Good location, clean rooms, the only thing is a little old, but otherwise no complaints, it is quiet and you don't hear any noise, it is a little expensive considering the rooms.

Lovely quaint hotel only a few blocks from the Main Street of Blowing Rock. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities are great. We loved staying here plus it is pet friendly so we were able to bring our Great Pyrenees dog with us. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well. We will definitely stay here again.

Love how little it is. Makes it more private. They use old fashion keys instead of cards and I love that so so much lol! Would definitely recommend to stay here again if only we weren’t moving back to California!

Great property. Very walkable to all restaurants and shops. Stayed in the Tarheel Suite. Its was clean and nicely decorated. Only complaint is below us woke us up in the morning with slamming doors and talking loud. Not sure if its a common area or maybe cleaning. Other than that its a nice place to stay and we will be back with our pup.
