Everything was good except the tub drained so slowly. It needs to be fixed. But the beds and bed linens were very comfy. Excellent location within walking distance to everything in town. And nice that we could bring our dog.

The room was nice and clean. It was on the older side but had everything we needed. It was a little challenge getting the heat setting where we like it but overall nicely comfy room and great night in BR.

Cute, clean, quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. Great location, great price. Would totally stay here again. FYI- it is a motel-type inn where the doors open to the outside, but there are cute rocking chairs right outside the door and it’s in downtown Blowing Rock which is quaint and walkable.

Attractive property from the exterior, but showing its age inside. Clean and well kept. But baseboard radiant electric heat, ancient air conditioner unit mounted in wall.
