About this property

Historical Hotel, Main Street Blowing Rock

A luxury, short term rental experience located in the heart of historic Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The Reinhardt Rooms, formally the Parkway Hotel, is newly renovated and decorated by acclaimed interior designer Molly Northern. The Reinhardt Rooms combine simple mountain contemporary design with a historic, southern hospitality and aura.

The Reinhardt Rooms are located directly in the heart of historic Blowing Rock. Stay here to be able to walk and explore our great hallmark town.

Unit No 2 is our smallest space in the building however, it comes with all of the amenities of the other two units. It is complete with a full living room with a pullout sofa bed, dining area, kitchen, washer/dryer, full bathroom, bedroom , and deck access.

The Reinhardt Rooms are located Right in the heart of Main Street, Blowing Rock. Walk to any of the shops or restaurants in our awesome town. You can unload in the "Loading Zone," then park full-time in our reserved spot in the lifted parking lot behind First Citizens Bank.

Before booking our property, please read:
1. This is an extremely old building, actually it is one of the oldest in Blowing Rock (1924). It isn’t perfect. Sometimes the water takes a little longer to heat up and the windows leak during “gully washer” storms. With that being said, we love it anyway and are constantly making improvements.
2. We live in a true “hallmark” town. While it is an awesome community, calling someone to fix a problem is often met with “I can put you down for next week” (The sense of urgency is not always there).
3. This is not our full time job. We have other priorities including dogs, school, mothers-in-laws, etc. We will do the best we can if a problem comes up, but please know we have to balance a big family.
4. If you plan on staying with us during the week, please know that the building receives commercial deliveries Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Often, these deliveries happen between 6-7am. They are not there long but it could be noisy. The overall street is very quaint but the building is situated near other restaurants that get deliveries throughout the week. Please let me know if you have any questions about this point prior too booking.
With that out of the way, we will do everything in our ability to make sure you have the best experience possible. Blowing Rock is an amazing place filled with amazing people and amazing things to do. We hope that you will give us a chance! -The Northerns

Perfect in Every Way!

This apartment was perfect in every way! It was beautifully decorated, clean, and the location could not be beat! The amenities are exceptional! A beautiful kitchen island with a large sink, refrigerator, stove, and cabinets stocked with everything you need. The room faces Main Street and we enjoyed hot chocolate and coffee from the downstairs Blue Deer Coffee Cafe. Austin was incredible to communicate with and was attentive to us having a perfect stay. Truly, it was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Perfect little apartment on Main Street.

Great location. Rocky start as unit wasn’t clean when we arrived. Manager was called and immediately took care of the error. Austin came to make sure we were good, cleaning people Kind and thorough. They went beyond to make sure we were taken care of and satisfied. In life mistakes happen, it’s how you handle them that makes a difference. Bravo! I would recommend this unit to anyone and everyone. Updated, convenient, clean, comfortable, perfect spot. Will definitely stay again.

Very Unique Stay

My wife and I stayed here over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We have stayed in blowing rock many times, but never in a location where you can step right onto Main Street. The interior is very simple and clean with everything you could need. He had a great shower. We hope to stay here again someday.

Highly recommend!

We would highly recommend this vacation rental and hope to go back soon! This was the perfect spot to enjoy Blowing Rock for a long weekend. We have always loved Blowing Rock but normally take day trips to the area. It was so relaxing not to think about parking and to be able to walk to all the key shops and cafes. Also close to great hiking spots! The Reinhardt rooms are very clean and freshly decorated. They did a nice job renovating yet honoring the historic charm of the building. Bonus…Blue Deer cookies is downstairs…so, sometimes we could smell freshly baked cookies and coffee drifting upstairs. Austin was a very accommodating and responsive host. The room we initially booked was unavailable due to renovation/maintenance, so Austin upgraded us to a larger room before we arrived. He also dropped off warm cookies and a welcome packet the first evening we arrived. If you are trying to decide whether on not to book…book it! It is every bit as charming as the photos and a lovely way to experience Blowing Rock.

Great spot for a couple to get away.

Location was great. We rent in the area a lot, but usually have our dog with us so renting here was never an option. Glad we did, the apartment has been recently updated and done with taste. Appliances, counters, sink, hvac, and about everything else in the place have been done in a quality manner. The décor was done tastefully and a suprise to us was the nice deck off the back with a great sitting area. We did run into an issue with the water pressure, but was quickly resolved once we told the owner(Building has a water filtration system and just needed a filter replacement). Only complaint we had was the kitchen needs to expands its inventory of cooking utensils etc. Probably not a big deal for most, but we had just traveled from the coast and had a good amount of food that we prepared ourselves. With that said, we would stay there in a heartbeat. The location could not be better, just be aware there is a narrow staircase to lug you luggage up, but that goes with the territiry when you stay in a cool old historic building.

Main Street Stay

The properties location can’t be beat. However, I was surprised how sparse the property was with details. No checklist upon entering or leaving the property, such as thermostat control, tv controls (which yes, are basic), cleaning requirements etc. this property has obviously been redone recently as it is very clean and appliances look to have never been used. No ice tray in freezer. We are in our early 60s and most likely would stay in a higher quality place. One definitely needs to come with everything if you stay here. Parking is also not onsite, which I may have missed in listing.

Memories on Main

Location. Shopping. Eats. If you’re active, this place is for YOU! Climb the stairs to a bright, charming, and cozy one bedroom apartment that sits above retail shops. Walk Main Street for cute shops, stop in at Blowing Rock Brewery for a flight of beer then walk next door to the mellow mushroom for pizza or make a reservation at the specked trout for dinner, which is just across the street. Grab your car keys and take a ride up to grandfather mountain to see the bears and walk across the swinging bridge, make the loop to valle cruis for old fashioned candy store before pulling into Boone for lunch at the stick boy kitchen and walk around appy state. All in all a weekend of fun memory making.

Short getaway

The location is fantastic. We had no issues accessing the property. The shower faucet knob in our unit was somewhat loose which made it difficult to adjust the temperature and I had to look up how to use the thermostats, but everything was beautiful and clean. These apartments are perfect for the teen to 40’s range. Older individuals or families with younger children may have issues with accessibility do to all rooms being on the 2nd floor which are only accessible by staircases.

About the host

Hosted by Austin Northern

Host profile image
My name is Austin Northern. My family has been based in the high country since before the civil war. My family purchased this historical property in late 2020. After a six-month renovation process, we are excited to begin welcoming guests. My wife and I own and operate "Blue Deer" here in Blowing Rock. We currently run 3 locations with hopes of opening more soon. With that being said, we are committed to offer the best experience possible to guests of the Reinhardt Rooms. We hope you will consider staying with us.

Why they chose this property

R.S. Reinhardt Building ca. 1924
The R.S. Reinhardt Building was actually built by Lynn Lawrence’s grandfather, Everett Greeley Pitts. It was built for a Lenoir businessman, Mr. Reinhardt. The significance of this building is that it was Blowing Rock’s first post office. . It was originally a one-story building, built in 1924. It remained the post office until 1944. It was about that time they added a second floor, which provided 10 lodging rooms for the Parkway Hotel. The lodging rooms were upstairs, while the hotel dining room and coffee shop were downstairs, on the first floor.About three feet up from the sidewalk on the front of the building, there is a USGS marker that identifies the official elevation of Blowing Rock as around 3400 feet.

In 2021, the building went through a major reconstruction and renovation. Currently this historical property houses Blue Deer on Main, The Bee and the Boxwood, and the Reinhardt Rooms. The Reinhardt rooms were decorated by local designer Molly Northern with a theme of "Modern Rustic".

What makes this property unique

The newly renovated Reinhardt Rooms are the only logging establishment located directly on main street. Stay with us and enjoy the proximity to all of our local shops and restaurants!
