Yes — RV, boat, and vehicle storage is a Northstar specialty. We have dedicated outdoor parking pads sized for boats, RVs, jet skis, trailers, motorcycles, and vehicles. The parking layout is built to handle large vehicles well.
Yes — we work with contractors, tradespeople, landscapers, and small businesses needing contractor garage and flex space. The larger units work well as a small commercial bay at a fraction of typical lease costs.
We require a disc lock — padlocks aren't accepted because they're easier to cut. For your convenience, a quality disc lock is already placed in your unit and available for $15. If you'd prefer to use a disc lock you already own — or buy your own at Lowe's, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Walmart, or Tractor Supply — just return the unit's lock to our lock dropbox. You're the only one with the key — we don't keep copies.
You can reserve and rent a unit online from anywhere before you arrive, get the gate code in advance, and pull straight in when your moving truck shows up. Month-to-month means you keep the unit as long as you need.
Rent is due on the first of each month. You'll get reminder messages by email and text if a payment is missed. Late fees apply per our rental agreement. If a unit becomes delinquent for an extended period, North Carolina self-storage law allows the facility to auction the contents — we work hard to reach customers before that. Call us anytime if you're in a tough month.
Yes. Northstar Self Storage is locally owned and operated. When you call (828) 754-6550, you reach a local team member — not a national call center.
Both. We offer standard drive-up self storage units in a full range of sizes alongside dedicated outdoor parking for RVs, boats, jet skis, trailers, motorcycles, and other vehicles. The vehicle storage focus is part of our heritage — we have the parking layout to handle large vehicles well.
For RVs, boats, jet skis, and vehicles — yes, Northstar is the closest practical option to Blowing Rock (28605). Storage in Blowing Rock itself is extremely limited and expensive; Northstar at 636 Nuway Circle is about 25 minutes down US-321, with the parking layout to handle large vehicles well. If you need climate-controlled storage for valuables instead, see Five Star Self Storage just down the road — same ownership.
