No matter where you start, The Orchard Inn is a perfect destination. If you are coming from the north, you'll descend through the lower mountains and valleys of the Blue Ridge to just below the village of Saluda, whose entire downtown area has been designated on the National Historic Register. From the south, you wind from the upper piedmont into the foothills; then, by the 'old road,' a 'scenic by-way,' up through the Pacolet River gorge past rocky falls so close they mist your windshield. Either way, as you approach your destination up the long winding driveway, the rest of the world falls away and you enter a mountain top escape on 12 peaceful acres. |
In addition to the nine guest rooms in the main building, there are five cottage suites complete with fireplaces, whirlpool baths, and private decks. All are comfortably furnished with period pieces and antiques, many with queen-size four-poster beds. After your quiet night's rest your day begins with a full breakfast served on the glassed in dining porch overlooking the Warrior Mountains to the east. You won't find a lovelier place to enjoy the great outdoors. More structured activities include a trip to nearby Connemara, Carl Sandburg's home; the Biltmore House, Gardens and Winery; the Flat Rock Playhouse, North Carolina's State Theater; and the internationally known Brevard Music Center.
