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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Very close to shopping and restaurants and bars. Parking on site and had an open fire pit (gas) on site. The hosts gave us great recommendations for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They were all very good!!! All places are walkable so that made the location perfect!

Cute cottage near everything

The location is wonderful. The the hotel is very cute. The front desk staff is super friendly. However, when something dropped under the furniture and bed, I was disappointed about the lack of cleanliness. The mattress also seemed to need replacing.

Great weekend getaway, but cramped quarters.

The particular room we stayed in was very small for two people. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was just cramped for two of us. The staff was excellent and the location can't be beat for being near all of the shops and restaurants. They have different size rooms, so if space is a necessity I would double check the room before you stay. Otherwise it was great.

The room had really pretty decor. The bed pillows were not good. Very flat. The mattress was ok but a little lumpy. I had taken my own bed pillows which I left behind by mistake. I don’t expect that they would send them back to me.

Absolutely gorgeous. The pictures are nice but definitely don't do it justice as to how pretty it is in person. Right in the heart of beautiful downtown Blowing Rock surrounded by shopping and dining of every variety. Especially right in the middle of winter it was stunningly beautiful.
