Perfect location within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants however their customer service shines far above all else!
Our toddler left a small stuffed animal during our stay and they not only located it for us, but also were willing to ship it to our home. Thanks so much for your kindness!

Staff is accommodating & clearly take pride in their work. Rooms were very clean & location is absolutely perfect!
Blowing Rock is not big but this hotel is in the middle of everything there is to offer. 5 min walk to downtown which includes a beautiful new kids park. We will definitely be back, hopefully EVERY YEAR!

Stayed here for a weekend recently and it was the quintessential way to see Blowing Rock.
With a downtown adjacent location you can walk anywhere, even to local trails. I would recommend the Ridgeway Inn to anyone looking to enjoy everything Blowing Rock has to offer.

My sister and I stayed in the Ridgeway Inn in July for a quick sister's birthday trip. We enjoyed our stay SO much.
We loved the private deck and so did my sister's furbaby, Jack. What a treat to be able to travel with our fur-legged friends. The grounds are beautiful and the location is FABULOUS. Right in the middle of it all.

We spent 3 nights here for our anniversary. Perfect location, very reasonable rate, and had to be the best night's sleep l've ever gotten in a hotel. We'll be back and we do recommend.
The Ridgeway Inn is pet-friendly lodging.
Cats and dogs are welcome at The Ridgeway Inn (with deposit).
Bring your furry friends along and stay in natural serenity, perfect for pets of all types — at the base of the Blue Ridge.
Western North Carolina is full of great mountain towns, and this year Blowing Rock was voted the best of the best.
Follow the Blue Ridge Parkway for beautiful mountain panoramas, or stay in town for ice cream from Kilwin’s and your choice of laid-back dinner spots.
Legend has it that author Jan Karon based her Mitford series on Blowing Rock—visit, and experience the charm for yourself.
