"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."

“This inn strikes me as a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the Blowing Rock area. Its location, perched above Route 321, offers both easy access and a sense of quiet, while some rooms feature balconies with mountain views. I see it as a practical choice, especially for those planning outdoor activities.”

The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. There are two sink areas: one in the bathroom and one outside. Very convenient!
