Blissful Vista

Always a peak experience

We always enjoy staying at Blissful Vista and are looking forward to returning! It is our go to in Blowing Rock. Thank you for your beautiful home and awesome views!!!

This was our fifth visit to Blissful Vista and it never disappoints. Every visit is different due to the changing cloud formations and variable weather. However, the mountains are constant. Their peace and serenity comforts and inspires. No matter what's going on in our nation or world, the timelessness of the mountains provides hope. The views from anywhere on the property are spectacular no matter the time of day or type of weather or season. The interior of the beautiful home is relaxing, yet manageable for meals, visiting with others, or just day dreaming. I cannot think of a reason to consider another property when traveling to the Blowing Rock area.

We have rented Blissful Vista several times because of the amenities, spectacular view, private location, and too many more reasons to list. We'll be back!

We have rented many homes in the High Country for our family. This was our favorite!! Close to Blowing Rock, spectacular views, a level driveway, and it felt like a home (not a rental).

Gourmet kitchen, fireplaces upstairs and downstairs ,
comfortable beds, sofas, chairs, dining room with table
that seats 8 and unobstructed views across multiple
Mountain ranges from all windows and porches combine
For a perfect vacation experience!

We have now rented Blissful Vista for the sixth time. We plan to keep coming back to the peaceful end of the road house with the great view and can't wait until next year.

We had a good week. PROs- The location is very private and secluded but easily accessible which was really nice. I had concern for my grandchildren being outside because of the drop off but it was ok. They were just never allowed outside unsupervised. They loved the big sunken tub. We loved the covered porch area upstairs for dining with a breeze. The house was clean. The view is amazing. The Jenkins team was good. CONS- We definitely missed having air conditioning in the afternoons especially. Too much stuff in the kitchen. There was no place to store groceries. All cabinets are full of things- most things we never used. So the counters had to be loaded down, giving us no prep space. There's nowhere to keep trash outdoors before having to drive it several miles to the dump and that was all a hassle. There's no screen door on the front door which would be great for cross ventilation on the hot days. The biggest thing was that it's listed as 4 bedrooms. It is not. There are three bedrooms and a den with a door and a sleeper couch. But there's a coffee table in there that is so big it has to be moved somewhere out of the room in order for the couch to even open. So if you are expecting 4 bedrooms and two living spaces (one up and one down as shown in the pictures), please be aware. That is not the case. This proved a very big issue for us.

We have been visiting Blowing Rock for 23 years with our family. Through the years we have owned our own homes in Blowing Rock but have also rented. Blissful Vista is our absolute favorite! We have been here twice and are looking forward to another visit. The best views, a clean and welcoming home very well maintained. Love the grounds, love the gazebo, love the views and spending time on the deck enjoying being closer to Heaven. The layout of the home is perfect for families. Our property manager was great also. We also love the location on 221. We would recommend this home and Jenkins Rentals to anyone wanting to stay in Blowing Rock. Enjoyed Linville Falls, great hiking, and Linville Winery. Always enjoy the town of Blowing Rock. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had a wonderful experience at Blissful Vista. It was perfect for our family and exactly what we needed. Our only concern as others have stated is that it was quite warm and humid without any AC to dry out the home. The internet was a huge issue since we both needed to work, but we were able to adjust and it was still worth this amazing home and beautiful location. Thank you, thank you thank you!

My family‘s been renting properties up in blowing rock for the last 25 years... And for us it’s all about the view. This home was perfect for just my wife and I... As well as having guests come stay for a day or two. The house is fully stocked and comes with everything we needed. Jenkins does an excellent job of property management, and was extremely responsive to any issues.
The house has no A/C but that was fine as we brought our own portable A/C unit.
As a business owner I will say the Internet is intermittent at best... But one doesnt go to the mountains to be online lol. In summary, an absolutely splendid property with amazing views!

This home was just fantastic. My husband and I came here for a three day anniversary trip. The view from inside the home is fantastic due to the wall of windows. The decks are great. It also has a cooks dream of a kitchen. We will come back for sure.

Absolutely splendid Property which was perfect for my wife and I.
For us blowing rock is strictly for the views and nothing can compare to the backside of the gorge from this house.
Wonderfully personal touches throughout the house from the owner considering it’s a rental property.
There was only one downside to our stay. As a business owner had to stay in touch with the company, and the Internet was not working correctly at all.
We have service for five minutes and then it would go off-line and we could not find the router. (Locked up?) to reset it or have the property management company resolve it.

An ideal getaway providing 180 degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountain. The comfort and convenience is second to none and it is our happy place to get off the grid for one week every year. I cannot recommend it more highly.

Great location with fantastic views. House was very comfortable and everything was in great shape. Did not have A/C, but I didn’t check in advance and attic fan worked well. Only real complaint is that there were no curtains in queen guest room. Guests had hard time sleeping late. Jenkins Realty was a pleasure to deal with.

Everything we were looking for.

My family has rented houses several times in the Blowing Rock area and this house, by far, is the one everyone liked the most. The views are spectacular, the house is roomy, the kitchen well stocked with plates, pans, implements for cooking etc. It was clean and really beautiful. We will be back!

The whole process beginning to end was so easy. Staring a mini-vacation like this should be the norm. Every interaction from Jenkins Rental was so kind and helpful. Because of their professionalism and top notch treatment of their guests Im going to rent properties from them again. I trust them because of their great care of their business and properties they handle. The cabin very clean and well maintained - I was so pleased.

This was our second time at Blissful Vista. The view is fantastic and we plan to come back again next year!
By far our favorite place in Blowing Rock.

We had an awesome time at Blissful Vista. It was a great place.

The hummingbirds were amazing.

We enjoyed our stay so much that we've already reserved Blissful Vista for next summer.

The house is very well appointed and laid out well. The view is great. The only things that were at all not perfect were the trail to the house which is too tight and a blind in the kids room. The fan in the bedroom needs to be tightened. We are going again next year.

We have been coming to Blowing Rock for 2 years in a row for New Years!! Were delighted within our short stay at Blissful Vista. (Just (9) nine days) but went all the family is having so much fun days just fly away fast and they become pleasant reminiscences The view is far-fetched, just plain gorgeous. The stunning sunrise, birds singing, the fresh air, in touch with nature, just enjoying each others company, bonding more as family playing boards games, cards games and building puzzles. Beyond price Just the hole house set up was wonderful, but the kitchen set up and cabinets were just right, it had all the needs for a chef. We want to thank the owner for his outstanding accommodation and Jenkins Rentals for their superb services.

This house was very nice and worked well for our weekend needs. The views were incredible and it was conveniently located for area attractions. The kitchen was well equipped and the decks were wonderful! Please note if TV matters to you, there was no TV in the main living area upstairs. One in up bedroom but not cable. Lower big tv with sat was in very small room. Ideal for four adults and a few children. The beds were great but pull out couch was not good! There are no blinds on any of the lower bedroom windows which are not needed for privacy but you can definitely wake up to great views at early sunrise! Not too good for young children having to nap during the day. Lastly please note only one entrance in and out was front door. Safety concern.

We loved the home and the views. Everything was in very nice condition. Our only comment was regarding TVs. We traveled with 4 children and 4 adults. 1 tv during our downtown time was difficult. I'd suggest adding 1-2 more tv's to accomodate the needs of families who travel with small children.While we are out doing activities during the day, we would have appreciated a little more privacy for children and adults to wind down and watch movies or sports. Thanks.
