Orchard Inn

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.

All I can say is WOW! The view is stunning but what really blew me away was the hospitality!!!! What a magical weekend the staff at The Orchard Inn provided. The food was incredible and so were the cocktails!!! Just want to give you an absolute applause and thank you for the beautiful memories. I can’t WAIT to come back!

This place is a gem ! The staff was amazing and so accommodating! And The food was great! The CHEF definitely satisfied all the guests needs! The duck was out of this world !!! I can’t wait to come back !

The Inn is rustic and has maintained the feel of a 1920's lodge. Games, and books galore in addition to a pool table and two adorable Boxers. The staff was excellent. Katie and Dori were so accommodating and service oriented. Marianne talked with us at breakfast and it was wonderful. Breakfast was excellent and we had our 10th anniversary dinner at Neuman's which was superb. We had previously stayed in Asheville and decided to stay a bit south. Excellent point at which to explore Tryon and the smaller towns in a less hectic environment and a stone's throwaway from Asheville. My husband does lathe work as a hobby and we were able to find some excellent sources of wood as well as tour the Sierra Nevada production facility, restaurant and gardens which was amazing...even though we aren't beer drinkers! Definitely recommend and would love to return in the fall!

Checked in to the Orchard Inn after family reunion and could not of made a better choice. From he minute I drove up the flower lined driveway it was a little slice of heaven. This place is gorgeous and the staff is top notch. Catie at the desk was so pleasant and was always ready to help. Marc and Marianne have really made a special place here. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and was a great way to start the day watching all the birds. Two boxers are on premise Clayton and Roxy. Roxy is only 4 months old and adorable. Had a massage one day with Jennifer and she is excellent at her job! Will retun!

Very nice. Great views. Excellent food. We would stay again.

Had an opportunity to visit Orchard Inn and dine at Newman's Restaurant. The ambiance was lovely with a fire crackling in the fireplace and twinkling lights all around the room. Our server (Lynn) was attentive, knowledgeable and professional. The 4 course meal was amazing! I had a salad, house-made fettuccine, melt in your mouth need tenderloin, and panacotta for dessert. (Wish I had gotten the scallop ceviche vs fettuccine, just because it was so pretty). Everything was hot, fresh and elegantly plated. Sorry I didn't take any pictures! Highly recommend for a special meal with good friends.

My spouse and I recently enjoyed a stay here. The Inn is beautiful, with a number of cabins also on the property. Upon arrival, Katie was very welcoming and gave us a tour. The Boxwood cabin was great, with a remodeled bathroom, and a nice screed in back porch. The cabin also has a gas fireplace. Breakfast was delicious, and our server Mary was very pleasant. Saluda and nearby Tryon have a lot of antique stores, and other interesting things to visit. One thing to note: if you want to eat in the restaurant at the Inn make a reservation early. Even though we were registered guests there to celebrate my birthday, we could not get a table.
