"If you like mountains, it's a nice place to stay. But the parking situation of the cabin was not desirable. It's hard to park and not enough space. When checking out, we had to wash/dry/put dishes in the cabinet, remove sheets, take trashes to the trash bin outside which we didn't expect at all."

When people visit Boone or any of its surrounding areas "artsy" comes to mind. This image resembles the area perfectly. From the front, this man is smiling while concentrating on his painting. Art is a huge part of the Appalachia culture. The town is full of color from spray paint on walls to artsy shops at every corner. It embodies many of the values a lot of people in the town encompass such as happiness, craft fulness, and resourcefulness.

#appalachianechoes This picture is of the Mystery Hill sign in Boone. I took this picture because it reminds me of the time my parents brought me to Boone for a short vacation. We visited Mystery Hill and it is something I think about when describing this region. It is a picture that I feel many people from the region have in their minds from a previous visit or an outsider may feel for a similar place from their hometown. I chose to only take a picture of the sign because it is more direct than a picture of the Mystery Hill building.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Blowing Rock has many opportunities to admire the scenery and take pictures. There are many quaint shops and we loved the architecture of the buildings and homes. So many things to see in one trip. We will definitely visit again as soon as possible.

5/5 - Excellent

Most restaurants close at 9 p.m. Less than ten minutes away from Boone, which has lots of options.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

This is a nice place to visit with outlet shopping and plenty of dining options. It is 15 - 45 minutes to all 3 winter resorts that offer skiing, ice skating and snow tubing.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It is the gateway to the rest of the mountain towns in the area, such as Boone or Banner Elk. The Green Park Inn and Blowing Rock saves us 30-ish minutes both ways, making this a great one-night destination.

5/5 - Excellent
