Corporate special event planners and meeting planners know that one purpose of management retreats (a.k.a. the "corporate retreat") is to give participants an environment that promotes relaxation or recreation, such as with corporate football events. However, those who handle conference or seminar event planning for executives often prefer smaller "getaway" facilities to the typically impersonal conference centers in town. Whether they are arranging structured workshops, meetings for coaching, business training seminars or they just want refreshing accommodations for their managers as they attend nearby charity golf events, the team deserves more than just meeting and conference rooms.

Reserve The Red Horse Inn for your next corporate retreat, getaway business conference or corporate meeting, and let your team discover Smokey Mountain cottages in the foothill countryside of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where the air is clean and the ideas flow. No need for an event planner to research banquet halls, either... our banquet facilities are superb. Whether you require overnight Inn room or Smokey Mountain cottage rentals to go and play by day, you need to reserve the entire Inn to implement your team building ideas or you just need meeting facilitation in our beautiful dining room for a few hours, we are at your service. The Great Smoky Mountains are calling! We are located within easy reach of Asheville North Carolina and Greenville South Carolina, as well as the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Attention all special event planners: book your important management events here, and forget the usual conference centers. Let your group experience the air of the Blue Ridge Mountains in our Smokey Mountain cottages or elegant Inn rooms... now that will be a smart piece of conference or seminar event planning, indeed!

Or, if you want the best romantic vacations or great weekend getaways (Southeast-style) for you and your beloved, your best romantic weekend cottage getaways begin right here. Romantic anniversary vacations and romantic Labor Day getaways (optionally, romantic winery getaways) need the best honeymoon rooms, and our romantic couples retreat is unsurpassed. The best romantic vacations are here for great weekend getaways, Southeast-style. Welcome home... to the Inn!

Dear Mary and Christian,

Thank you for the hospitality and courtesies extended my partners and me during our recent strategic planning meeting held at the Red Horse Inn. You and your family own and maintain a beautiful piece of property. Your facility proved ideal for our purposes. Our accommodations were excellent, the food and service were extraordinarily good. It was important for our purposes to have a quiet and uninterrupted environment, whereby our work and discussions could be accomplished.

Your Inn met and exceeded all our expectations and Christian's assistance with our computer technology problems was greatly appreciated. Also we enjoyed his presentation of wines at our cocktail party on Wednesday evening.

Our plans are to return to your facility again for another meeting. In the meantime we wish for you and yours the very best as I write on behalf of my partners.

Sincerely,


Dan F. Williamson
Principal
Alta Vista Corporation"

THE FACILITY

The Red Horse Inn is located in north Greenville County, about 30 minutes from either Greenville or Spartanburg, South Carolina, and 23 miles from GSP International Airport. Breathtaking views create the perfect backdrop for your corporate retreat or corporate meeting. The environment is designed to inspire in an unconventional way.

The Main Inn offers two large meeting rooms with generous glass doors that open onto a vine draped arbor patio. The expansive Blue Ridge Mountains can be viewed from inside as well as from the spacious patio. A garden filled courtyard with pond completes the stimulating atmosphere. In winter, a large fireplace helps to encourage imaginative thinking.

The interior will comfortably hold 18 guests for corporate meetings. Depending upon your group’s particular needs, up to 18 can be accommodated for overnight stays. Two adjoining rooms can be closed off to create two smaller break-out rooms.

THE INN ROOMS

Six luxurious Inn rooms surround the garden quad. Each offers privacy and comfort including fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, desks, sittings areas, TV with DVD players, telephones and wireless Internet.

All rooms have a built-in kitchen closet that houses a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker, offering guests the convenience of having breakfast whenever they please.

Two of the upstairs rooms provide private balconies. The downstairs room is the most luxurious room and has its own privately gated terrace.

All of the Inn rooms have beautiful mountain views. Five of the rooms have king size beds; one has a queen.

THE COTTAGES

White clapboard houses with green tin roofs dot the distant hillsides. Rocking chairs beckon to be filled by relaxing and contemplative guests.

Five of the cottages are situated one quarter of a mile away from the main Inn. The sixth sits closer to the main Inn. All offer complete privacy.

The cottages are light-filled with cathedral ceilings and large windows that frame the gorgeous mountain views. Cotton sheets, thick luxurious towels and thoughtful touches will make guests feel pampered.

Five of the cottages are equipped with telephones and dial up Internet as well as satellite TV. All have TV's with DVD players and are air-conditioned.

AREA ATTRACTIONS

There are many area attractions that are sure to please your group. Whether your group likes to golf, or perhaps practice a bit of teamwork while whitewater rafting, or horseback riding, we can arrange a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Other nearby attractions include Riverbend Sportsman's center, where your group can enjoy a day of shooting sporting clays, skeet or "in season" tower hunting. Not experienced? No problem, we can arrange for lessons. Want to play paintball? That, too, can be arranged.

Cherokee Valley and Links O' Tryon are two championship golf courses within a short drive of the Inn. Golf at Cherokee Valley and receive a discount for your golfing experience.

Within a thirty-minute drive, your group can enjoy fly fishing, hiking numerous breathtaking waterfalls or recreating in nine South Carolina state parks -- several of which have large lakes that offer activities such as boating or fishing.

Guests can relax with a massage provided by our masseuse in their room or cottage, or we can arrange a day at the spa at nearby Victoria Place Salon.

For a unique and memorable business meeting or corporate retreat, we can arrange a wine tasting, a murder mystery event or a visit to one of three local wineries.

Whatever your group would like to experience, we are in the business of making your goals a reality.

NOTE: We maintain a beer and wine license at the Inn. Therefore, we thank you in advance for NOT bringing your own alcoholic beverages of any kind onto the premises.
