The staff at the Pine Crest Inn was very attentive and friendly. The room and grounds were beautiful. The food at their restaraunt was delicious, though the portions were a little small for the price. We had a wonderful stay!

The Pine Crest Inn is a wonderful inn in a charming town in the foothills of the mountains. Everyone was very friendly and nice- the wait staff and the innkeepers! We hope to return for more pampering and relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch and walk to the town for lunch and travel to Saluda for dinner!
5 out of 5What a Fabulous Inn!
May 06, 2012
This inn was the best I've ever stayed at. It was a beautiful little village of cottages. And the breakfast was wonderful! Bacon, grits and eggs, YUM! They even let us take our last breakfast to go because we we're catching a plane in Greenville. The front desk was amazing and gave us anything we needed, silverware, etc. to take back to our room. They got whatever movies we wanted to watch. The main is house is beautiful and very welcoming. Thanks for the sherry and port and great cookies. We stayed in the Kent room which was an upgrade than what we originally booked, a very nice surprise. I can't say enough how wonderful everyone was and how beautiful this property is. We loved playing bean bag toss in the front yard and just walking around the property. Stay here!! You will not be disappointed. I am definitely coming back here.

from the moment you enter the main building to checkout you are made to feel that you are part of the family not a guest. The rooms are spacious and comfortable,the grounds are just beautiful. The staff here is so pleasant and warm you hate to check out. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation its everything you could ask for and much more

3.6 out of 5Our xmas getaway was great!
January 03, 2012
Our xmas stay in swayback cabin was pretty perfect...we really loved having our own little "cabin" to make our home for a couple of days yet close enough to the main inn, in case we needed anything. Swayback was adorable...with a perfect fireplace with plenty of wood to keep us warm all weekend! I do wish the restaurant at the inn was a bit more appealing. It was good, but nothing too special either + I heard that they no longer serve dinner at all. We didn't know this until we got there so were a bit out of luck to find dinner, especially over the holiday. I would love to see the inn invest in their restaurant - a creative chef + more options would really bring it to the next level. I could visualize a wedding or reunion here...my husband + i even talked about renewing our wedding vows there someday - plenty of space for lots of people + beautiful surroundings! We definitely look forward to returning to Pine Crest in + to our little Swayback! DNA

My visit to this Inn was on the way to Asheville to take the Christmas tour at Biltmore. My stay trumped that tour! Wish I had done the Biltmore first. I had more fun in Tryon - the food, wine and cozy room ended up being the highlight of this trip to North Carolina. If you are into amazing B&B's, this place is such a find in a beautiful location at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the Select Registry Distinguished Inns of North America, this property was once a favorite a favorite of F. Scott Fitzgerald & Ernest Hemingway. If you are a wine and food lover, you are in for a treat at Carter's. This small exquisite restaurant is a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence recipient at the second tier level, which is much rarer than the first tier. I was so surprised to find such an extensive wine list and such an outstanding restaurant in a location that is not in a big city.
