Insight: Stroke of Destiny

December 2018

Marc and Marianne Blazar spent three years searching for “the perfect B&B”—and they found one, tucked into our own Blue Ridge Mountains.

It is no secret that Western North Carolina is where some of the nation’s most beloved lodging and dining options can be found. Once in a while, those options even merge—as in the case of the Orchard Inn, located just a little over a half-hour south of Asheville, in Saluda. At the Inn, guests can choose between a cottage or a bed-and-breakfast room, relaxing in front of fireplaces and on private decks, enjoying amenities such as whirlpool baths and a spa, taking in the beautiful mountain views, and dining at their acclaimed farm-to-table Newman’s Restaurant. Rumor has it that those guests will be making reservations for a return visit to Orchard Inn before they have even checked out…

“We purchased the Orchard Inn,” recalls co-owner Marc Blazar, “on November 1st, 2010, after having criss-crossed the country for three years in search of the perfect bed-and- breakfast for us. We kept returning to the greater Asheville area and eventually fulfilled our destiny here in Saluda.”
