The location is great, being within walking distance of center of Blowing Rock. Parking is convenient being right in front of room. Room was clean and consistent with prior stays over the years. Only thing that should be improved is better quality toilet paper. The single ply is not in keeping with the overall positive expeir.

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.

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.

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!

We loved our stay at the Hillwinds Inn. It is conveniently located with restaurants close by and a short walk to downtown Blowing Rock shopping and dining. We stayed in a room with a balcony and it was clean and spacious. The fridge, sink and microwave were perfect for our two day stay. The bathroom was updated. The staff was very professional and helpful and the grounds were wonderful. Included parking was a pleasure. They allowed us to bring our dog and what a delight that was.The whole town is so dog friendly. Even when I left something behind in the room when we checked out, I easily and promptly got it returned to me just 2 days later. We will definitely stay here again and I could not recommend staying here more. It was a perfect short trip to get away from the summer heat of Charlotte!

Everything was good except the tub drained so slowly. It needs to be fixed. But the beds and bed linens were very comfy. Excellent location within walking distance to everything in town. And nice that we could bring our dog.

The room was nice and clean. It was on the older side but had everything we needed. It was a little challenge getting the heat setting where we like it but overall nicely comfy room and great night in BR.

Cute, clean, quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. Great location, great price. Would totally stay here again. FYI- it is a motel-type inn where the doors open to the outside, but there are cute rocking chairs right outside the door and it’s in downtown Blowing Rock which is quaint and walkable.

Attractive property from the exterior, but showing its age inside. Clean and well kept. But baseboard radiant electric heat, ancient air conditioner unit mounted in wall.

The property is older but has obviously had some updates. The updates produce sort of a quaint feel to the room. All the necessary elements are there. One unusual feature was that it has sort of a \"shutter door\" that you can hook if you want to allow airflow in the room and not have the main door locked. I received a call a couple of days prior to travel to let me know what to expect in terms of check in and check out. It is family own and run and they have several different properties, so there is a self-serve aspect to it. Lots of resources about the area and a phone number stating where to reach someone if we had any issues was included with our check-in information. We really enjoyed the proximity to downtown and the Famous Toastery next door. It was quite a pleasant stay and the property was obviously under-booked in this \"off off-season\" during ASU's spring break. We had a pleasant time and enjoyed our stay there.

Love how little it is. Makes it more private. They use old fashion keys instead of cards and I love that so so much lol! Would definitely recommend to stay here again if only we weren’t moving back to California!

Getaway

My husband and I arrived at the village inn for a weekend getaway
My husband had a very bad migraine, we arrived two hrs before check in time.I asked if there was a was anyway we could get an early check in because my husband's migraine was terrible and he really needed to lay down. The guy at the desk asked my name and looked at the computer for a minute and then said no the room was not ready.
I said ok well what is our room number so we could park by the room and wait.
He asked my name again and then this time really looked at the computer and said 'Oh looks like your staying at our sister location down the street.
This told me he never looked at his computer for a early check in at all!!!!!!
I went to the sister location and again asked if we could get a early check in so my poor husband could lay down and rest. Well the guy working the desk was no better he said flat out NO.
There were no cleaning people around and all the rooms looked ready to go
Both were Very Unfriendly and VERYVERY RUDE!!!!.
I would never book this hotel again .we left 1 day early and was out 180.00.
BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!

Family trip

Good location, clean rooms, the only thing is a little old, but otherwise no complaints, it is quiet and you don't hear any noise, it is a little expensive considering the rooms.

Great property. Very walkable to all restaurants and shops. Stayed in the Tarheel Suite. Its was clean and nicely decorated. Only complaint is below us woke us up in the morning with slamming doors and talking loud. Not sure if its a common area or maybe cleaning. Other than that its a nice place to stay and we will be back with our pup.

Lovely and quaint!

Lovely quaint hotel only a few blocks from the Main Street of Blowing Rock. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities are great. We loved staying here plus it is pet friendly so we were able to bring our Great Pyrenees dog with us. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well. We will definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at Hillwinds twice in recent weeks and really enjoy it. It is a restored motel convenient to Main Street in Blowing Rock. The staff is vey nice and the location is great. This has become our go-to in Blowing Rock.

Toilet runs every 5 min; need to replace plunger in tank as it constantly refills loudly 24/7. The fridge also runs very loudly; something wrong with it. Update thermostat it is 39 years old and hard to see and hold right temp.

The property is \"old\" and dated. The sinks in the bathroom do not drain properly. The room was not clean. The lighting is bad. I do not recommend staying at this property.
