We stayed at The Embers hotels, it was a perfect spot located downtown Blowing Rock, never needed to move our car. Walked to all the shops and even Bass Lake to walking trails. Hotel and dinning staff were all very friendly. Dinner was great, we make a great filet at home and this one could definitely hold its own! Breakfast was also yummy, highly recommend the grit skillet!!

Went to the Embers for date night with my wife. I had the short rib and she had the trout. We both enjoyed our meals. Cocktails were creative and good. Desserts were good as well.
