Thoughtfully designed for gathering, relaxing, and making memories, The Dala House is a place we love sharing with others. Nestled among the trees on Misty Mountain, The Dala House is a Scandinavian-inspired retreat just minutes from downtown Blowing Rock. Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and furnished with carefully collected vintage pieces, it's a home we've loved creating—and one we're delighted to share with our guests.

Filled with warm natural textures, inviting gathering spaces, and timeless mountain style, The Dala House reflects a love of thoughtful design and carefully collected vintage furnishings, creating a home that feels welcoming, comfortable, and easy to settle into.

Whether you're hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway, skiing Appalachian Ski Mountain, exploring downtown shops, or curling up by the fireplace with a good book, The Dala House was designed to feel like home in every season.

About the Owner

We're Ed and Stephanie, and we're mountain people at heart. The High Country has always been our place to relax, recharge, and reconnect—a place where life slows down and we breathe a little easier. We both grew up vacationing in the North Carolina mountains, and Stephanie later attended college in nearby Boone. When the opportunity came to own a little piece of the High Country, it truly felt like a dream come true. The Dala House reflects Stephanie's Swedish heritage, with Scandinavian-inspired design and thoughtfully collected vintage furnishings that create a warm, welcoming, and peaceful retreat. We've poured our hearts into renovating and decorating this home, hoping every guest feels as comfortable here as we do. As longtime Superhosts, we believe the little details matter. You can expect thoughtful hospitality, attentive communication, and the warm Southern welcome we'd want to receive ourselves. We're truly delighted to share The Dala House with you and hope it becomes part of your favorite Blowing Rock memories. Warmly, Stephanie and Ed
