Welcome to the Lavender Loft at the Wanderer Guesthouse. The Lavender Loft is one of four unique private suites with access to a shared kitchen & living room, exactly like a bed & breakfast (breakfast included!). Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we're 5 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock and 10 minutes to downtown Boone. Minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, we're a launching point for your outdoor adventures. The space As you walk up the steps to the Lavender Loft, you’ll see your own private workspace on the balcony overlooking the common space. Entering your room you’ll find a queen bed nestled between windows. This space is airy, light, and scented by dried lavender hanging beneath the windows. The Lavender Loft is the only top-floor suite with a private bathroom attached. This loft also has its own coffee nook inside the closet, and comes equipped with coffee mugs and coffee. Guest access The shared spaces available to all guests include a fully equipped kitchen, large dining table, a living room and fireplace, TV, a co-working space equipped with two desk areas, and a reading nook full of windows. Other things to note Boone and Blowing Rock are the High Country’s hub for outdoor activities all year long. Choose between hiking, mountain biking, floating down the New River in inflatable tubes, berry picking, alpine roller-coaster riding, picnicking with wild ponies at Greyson Highlands, or cooling off in one of the many swimming holes and waterfalls in the area. During the winter, spend the day on one of the three ski slopes in the area (9 minutes from Appalachian Ski Mountain). Several wineries are tucked away in the mountains nearby, as well as breweries, shops, restaurants, and art galleries. No matter what you love to do or what season it is, you’ll find adventures to fill your days.
