No room left at the Inn and no power, but pops was so kind to let us use the facilities and share pillows and blankets and feel safe sleeping in the truck in the parking lot overnight.

We Love this place and what a view of Grandfather Mountain from the balcony…read more We were recommended by friends of ours who owned a an Air BnB in Morganton area and we have been coming here for the last 4 years, wonderful things to do close by, great food, winery's, Snow if you plan it right or just cooler temps in the summer months. What we did not not like this visit is the Unit, itself is starting to show wear, I burned mysef on the fireplace control as the front panel is broken and flops around and got stuck in the fold up cover that hides the controls and of course while the fire was going. The walls need repainting. They say they will charge you if you do not clean the grill but when we got there it was filthy and we had to clean it to use it, then clean it again at check out. It had been snowing and there had been no attempt to clean or salt the stairs and landings. We had no gas to the unit and Eric, who is an old Navy Vet and very professional and friendly, got us hooked up so the fireplace I eventually burned myself on worked. So yes, I would recommend this place including the unit cause of where it is but keep your expectations a low and be pleasantly pleased. Escape to the Mountains

Let me start by saying the views and property are amazing. The landscaping was beautiful and we…read moreloved how well kept the grounds were. But I'm so glad we didn't make our first visit here in the winter. We would have never gotten up to the condo with how steep the roads were. Our condo was clean and well equipped but we won't return because it wasn't convenient to anything we enjoy doing. Also, as a Verizon customer we had no internet. That was unnerving. I think if you plan on cooking, have a 4x4 vehicle, and don't want to do much other than cook and enjoy the views in your condo, this is a great choice. But we are active with our kids and it was a chore to get on and off the property.

This is my favorite place in Blowing Rock. It started years ago when I was looking for a place to…read moretake my Mama for Christmas. Her health was sketchy so I asked each place I called if I could cancel last minute and be refunded. After many attempts and not much positive headway, I called Hemlock Inn and spoke to Donna, one of the owners. She said "come on and we will make the stay great for her". It was great, she had a wonderful time and told everyone it was the best vacation ever, even though we were only just a couple of counties away. She lived in North Wilkesboro. Mama died a year or so later and I decided to stay in Blowing Rock and not Wilkesboro. I stayed there almost 10 times while I settled her estate. Each trip was perfect. It's not the flashiest place in Blowing Rock, but it is a great example of what you get in the NC mountains.

We booked 2 nights for the 10th & 11th nothing major. I wrenched my back pretty bad before we were going had to cancel on the 7th. The owner told my wife no refund & that's OK I understand the cancelation policy but would not let us rebook for a later date. My wife has tried to contact the owner a couple of times & no response. Wanted to book locally but not again in Boone if this is the way they treat guests. So if you book there you better hope life doesn't show up outside of their cancelation policy. Mike Garcia

To say that the Mast Farm Inn was wonderful is simply not enough. From the time you step on…read moreproperty you are transported to another world. A world of yore filled with peace and comfort. The staff is immeasurably kind, the other folks staying in the house and cottages around you cannot help but share in this kindness. It's like going to a family reunion while also having peace and space to yourself. The rooms are the definition of comfort - and yes, tv's are nowhere to be found. It's a freeing feeling where you can just focus on those around you. Small radios are in each room and old radio stories on cd are available for your enjoyment during your stay. There's large clawfoot tubs large enough for two, and each item is delicately chosen to stay within the realm of an old farmhouse from long ago. There are treats and coffee available at all hours of the day and night, a delicious breakfast that is 2nd to none, and a social every day with meats, vegetables, and cheeses that is unlike anything you've had before. We decided to enjoy ours on the front porch in rocking chairs and I must say that it was one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole stay! The town around the Inn is stunningly charming. It feels like one should be walking or taking a wagon from the Inn, rather than driving, to the General Store or to Over Yonder restaurant which is just a short distance from the Inn. I cannot speak highly enough of this B&B. We will definitely be back and if you're considering staying, consider no longer. Reserve now!

The Meadowbrook Inn in Blowing Rock, NC was our first time staying there. It was walkable from the…read moreextensive shopping area on Main Street and the website seemed to present a good place to stay. We booked through Expedia and paid through them also. The Inn itself had about 62 rooms but could use a bit of upgrades, not in the rooms which were furnished nicely with the standard being two queen beds. Added to that was a desk as well as two comfortable chairs, close to the window. Nothing at all was in the slightest wrong with the furnishings of the room. The problem I had was that the Wi-Fi never, ever was usable other than one time about 3:30 in the morning when I happened to wake up and read on my Kindle at that outrageous hour. I communicated with the front desk a number of times, probably three times for the 3 days when we stayed there. When I checked out I told the General Manager who was running the front desk that they needed some extenders or something regarding their Wi-Fi but she informed me that they had them at either ends of the hallway on the second floor (where all rooms are located) and in the middle. I thought perhaps our room 204 being at the end of the hall that was the problem but obviously it was not. Also advertised on its website was that they had a bar in the lower level but it was not open or usable with the explanation being that they did not have enough people using it to keep it open other than for the special events which were booked at the Inn. The parking area had 4 spaces close to the front door, but the rest were on higher ground, requiring a bit of exercise to reach the Registration desk. The Wi-Fi and the not open bar are the reason for the deduction of one star, almost exclusively due to the Wi-Fi. In addition to the rooms, other good attributes was a large indoor swimming pool and a sumptuous breakfast, served buffet style from 7:30 AM to 10 AM. The breakfast dining area had outdoor seating which we used on one cooly comfortable morning. Added to the metal tables and chairs with a covering umbrella was the joy of a dozen ducks. TIP: Ask at the desk for bags of seeds to feed the ducks, adding to the joy of the exterior, raised patio above a smaller water feature.

Excellent inn, that is in a great location…read more It is great until the elevator maintenance is timely. When we stayed at the Meadowbrook Inn the visit was marred by the fact that two main elevators were out of service, making it quite difficult to move about the buildings. We were not made aware of the malfunctioning elevators before we arrived. Apparently, the elevator repair crew was two weeks late in arriving to repair the elevators that were out of service. We received no allowance in our rates charged during our visit or at check out I am handicapped and found this problem aggravating since there was no nearby parking for the handicapped guests.

We heard about the wonderful room, the great service and how it was a perfect getaway.They stayed in the "Turret Room" and by all accounts, it was one of the best getaways they have had. That was enough for me to give the Blowing Rock Victorian Inn at least 4 stars. I have to give it a 5 star rating because the service aspect went above and beyond. Because it was a gift, I had reserved the room on my credit card online. I wanted to make sure that my in-laws would not have any issue with check-in, so I gave the Victorian Inn a call. I spoke with Ted Henry, one of the owners. Ted made sure everything was copacetic, emailed me my receipt and even texted me once my in-laws arrived letting me know they were checked in. I expect this type of service from a Marriott (my usual hotel of choice), but to get the same type of personal, top-rate service from a small hotel in Blowing Rock, NC greatly impressed me. If you're looking to escape to the Blowing Rock or Boone areas of North Carolina, I would highly recommend booking your stay at the Blowing Rock Victorian Inn. I would hurry though...with this kind of service and wonderful accommodations, they'll be booked solid quickly.

Only feedback that is important to note, the walls are thin so if you're a light sleeper it could be tough with noises from rooms adjacent or noise in the hall.
