Orchard Inn — 2026 Editorial Pick | Best of North Carolina

Why we selected them

Room to slow down in the Blue Ridge.

Our 2026 Travel & Stay Editorial Pick celebrates a getaway shaped by its mountain surroundings. Orchard Inn offers rooms, suites, and cottages in Saluda, with breakfast, Newman’s restaurant, and spa amenities adding reasons to linger. We selected the inn for the way its lodging and setting work together: mountain views, a place to sit outside, and an easy invitation to spend a little more time away. Guests can check current accommodations and amenities directly with the inn.
