We are only reviewing the restaurant as we didn't stay in the inn. This is a "can't miss" restaurant. At least for the meals we had... fabulous! Everything was top-notch. Highly recommended. More

Crippen's Country Inn in Blowing Rock, NC met our every expectation. It was like being home! We booked Room #4. The bed was comfortable, the heat bothered us but that was resolved by raising the window to let in some wonderful crisp mountain air! The Inn is in downtown Blowing Rock and allows you to walk easily to local businesses.... More

My sister and I stayed here for four nights while we visited friends who live nearby. I asked for a room No. 5 because it had twin beds. When we got there, the beds are pushed together and made up to make a one big bed. I didn't realize I needed to tell them ahead of time that I wanted... More

Loved every minute of our stay at Crippen's from beautiful King size #6 to delicious country breakfast of eggs, bacon, grits and biscuits! Lovely hosts/hostesses, super friendly, attentive and clean with quaint old clawfooted tub/showers. Directly in town, so easy and convenient. Buying sister a gift certificate to go! More

This is definitely a country b&b, with old sloping wood floors, rattling windows when it's windy, noisy plumbing, etc. If those things bother you, either bring some earplugs or go to a motel. Otherwise it's charming and impeccably clean, with lots of closet and storage room, amazingly. The big draw here is the Crippen's hospitality and generosity; you really feel... More

My husband and I decided to take a 'Babymoon' before our little fella arrived. I thought that heading to Blowing Rock would be a perfect place to relax and unwind, especially with the fall season. I went to school at ASU and I remembered always hearing great things about Crippen's. What a wonderful time we had! The Inn was cozy... More

I am late writing this review, but I still can't get this place out of my head. We loved every second of our stay. The rooms were very clean, food was delicious, and staff we very helpful. We were in town for a wedding and many of our friends stayed at a large hotel- we ended up with far better... More

Jimmy Crippen is the perfect host, making us feel like old friends. Lynn the breakfast cook (ooh, those grits!!) and housekeeper is like having coffee with your neighbor. I had a girlfriend getaway here, staying out in the cottage. Nice remodel! More

The main reason for booking this attractive B & B inn is to dine at its justly acclaimed restaurant, arguably the best in North Carolina's High Country. During the season (which runs from spring through fall) Blowing Rock is overrun with tourists, with New York-style traffic jams and parking spaces almost impossible to find, making walking upstairs to your room...
