Winter is a magical time to enjoy Highlands without the crowds. Experience the winter beauty of the mountains and enjoy special weekend rates January through March.
The always breezy porch wraps around the building and allows a lush view of the property and Satulah Mountain. Sitting high on a hillside above the business district, this is a great place from which to feel like you're really in the moutains...and one reason to stay off Main Street!
After your day's adventure, soothe your spirit with a view of Satulah Mountain from a rocker or porch swing and enjoy afternoon tea, hot chocolate, lemonade, sweets, trail mix, or sherry from the Guest Pantry.
The best deal in Highlands! The Bargain Basement (not really a basement but on the lower level of a separate guest house building next to the Inn) is named in memory of The Bargain Basement in Atlanta's Richs Department store where you could find an truly good buy. King bed, Cable TV, bath with shower. Health department restrictions on our kitchen do not allow us to include breakfast with this room, but breakfast may be available for an extra charge if the main building is not at capacity. On the upper level of the Guest House is a two-bedroom apartment, efficiency kitchen, and deck. The Bargain Basement is sometimes rented as an add-on unit along with The Apartment. Call for a quote!

5 out of 5Wonderful Host and Hostess at Colonial Pines
June 23, 2011
We are in our late 60s and have stayed at many B&Bs across the country. Our experience at Colonial Pines was among the best. We read many reviews before selecting Colonial Pines and the fact Chris and Donna have owned this B&B for more than 25 years, sold us on giving it a try. We stayed in the Guest House, which is next to the main home. It was fantastic. It gave us more room than a typical B&B room since it had seperate dining and living area - it was very cozy. The location was ideal not too close to town but within walking distance. Donna is a wonderful cook and we enjoyed every breakfast along with the snacks and drinks in the afternoon. We had the opportunity to view most of the rooms and they are all wonderful. Several have TVs. So keep that in mind if this is important to you. What we liked best: There was no air condioners and you could hear nature so clearly. We slept with our windows opened and had to use a blanket one night - it was wonderful. The mattress and pillows were wondeful. We enjoyed interacting with Chris and Donna and truly felt like we were at home. What you see on their website is what you get. This was our first trip to Highlands and we plan to return at least once each year staying at Colonial Pines.

We decided to spend the evening in the Highlands and selected the Colonial Pine for our stay. We couldn't have made a better choice. It was relaxing, friendly, neat, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay again and we recommend it to anyone visiting The Highlands. We just didn't want to leave!! Bob & Harriet.

March 27, 2011
The first quarter this year has been really hectic and stressful. We knew we needed head to Highlands, NC and the Colonial Pines Inn "fix". As always, it worked. As soon as we stepped into the inn, all of our stress melted away. We have been visiting Colonial Pines Inn at least twice a year for the last 5 years. It is our mountain retreat. Each time, we are planning our return trip soon after we arrive. Chris and Donna, the innkeepers, are such wonderful hosts, making us feel at home every time we visit. They are so eager to provide the very best experience, with great success. The inn is so warm, cozy, well maintained and very clean. Donna serves to-die-for breakfasts in addition to special afternoon treats. Can you tell we like this place? Definitely a destination vacation.

5 out of 5What a Great Experience
December 06, 2010
My wife and I had never stayed in a bed & breakfast here in the States (we are retired military and frugal) until this week when we lucked out and spent 3 nights at the Colonial Pines Inn in Highlands, NC. Wow, what a great experience! The room was spotless, rustic, cozy, charming and comfortable, and the common areas (fireplace and seating area, dining room, and pantry with 24 hour snacks) were also well-appointed, homey, and inviting. The gourmet breakfasts were exceptional and the proprietors, Chris and Donna Alley, were perfect hosts, anxious to meet every need and offer great advice on what to do and see in Highlands. The rates were very reasonable, especially when compared to other nearby B&Bs. We are planning to return in the early summer and we can strongly recommend the Colonial Pines Inn without any hesitation.

Staying at Colonial Pines is always a wonderful experience. We've stayed there many times and hope to stay there again next summer.
5 out of 5Perfect mountain getaway!
November 20, 2010
Donna and Chris treat you like family at this wonderful bed and breakfast! My husband and I have been staying there for years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The house is so cozy, the rooms delightful and comfortable, and breakfasts are amazing! Donna creates the most delicious breakfast casseroles. Along with fruit, special breads and other delectable sides, your plate is full and you are set well past lunch time. (My husband and I usually just grab a treat from Kilwins about 3:00.) Donna and Chris are wonderful hosts and know the area well, so they can help you select the perfect activity of the many the area offers. Or, you can just sit by the fire, read, and enjoy cookies or other snacks and beverages that are complimentary and available 24 hours a day. When dinner time comes, they can recommend the perfect restaurant to fit your cravings. They even have a notebook of menues from area establishments. My husband and I love Colonial Pines and know we'll experience a perfect stay each time we visit. The Greens
5 out of 5WHAT A FABULOUS GETAWAY!!

Everything from the kind and warm welcome to our fabulous room were treat enough, but add the scrumpuous breakfast and magnificent view from the porch swing....Need I say more! Definitely on our list do do again and again!
