We booked in advance over the phone. Check in and out were both super easy. The office has movies and books (even for kids) that you can borrow. They also have coffee, water, and ice available at all times. The room was very small-- two beds, bathroom, mini fridge, desk, and tv-- but that was okay since we didn't really spend any time other than sleeping and showering there. Someone came and emptied our trash, made our beds, and gave us fresh towels every day. Everything seemed nice and clean, zero complaints. Outside they have other little cabins and a fire pit with multiple chairs and maybe one picnic table. Really cute, well kept area! There were also several benches outside of the rooms where guest can sit and enjoy the weather, talk to each other, play music, etc. We frequently saw a lady outside her cabin painting the garden scenery. Blowing Rock seems to gather an older crowd, so being in our 20s and heavily tattooed, you get some looks. However, the staff at the inn was very friendly and enjoyed talking to our infant daughter. Not sure when we'd be back to visit, but I'd stay here again!

I was there with a few friends and we made a full day of the spa experience which really makes getting a treatment a great value because you get to enjoy the spa for the whole day. We started off with a workout in the gym and then changed into the soft and plush spa robes to soak up the mountain views in the relaxation room. The relaxation room is amazing - two stories high with bunches of couches and loungers and a fireplace surrounded by a wall of windows over looking the mountains. Oh and there are teas and fruit and magazines and seriously, it is heaven in there. I had a spa facial and even upgraded to include a paraffin wax mask. I've had a number of facials over the years and this was an excellent experience. After the treatments, we had lunch ($20 and worth every penny). Lunch included four small but delicious and beautifully presented courses. Note - you need to reserve lunch ahead of time. After lunch, we changed into bathing suits and relaxed in the heated pool and hot tub until it was getting time to go. Last but definitely not least was a scented shower with everything you need (and more) provided, including some wonderful salt scrub.

It was extremely unprofessional. I'm very surprised at the lack of warmth and customer service, especially since there are so many other fantastic resorts, spas and venues in the area, like Chetola, Eseeola, and the Inn at Crestwood as competition.

CHETOLA RESORT, BLOWING ROCK: THE GOOD, BAD & UGLY…read more So many difficulties with these people including the front desk staff & manager. 1. First, let me state that CHETOLA, on the outside exterior, is a beautiful place, landscaping, manicured grounds, small lake; just a special place. Really nice appearance. Then, you go inside: 2. After check-in, front desk staff immediately overcharged my AMEX by $1,132.38 for a 3-night stay, even after I had paid a deposit of ~$400 weeks before. This overcharge in itself was as much as my initial 3-night room stay as quoted by CHETOLA. This made my nightly room cost almost $800/night for a standard 2 Bdrm hotel room. So, I spent almost an hour the next day showing them how absurd and stupid that charge was. Finally, she admitted their mistake and, of course, blamed it on the "System" instead of herself. A Credit was finally issued. So, I waste an hour of vacation time being harassed by CHETOLA RESORT as to my final room charge. 3. Then, the 1st night my wife is showering in 3"-4" of waste bath water because the drain backs up. And, of course I face the same filthy waste water when I shower the next morning. So, waste time again and go to the front desk and ask for maintenance to unplug shower drain. And their reply is always, "oh yes sir, our folks will unplug that today, no problem." (REALLY??). 4. And that 1st morning, my wife cannot even put her makeup on at the small desk provided in the room. Unbelievable, because there is NO LIGHT anywhere on that side of the room. There should be either a wall light or a table lamp at the desk area, where people work, read, makeup, etc. So, my wife has to sit at the balcony to do makeup. 5. Speaking of NO LIGHTS on that side of room, the coffee maker was in such a dark location, again no light. You could hardly see where the water is poured into maker. Wife had to get out her small flashlight so we could see adequately. It is obvious that CHETOLA has deliberately cut costs everywhere they can, even at the inconvenience of their guests. DAMN RIDICULOUS. 6. At 2nd night, guess what is happening in the shower?? Wife is showering once again in 3"-4" of bath wastewater. Obviously, no one did a damn thing that day to unplug the shower drain. No one checked on it, no one called to see if everything OK, NOTHING from CHETOLA staff or management. 7. Next morning again to the front desk and request a manager to solve the problem. Out comes "Warren" and I barely start to explain the problem and lack of attention to it by the maintenance dept when he begins to interrupt my conversation. Only to state what a great maintenance staff they have and it will be unplugged. He seemed like an automatic robot only saying what they apparently teach these people to say when they know they have a problem, but won't admit it to the guest. He continually interrupted us to state his prepared bull____. 8. I told him how damn RIDICULOUS & DISTURBING it was that my wife & I are spending a lot of vacation time trying to correct their own damn problems INTERNALLY that are directly affecting us during this stay. Overcharging fiasco, no maintenance for 2 days while we wash in dirty waste water. Not even mentioning the lack of adequate lighting in the room. He was almost rude in the way he kept interrupting our problems and he would not entertain anything that would at least show they wanted to makeup for their internal problems and the difficulty it was making for our lost vacation time. 9. As stated earlier, it is a beautiful resort on the outside exterior, but internally it is a DAMN JOKE and highly DISRESPECTFUL to their guests. At least in our case it was. "Warren" should be sent back to Hotel 101 school and taught how to listen and help guests who are dismissed by his manners (or lack thereof) and train him and the front desk staff who are inadequately prepared in Guest Relations.

Shortly after we arrived, I was sitting with my wife, her brother, and his girlfriend around a charming hearth, sipping complimentary wine, discussing philosophy and religion as the snow-blanketed countryside began to glow with winter twilight. One of the owner's longhaired cats lounged with us - an unexpected addition to our group. My wife and her brother are allergic to cats. No matter - as long as the cats stayed out of our way, we were sure we could enjoy our stay with slight irritation. My brother-in-law's girlfriend took one of the cats downstairs to the owner, sweetly explaining that although the cats were lovely, two of us were allergic. She returned up the stairs and reported the owner's perturbed reply: "No one can be allergic to my cats." Puzzled, we resumed our conversation. A second cat curled up next to me; I stroked its fur absentmindedly as we debated the nature of morality. Suddenly, the owner appeared at the top of the stairs. "Ok you guys," she said bitterly, grabbing the cat, "give me my sweet kitty. I don't believe it for a minute." "What's the cat's name?" I asked out of courtesy. "Never mind!" she cried, stomping back down the stairs. The four of us sat in stunned silence. Had she been offended by our medical condition? Attempts to resume our previous conversation proved futile, as quaint relaxation gave way to nervous confusion. We decided to politely confront the owner and give her another chance. Perhaps we had mistaken eccentricity for anger. "I hope we didn't upset you about your cats," said my brother-in-law. "It's really only a minor allergy, I'm sure I'll be fine." "It did upset me," said the owner. "Longhaired cats don't cause allergies - I've researched the matter. 99% of my guests love these cats." I guess we should have known. The four of us retreated to a bedroom to discuss our next move. We had already put down a one-night deposit, but the tension had grown unbearable. We decided to leave. "I think we're going to look for another place to stay tonight," I told the owner. "We don't want to intrude on . . . what you have going on with the cats." "I can get over it," came the quick reply. "Can you?" Upon reflection, I supposed I could. The tension in my stomach eased a bit. We had probably made too much of this, and we were ready to get our vacation back on track. "Just stop being such sissies about the cats!" laughed the owner. We went to out dinner and pretended we weren't nervous about coming back. None of us slept well that night. Surrounded by darkness, trapped in a house with an irrational, irate woman, our minds conjured up the standard horror-film scenarios about naïve young people in remote locations We knew these thoughts were ridiculous. But we knew we had to get out. Despite our fears to the contrary, the owner was relatively cordial about our early departure. She complained about the lost income, but I imagine she was glad to see us go. We were but temporary trespassers in a feline domain. At least we ate a hearty breakfast before leaving. Of course, we dared not tell the owner that one of us had a wheat allergy. No one could be allergic to her waffles.
