Colonial Pines Inn Bed and Breakfast
NESTLED ON A SECLUDED HILLSIDE just half a mile from Main Street, this gracious old home is surrounded by two acres of large rhododendron, hemlock, maple, and oak. Experience Highlands' clean, fresh air and enjoy lush views from wide porches. Sample berries from the garden, then visit the nature areas, ponds, fine boutiques and gourmet restaurants that are just a stroll away. INSIDE, THE WARMTH OF KNOTTY PINE welcomes you and blends with antiques, an eclectic mix of books and hand made accessories, a playable grand piano, and a cozy fireside for chilly mountain evenings. Help yourself to refreshments from the guest pantry, then enjoy videos, games, puzzles, and old fashioned conversation. SPACIOUS SUITES AND MODERATELY PRICED ROOMS await you with private baths and comfortable antique furnishings. A sumptuous breakfast is included and served in the dining room to the sounds of quiet classical, folk, or mountain tunes.
