Chetola Mountain Resort, Blowing Rock
What a gorgeous setting. No wonder so many couples (40 or so each year) get married here. The approach road curls around a
placid lake and spans a stone bridge up to the entrance. Private homes share the water's-edge view with the lodge's guests.
Ducks and geese paddle around the lake, adding to the fairy-tale setting.
Chetola (pronounced cha-TO-la) has much more of a motel look and feel than the other inns. The 42 rooms are air-conditioned and have televisions and phones. But it's the setting that merits inclusion here: As with the other two, you're far away from the rest of the world.
Chetola Mountain Resort: North Main Street, Blowing Rock, NC 28605; 1-800-243-8652 or www.chetola.com. Rates: $123 for a double-occupancy lodge room to $415 for a three-bedroom condo.
