay was flawless. We highly recommend it :-).
Two Steps Down is a perfect property for a mountain getaway for 2 people. Thereâs adequate space for 2 adults. The space is nicely upfitted and very clean. The hot tub is an added bonus and is very private in location. Since the unit is below another unit, some noice is audible from upstairs occupants (you can hear footsteps) but weâve not found it to be a huge issue and it has never impeded sleep.
Iâm a financial advisor with Wells Fargo in Chapel Hill. I began buying and renovating these properties in early 2000 and love being creative and providing beautiful, comfortable and CLEAN vacation rentals for visitors to Blowing Rock.
