neaco

Welcome to neaco, the grooviest shop in Blowing Rock! neaco has been open in town since 1998, featuring a quirky collection of gifts and decor. The owners, Keith and Russell, love having a shop in Blowing Rock- they say the small community has become like family over the years. They love seeing repeat customers, too, and say they never get tired of hearing that neaco is someone’s favorite shop (they probably hear that a lot)! Keith says one of his favorite products in the store is the Stone Booze Dispenser, and shoppers must agree because it’s their best seller ever! “I’ve visited so many small towns over the years, each unique in their own way, but I’ve yet to find a town more special than ours. Our beauty, our cool peeps, our amazing restaurants, and of course, our variety of retail keeps our awesome visitors returning on a regular basis.” -Keith

Blowing Rock Art & History Museum

Blowing Rock Art & History Museum (BRAHM) serves as the only museum in town with changing exhibits! Originally opening in October of 2011, a group of people who love the town of Blowing Rock, decided that a museum would enrich the community and quality of life here.In catching up with Lee Carol Giduz, executive director at BRAHM, she explained the importance of having an art & history museum: “(…) Bringing high quality art exhibitions, thoughtful presentations of our local history, and high quality art education to our community gives a rare opportunity to this largely rural community.” Giduz continued “BRAHM is a safe haven, a place to learn, a place for enrichment, a place for education, a place for beauty, a place to enjoy, and a place to treasure.” BRAHM operates significantly through memberships, sponsorships, funds raised at their annual gala, donations and grants. This serves to keep BRAHM a completely free museum!

Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hellbender Bed & Beverage has everything you need for a mountain getaway! A Hellbender is a large endangered amphibian found in the Blue Ridge Mountains, living mostly in clear and fast flowing mountain streams. One of the establishment’s goals is to bring more awareness to this beautiful local species, hence the name: Hellbender. Originally opening October of 2020 in downtown Blowing Rock, Hellbender is the perfect place for locals and travelers alike. Guests have the ability to eat great food, drink tasty cocktails, and snooze upstairs in one of the eight hotel rooms, with minimal effort!We were able to catch up with Abby Carson, a manager at Hellbender. Abby stated the motivation for the restaurant being ‘(…) quick service, great food, almost like a pit stop, to get back outside and explore the beautiful outdoors that surround us’. Owners of Gideon Ridge, Bistro Roca & Antler’s Bar, and now Hellbender, Cindy and Cobb Milner have figured out the secret to success in the service industry: Experience!No reservations for the restaurant, but you can book yourself a hotel room at www.hellbender.bar Hours include:Restaurant: Tues.-Sat. 11:30pm-9:00pmBar: Tues.-Sat. 11:30am-9:30pm Stop by 239 Sunset Dr. Blowing Rock, North Carolina to explore and experience it all for yourself.: @hellbenderbedbev: @hellbenderbedbev
