We bought a coupon for two nights here. After reading other reviews on Tripadvisor, we didn't expect much, but were pleasantly surprised. Of course, this is an old facility, but everything has been updated. Our room was spacious and sparklingly clean. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. There was a nice variety of food for breakfast in a large, comfortable... More

Had booked this motel for 4 nights....but left after just one. Some quick FACTS: called the reservation line for "Village Inns of Blowing Rock" and was directed to push "2" for the Hillwinds Inn desk. Got an answering machine and I left a message that I wanted to make a reservation. I did not receive a return call. I subsequently... More

We are so sorry that this guest felt unsafe during their stay. This is honestly the first report that a guest has felt unsafe in one of our properties. Blowing Rock is a very small, very seasonal town that forces businesses to be creative during the off-season. As a result, our rates are deeply discounted during this time, however, our... More

I booked a room at Hillwinds Inn for one night online through Hotels.com. When I checked out the next morning the girl at the desk charged my credit card for a lesser amount than I paid online but told me it would not be charged to my card. So, 4 days later both charges are on my credit card and... More

We are sorry that this guest was accidentally charged at our property for a prepaid reservation. This was the first morning working alone for this front desk staff and we greatly apologize for the mistake, but the problem was resolved immediately. More

We stayed for one night on Feb. 16th in a 2 double bed room for 170.00 which was ridiculous concesidering what the room looked like. The Internet pictures are very deceiving. The carpet did not look vacuumed especially over by the beds. There was a small refrigerator but no microwave. The sitting area consisted of one small chair sitting in... More

Great location. Rooms were (mostly) quiet and nicely appointed. Lovely furniture (needed maintenance), nice linens, VERY comfortable beds, and reasonable price. Tiny bathroom, good maid service. Rooms adequately vs. thoroughly cleaned. Fridge was good bonus. Did NOT realize that there are 2 buildings -- a lovely Victorian style inn with a detached (across a small lot) MOTEL! I did not...

We stayed 1/6/2013 and got a good rate at $79 a night. Town was dead; I guess it is off-season. Room was clean and adequate. Refrigerator in room was convenient. The problem was that the complimentary breakfast didn't start till 8am to 10am. We waited around till 8:15 and still no one had shown up to even unlock the main... More

We are sorry to hear that this guest was not able to enjoy our complimentary breakfast. Our lodge opens at 8am daily and we do serve a very generous continental breakfast each and every morning. I have investigated this guest's complaint, and have confirmed that the Guest Service representative on duty that day did have the lodge open and breakfast... More

This is a quaint inn with people who were eager to please working there. The rooms were nice and clean, but a little dated. If you ever believed in location, location, location, this would be a reason to stay here. It is in the heart of Blowing rock. You can walk to any place in Blowing rock from here. All... More

It was peak viewing for The Blue Ridge Parkway fall colors, so everywhere from Boone, to Blowing Rock was booked solid on Oct. 13th,2012. So Hillwinds had 2 rooms left and we booked for the high season rate of $209. They did honor our Military discount though without question. We stayed in rm109. It has a shabby chic decor, dark...
