In this inaugural edition of the Old Edwards blog, I want to give readers a taste of what they can expect in future editions. 

Old Edwards Inn and Spa has the great honor of being situated in North Carolina’s spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains.  The indescribable beauty and rich heritage of the Highlands/Cashiers area have inspired a medley of talented artists, craftsmen, musicians and even architects of various specialties and genres.  Talented chefs and acclaimed restaurateurs have also made their homes here, sparking the opening of superb award-winning restaurants of an eclectic variety.

These are all the things that we’ve built our company culture around.  And we feel like Old Edwards Inn is synonymous with all that is great about Highlands and the Western North Carolina Mountains.  With onsite shopping and dining venues, our award-winning wine cellar, our music venues, our old-world art and architecture, and the hand-selected period antiques that grace our interiors—we are fortunate to live in a flourishing world of art, culture and leisure. 

And these are the experiences that we want to share with our readers.  Our blog will echo with the North Carolina mountain spirit—all the arts, culture, recreation, activities, lifestyles and interesting people that make this area so alluring.

I hope you will enjoy embarking on this journey with us. We look forward to sharing thoughts, ideas and musings with you. And we hope you’ll share some of yours with us as we go along.
