a lot for the money.

The design of the buildings shows an earlier time. However the grounds, outside and interior are all first class and up to date. The bed was very comfortable. There were two sitting chairs and one desk chair. All very comfortable. Probably best motel shower I have experienced in a while. Location could not be better as you could walk the entire area of Blowing Rock.

The location is great & vintage aspect is cool. Staff was very helpful, when I finally found someone, as nobody was onsite for anything- had to go offsite to check in. Carpet was so disgusting, I never went without shoes & front door didn't shut properly, leaving big gaps & had no deadbolt or other lock. Other cleanliness in room was good & bed was comfy.

Overpriced and not comfortable at all.

The internet was out as was the TV. There was only decaf coffee or flavored coffee. Check in was not at the hotel but at another hotel and it was pouring rain. The mattress was awful and the place is way overpriced for what it is and they know it.

Awesome Stay.. Easy walk to Downtown

This place was Awesome! Very clean and we could easily walk to downtown. Everyone was very friendly. Our first time to Blowing Rock and hopefully many more! The scenery is breathtaking! The town of Blowing rock is beautiful! .❤️ We went to Blowing Rock to escape the heat here in Tennessee. It was around 78 degrees compared to 98 degrees here. I would definitely recommend this motel and Blowing Rock! Is a wonderful town with many great restaurants and shops.

After reading the reviews, I wanted to like this property. I know a lot of these little mountain inns can be a bit rustic and that is part of the charm. However, I would not come back and stay here. Our room was very dated with dark purple walls and then lavender in the bathroom. The dark purple showed every bit of dust on the walls and there was a lot of it. The lampshades were also very dusty. The carpet was stained. There was a food stain on our floral comforter that made me think it had not been washed. The wifi did not work. I tried to call the office and the phone rang and rang (during business hours). I called the sister partner across the street and left a voicemail. No one called me back, even after 24 hours of waiting. The water pressure was nice and the bathroom was clean, but other than that, the walkability was the only positive.
