Well worth the experience
A welcomed unique experience compared to having reserved the night in a chain hotel! Huge suite; lovely setting; relaxed; full breakfast included. Also enjoyed a fine show at nearby Flat Rock Playhouse

Beautiful property. Very friendly and accommodating. So quiet and comfortable. The seasons restaurant was delicious. One of the best we have been to. We went both nights. A little pricey but worth it. Service and food was the best. I had pork chop, next night salmon. The pool was very nice too. Felt great on a hot afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.

The place to stay if your ever in Flat Rock, NC
Stayed in the Woodward House, the room was charming and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Went in the off season so many amenities were not available. The grounds were well kept. We were able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and had a great experience staying there.

Charming Resort
This was a calming and peaceful stay, everyone was so gracious. The room was country charming and very clean. The grounds are beautiful, and restaurants and store is close by. The restaurant on site was fantastic, the buffet for New Year’s Eve was wonderful and so is the complimentary buffet breakfast. We will definitely be back

Home away from home
We have been staying here regularly as our child is in school nearby. It feels like a little private club in the woods though still quick access to town and 25 min to Asheville.
