A group of ten friends arrived tired and wet and received a most warm and welcoming reception including wine and a cheerful fire. The stone building was built as a summer residence but for the past 30 plus years has been run as an Inn by one family.Views are spectacular. Each room (of the five we occupied) had a gas... More

Wife and I have been returning to the Gideon Ridge Inn at least once a year for the past fourteen years. It is sincerely one of the highlights of our year, and we've met many couples who are as fiercely loyal to the Gideon as we are. Peaceful. Quiet. Off the grid. Great place to reconnect. Beautiful Inn and natural... More

We were totally captivated by the inn and the placement of the inn on a ridge overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. The service was excellent. The rooms and common areas immaculate. We had a stone floor covered porch overlooking the mountains and the gardens of the inn. We felt like we never wanted to leave.

We totally enjoyed our recent visit to Gideon Ridge. We were there to celebrate our anniversary and they took the extra time to leave champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in our room - what a treat!!! The grounds are gorgeous as well as the views, the staff was extremely attentive to all needs and it was one of the most... More

This remodeled 19th century residence is an unusual treat...about two miles from downtown Blowing Rock....spectacular views of the mountains and grounds...service was unsurpassed in its professionalism and kindness...cozy sitting areas- a great place to contemplate life....outstanding breakfast.

A wonderful Inn - with very nice surroundings. A very short distance outside the city center of Blowing Rock. We spent one night there wanting to experience the cool mountain air during the summer. We enjoyed a lovely dinner, and their great breakfast. When there, check out the history of this place. We very much enjoyed the gardens and the... More

We stayed at the Gideon Ridge for a night over Memorial Day, in the Blue Room. We have previously stayed in the Grandfather Mountain Suite, but we were late in making a reservation, and this was the only room in the Inn. This is a great property, it is perched on a ridge overlooking the valley below Blowing Rock. Our... More

Great Inn for our 40th anniversary celebration! Great staff, facility and fantastic location. Moses Cone knew how to enjoy his wealth! We walked to Blowing Rock in 5 minutes before breakfast. The local town and establishments were also fun to explore. With hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway you have all you need for a great time.

This stone castle wrapped around the top of a mountain seems to be operated by house elves.Things appear just before you need them and disappear right when you don't need them anymore. There is one little spoiler though: road noise. 321 wraps around the property, and although it's pretty far down hill - sound travels pretty well in mountains. For... More
