Blowing Rock Cabins & Vacation Rentals
A High Country village on the Blue Ridge Parkway, with the Parkway's best parks a few minutes in either direction.
Blowing Rock is a small village that sits right on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is most of its appeal. Main Street is compact and walkable, and two of the Parkway's finest parks are within a few minutes' drive.
It works as a base for a hiking trip, a leaf season weekend, or a family week with Tweetsie Railroad down the road.
