Romantic Hotels in Blowing Rock, North Carolina

"This was our second stay at The Hemlock Inn. The rooms have a small refrigerator, a microwave, a full-size drip coffee maker, pottery coffee mugs, and real wine glasses. The location is perfect, as the Hemlock is just one building away from Main Street Blowing Rock, so it’s an easy walk to all the charming shops and many great restaurants in downtown, and very near the city park. We could hear the live music from nearby Town Tavern if outside in the evenings. The decor is rustic, and some might find it a little dated, but we don’t mind it. They have a big gazebo outside with a gas fire pit that feels nice on chilly evenings. It is a locally owned business with super friendly staff who will get you anything you need right away. Landscaping is lovely. My only suggestions would be that a little extra shelf space in bathroom would be useful, and a place to stash all the throw pillows on the bed at night would be helpful. There was not a closet, but there was a hanging rod which was plenty long enough for all our clothes for a three-night stay, and I brought lots of extra clothes because we hiked in the mornings, and mountain weather is always unpredictable. They provide shampoo, conditioner, soaps, paper towels, hair dryer. They provide coffee, too, but we brought our own. I think it’s a great value for the price for such good service and a prime location. Not having to find a parking space is Blowing Rock is a major plus! Would definitely stay here again. "

"Superb breakfast provided... one of the best we've experienced. But why the staff decided to paint not only the front entrance but also the rear during the busiest time of day, we simply don't understand!"

"Kristi at the front desk was wonderful. Extremely helpful, and we enjoyed talking with her each day of our stay."
