ABOUT SWEETGRASS
Within the neighborhood is Boone Fork Creek, which winds through the middle of Sweetgrass and has been designated as a North Carolina Outstanding Trout Stream. Just a little ways up the road at the heart of SweetGrass is the 22-acre lake fed by Boone Fork Creek! Bring your own canoes/kayaks and paddles to enjoy this beautiful lake!

Sweetgrass features beautiful mountain vistas, a lake and stream, and miles of pristine mountain trails which are perfect for hiking, riding, and biking. At Sweetgrass you'll find a mountain playground like no other. Here, each season brings with it something spectacular. The springtime is ablaze with wildflowers, the summers are filled with warm days and cool nights which are perfect for daytime outdoor adventures and evenings around the firepit, fall's foliage is absolutely stunning, and the snows of winter transform the area into a picturesque winter wonderland.

Each season is perfect for outdoor recreation, but there is much more to do here than simply enjoy the splendor of nature. There are also a variety of festivals, community events, upscale shops, and gourmet restaurants to enjoy in Blowing Rock. Combining the welcoming mountain living of Sweet Retreat, Sweetgrass, and Blowing Rock will enable you to enjoy a lifestyle that is unrivaled by that of any other High Country location.

Located just 2 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 12 minutes from Main Street Blowing Rock, 15 minutes from Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park and Appalachian Ski Resort, 20 minutes from Boone and Grandfather Mountain, 30 minutes to Hawksnest and Sugar Mountain, you may find that Sweet Retreat is your new favorite place to call home.

We have stayed in the Sweetgrass Community before and it is a wonderful location! The house was clean, lovely finishes. We would’ve liked better appliances, the refrigerator was very cheap feeling, no ice dispenser, broken lamp and the coffee maker was broken upon our arrival and a lack of mirror space. Would not stay at this house again, but the impeccable service of Blue Ridge Rentals is always worth returning!

one problem
First let me say that overall the stay was great. The property is beautiful and the location is perfect. That said, the only drawback Was that the living room couch had a lot of crumbs and pet hair under the cushions. This was a particular problem for us because my four-year-old grandson is allergic to dogs and developed some hives. Fortunately nothing serious but you might pass this on to your cleaners

Quick getaway
We arrived on a Friday evening left on Monday morning the house was great. Five bedrooms and 3 bathrooms the two downstairs rooms had a full bed on bottom and single bunk above. Our friends with small children thought the layout was great. They had everything you'd need for a quick getaway we explored blowing rock and boone which it's close to and went to ski beach was a fun time would definitely stay again thanks for having us.

Great trip
We had a great time at The Sweet Retreat!! Three families stayed in the house comfortably. Cons: The kitchen table only seats 4 even though the house sleeps 12. Only 1 towel is provided per guest even if you are staying for four nights. The exterior trash cans were completely full when we arrived. Only 1 bathroom on the main floor. The basement couch and some pillows are feather (we had people in our group with down allergies). Pros (these outweigh the cons!) Beautiful view The house is right next to a trail head to go explore the community The community is beautiful. We love sweetgrass although the last house we stayed in provided paddles so we could use the canoes. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas which made the trip even more special. The internet was out the first night when we arrived and maintenance helped immediately. Everyone was incredibly comfortable in their rooms. The fireplaces were amazing. We were even able to have firewood delivered to the house prior to our arrival which made it so easy! We had a wonderful trip! We would absolutely stay here again!!!
