Blowing Rock is open for tourism! Come support our local small businesses

Businesses & Restaurants in Blowing Rock are open and ready to welcome you back into town! Major routes into Blowing Rock are now fully open and are safe to travel.

The broader WNC community is still recovering from Hurricane Helene and impact to the area is significant. If you are visiting soon, we urge you to plan ahead and keep several things in mind:

- The Blue Ridge Parkway, local State Parks, and many local trails remain closed as damage assessments and repairs occur. A few major attractions are closed while they make repairs or direct their resources to relief efforts. Many fall festivals and events have been canceled- check our event listings for updates.

- Before traveling, check ahead with your lodging host. Many secondary roads are still under repair- full or partial closures are common. Stick to main routes and confirm their status before traveling. And please, respect the needs of our neighbors who have asked that visitors continue to stay away while they make important strides toward recovery.

- Shop and dine locally as much as you can- it makes significant impacts on the families who own our small businesses. Our shops, restaurants, and some of our local attractions are ready to welcome you!

All this to say: please visit thoughtfully. Visitors are crucial to helping our small businesses recover and your support means everything to us. If you are postponing an in-person visit, consider purchasing gift cards from our local businesses as a meaningful way to show your support at this time. If you are looking for additional ways to help, we hope you will contribute to one of the many organizations working to help those hit hardest by Hurricane Helene.

The spirit of the NC High Country is strong, and we stand together in support of those affected by this storm. We are deeply grateful to all those helping western NC- all the work, the contributions, and the kindness. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to support Blowing Rock during this difficult time. It has been heartening and overwhelming in the best way.

As you may know, the North Carolina High Country has faced unimaginable devastation from Hurricane Helene. We are thankful that Popi’s Porch Blowing Rock is fully operational, with no damage to the house or nearby roads. It is currently being utilized by groups coming into town to volunteer with Samaritan's Purse.

For those that are part of companies that have sent people to WNC to help, or anyone who knows someone who is currently displaced, we do have two homes that are available. Please feel free to share this message.

Our Blowing Rock cabin is easily accessible with power, water, etc. It is available from 10/18-11/8. I know it's not ideal for those seeking longer term rehousing, however it may be a great fit for a temporary need, or for those who are coming into the community to help.

For those that need a longer term housing option, we have a property in Caswell Beach available as well.
