Circa 1926. This inn combines the casual feel of a country farmhouse with the elegance of a Southern plantation. The spacious living room features Oriental rugs, original artwork, quilts and a cozy stone fireplace. In addition to the nine comfortably furnished guest rooms, there are three cottages with fireplaces, whirlpool baths and private decks. A full breakfast is served every morning, and dinner is available by reservation Tuesday through Saturday. Guests can explore the area on superb country roads recently designated a scenic by-way.

Romantic Interest

The Orchard Inn is nestled on a mountaintop in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our views greet you at an intimate breakfast in the morning, and our comfortable rooms snuggle you in at night. During the day, you can escape into any number of quiet corners or hammocks on the property or explore our charming town, Saluda, that, like The Orchard Inn, sits on the National Register of Historic Places. Many other activities are nearby as well.
