Was nothing like the pictures. We booked an executive suite and the pictures showed a jetted jacuzzi style bathtub which our suite did not have. The space was old an d outdated with cracked plaster /paint. Also, multiple bugs on the ceiling, the bed, and living space. We will not be returning.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was a lovely older property that has been upgraded. It was extremely comfortable and the amenities were more than expected. It’s a block or two from Main Street and there are many eateries and boutique shops there. A nice breakfast spot is across the street. The information given out at check in was generally good but gave the wrong location of the ice machine. The only real downside is that we could not figure out how to get the TV to operate properly. There were two remotes but only one seemed to work and that one you couldn’t control the volume or channel selection. The other one which appeared to be a cable box controller didn’t seem to work at all. Maybe they were just too smart for us. But that was pretty minor in the overall experience.

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.

My husband has always wanted to stay at this cute, older motel, but we were a bit disappointed in the room. Beds were very nice and we slept well, however the furniture was very old and dated and could really use an update! The vintage style very small bathroom was okay, but the water temp went from cold, to barely warm, to hot, and back to cold again throughout both of our quick showers! It was obviously the result of other rooms running their showers at the same time. That def needs to be addressed!

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 VERY small and old but the room was clean. However, the water wouldn’t stay warm the shower so we all had cold showers. Also, the beds were full size instead of queen size.
