I absolutely loved this place. It was quiet, comfortable, beautiful, and just what I needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great motel, so convenient to I26. When they have sauna and bar open, it'll be a really sweet spot to

10/10 Exceptional

I found the stay to be quite peaceful. Standing on the top of the mountain early in the morning, taking in the air & view was unparalleled to any place I’ve stayed before. Going down the mountains to the river and seeing how crystal clear it was & listening to the flowing water. The small town restaurants down the road had great food. Will definitely recommend and return to this stay

10/10 Exceptional

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!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful mountain view, but didn't get what is the difference between with view or not as all the rooms standing in the raw and you can see actually beautiful view only went out of the room.

Not worth the money

Wasn’t worth the money. There is so pool, spa, or even a store to buy night snacks. Next time I will stay in a cabin.

Recommend this motel and view

We were very pleased with this motel. We didn't contact the owners until late in the day. They responded back promptly with arrangements for the room and key. The room was clean and ready for us with towels and a message to contact them if we needed anything. Very hospitable. Location was good, right off the road. This is an 'old-style' motel that the owners have modernized. They were currently upgrading some other units which was a positive thing to see. bonus was that we had an absolutely gorgeous view of the mountains in the evening out our back door. Recommend.
janet, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

On arrival the property was CLOSED with an emergency phone number on the office door. The calls were answered by voice mail. When the calls were returned the innkeeper was snarky and indicated that our reservation was for a later date, which it was NOT. The portion of the property which was visible showed signs of poor upkeep. (Admittedly the innkeeper stated that the property was closed for maintenance). Amenities were lacking compared with other properties at this price. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. ZERO STARS OR LESS.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

The mountain views are awesome. Very friendly staff. Clean and relaxing!

Received codes for room and overlook area prior to arrival, worked perfectly upon arrival. Room very clean, outdoor area has one of the best view’s we’ve seen at any property.

Came down from OHIO and this was a nice small, quite place. Totally recommend. Only thing i didnt like was when you first walk into the room its a little musty. But overall view in the back was beautiful!!

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.

Loved this place. Had the best views. Make sure you get the room with a view. I can not wait to go back. Best stay ever.
Jim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
