About this property

The Wander Inn - Nestled in the heart of Downtown Blowing Rock, one block to Main Street!

Leave your cares behind at The Wander Inn! Perfectly located in Downtown Blowing Rock, just a block to the historic Main Street shopping & dining, this townhome is the ideal home base for all your Blowing Rock adventures!

Entering the property is easy, with zero steps through the garage. The ground floor offers a family room with comfortable furnishings arranged around a built in wall of shelves and an HDTV, as well as a half bath with laundry. The eat-in kitchen is updated with stainless steel appliances and comes with all the cooking basics you'll need to prepare meals - if you can resist the temptation to grab dinner from one of the many restaurants within easy walking distance, that is!

The Wander Inn offers three great bedrooms. On the second floor, one story up from the ground floor, you'll find a King suite with private bathroom, and a second King suite. At the top, on the third floor, you'll find the third bedroom with a Queen bed and a twin daybed with trundle.

Outside on the ground level is a lovely fenced in patio, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere in Downtown Blowing Rock. There is one parking space outside as well as room for two mid-size vehicles inside the garage.

The Wander Inn is perfectly located just steps off Sunset Drive, facing The Inn at Ragged Gardens and the Blowing Rock Alehouse. With such a convenient location, you won't need to worry about finding a parking spot to explore Historic Main Street - just lock the front door and walk up the street. Wander Inn to this great home today!

Great location. Parking a little iffy.

Overall, it was a good stay. However, it was hard to determine where to park and the entrance gate and steps were slick from the snow and ice. Once inside, the quality was good, but there was a half full garbage bag left in the kitchen and a few light bulbs were out. Finally, the fees more than DOUBLED the total cost of this rental. Although the location was very good, I'm sorry to say we're not likely to rent this one again.

Fall Friends Trip

Amazing property for a fun family, friend trip. The location is perfect if you want to walk to the town of Blowing Rock to explore. The house has a great layout with lots of space! The bedrooms are great size with bathrooms to join. The outside area is nice for little kids since it is gated. Definitely want to rebook since the property manager was easy to communicate with and very friendly.

Great location, poor management

I do not normally leave reviews, however given the experience during our stay I feel it's important. When we first entered the townhouse there was a potent horrible smell. We inspected everywhere and noticed the smell was most pungent downstairs. We couldn't find a source, but thankfully the weather was nice and we were able to leave windows open to air it out and had to leave the townhouse for the evening. I called and texted the contact number(s). I was told they would notify the operations team. I never heard back until the following day via email around noon. We were only offered a cleaning team, but considering the smell was tolerable with windows open, we opted to not have our weekend trip further disturbed since we were leaving the next morning. Upon departure we finally realized the horrible smell was gas from the fireplace. I was given another email to customer service and notified them promptly. A phone call was finally made and I told her of the experience. Their final resolution was to refund a very small portion of the expense and to let us know that their tech team did not find any smell. The dismissal to the issue of the smell/gas leak means they did not resolve the issue and being told there was no smell is highly unbelievable. The townhouse is as pictured, but I would be wary of the management company. The display of incompetence by this management company is loud.

We were in for the horse show and this was the perfect location. Plenty of room, enjoyed the collection of games and, not that we cooked, but the kitchen had everything you’d need or want. Would definitely stay again.

Great mountain stay!

We had a great time in Blowing Rock. This rental is perfectly located in the downtown area with everything in walking distance. The only time we moved the car was to drive to trails which were all very convenient. Most importantly, this rental was clean and safe. We would recommend it to others and stay again! Note: the third floor bedroom doesn’t have a door or bathroom. It’s more of a bonus room with a bed and daybed in it - still a great space and would be perfect for kids.

Property was very well maintained. Super clean, organized, comfortable and cozy.

Property was very clean, loved the décor, appreciated the amenities throughout the home. Loved how everything was labeled for an easy stay. I loved the location, the fireplace and how well the home was ready for guests in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. A few things I noticed- the TV in loft bedroom did not work (fuzzy when turned on) shower in first bathroom did not drain very well, so you stood in water ankle deep midway through shower. A few light bulbs burned out on us during our stay, would have been good to have those stocked within eye view so we could replace the bulbs and have the lights needed. It's a fantastic spot, loved it.
