Adorable lodge with easy check-in, kind staff, and the vintage charm you'll only find in the mountains. Easy walk to shops, great food, and amazing coffee. Would stay multiple times over.

Pros:

The Hemlock Inn is a charming inn in a great location, within walking distance to dining, shopping and things to do. The only downsides were the musty odor in our unit and the hot water and water pressure dropping while showering.

Pros:

The only thing that might be a drawback for some is the lack of convenient outlets for tech devices. They were there, but a little hard to get to. This wasn't enough of a problem for me to downgrade my rating, because it was such a nice play to stay.

Pros:

Great location but even with air purifier and AC on high, mildew smell in bathroom was inescapable. Also door had glass at the top that was curtained with sheer fabric which meant that the room was bathed in orange light all night, really unpleasant. Service was cursory-no ‘how was your stay’ just ‘drop off your parking pass’.

Pros:

Clean hotel with a friendly staff. The location is excellent for Blowing Rock with a quick jaunt up the hull to hit Main Street and the shops and restaurants lining the area. Nice touches with ceramic mugs and daily housekeeping services. The flowers and additional landscape on the property are really lovely. Our room had a big bathroom. The room with the bed was a bit tight but adequate. I would stay here again but opt for a larger room.

Pros:

I arrived late, but had no issues accessing our room. Settling up with the front office the next morning was quick and easy.

The property is in impeccable condition. Both the rooms and the outdoor/common areas were exceptionally clean. We especially enjoyed the pavilion and fire pit, where we had the chance to meet other travelers and swap stories.

You can’t beat the location of the Hemlock Inn. Blowing Rock is incredibly walkable and full of charm. My wife and I strolled from one end of town to the other—while I’m not much of a shopper, the stores were still a pleasure to explore.

We already have more trips planned to the area and won’t hesitate to stay at this property again.

Pros:

Hemlock Inn was charming! Situated steps away from the lovely shopping area of downtown Blowing Rock. The grounds were beautifully landscaped with private parking adjacent to the door of the room. The room was clean and tastefully decorated in "mountain hemlock" style. Bedding was clean an comfy with ample pillows and blankets. The fire pit gazebo was a lovely site where we met other guests for conversation after dinner. I wouldn't hesitate to stay on future visits and recommend it hightly.

Pros:

Great location-walk to many shops and restaurants. The bed is so comfortable and sheets so soft. First time staying at this hotel - now my favorite in Blowing Rock. I like the mountain/cabin decor. Friendly staff. I had a 1 king room. Small but had everything I needed - fridge & microwave.

Pros:

It’s very rustic so guests need to be a little cautious when walking. The room was on the small side and not much storage but suited our need for 2 nights. Walls also a little thin. Room and bath spotless. Staff very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Within walking distance of numerous restaurants and shopping. Would stay there again

Pros:

Adorable property and lovely staff. Easy to park and you're a 30 second walk from main street and everything downtown. Very comfy beds, everything nice and clean and cozy, not particularly modern. Was disappointed the fire pit wasn't working but otherwise facilities were great!
