Introduction
Built on the foundations of the original Mills family home, The Mimosa Inn is an historic 10,000 square foot, 106 year old "Plantation" style mansion with 10 guest rooms, all with private baths and a/c, situated on four park-like acres facing the Blue Ridge Mountains. The site is famous for its many champion trees, including the largest Mimosa Silktree (Albiziz julibrissin) growing in the USA. The Inn is also home to many Harlequin Glory Bower (Clerodendrum trichotomum) flowering shrubs that blossom from June to October providing a wonderful light fragrance throughout the summer and fall seasons.
The on site licensed restaurant and wide-open spaciousness of the Inn's public rooms, porches, patios & 55' front veranda make it an ideal setting for weddings, special occasions or romantic get-a-ways.
"The Mimosa Inn"
There are ten guestrooms down the central hall, each with private bath and large walk-in closet. The rooms all have air conditioning (temperature can be controlled by the guests). Also available is a 2 bedroom Guest House, with full kitchen facilities and private entrance. All the rooms have been decorated with antique and reproductions furniture, much of which has been built by local craftsmen. Each room has a unique style. Rates start at $115 per night.
Conveniently located between four major cities (Asheville, Charlotte, NC & Greenville, Spartanburg, SC), Tryon is probably the most cosmopolitan small town in North America. Voted one of the top ten best places to retire, Tryon's citizenry represents a real cross section of America with more than half of them originally from somewhere else. This diversity of backgrounds and places of origin help to make Tryon "The Friendliest Town in the South", and "Almost Perfect, Always Tryon".
A visit to the Mimosa Inn and Tryon/Polk County area takes you back to a time when the Cherokee and settler both competed for the land. Years before the Revolutionary War, the Royal Governor, William Tryon, himself journeyed to the area and negotiated a new dividing line between the Indian and white man. This is reflected in the names of the surrounding mountains (Tryon Peak & White Oak Mountain for the Indian Chief).
Today the area is renowned for its exceptional beauty, great weather, barbecue championship competition and equestrian traditions. Tryon has been named number 4 on a list of towns where "the horse comes first". The fox hunts, horse shows and steeplechase events are well known through out the country. You can Golf all year long at the many great golf courses within a half hour of Mimosa, including a great Fazio and a new Palmer course scheduled for completion in June, 09.
