I am a repeat guest. The Inn was very nice and comfortable. Service was poor. I was asked to upgrade my room to avoid staying next to a barking dog. A complimentary upgrade was not offered.

Location had easy access to downtown. Rocking chairs on balcony was enjoyable. Parking was easy. Check in was easy and professionally done. We stayed in the Davidson Suite that was spacious with a king bed, kitchen, sitting area, and large bathroom with shower and jetted tub. Very private 2nd story.

We found this hidden gem after a bad stay in Boone and we hit the jackpot! Ethan was great and offered so many fun ideas on places to visit and the room was so cute and cozy! The bedding was great, the bathroom lighting was the best (lol) and my favorite was a bathtub with hot hot water! The property is perfectly maintained, the location is absolutely perfect and most importantly, very quiet as it’s not on the Main Street so you can get a great night’s sleep snuggled up in the great linens! I can’t wait to go back!

The room was clean, safe and very cozy! The whole property has an adrable oldfashion vibe complete with a real door key, not a card. The rooms were easily accessible with parking right in front of your door. We visited on a very busy weekend and had a room closer to the main road, but it was still quiet. It is in walking distances of all the shops, dining and even the wonderful Blowing Rock Art and History museum. I strongly recommend walking as parking outside of the inn lot is few and far between.
