My boyfriend and I go to Blowing Rock often and we always stay at the Hemlock! It is the cutest little inn with the most friendly staff. The owner, Brian, makes you feel so welcome and is super helpful. Also, the location of the inn couldn’t be better. It’s a 2 min walk from all the shops and restaurants. 10/10 recommend!

Great location, right off of Main Street in Blowing Rock. Limited parking, especially if you have a large vehicle. The mattress should have been replaced a very long time ago. The mattress sunk in the middle so you didn't have a choice but roll toward the middle. The bathroom didn't have counter space at all. The staff was friendly .

This is my favorite place in Blowing Rock. It started years ago when I was looking for a place to take my Mama for Christmas. Her health was sketchy so I asked each place I called if I could cancel last minute and be refunded. After many attempts and not much positive headway, I called Hemlock Inn and spoke to Donna, one of the owners. She said "come on and we will make the stay great for her".
It was great, she had a wonderful time and told everyone it was the best vacation ever, even though we were only just a couple of counties away. She lived in North Wilkesboro.

Hives and old bed pillow/ blankets. The loudest and most sleepless night of my vacations.
While the rooms are quaint, the bed is extremely rough. Old pillows and blankets cover the bed. During our one night get away, I broke out in hives during the night. There are only two towels per room as well. They mention make up remover cloths, which still remain a mystery to be found. There was hair on the shower walls and the toilet handle had to constantly be jiggled to stop it from running. Other guests were extremely louD AND RUDE after "quiet hours". Unfortunately, our little romantic get

While my husband and I have our "usual inn" in Blowing Rock, for Valentines day he decided to try out a new place and rented us a room at the Hemlock. As he reserved the room online, he was under the impression that the King room was going to be covered in wood, very rustic and have an electric fireplace. The check in situation was cute and old school... reservations were all written in a book, no computer system to help the housekeeping staff communicate with the gal at the front desk... they accept Cash or Credit. Room 9 was the pits if ya ask me! The room itself was fine I guess

I grew up in Blowing Rock and my husband and I vacation there often. The Hemlock Inn is super reasonably priced and fabulously located, the rooms are small but lovely and owners and all of the employees are friendly and very helpful. The only drawback is the wifi, which is spotty and often slow. Best signal and speed is usually available sitting out in the gazebo, which is not very practical for serious internet use. But, if you are ok with a holiday from your devices (cell service can be spotty in town as well), on your mountain holiday consider staying here. Landscaping and decoration at the

I liked this hotel. We originally were planning to stay elsewhere, but that booked up at the last minute so we found an available room here. We booked online and arrived for 3pm check-in. Our original impression wasn't great, since we were questioned if we were really staying at the hotel (we arrived during a Food & Wine festival, so I suppose a lot of people were trying to park without actually being guests). But once they realized we were actually guests with a reservation, they helped us a find a parking spot and checked us in. The hotel itself is cute, with little animals carved into

The location of this inn is very convenient to the 'downtown' area of Blowing Rock - an easy stroll to most of the restaurants, bars and shops. And from my very brief time at the Inn, it appeared to be clean and well-maintained.
However, my complaint is the same one that, sadly, drove me to abandon my reservation and move elsewhere: the lack of wi-fi internet.
Ultimately, this is a complain about misrepresentation by the hotel.
Despite the hotel's description of itself, wi-fi is *not* available in all rooms. As I had some small amount of business emails to review in the evenings

Stayed in a double room. Wasn't told it was a Murphy bed coming out of the wall. The bed was as hard as a rock. Also there were hairs on the pillow case and sheets. So I doubt the bedding had been changed obviously. Small stand up shower, no tub. Wouldn't advise staying here unless everything is booked like in our case.

Super cute, super convenient, super friendly, and affordable! There were three of us traveling, and when we got there, they showed us around to different room sizes and options and let us pick what we wanted to do. They made reservations for us and cancelled them when we changed our mind. We walked to everything. We were there for the wine festival but be prepared that Blowing Rock itself has ZERO nightlife. I don't think anything was open past like 7pm. But the hotel was comfortable for us to drink in the room and play cards!
