Special Announcement
Our Rates Are Lower — Because You Deserve a Break
We know times are tough. Gas prices are up, budgets are stretched — and yet, you still deserve something beautiful. So we made a decision: our room rates are lower than they should be, because we want you to experience the luxury of The Saluda Inn without the weight of the moment.
A standard room that was $350 on weekends is now just $295. Same boutique inn. Same Blue Ridge Mountain views. Same exceptional experience — just more accessible.
