Unpretentious & cute it was cozy. The location, high on a rock hill with forest views helped add to the quaintness. The weather in the 33rd/12 state that is covered by the astrological sign Scorpio(secrets) was refreshing & invigorating, at this time of year. This time it was hard to uncover any hidden messages but maybe next time. It was hard to breakfast there. Good Deal.

Nice upgrade of a classic motel

Pros: Rooms - decor and comfort
Cons: Better designed hot water design.
Location: It's the Blue Ridge - hundreds of things to see and do.
Has been redone and upgraded with nice individual room decor and furnishings. Warm welcome by owner and very comfortable room. Great views. We were there during major rainstorm, so missed out sitting by outdoor fire pit. Only "issue" was how long it took to get hot water at the taps in room - we were at end of motel and it took about 5 or more minutes of running tap to get hot water. We'll stay here again next trip to area.

Our first visit to Saluda NC.

Pros: Convenient to Saluda NC, the Green River and neighboring towns.
Location: Very unique town with great shops and restaurant available. As one store theme so aptly put it.."Vanishing Americana".
The owners, Wendy and Wayne Auman, were very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The accommodations were very clean and tastefully decorated with "home" in mind. The fire-pit, the view of the Green River Gorge and the hug from Wendy as we were leaving were outstanding.
