Saturday Morning: Rise and Glide
Wake up to the soft crackle of your in-room fireplace and the sight of snow-dusted trees outside your window. After a leisurely morning with a warm cup from Bald Guy brew or Camp Coffee, gear up for a day on the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain — just a short 10-minute drive from The Windmoor.
Whether you’re carving down the black diamond runs or taking your first lesson, Appalachian Ski offers the perfect mix of charm and challenge. Spend the day weaving through fresh powder, warming up at the lodge, and soaking in the mountain views that stretch for miles.
Saturday Evening: Fireside and Fine Dining
After a day in the cold, retreat back to The Windmoor for a long, hot shower and a little time to unwind by the fire. As night falls, wander down to Bistro Roca, one of Blowing Rock’s most beloved dining spots.
Nestled just off Main Street, Bistro Roca blends rustic mountain charm with a menu that feels effortlessly refined — think wood-fired pizzas, fresh seafood, and signature cocktails in the glow of candlelight. There’s a reason locals and travelers alike return here time and again.
End the evening back at The Windmoor, wrapped in a blanket by the fire, a glass of wine in hand, and snowflakes falling softly outside.
Sunday: Slow Mornings and Mountain Views
Sleep in, then enjoy a peaceful morning stroll through Downtown Blowing Rock — grab brunch at Hellbender or The Social on Main before heading home.
If you’re not ready to leave, linger a little longer and do some shopping in downtown.
Winter in Blowing Rock is fleeting but unforgettable. Whether you’re here for the slopes, the charm of downtown, or the stillness of the mountains, The Windmoor offers the perfect retreat between adventure and ease — where you can ski all day, dine all night, and rest deeply in between.
