Inn Lodging near SUWS of the Carolinas
“That delicate forest flower / With scented breath and look so like a smile / Seems, as it issues from the shapeless mould / An emanation of the indwelling Life / A visible token of the upholding Love / That are the soul of this great universe.” ~ William Cullen Bryant.

Our priority is to help make your stay in the area relaxing and positive
We’re very familiar with the SUWS program, having hosted thousands of parents over the years. If you have questions about travel details like how to dress for seasonal weather, where to go for dinner, driving directions, or the general timing of things, we can help.
Enjoy the following amenities as a guest at our B&B:
- Quiet, relaxing, contemporary lodging in a peaceful location
- Discounted rates on reservations of two or more nights (with the exception of holidays and the fall high season)
- Private bathrooms in all guest rooms
- Free and secure Wi-Fi
- Satellite HD-TV in all guest rooms
- Flexible check-in times to accommodate late flights or other travel demands
- Full breakfast timed to ensure that you are on time for workshops and graduation
- Information to help make your stay easy and stress-free, including driving directions, maps, restaurant recommendations, and weather forecasts
- Usually the opportunity to meet and talk with other parents who are staying at the Inn
- The option at graduation time to return with your child to the Inn for hot showers, with complimentary coffee, tea and baked goods, essentially a late check-out (up to noon) on graduation morning. Guests tell us that they appreciate a comfortable atmosphere for those first few hours of reconnecting with their child. Typically, you return to the same room, the exception being if that room is reserved by other guests for the night that you’re in the field. If that happens, we’ll simply move your belongings to an open room for you to use after graduation. The option to hold the room during your overnight in the field and check out by noon on the following graduation morning is offered at a flat rate of $100 for guests rather than charging the full cost of reserving a room on Wednesday, although you are welcome to reserve the room on Wednesday evening to guarantee that you can return to that room on graduation morning. You must indicate that you would like the room hold option at the time you make your reservation online or over the phone.

More Details

We do our utmost to provide a positive and stress-alleviating experience during your stay in the area. Please feel free to call or e-mail us with any questions.
