Inn at Half Mile Farm

Gorgeous location, very private. Amazing service, they have thought of everything. Would definitely return.

My husband and I had a delightful couple of days at this inn. Beautiful room, fantastic breakfast and hors d'oeuvres, and a lovely setting. The chef catered to my specific food allergy with special dishes just for me, and also recommended some great restaurants. The surrounding area is incredible with many hiking trails and waterfalls.

This is a wonderful in located on a small lake. The rooms are lovely, clean and most have private decks to enjoy coffee or cocktails. Many of the rooms not in the main house have transom windows which can let in more light at night than desired. If you have trouble sleeping if it's not pitch dark, you may want to ask about rooms that don't have the transom windows. That's the only issue we had with this lovely place. We've stayed here 3 times after staying at several other B&B's in the area - searching for the right level of comfort, seclusion and proximity to Highlands. The breakfasts are delicious and creative. Stuffed french toast, baked eggs and other breakfast treats as well as choices of yogurt and cereal if you like a lighter breakfast. They have a wine and cheese hour in the evening and it's a great way to meet the other guests and chat. They always have a selection of home made cookies as well as water, soft drinks and packaged snacks. The inn is very close to Highlands which is very convenient on those dark nights on winding mountain roads driving back from dinner or entertainment.

It's hard to take the time and spend the money (especially in this economy) to get away as a couple. But it couldn't have been money or time better spent. Our room (Winter Garden Falls) was awesome - fireplace, jetted tub, private balcony, his and her robes, high-quality linens. The cost of our room included wine and hors d'oeuvres before dinner and a gourmet breakfast. I think they pride themselves on over-feeding you, so pack your appetite! Not to mention 4 flavors of cookies in the house living room, plus coffee and hot tea. We chose to stay at the Inn for dinner as well - another great value - gourmet food with wine included. Last but not least, the staff were amazing - we refer to them as our our new friends! If you choose to leave the Inn for dinner, there are other amazing eats, such as the Log Cabin Restaurant, Ruka's Table, Flip Side, etc. We also enjoyed hiking Glenn Falls waterfall. (Be prepared to sweat if you go all the way.) We had such an amazing visit and plan to make this "our special place" for getaways in the future.

With a family of 6 children our time away is limited. This couldn't have been a more picture perfect weekend. Every detail is attended to making for a most memorable time at Half Mile Farm.

the food is fantastic, the service is unbeatable, and the location is heavenly. I highly recommend this place and we will be back in the near future!

Such a beautiful place, gourmet breakfasts are great.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return. Perfect place for rest and relaxation!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Inn in mid November of 2008. The air was cool and crisp and the pond was showing signs of a drought. Nevertheless the experience was very enjoyable. Our room was quite large with a stone fireplace, wraparound balcony and lovely well planned bathroom. (We have experienced some lovely bathrooms at various inns in the past but they were just not functional such as poor lighting, no room for toiletries etc.) The Inn is just a short distance from Highlands which is a lovely small town with quaint shops and wonderful restaurants. The common room and dining room at the Inn gives you the feel of being in an old farm house with lovely old fireplaces, wooden floors and beams. But oh so comfortable. Jason, the chef and the entire staff are very accommodating. Food was wonderful and creatively served. Take a drive to see some of the waterfalls in the area, breathtaking. We just hated to leave.

We went away to celebrate our 7 year anniversary and we were so excited and surprised at what a beautiful, romantic place to stay. The staff is overly helpful and friendly the service was superb and the food was delicious. We will be going back and staying at Half Mile Farm again. I would recommend this place to anyone we only wish we could have stayed a few more days....

My husband and I visited the inn this past June of 2008. The place is beautiful, peaceful and the grounds are kept meticulously. My expectations are high when my husband and I travel alone, and they met them at every turn. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but the food is out of this world. Between the breakfasts at the Inn and the other restaurants they recommended, we have not had food that good day after day in a long time. We will be back for sure!

Pleasant stay, beautiful grounds. Quiet and relaxing.

My husband and I just returned from a long weekend in Highlands, NC celebrating our 15th anniversary. The Inn at Half Mile Farm offered the perfect setting for two sales professionals who spend far too many nights in generic "business" hotels. The property is beautiful, tastefully furnished, rich in history, and offers a variety of room options. We chose one of the historic cabins, which offered privacy and all the luxuries of the Inn. The breakfasts were surprisingly creative, delicious, and filling. But the absolute best part of our stay was the staff (including the owner). Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful - from inital inquiry phone calls to check out. All of the recommendations made by the staff; from where to dine, to where to hike/run, to where to get a massage, were informative and proved positive experiences. Lastly, Scooter is the best! Every home needs a happy dog!
