The lobby is attractive when you walk in, giving a log cabin/rustic personality from the start. The rooms aren’t big but the staff is friendly and the bedding clean and comfortable. Very appropriate for our needs, and affordable. Our room wasn’t by the stream, which is was disappointing, as we looked forward to that feature.

The property is really nice and very close to shopping and dining;It’s only about a half mile walk to restaurants and other shops. The room was spacious and clean, but the walls of the bathroom were a little dirty and the tub did not drain well. The room had a balcony which was great for our dog. The beds were comfortable but had places that were sunken in due to use. There was also an envelope left in the room that said “tipping was appreciated.”

The cottage itself had a good layout and the bed was very comfortable. That is the positive. Negative sides: The stove was filthy, one burner didn't work, stove itself didn't work. For having a kitchen set up, it had one cup. No sponges and when I went to locate a sponge, mgmt said they would look for one, no response. The place needs a deep clean as the shower floor was disgusting, and vents on the bathroom floor had dead bugs lodged in it. Fan blades are filthy. The futon in the living room needs to be replaced if they are going to use it as a couch. You can't sit on it, no backing to hold you up. The cottage is located behind the main motel, there were insufficient parking spaces for the 3 cottages and penthouse.

We usually stay at The Village Inn when we are in Blowing Rock. I feel like we got duped this time around. We normally stay in one of the cottages, but none were available. We booked the family suite, which boasts a "separate bedroom". It was basically a regular room with a couch shoved in the room. None of the regular rooms are described as having a "separate bedroom". Why call it a suite if it's no different than a regular room? A suite is defined as a "set of rooms". The room was so cramped that the couch can only be turned into a bed if we moved it in front of the door. I had to climb over the couch to get into bed. The description of the room was not only misleading, it was false. We were very disappointed. I know The Village Inn can do better than this.

Location and cleanliness was fine. The room smelled musty and I felt the advertising was nicer than the actual property and room. I was dissapointed that the lounge was not encouraged to be used as the big screen was not in working condition. For an Inn I expected a lounge and restaurant.

This property is very charming. Loved the big comfortable bed and the shower water pressure was awesome. It is also walkable to Main Street. The grounds are lovely with a pond in the back and it is also pet friendly. The reason for the 4 star is because the air conditioner was not working in our room. Had it running all night and still not cooling.

Did Not Meet Expectations
We arrived to a room that had hair in the bathroom, no hangers and window coverings that did not work. The gal at check-in was pleasant but unable to provide dinner recommendations other than a pre-printed handout. She did call us a bit later to see if we had settled in. I shared my dissatisfaction. She was apologetic.Bed was soft and thin walls unable to mask Bigfoot snoring from adjacent room.

Big disappointment!
Not what we expected! The add photos are not a good representation, no activity in the lobby, fire place not used, lobby closes early. Out dated room, mattress worn out, tiny room/ bathroom, kept awake for 4 nights from noisy neighbors, foot traffic on wooden walkways, trucks on hwy. Unable to use rear porch due to rotting leaves & apples on deck. The staff was pleasant and tried to assist but apparently are not properly equipped, we had to ask for towels, wi-fi & cups. The room smelled musky, I threw out old used up damp rid bag, upon asking for a replacement the owner advised that she is not replacing them! Noisy ac/heater that was difficult to operate. The new owner is running this Inn into the ground!
