10. Cozy condo with a patio

A flume created by the rock walls creates the wind that brings back up stuff you throw down Blowing Rock cliff. It doesn’t make the phenomenon any less dumbfounding. Ask the host of this charming and well-stocked Airbnb condo if you’re allowed to throw a hat to see if it will come back up. A two-bedroom condominium located in downtown Blowing Rock has a full kitchen. No hotel accommodation in the area allows cooking. This place even has a patio for winding down after a busy day of sightseeing.
