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 3 is our biggest space in the building. It is complete with a full living room with a pullout sofa bed overlooking main street, powder room, dining area, kitchen with granite island, washer/dryer, full bathroom, a and bedroom.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 NorthernsAbout pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.
