What a find this place is. Â A delightful surprise to step into the restored cottage style building of days gone by. Â Quaint setting, good mountain view, relaxed, quiet feel. Â Only went for dinner- a limited pre fix menu with some nice creative flare to it. Â Only disappointment was the lack of organic /free range meet. Â Beef was Angus but not organic. Â Butternut squash soup and delicate salad were delicious and beautifully presented but Crab cake entree was a bit mediocre. Â Tiramisu was outstanding and service was very low key, non intrusive yet attentive. Â Espresso was not available in decaf.
Review Source:Relaxing, peaceful location. great food, comfortable rooms and a large, welcoming lobby.
The innkeepers are friendly and helpful. Great views of the mountains. I especially enjoy sitting in the lobby and watching the sun rise. Â My wife enjoys the multitude of birds that feed just outside the large dining room windows.
Highly recommended.
We enjoyed a relaxing 2 night stay and were very impressed with the service, cleanliness, and the amazing gourmet breakfasts! Â The location is right in the heart of a quaint mountain town and is only a short drive up to Asheville and many other attractions. Â There are some modern amenaties, such as wifi and a large TV (downstairs), but the appeal for us was the chance to escape from the business of life and spend a few days of quiet relaxation in the mountains. Â Marc and Marianne provided just that at the Orchard Inn.
Review Source:This is a fantastic bed and breakfast. Â 30 mins south of Asheville on I-26 in Saluda, North Carolina.
It sits on top of a quiet mountain.
The main Inn has a 8 rooms. Â There are also 5 cottages.
Dinner is served a few nights a week and the food is delightful.
This is the place to get away from it all.
The Inn was originally built 1926 by Southern Railroad Brotherhood of Clerks.
Take a long weekend and head to Saluda.
