"The best part of the hotel is that it sits on the side of a VERY steep hillside so every room seems to have private unobstructed views of the mountains."

“What this Inn lacks in modern polish, it more than compensates for with its stellar hospitality and prime location overlooking Blowing Rock. The spacious rooms-especially those in the separate building-offer mountain views, while the proximity to Route 321 balances convenience and quiet. For travelers prioritizing character and access over pristine facilities, it represents a savvy, hospitable choice.”
