Chetola Resort & Conference Center, Blowing Rock

My husband and I have stayed at Chetola twice -- and both times it was a lovely experience. We really, really loved the restaurant. The cuisine easily compared with some of New York's better restaurants, and a much more affordable price. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and very nice with ammenities. Our room had a balcony, which we greatly enjoyed. The resort is very relaxing -- a trip back in time to when things moved slower, and enjoyment was greater.

This beautiful resort is centrally located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My wife and I went there before we had children and had a nice room overlooking their lake. We didn't spend a whole lot of time on the property, but that was because we only had a few days to get in the sightseeing. One thing is for certain - if we go back to the Blue Ridge, Chetola is where we will stay.

I LOVED this place it was very romantic and peaceful. It was a suprise for me my husband got a babysitter and we packed up for a 2 night get away. We got a condo to stay in and when I arrived at the home there was alot alot of roses waiting on me. You have options to have roses, chocolate, wine, candy, balloons etc to be waiting in the room when you arrive which is NICE! I also had a AWESOME massage the next day another suprise!!! FOOD there is out of this world very fancy but yet casual eating area paddle boat and much more this was a trip i will never forget

Chetola is just a gem in the mountains. We've been visiting since 2002. The ownership is certainly not set on the "same ol' thing" year after year. They have consistently improved, added, and spruced up the resort. The partnership with Bob Timberlake has resulted in amazing furnishings and a wonderful bed and breakfast style inn. Plus, the number of things to do is countless.
