Hillwinds Inn, Blowing Rock

I stumbled on this place while online, researching a trip to Blowing Rock. They have 3 different locations - we stayed at the "Village Inn" on Sunset Drive. After spending 3 days in this great town and checking out the other available options, I'd honestly say this is the prime place to stay. The room was awesome and included a private deck, free breakfast in the morning and wine & cheese in the evening, and a 3-5 minute walk to downtown. It's also right next door to a restaurant named "Twigs" - which came highly recommended (although the overall food quality in B.R. is questionable at best - the only part of my visit that wasn't 5 stars). Great service here as well. The website doesn't do this place justice...I will certainly be heading back. P.S. If you haven't been to Blowing Rock, check it out. We went during the autumn - the drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway was awesome, Main Street is cute, and everyone was friendly. Lots of people in town looking at real estate...this place may not be a secret for much longer.
