We especially appreciated the friendliness and genuine care and consideration of the staff and property owner. The unit was roomy, nicely decorated and very clean. My sister and I arrived after hours, and everything was prepared for us when we got there. Darren, the property owner, turn on the heat, left the lights and TV on for us, and put ice on the room. He had left "real keys" at the office, a long with our paperwork. There is ample parking at each level. The only thing with room for improvement, were the bathroom facilities. The Cliff Dwellers Inn is a landmark that has been around for many years. I feel that is was a great value for the area. The views are amazing on a warm sunny day. Shoppes on the Parkway is across the road. Thank you, Darren, for extending local charm and hospitality to your guests! Mona McGrew, Dandridge TN.

The room was dated. When I walked into the room all the adjoining room doors were open on the hole floor. The office didn’t open until 9am. There was an ice bucket but I couldn’t even find the ice machine. There was no sign. Parking lot was very tight for my Ram pickup.

The room was huge but the shower was moldy and didn't drain properly. The fan didnt work, was missing a blade. There was a lot of dust on the ceiling and the musty room smell was strong. I booked for the view but the other issues didnt make it worth it.

PROS: I really liked the location of the property. It is placed in a convenient place close to everything I needed. The staff that checked me in was professional and friendly. Parking was easy, and the room was surprisingly large with a great view. Overall I felt very safe in the property. CONS: I couldn’t sleep because the dust and mold in the room. It was unbarring. I constantly needed to step outside for fresh air. The bathroom had mold in the curtain and everywhere. The shower head was very uncomfortable, spilling water all over. I couldn’t use my phone or the TV at all because the WI-FI didn’t work. That and the mold were the most frustrating things. The pillows were very uncomfortable too. I can see that if the mold would be taken care of, and maybe some minor remodeling, this inn would be popping. It was OK for a one night stay, but I won’t see my self returning.

Darren was extremely helpful getting us checked in and he also brought as a bag of ice before we could even get settled in the room. The bathroom aesthetic was a little outdated, but it was clean and the shower pressure/temperature was fantastic! One of the best showers I’ve had in a hotel. It‘s just as advertised online— a quaint, clean, and comfortable hotel for an affordable price. Would definitely stay there again when back in Blowing Rock again!

Eh, needs work but decent
Room was decent. The beds are super uncomfortable and the heat couldn’t make up its mind what to do so we ended up not sleeping most of the night. Very outdated - but the shower has AMAZING pressure so that’s a plus.

Bad Customer Service
The room was above average though dated. Was supposed to have breakfast but only thing they offered was bad coffee and honey buns. I was not very satisfied. The ice machine is usually locked in a back room and usually unexcessible. Virtually unable to get someone for questions because office is locked and no one on premises. Will not stay again.

When trying to call to let the owners know our arrival time, we didn't get an answer and couldn't leave a message since the voicemail was full. When we arrived, there was nobody at the front desk. We walked into the dining area (which is closed but looked like it was being used for personal space by the owners and their family) and heard someone talking on the phone. We yelled "hello" a couple of times until a young man finally came up to the front desk. He was apologetic for not hearing us. We informed him of the full voicemail and he stated he gets so many calls. He checked us in and showed us where our room was located. When we checked out, the office didn't open until 9:00am and we had to leave early. There were no instructions for early check-out and where to leave the room keys so we left them in the mailbox. All in all it was a bed, hot shower and a roof over our head. It's neat being on the cliff and it wasn't busy at all. Don't book through a third-party, use the hotel website to make a reservation.

The heater was broken and made a super Loud noise but couldn’t be fixed. The staff tried but wasn’t able to after a few minutes (as they were not real repair people) and we were not moved to another room. This caused us two sleepless nights as it woke us up every time the heater turned on and made the loud rattling noise. The room was OK clean. That didn’t bother us as much but is noteworthy.

Disappointing Trip
The first disappointment was that they would not work with us even with an unexpected Covid situation. Cancellation policy is 7 days and I completely get that, but we got Covid. We were still at the end of our quarantine, but we went bc I wasn't going to waste the money. Upon arrival my husband had to help me get to the door because there was no path made through the ice and snow. The young lady at check-in was not the friendliest. I asked about late check-out because it was snowing and I wanted to make sure we could get out and thinking a later time would allow for a bit of sun on the ice. Not an option. When we went to park we had to try 3 times to get up the hill bc of the ice. The parking lot had not been salted or scrapped it didn't seem. The bath tub was old, cracked, and had a leak. Beds were comfy. Tv didn't work well. Luckily the heat did as temps were below teens. Breakfast was supposed to be available according to their site, but my husband said there was a sign saying no breakfast due to Covid. It was just a frustrating trip that we had to take while sick because we couldn't cancel.
The road in and out. Pretty icy.
The ice and snow we had to cross to get to check-in

The pictures posted online are NOT up to date. They look nothing like the real thing. My shower curtain had mold, the bath tub was not clean, and there was rust on almost everything. It was extremely outdated and nothing like the pictures. Very disappointing to show up and nothing be what you thought. Very wrong
