About

Before it became The Embers, this property, tucked between Rainey Street and Morningside Drive, was home to a little brown house with a front porch overlooking Route 221 and downtown Blowing Rock. In the mornings Stephen and his wife Chris would sit on that porch and sip their coffee, breathing in the crisp mountain air and relishing the cool respite from the rhythms and crowds of city life. When parades and other festivities graced the town, cofounders Stephen and Chris enjoyed a front row seat, soaking in the celebratory spirit of community and connection unique to Blowing Rock. That feeling sparked the idea for The Embers, a unique boutique hotel where guests can relax, reconnect with nature, and feed their inner flames.

Every inch of The Embers is steeped in the spirit of nature: the crackling flames of our enormous log-burning fireplace, our one -of-a- kind bar top carved from semi-translucent Patagonia stone, custom crafted light fixtures made from reclaimed barn beams — every detail is designed to delight. And to honor the splendor of our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains, The Embers’ unique indoor-outdoor design – with balconies off every room and sweeping patioscapes-blends the openness of the outdoors with the cozy refuge of rustic-inspired luxury. Whether you’re settling into the magic of Blowing Rock - or venturing out - The Embers is the perfect place to start.
