Nice room, front to back of the building. The view out back overlooking the mountains was gorgeous. And Saluda is a quaint little town.

I never met a staff person, so I can't say anything about that. I DID have direct text communication, however. The entire establishment is adorable and full of character. Those espousing sterile chain places may not like it much, but those - like me - who love reclaimed character will have GREAT appreciation for this beautiful gem. VERY comfortable and squeaky clean. The "backyard" view of the mountains is more than only breathtaking. I'd add a photo if I could, but "something" isn't cooperating and I can't upload one.

Although right off Route 26 in Saluda, NC this property is quiet and has an amazing view of the mountains. There is a communal courtyard overlooking the valley and mountains and a small bar area for gathering. My room was perfect with all the amenities you would expect.

New owner, new name: Green River Lodge

The room looked like the photo. This is an old style motel with a wonderful view. Not all rooms get the view but all rooms get access to the view. Our room had a back door that led to the common back yard with the view, a fire pit, and a sauna. If we stayed a second night we would have tried both but tonight it was storming. There were some problems with the room but in the morning we spoke with the new owner, a local. She is getting repairs done and has plans to restore Appalachian character. It is close enough to the highway that you can hear some trucks. The driveway is a one way loop and the GPS tried to take us past the entrance. Look for the sign with the new name.

I spent a week at the property as I had business in Tryon NC, and this motel was 15 minutes to the event. It was quiet at night for the season I was there which was in March but still steady people staying. There was unfortunately a wild fire at the time but the staff kept us updated in the event of evacuation. The rooms are clean and are being updated as under new management. The views are stellar behind the motel. A work in progress but I think the new owners have a good plan for the motel and are working toward the progress daily. I spoke directly to them and they were friendly and very southern hospitality. The little town of Saluda is a sweet spot in those mountains. The Wildflour bakery I’m told is the best all around but get there early in the mornings for their sticky buns, they don’t last long. I had pizza there on Friday night and it’s the best I ever tasted. Wakey Monkey coffee shop is a must stop also. Fresh home baked pastry’s and breakfasts and lunch served daily till 2. Coffee was fresh and delicious, owners were sweet southern kindness. The whole town has great history and everyone who lived there are more than happy to share stories. Trangie, the Mayor of Saluda told me much of the history along with VIVi in the visitors center. I highly recommend this motel for a great get away stay tucked in the beautiful mountains in NC. Lots to see all around the area and short distances to each place from Early Blue. Come back for a relaxing fire and quiet.
