Things to do...
Conveniently located in the Western North Carolina mountains, Saluda is the ideal spot for a weekend getaway or a weeklong adventure. The dream of apple pie-style small town America is thriving here.
At the turn of the century Saluda was a bustling summer resort served by the Carolina Special passenger steam train, which brought visitors who wanted to escape the heat of Lowcountry South Carolina. Today, the town proudly retains a Main Street Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places lined with wonderful old buildings, quaint shops, and tasty dining options.
Visitors to the area can also enjoy day trips to nearby Biltmore House, drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or take walks in the historic downtown areas of Asheville and Hendersonville. During your stay, take in a play at Flat Rock Playhouse or pay a visit to the home of famous poet and writer, Carl Sandburg.
Looking for a more athletic activity? There are many fine public and private golf courses within driving distance. Or how about a hike to see one of the many area waterfalls? Go get wet as fly fishing, kayaking, and tubing on the Green River are fun for the whole family. The ski slopes in North Carolina are also not that far away.
Your stay at Saluda Mountain Home can be busy with activities or relaxing with quiet time watching nature or reading a book by the fire. It's all up to you.
