Blowing Rock, North Carolina is a great place for a second home!
The town of Blowing Rock dates from the last years of the nineteenth century and began as a resort destination, largely for those seeking cool relief from summer heat.
The town has a vibrant economy based in part on tourism. A small, quaint downtown area is characterized by numerous shops of varying types, a pleasant public park, and diverse restaurants. The mountainous terrain provides scenic views with long-range vistas from several locations around town, including the Blowing Rock itself.
The town's elevation of 3500-3600 feet above sea level results in a substantially cooler summer temperatures compared to nearby locations below it (typically in the 70s with cool nights), and chilly winters with frequent snowfalls from December through April.
