I’ve stayed twice now and am just in love with this place. It’s so cozy and peaceful and the owners take great care to think of every sweet detail. There’s so many great places to sit in the common area, there’s nothing like starting your day with warm breakfast and Mountain View’s. It’s so quiet but really close to Hendersonville, which is such a cute town. Lots to do nearby, I love that jump off rock is a couple miles uphill. I work remotely and was able to do that just fine with the WiFi with no problems, always had phone signal as well, which can be sometimes be a problem in wnc. I just can’t say enough good things about this place. I even brought my teenage son for a trip and he and his friends enjoyed playing chess in the sunroom. I plan on coming back as often as possible

We stayed here the weekend of our wedding and had our guests book rooms here too. The staff went above and beyond and was so kind and thoughtful. Each room is different and so cute. The place is so cozy and inviting. Our guests loved the inn!

We always have a wonderful stay at Echo Mountain Inn. We always stay in a different room when we stay here. We stayed in the Plum Pretty room. It has a beautiful view of the mountains.which are spectacular, especially the morning sunrise with the fog hanging low on the mountains. The room was very comfortable, you can sit at the large window that has table and chairs, with a nice glass of wine or cup of coffee and not even think about the outside worlds problems, they just melt away. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, so many breakfast dishes to choose from. Coffee always hot and plentiful. We always meet so many people from all over the country. There is such a laid back atmosphere downstairs in the separate sitting areas, that people want to ask you how or what brought you to the Inn. The staff is friendly and attentive. Hendersonville is such a interesting little town, which is just at the foot of the mountain. So many good restaurants to eat at. So many shops to browse through. Always pleased when I leave the Inn.

This is an established inn and it has amazing history. Yes rooms are smaller and older but for what we needed it was perfect! They only serve breakfast and coffee in the mornings so we took advantage to rise early and then head out to seek adventures/food in Flat Rock/Hendersonville and Saluda. We would come back here again!

I stumbled upon Echo Mountain Inn thanks to ChatGPT while searching for a romantic, quiet bed-and-breakfast in the mountains, something peaceful, charming, and still close enough to a town. Now when I tell you my husband and I are selective, I cannot stress this enough! We typically stay in very high-end resorts, so I truly didn’t know how this experience was going to go. Let me tell you… Echo Mountain Inn did not disappoint! I’m sitting in my living room right now wishing I were back outside on their rocking chairs, looking up at the stars. The inn is incredibly charming it feels straight out of a dream, especially with the beautiful stonework on the exterior. Inside, it’s decorated so thoughtfully, with love and detail in every corner. Since it was Christmas time, everything had an extra layer of magic. Now let’s talk about our room!!! We stayed in the Royal Room, and it was exactly that — royal. The views were absolutely jaw-dropping, mountains in every direction. The bed was super comfortable, everything was clean, and honestly my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Breakfast was delicious, and the dining room itself has a gorgeous view. It’s such a bright, happy room to start your morning in. Truly, I will cherish our stay, and I cannot wait to come back!

A Dream Wedding Weekend, Thanks to Echo Mountain Inn! We recently had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding reception and accommodating all of our closest friends and family at Echo Mountain Inn, and the experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment we first inquired to the second we checked out as a married couple, the staff was exceptionally kind, friendly, and genuinely hospitable to our entire group. The fact that the Inn could house our wedding party, our guests, and us (the bride and groom) made the entire weekend feel seamless and intimate. It truly felt like we had a wonderful, charming home base for our celebration. Every single person in our group commented on how welcomed they felt and how the staff went above and beyond to ensure their stay was comfortable and stress-free. Beyond the incredible service, the Inn itself possesses a wonderful, unique charm. It provided the perfect, cozy backdrop for our reception and photos. We also cannot talk about our stay without mentioning the amazing included breakfast. It was a highlight of every morning, delicious, fresh, and served with so much warmth. Echo Mountain Inn did not just host our wedding; they became a beautiful, unforgettable part of our story. We highly recommend this beautiful establishment to anyone looking for the perfect blend of charm, hospitality, and comfort. Thank you for making our wedding weekend truly special!

We absolutely loved Echo Mountain Inn! The inn itself was beautiful! It was an added bonus when we arrived and realized that it was decorated for Christmas already! The owners and the workers were some of the sweetest people you would ever meet! The breakfast was divine! My favorite was the bacon and the sweet potato casserole. My husband said it best when he said, "It felt like you were spending the night at Mamaw's house and no one loves you better than your mamaw!" I am praying that my husband's immunotherapy goes well and that we will get to return to this beautiful inn soon. Lastly, the many signs of their service and love of our Lord was apparent throughout the inn! Another Added bonus that made our stay even better! Echo Mountain is a little Heaven on earth!
