Stayed here the night before dropping our kids at a nearby sleepaway camp and it was great! We were in one of the original rooms - no frills, but was clean, fresh and had comfortable beds.
The backyard overlook area has breathtaking views and lots of great outdoor furniture and games to enjoy.
Loved the little town of Saluda just down the road for dinner and shopping!

Early Blue is a gem!!! Stunning views of the mountains. Crazy convenient to Saluda, Tryon and Hendersonville. Staff are friendly, and helpful answering any questions we had. We will definitely be going back soon! Can't wait to see the leaves change in the fall. Make sure to get a view of the mountains with access to the courtyard. You'll love it!
