A historically popular vacation destination,
Blowing Rock is home to many of the High
Country's most beloved attractions. Here I have
included information on some of the most
well-known; a trip to Blowing Rock is never
complete without a visit to some of these
exciting places. When you own buy
North Carolina Mountain Real Estate in and
around
Blowing
Rock then you can visit these wonderful
places anytime you like.
The Blowing Rock
The Blowing Rock is the oldest, continuously
open
NC
Attraction and the home of the rocky
outcropping for which the town is named. Today,
The Blowing Rock is a natural area where you can
look out over the observation deck across the
Johns River Gorge; the same gorge where,
according to Native American legends, a young
Indian brave tried to jump to his death after
being forbidden to see the young maiden he
loved. He plunged over the side, but the strange
and almost supernatural wind gusts that flow
over the rock brought him back up and over the
rock to where the young maiden waited. Kids and
adults love to visit this Blowing Rock
Attraction and explore the visitors center
nearby.
Hayes Performing Arts Center
The Hayes Performing Arts Center is a
magnificent auditorium where shows, plays and
other events take place in Blowing Rock. At
times, it has served as the home of the famed
Blowing Rock Stage Company.
Tweetsie Railroad
 Tweetsie
Railroad is a historic family theme park that
operates as a Western railroad town. Kids love
to ride the old train, which was the original
locomotive that carried people and cargo on the
East Tennessee and Western North Carolina
Railroad (ET&WNC) that traveled from our region
of NC all the way to Johnson City TN. Folks back
then would hear the train's whistle and
nicknamed it "Tweetsie," and as such, the theme
park is aptly named. A chair lift, as well as
numerous kids' and young adult rides entertain
the masses here.
Appalachian Ski Mtn
Appalachian Ski Mountain, Blowing Rock's only
ski resort, was the first ski resort to open in
the state of North Carolina and it is the home
of the premier ski school in the Carolina's the
French Swiss Ski School. Locals and visitors
alike flock to the resort's fabulous ski runs in
the winter to enjoy snow skiing and
snowboarding. Appalachian Ski Mountain also
features a nice outdoor ice skating rink as
well.
Mystery Hill
Mystery Hill is a peculiar place. Visit this
home just off of Hwy 321 and you will notice
quite a few things right away. Things most
certainly are never what they seem here. Gravity
seems to have been suspended, and the usual laws
of nature do not apply here. This is a fun place
for kids and adults and it is often educational.
Moses H. Cone Manor & Southern Highland
Craft Guild
Explore the trails and estate of the late Moses.
H Cone. Cone and his wife Bertha built a massive
mountain estate just off the
Blue Ridge
Parkway, and the home and its lands have
been masterfully preserved. The Southern
Highland Craft Guild's showroom and museum is
located here along with more than 20 miles of
hiking, biking and horseback riding trails.
Fishing is also permitted here in the numerous
streams and small ponds.
Westglow
 Westglow
Spa is probably the most luxurious spa
destination in Blowing Rock. Located in a
restored historic home listed on the National
Register, Westglow Spa & Salon is often a top
pick among ladies who want to be pampered for
the day. While there are many spas in and around
the town, Westglow Spa is the only Blowing Rock
Spa located on the enormous, historic property
that was built by artist Eliot Daingerfield.
