  "So many cookies,
so little time..."

-- Ida Shelton

Imagine breathing clean mountain air while you relax on a hammock and listen to the sounds of gentle music... or sit by a crackling fire and munch warm freshly baked cookies after a healthy mountain hike... or relax in a rocking chair on the deck after a therapeutic soak in the hot tub or identify the over 40 species of birds that visit our backyard.

Your own private retreat from the workaday world, the 4-1/2 Street Inn offers a secluded sanctuary that will revitalize you, melt away stress, and pamper you beyond your imagining.

We invite you to take a journey back to a simpler time, when the faint rustle of leaves from a quiet breeze lulled you to sleep and the melodies of songbirds awakened you in the morning.

A perfect combination of romantic country charm and understated elegance, the 4-1/2 Street Inn is designed to be your home away from home... and then some.
Ten unique and beautifully decorated guest rooms are appointed with luxurious Charisma bed and bath linens and fluffy terrycloth robes. Handmade quilts provide cozy comfort when there is a chill in the mountain air.

Guests are treated to a hearty gourmet breakfast, which features sumptuous dishes such as French Toast Strata with Apple Cider Syrup, Ginger Scones, Frittatas, Cheese Grits, Corn-Apple Pancakes and homemade Granola, plus fresh juices, coffee and assorted teas.

No wonder we have been told we serve the best breakfast in the area!

Allow yourself to be tantalized by the aroma of our delicious home made cookies - you will be convinced that your grandmother is in our kitchen whipping up a batch. Go ahead and indulge yourself.

Inn exterior.Wine and hors d'oeuvres are served every afternoon.

Enjoy getting to know other guests... or just retreat into your own quiet spot while you sip on a glass of wine and munch on gourmet tidbits.
