Orchard Inn

10 stars for The Orchard Inn! I would give them 10 stars if I could! LOCATION The inn is located in charming Saluda close to the downtown shops and only 10 minutes from Hendersonville. Easy to get to from the highway INN The inn itself is gorgeous! Walking towards the inn on the beautifully landscaped walkway lands you on a large farmhouse porch with swings and plenty of sitting areas just awaiting a cool mountain breeze to wisp by you. The inn has a beautiful, grand fireplace and several sitting areas, including a library where many guests were enjoying relaxing. Downstairs felt like its own little pub area with TV watching area and pool table, which we used. The well behaved boxer, Clayton, meets you at the door and followed us to our car to "help" us unload. Very sweet and friendly pup! Very cozy and homey vibe! THE ROOM Farmhouse feel and bed was 10/10 on comfort. It was GREAT sleep and so cozy. Bathroom was a little small but large pedestal sink allowed for plenty of room for toiletries, makeup, etc. DINING The ambiance and dining experience made our experience very magical. Breakfast was superb - fruit yogurt, danishes, eggs, sausage, and yummy sunflower toast. We sat out on the porch veranda and I cannot begin to describe how glorious it was. Trickling water sounds, wide mountain views, and cozy dining table. SERVICE Everyone is so friendly and hospitable. Adam gave us a tour of the inn and was so nice and charming. Overall, wonderful experience! Make sure to check out the birds!

The Orchard Inn is that perfect mix of cozy, friendliness and food that you'll talk about for days afterwards! We went for several dinners there in December. The annual Dickens dinners with the Christmas decorations, roaring fireplace, happy staff, a talented actor reading the Dickens story and the well-thought-out and exquisite dining experience made it really feel like the holiday season for me. Then we went back for Christas Eve and New. Years Eve, too! We just couldn't get enough. Each evening was perfect. I'm not one to usually jump to write a review, but our experience for these three evenings was so exceptional I thought the family who owns the Inn and the staff deserved this recognition. Way to go! You're created something magical in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Thank you!

From start to finish, our stay at the Orchard Inn for my sister’s wedding was incredible. The staff made us feel so comfortable and cared for. The accommodations, gardens and views are SO beautiful! The food was AMAZING, and farm to table. Chef Stewart wowed the entire wedding party with his amazing culinary talents. He even went as far as to prepare our send off breakfast, a delicious veggie frittata with homemade pastries, extra early so we could eat before leaving for our flights. The spa and yoga center had all us ladies feeling relaxed and ready for the big Wedding day. Whether you’re looking for a memorable & delicious dinner or brunch in a beautiful Mountain View setting, or a cozy place to stay as you explore the area…..This is the place to visit or stay, hands down. 5+ Stars all around.
