Westglow

My wife and I spent four days at Westglow and had a memorable experience overall. The standout of our stay was Jennifer, who went above and beyond in helping plan our trip. She was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about our experience — a true gem. We stayed in Room #3 at the Manor, which was charming and well-stocked (even had a clothing steamer!). The bathroom was beautiful, featuring a smart mirror and upscale toiletries. However, the shower was difficult to operate, with unclear temperature controls and inconsistent water pressure — especially when the restaurant was busy. Breakfast was a highlight — Chef Warren made an incredible bacon cheddar omelette and was such a kind presence. We didn’t dine formally but enjoyed a bar-side smash burger that was absolutely amazing. The charcuterie board, on the other hand, was just okay. Staff across the board were kind and professional — Andrew and Ben at the bar made great cocktails and were super personable, and housekeeping kept our room spotless. The spa amenities were nice, but the facility is showing signs of wear (visible patchwork, peeling paint, and an aging bridge that felt questionable in terms of safety). The grounds are gorgeous, but we were disappointed to find the walking trail overgrown and inaccessible. One final note: this is a very upscale environment. We weren’t prepared for just how high-end the setting and clientele would be, and at times felt out of place due to the formality and some cold glances from other guests. All in all, we’re thankful for the opportunity to stay at Westglow and meet such incredible staff. While we’re unsure if we’d return due to the pricing and social atmosphere, we genuinely appreciated the care we received and would come back simply to see the wonderful team again.

My wife and I spent 3 days at Westglow. Everything was first class. The rooms were spectacular, the spa was inviting and relaxing. My wife said she had the best hair stylist ever. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Our dining experience would compete favorably with any 5 star restaurant. We will be back soon.

I rarely write reviews ( busy life) but when I find someone or somewhere that so far exceeds the norm I have to say something. Jon David at Westglow Salon and Spa in Blowing Rock is a hair genius. He took one look at me and knew immediately how to color, cut and treat my hair to help me look my best. All this taking place while I gaze at the beautiful mountain landscape, finding my Zen. Finally, I have to mention that I fully expected to pay double what they charged for this exquisite experience. Shhhh, maybe don’t mention this.

My husband and I spent Valentine’s Day weekend here. We stayed at the Manor and spent an entire day at the spa. We had an incredible experience start to finish. Jennifer at the manor is truly incredible – she made us feel like family. The staff at the spa and the restaurant were all personable and down to earth. We had incredible services from Dallas, Hali, and Jodie. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Our stay was amazing! From our arrival, Jennifer made us feel welcomed, shared history of the estate and made sure we had everyone we needed. The spa was excellent and brand new. We stayed all day and relaxed with beautiful Mountain views. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset dinner and after dinner drinks in the lounge. We will definitely be back at Westglow.

Great spa experience! My husband and I got massages, I got a prenatal and he got a Swedish. We both had a great experience. For $50 you can stay as long as you’d like before/after your service and enjoy the facility. They have ice water and lemon ice cubes, hot tea/coffee, and trail mix that’s complimentary. The lounge has a beautiful Mountain View. They have a heated pool, 2 whirlpools, and saunas. I enjoyed the lounge and watched videos on my phone with my AirPods. It was so relaxing, we stayed almost 5 hours after our service. They have a bar/snack area near the pool where you can pay for drinks/snacks to enjoy while you are there. The locker rooms have lovely showers, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hair appliances. Make sure to bring a hair brush. They have plenty of towels and the robes and spa shoes are comfortable. Definitely recommend if you are visiting blowing rock or Boone. It was a great experience and we would definitely go back.

I absolutely love Westglow—it’s my happy place whenever I’m in Blowing Rock! The highlight of my visits is always a facial with Myra. She is truly amazing! For the past 20 years, she has been the only person I trust with my facials, and for good reason—no one else compares. Myra’s touch is incredibly gentle, making every facial a deeply relaxing experience. Unlike other facials I’ve had, which can feel rough, hers are pure bliss. On top of that, she is both sweet and professional. Westglow wouldn’t be the same without her!
