    We visited for 4 nights and found The Oaks to be a wonderful respite from the rush & demands of daily life. We were greeted each morning by a wonderful breakfast and beauty everywhere. The gracious hosts were delightful. We will definitely go back!

    Three of us were fortunate to spend one night in this "elegant lady" in the Turret suite after a long day touring the Biltmore. We were greeted by Dale and were told of their favorite place to have pizza--a very good recommendation. There were rumors of bad storms that night; but we were safe in the hills. Many near were not so fortunate. In the morning we relaxed on the porch enjoying the peace and beauty with coffee or tea before our delicious breakfast. We had to leave too soon as we had more adventures ahead. Thanks Dale and Donna for all the conversation, being great hosts, and making us feel welcome in your home. A great place to go back to sometime.

    Located in the historic section of Saluda our 5 night stay at the Oaks was a welcomed respite. We stayed in the Green Room; the bed was so comfy, the linens were crispfully clean. We even had a spacious bathroom equipped with Egyptian Cotton bath sheets. Our hosts, Dale and Donna were accommodating in every way. They are very knowledgable in all things Saluda. The hearty gourmet breakfasts were presented beautifully and with great care. We rate our Oaks experience A++++++.

    My husband surprised me with a weekend at The Oaks in Saluda. What a delightfully charming place. Its beauty was warm and inviting as well as the hospitality shown to us by Dale and Donna. I only wish we would have had more time to spend lingering on the beautiful porch and enjoying the peace and tranquility. Breakfast was amazing! We hope to return soon!!
