The Red Horse Inn in Landrum was recently chosen by AAA inspectors as one of the Top 10 Places to Enjoy Fall Colors.
Inspectors said they chose the inn, which is located on more than 200 acres at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, because it “offers breathtaking views of the natural surroundings, rock formations and foliage.”
Other top 10 inns were located in Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, New England, Minnesotta, British Columbia and Canada.
Peak foliage in the Upstate is from the second to fourth week in October as a general rule of thumb but will continue into November.
“The scenic views here are one of our greatest selling points. It enhances the overall serenity of the inn. We’re always at capacity during foliage months – but it’s nice now that the world knows our little secret,” said innkeeper Mary Wolters.
The inn features six private cottages and six rooms as part of the main inn.
