5.00We surprised a sister on her (65th) birthday with a carriage ride and she said it was the best birthday ever! Chad is so awesome, knowledgeable, funny, patient, and his love for this beautiful property is contagious. He took all of the pics we asked him to, and even suggested a few more shots. The carriage was gorgeous, clean, comfortable. Chad had steps to make it easier to get in and out of the carriage, and our group of 6 older people had no trouble with that. Most of the ride is in the shade, and the trails are mellow with hardly any bumps. We were able to spend about 30 minutes looking around the mansion and stretch our legs. The mansion has a gift shop, so bring your wallet if you might like some souvenirs. Chad even suggested a GREAT restaurant after getting to know us for a couple hours, not far away (Dan'l Boone Inn in Boone) and he was right. That was the perfect ending to such a fun day! Absolutely recommend!!
Fun Carrriage Ride in Blowing Rock!

5.00Highly recommend! Chad is a great story teller and he made the ride fun and interesting. It was worth the money. I heard from the locals that he is good to his horses and respectful to the dog walkers on the carriage trails. I would do this again.
