Speakeasy toast
Sky F.

July 15-17th Moore wedding Arrived early to help bride get set up for her guests and was met with a smiling Julie, wedding coordinator. She was a complete joy to work with! She has been doing events there for so long that she was super helpful with ideas and ways to make everything run smooth. All I can say is TRUST JULIE!!! Let her do her thing while you enjoy family and friends and be amazed by her awesomeness of pulling everything off super smoothly. The rehearsal was perfect and while we settled into the rustic speakeasy below main lodge, she and our kids (age 5-14) set up the bonfire on beach for s'mores. The next day was the same.....seamless efforts from Julie and staff to get everything set up and perfect. She was there from the morning til after the reception was well underway. Her lovely daughter was the wedding photographer and she was so fun to work with too. I will defiantly recommend this beautiful place to anyone getting married or looking for a retreat from reality. This is a special place where you can get technology free and give your undivided attention to nature and family/friends. The owner and his daughter Kelsey were also great.

My daughter had her wedding at BMBR this past weekend and I can't sing their praises enough! Julie was as dream of a wedding coordinator. She had everything well in hand and the whole weekend ran more smoothly than I ever could have imagined. She was truly amazing. Then their was Ron! He was sort of our wedding hero. Despite the massive flooding and the erosion of the whole beach the week prior to the ceremony, Ron rebuilt or repaired the stone retaining wall and dragged the beach out of the water so my sweet baby girl could have her beach ceremony with the beautiful river as the backdrop. The cabins were great and the new yerts are incredible! It is easy to overlook just how much hard work and love is put into BMBR because it is just so perfect. I can't wait to go back...even if it's just to check up on Ron and Julie and sit for 5 minutes and soak in the scenery.

stink bugs

Attended a wedding here recently. The venue is beautiful and the food and reception were great. Biggest issue is that many of the cabins were infested with stink bugs and no matter how often you killed them, new ones replaced them within minutes. They were on the curtains, windows, bed, light fixtures, floor, etc. We had a 2 story cabin and it seems like the bugs liked upstairs so my wife slept on the couch downstairs and I slept on the floor. I made a makeshift mattress using the bedding from the main bedroom upstairs. Not too comfortable. Also had 3 wasps inside that I had to kill. Pretty creepy. I was told by another guest that the government recently released gazillions of the stink bugs in the area because they eat undesirable insects. I can't vouch for the veracity of this information, but the cabins are very old and not sealed or insulated so they were able to get in easily. Maybe it was just the time of year and you may never experience this issue but for us it was a real downer. The numerous ants we saw preferred our bathtub as their domain. Luckily, the weather was great so we spent as little time in the cabin as possible and we had so many loved ones on the premises that we were able to enjoy the festivities all weekend. Also, this cabin is advertised as having a sitting room where another person can sleep so it is like 2 bedrooms. No way. The sitting room is off the main bedroom and leads to the bathroom. It is also where you can hang your clothes. So if anyone wants to use the bathroom upstairs or access their hanging garments, they would walk right past where you are sleeping. And the "couch", if you can call it that, is really only big enough for a small child. No way an adult can utilize that space. Our cabin was the only one with limited wifi (downstairs only in the kitchen area) since we were near the main building. No cell coverage at all. We could use wifi calling if we were in that location only. I wondered what would one do in an emergency. One of the other guests said they were told there were landlines in the rooms where you could at least call other guests but several of us never found any phones. I don't mind rustic or quaint, but this was a bit much for us.

The Blowing Rock Manor - Lobby

The Blowing Rock Manor

(4 reviews)

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!…read more I can be pretty picky when it comes to lodging. The Manor at Blowing Rock checked all my boxes, and then some! I would define it as "Sophisticated Simplicity". I was staying here for a personal getaway and was assigned to a beautiful room with a separate sitting room, a gorgeous bathroom, and a zen bedroom. The decor was lovely, stylish and tasteful. The staff was professional and helpful. It was quiet and relaxing and only a short walk away from the town center, perfect location! There is a pretty little creek that winds along the back garden area, I really enjoyed sitting out and watching the ducks. I am torn between keeping this little gem all to myself, and sharing its amazingness with the world! I can't wait to come back.

PROS: -Generously…read moresized suite with soaking tub and large separate living room -Friendly downstairs host -No parking fee, easy elevator access -Within walking distance to downtown Blowing Rock -Room was meticulously clean upon arrival CONS: -Room did not have an iron -No outlets for phone chargers on either side of the bed, only phone charger was across the room behind the hotel phone -Floors were creaky despite it being a new build -The courtesy basket came with 2 muffins in plastic containers, 2 paper plates, and plastic utensils. With spending $400 a night we expected it a bit fancier. -Towels were gym-level quality. Horrible. Again, $400 a night. Gulp.

Checked into The Switzerland Inn early afternoon. It's winter season so most of the resorts…read moreactivities are closed for the season however we came for a quiet get away. The room overlooking the mountains in the main lodge is very nice. We stayed on the second floor and there is not an elevator so you carry your bag upstairs. Dinner was in the Pub in front of the Chalet Restaurant. Dinner was excellent. Chicken Piccata would have been the best I ever had however they do not serve it with pasta. Pasta in that amazing lemon sauce would have made the dish perfect. Salmon was also very good and try the sweet potato fries. They are so good. After dinner you can sit around the fire pit (complimentary blankets are available) under the most beautiful star filled sky. It's all very romantic, The Resort has a pool, outdoor bar, ice cream parlor, ping pong, horse shoes, and other activities. It's a great family place to stay and I look forward to returning in the Fall.

My visit to the Switzerland Inn was disappointing. I had been so looking forward to this stop and…read morethe views are breathtaking. I highly recommend stopping to take in the views but do not recommend dining here. Only the Terrace Dining was open the day I was there but you'd think that would bring great views. I was seated against the building and my view was of another building without turning my chair to the views. It was very slow there and there were plenty of open tables with amazing views. I had read about the prime rib plate and although pricey at $42 decided to go with what they were known for. When my food was brought out I was told that they were out of the prime rib plate and that I was brought out the prime rib sandwich instead. What? So if they were out of what I ordered why was I not informed earlier or asked what I would like to order instead? Then to bring another item with prime rib if they are out of prime rib doesn't make much sense. Then I overheard someone at another party ordering the prime rib plate and he was not told they were out of it. So what likely happened was the waitress put my order in wrong and instead of correcting it came up with the lie to try to cover up her mistake. She was also supposed to check on me to see if I liked it but never did. When I did see her again I told her it wasn't good then she said that she was happy I liked it. That is not what I said at all. What I was brought was disgusting. I'm not sure what was worse, the soggy bread, thin pot roast that was flavorless, covered with cheese and onions. And they charged $24 for that sandwich. My side of mashed potatoes were cold. I'm not sure if they forgot to reheat them. I will never dine at the Switzerland Inn again after the awful service and food. 6/30/25 Update: The weather was beautiful the day I visited. No rain or thunderstorms in the forecast. Solo diners are just given the tables in the back without the view which is disappointing that we are not valued. I do regret not leaving when the food I was presented with was not what I ordered. I should have walked away and gone somewhere else that respected me. This restaurant needs to hire better waitstaff or properly train them so that they can put orders in correctly and if a mistake is made, he or she corrects the mistake rather than lie about it. I do hope the restaurant can correct the issues with service as there is a lack of it and improve the quality and temperature of the food served.
