Guest Reviews
- Sandra (8/5): - The value was good. The Inn is a "throwback" : older, but very clean. Reminded me of my childhood in the 60's, very charming. It's a bit off the beaten path from the main drag in Blowing Rock, though. Not really walkable. Too far off from the Main St.
- Yoyo (9/5): Great place to stay in a charming town, for good value as well - Room was clean and spacious, with extra blankets and two sinks. The staff was very friendly as well. On top of that, Blowing Rock was an extremely charming town to visit. My only complaint if the stay was the WiFi being spotty, sometimes disconnecting altogether.
- Erica (10/5): Best Little Inn - The staff went over and beyond to make our stay the best. I had car problems and they offered to pick us up. Nothing
- Randy (6/5): Clean but needs some things upgraded - Room was very clean and spacious mattresses need to be replaced, no support door would not stay locked, after puling door to, door would come open
- Alexis (7/5): -
- Siriporn (7/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Kimberly (8/5): - Great room at a great price
- Terrie (8/5): -
- Anna Lucía (9/5): - Beautiful view, clean room, friendly staff
- Howeson (9/5): Great place to sleep on your way to somewhere. - Great view and large room. Needs a little updating.
- smith (10/5): Everything was good - Good place to stay Didn’t have a breakfast
- Emma (7/5): Great stay! - Incredible view from the room! Great value for money. Room was clean and staff was very friendly! Decor was outdated
- John (8/5): Overall a nice inn that’s a good value especially in Blowing Rock. I would stay there again but would ask for a room wit - Very good price, very clean, well appointed, and spacious with very nice views. The kind lady at the desk called me a few days prior to our trip and moved us to two adjoining rooms on the office level where we could park right at the rooms as we were on motorcycles with lots of gear to carry. I’m sure it was beyond their control but WiFi was down the entire time we were there and the TV was entirely WiFi based with Roku, so no TV available. Also, this is just a personal preference issue for me - the king size bed in room 303 had the softest mattress I’ve ever slept on and with my back I can’t say I slept very well. If you like a soft mattress then you may like it but I need a much firmer mattress to be comfortable.

- Don (10/5): -
- Joshua (10/5): -
- Chris (8/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - I love the location. I visit Blowing Rock every year for a car show called Zdayz and it happens just across the street. So this was an excellent location
- Hope (5/5): - We liked the location of the hotel and how quite it was. The space of the room was good as well. And we liked the view we had. The bed was very firm which some people might like but it was too firm for us.The towel wrack wasn't properly installed and fell off when trying to hang a towel.There was no housekeeping while we stayed. The room was clean when we first arrived though.
- Esther (8/5): Was a comfortable stay - Place was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for the stay. The air conditioner was too loud.
- Greg (8/5): - Rustic and charming The room was spotless, except for an exceedingly dusty ceiling fan
- Carlos Antonio (10/5): -
- Brent (10/5): -
- Jeremy (10/5): - The price was great. The view was awesome. My only issue was the carpet in front of the bed. Me and my wife tripped over it multiple times. Luckily we didn’t fall.
- Kristina (10/5): -
- Ivanna (7/5): - Views. Size of the apartment. Fireplace. Jacuzzi The lady at the front desk was great It was old. We were there in cold weather and freezing wind gets inside through the edges of the AC. We were super cold all night. Also the ac are old and not enough for a winter night. The “lobby” is always closed
- Mitch (9/5): This was a great place to stay for the money - It was clean and convenient There was no ice machine and the room could have used a sofa
- James (10/5): -
- Rhonda (9/5): Cozy clean place, would recommend for sure! - Very clean and spacious rooms Very steep hill with very sharp turn into the parking lot. It was wet and slippery when we visited
- Larissa (8/5): -
- James (10/5): A tad outdated but awesome!!! And excellent service!! -
- Yolany (10/5): Comodidad - Como siempre las habitaciones muy limpias. No hubo nada que no me gustara todo muy lindo y limpio
- Clifton (10/5): Awesome - The staff was very hospitable and the location is difficult to beat. The only problem we had was the tub/shower backed up with water a little bit but was quickly fixed.
- Kelley (10/5): - The staff are always accommodating and friendly. The rooms are always clean and you can't be the location.
- sheree (10/5): wonderful stay - If you are looking for a cookie-cutter hotel chain, look elsewhere. But if you want a stay that defines true hospitality, Cliff Dwellers Inn is the place to be. To me, a 5-star rating isn't about how new the drywall is or whether it looks like every other Holiday Inn across the country. It is about the quality of service, the warmth of the atmosphere, and the care put into the guest experience. By that definition, Cliff Dwellers is a gold standard. Darrin was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful and kept in constant communication with us, making sure every detail of our arrival and stay was seamless. The accommodations are charming and cozy exactly what you want when escaping to a place like this. It feels like a home away from home rather than a sterile box. the inn has character, the rooms were impeccably clean. You can tell the staff takes great pride in the upkeep and it is such a relief to find a high quality place that truly welcomes four-legged family members. They made traveling with our pet easy and stress free. You couldn’t ask for a better spot. We were right where we needed to be to enjoy the best of the area. Don't let the "big chains" fool you. If you value genuine human connection, a peaceful atmosphere, and a team that goes above and beyond, book a stay here. Thank you, Darrin and team, for making our trip so special! nothing
- Shanna (8/5): Great affordable place to stay. - The location and I was surprised on how big our room was. The hill is a bit scary to go up and down if it’s icy out.
- Glen (10/5): Wonderful! - The property was very nice and clean, rooms were large and comfortable! The only minor inconvenience was the driveway as I had to turn, reverse and turn more to get in and out with my standard 1500 truck! Most everything, the staff was very helpful!
- Melissa (10/5): -
- Samantha (9/5): - Cliff Dwellers was in a great location, just off the main road from Boone to Blowing Rock. The rooms were very spacious. We booked two room and we could open the door to connect the rooms. Would definitely come here again. Friendly staff!
- Helen (8/5): -
- Audrey (7/5): - Beautiful and clean property. Rooms are spacious and comfortable We couldn’t take a shower. There was something wrong with the water. It was either scalding hot or freezing cold and unable to adjust it.
- Mary (10/5): Absolutely wonderful! - The view was amazing it was close to good shopping and food.
- Jayne (8/5): - Very helpful host
- Sharon (10/5): Overall, it was a great stay, and we will stay again - We stayed in room 102. It was very large and very clean. We will stay again. Had a hard time getting anyone to call us back. We were trying to get extra coffee in the room.
- Elena (8/5): Great, comfy, budget-friendly stay - The proximity to downtown Blowinv Rock, restaurants and shops Nothing
- Debra (10/5): -
- John (10/5): Definitely a return in our future - The location was more than we expected. The host was readily available for local hotspots to enjoy. The mountain retreat had a breathtaking vista of miles around. Facilities were well maintained and we rated it the best stay in our five hotel travel week Can’t think of a thing
- Amber (7/5): Overall, the stay was nice there were no evidence of rodent/insects. The hotel had a beautiful outside view. - The room was very roomy and somewhat up to date. I liked the location however it’s hard to turn onto the first level our car got stuck in the curb turning in. There was spilled soda beside the night stand that was in between the beds. Beds were worn out and squeaky, and not very comfortable to sleep in. No one was at the office when we arrived so we had to call the number on the door to get checked in.
- Manami (10/5): -
- stacy (9/5): Clean and Convenient - It was quite and comfortable I was happy with the stay.
- pamelalN3835RG (10/5): Great weekend - Checked in at the Cliff Dwellers Saturday and the service was friendly and quick. Got to the room 304 and it was nice and warm. The view from the balcony was cool due to weather but the scenery was beautiful. The king bed was nice but both sides had "holes" in them so you rolled into them and could not get out. The bathroom was big with plenty of hot water; however, we ran out of Kleenex tissue and no more in cabinet (told clerk next morning on checkout). Great place to stay, it has been there a while but was clean and would definitely stay there again.
- Kathy (10/5): - Always love staying here. Close to app state but way less than hotels in Boone and very nice.
