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.
