Welcome to Happy Apple!
Happy Apple is a charming, historic, 3BR farmhouse cottage that has been completely renovated and updated to meet the demands of even the most discerning guests! Even so, the property is arguably its greatest asset, as it sits on over 6 acres just a few miles outside of downtown Blowing Rock, with crisscrossing creeks and streams, footbridges, walking paths, a creekside fire pit, two picnic areas with charcoal grills, a gazebo, a small playhouse, and a huge grassy meadow that’s perfect for children and dogs to run and play safely! There is a small playhouse on the property next to the main house that children will enjoy. The well-known Bolick Pottery property borders Happy Apple. Bolick Pottery has numerous social events throughout the spring, summer, and fall, where they invite the public to tour the workshop, purchase special pieces from their gift shop, meet the potters and the Bolick family, as well as live music on certain weekends!
The house itself is a charming two-story home that has been completely renovated and updated with hardwood floors and large rooms throughout! The main level is open with high ceilings, spacious living and dining areas, and a nice kitchen with Granite counters and stainless appliances. The open concept offers numerous areas to sit, relax, gather, play games, and watch TV on the HD Smart TV. There is a laundry room with a washer and a dryer, and a half bathroom on the main level as well. The front porch is covered with plenty of room to relax in rocking chairs and look out over the meadow, fire pit, gazebo, creeks, and streams.
