I stayed at Cliff Dwellers two nights with my wife. My son, daughter in law and grandson stayed in an adjoining room. When I booked the rooms I didn't know they were adjoining rooms but that was a nice bonus. The staff was very friendly and Seth gave me some "right on" restaurant recommendations. The rooms were very spacious, which... More

We arrived and stayed only 5 minutes and left and was charged the entire night. The hotel has a view of the parking lot and could hear people creeking all on the top floor.

Thank you so much for this review with complete admission of the facts. This guest called on multiple occasions before booking her room and asked about almost every room in the inn. She settled on one of the cheapest rooms in the inn with the least view we offer. She was told of policies and received a confirmation that further... More

This place is great for what it is, and for what it is not. It's a throwback to the time when most motels were locally-owned, not cookie-cutter franchises. It is dated in that respect, but that's what makes it so charming. We selected this place for two reasons--the reasonable price, and the view that overlooks Blowing Rock. And while the... More

Thanks for your wonderful review of our place, I love not being cookie cutter! I appreciate the fact you brought up the fact we are clean, friendly and have some nice choices for our free breakfast. I think that makes a stay great for all guests. Yes, we show our age and embrace it in our fun funky decor choices. More

My Mom and I had a wonderful stay at the Cliff Dwellers. We stayed in room 301. It was a really nice visit. From glancing at the motel from the road, you might just pass by it but you would be missing out. When we arrived, we were met in the lobby by Rhonda to help us check in. The... More

Read reviews before booking and glad I picked a winner. For the reasonable cost, the room was large, breakfast was much more than expected, nice views, clean room, and quiet. Close to Grandfather Mountain where we wanted to go but got fogged out. Love the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thanks Rhonda

This hotel is very average and the stay was fine. The is a old hotel. The room was very large and the room would be rated average in comfort level. If you are looking for an average clean room at a decent price - then this is the place for you.

I thank you for your review. While we do not strive for a guest to feel we are an "average" place I am pleased that you feel we have big clean rooms. When I stay in an inn, clean is the most important attribute a place can offer me. We are not the typical cookie cutter hotel motel place and... More

I just returned from my second stay at Cliff Dwellers and it was even better then the first. I love Blowing Rock but have not been willing to pay the going rate at Chetola. Cliff Dwellers offers nice rooms, great views, and possibly the best bargain I've ever found in a hotel. Rhonda is great! I'm already planning my next... More

Thankyou so much for your kind words especially considering this weekend was a little tense with the credit card network company doing unscheduled maintenance in the middle of a Friday.

We were met with a warm, home town welcome by the general manager, Rhonda. She showed us our room. What a beautiful view. The sunset was simply amazing. I would definitely recommend the Cliff Dwellers Inn when staying in Blowing Rock/Boone area. Thanks, Rhonda, for a great stay.

This unexpected treasure in the Blowing Rock area is centrally located and a funky place to spend a few nights. It's right next door to an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Management was super friendly and accommodating, helpful in locating great spots to visit and eat. It was extremely affordable with lovely porches and plenty of space indoors.
