A little help, whenever you need it
For help during your stay, call the in-house priority line at 864-735-0719. It is reserved for current guests from their day of arrival. Our main line, 864-909-1575, is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
There is no scheduled housekeeping. If you need fresh towels, trash pickup or anything else, please let us know.
Wi-Fi and television
Wi-Fi is available in the Main Inn rooms and Stables Cottage. The Main Inn connection is available to all staying guests. Springhouse, Grainary, Hayloft, Carriage Bay and Huntbox cottages do not have internet service. Find the Wi-Fi network and password in your accommodation binder.
Main Inn: TVs use internet-based television. Stables: the TV is already connected to the internet.
The other cottages receive over-the-air channels. Springhouse, Carriage Bay and Huntbox also have smart TVs that can connect to your personal phone hotspot. Streaming depends on your mobile signal and data plan. Please sign out of personal accounts before departure. If you need help with the TV, please call the priority line.
Springhouse TV: To watch over-the-air channels, change the source to Live TV Air.
Temperature and the Nest thermostat
Turn the outer bezel clockwise to increase the temperature or counterclockwise to lower it. Please do not press the faceplate. This brings up a locked settings screen; if that happens, wait about five minutes for the normal display to return.
Call Christian if you would prefer heat rather than cooling, or vice versa. Keep windows closed when heating or cooling is running.
A few helpful reminders
Our accommodations are smoke-free. A $500 fine applies for smoking indoors, and guests will be asked to leave without a refund.
The Grand Terrace and Arbor close at 11 p.m. During Wine Bar events, please leave outside food, alcohol and beverage containers in your accommodation. The terrace may be enjoyed with your own food and beverages outside event hours.
Check-out by 11 a.m.
Thank you for staying with us! Before heading home, we would appreciate your help with these few simple steps:
- Please turn off all lights.
- During fireplace season, please make sure the fireplace is completely off.
- Please hang or drape your used towels over the bathtub or towel racks.
- Please leave your key in the door.
When you are ready to leave, open your Guest Portal and select “Check out & confirm departure.” Read the instructions, settle any balance due, and complete the final Check Out step so Christian knows you have departed. Opening the page alone does not confirm departure.
If late departure has been arranged, you may leave any time before 2 p.m. Online checkout is available on your scheduled departure date. If you leave earlier or checkout is unavailable, call 864-735-0719.
Use the reservation-specific link in your email, or sign in with your last name and booking number.

Wine, music and time together
The Wine Bar is open during scheduled seasonal events, rather than daily walk-in service. If you would like a glass or bottle outside a scheduled event, ask Christian; we will do our best to accommodate.
Event tickets must be purchased separately from your room or cottage reservation. Wine, beer and snacks are sold separately unless an event listing states otherwise. Check the current calendar for dates, start times and availability.
Wine on the Terrace normally runs March through November, Alpaca Wine Experiences with Babydoll Sheep normally run March through December, and Wine Inside by Candlelight runs during the winter season.
Private alpaca experiences for couples: available outside the regular event dates, subject to availability. The cost is $100 per person. Wine and snacks are not included. Contact us to request a private experience.
Please close your bar tab in person. A 20% gratuity is added to tabs left open at the end of the night; tabs cannot be charged to your room.
Please do not bring outside food, alcohol or beverage containers to events. There is no smoking on the Grand Terrace or under the Arbor.
Enjoy the Inn
Leave a little room in your plans for the property itself: open pastures, woodland walks, river sounds, a book or the changing light across the foothills.
Guests may explore the private trails, which include mixed terrain and unmarked paths. Ask about current routes before setting out, especially after rain. Wear shoes with traction, bring water and finish while there is daylight.
Enjoy horses, alpacas and Babydoll sheep from a respectful distance unless you are attending a scheduled experience. Scheduled alpaca experiences normally run March through December; advance tickets are required. Private experiences for couples are also available outside regular event dates, subject to availability; see the Wine and events section for details.
The temporary nine-hole disc golf setup may change. Ask for the current layout. For a quieter afternoon, choose a short walk, a robe and a book, or time on the terrace.
Where to find breakfast
Cottage guests: you’ll find breakfast in your kitchen. Inn guests: you’ll find breakfast in your kitchen closet.
Enjoy breakfast at your own pace. If you need help, please call the in-house priority line at 864-735-0719.

From the Inn’s journal
Choose your kind of day
Landrum and Tryon: Begin with lunch and antique browsing in Landrum. Tryon adds galleries, independent shops and equestrian character. Pair a nearby historic stop with a meal rather than filling every hour.
Rainy-day ideas: Choose downtown browsing, a long lunch or a book in your Red Horse Inn robe. Fireplaces are available during the cooler months. Visit the Wine Bar during a scheduled event or ask about availability.
Equestrian life: Check Tryon International’s current calendar for competitions, dining and seasonal gatherings.
Hikes and mountain days
Blue Wall Preserve
Ponds, woods and a waterfall
From Pennell Road parking, the waterfall trail branches about one mile along the Palmetto Trail. The 0.7-mile waterfall segment rejoins the main trail; include the approach and return when planning your walk. Keep dogs leashed.
Table Rock State Park
About 40 minutes from the Inn
Choose the 1.9-mile Lakeside loop for an easier outing, or the 2-mile Carrick Creek loop for a moderate walk. The summit route is very strenuous: 3.6 miles each way. Check current trail access; construction may change the starting point.
Caesars Head State Park
Overlooks and a longer waterfall hike
The Raven Cliff Falls overlook hike is about 4 miles round trip. The suspension-bridge route is longer. The park describes its wilderness trails as advanced; arrive early, check parking and finish at least an hour before sunset.
Jones Gap State Park
A mountain day with river and waterfall scenery
Rainbow Falls involves a 2.2-mile climb each way and about 1,200 feet of ascent. The park considers its trails advanced. Check weekend and holiday parking reservations; download directions before leaving because phone service is unavailable in the park.
Shorter waterfall outings
Wildcat Wayside
A short stop on the Highway 11 route
The lower waterfall is close to roadside parking. The official trail is 0.8 mile round trip, with a steep stairway at the beginning. Stay behind closures and away from slippery rocks; access to the upper falls is restricted.
Pearson’s Falls & Glen
A shorter waterfall walk near Saluda
The trail is about a quarter mile each way, with inclines and steps. Advance online reservations are required, and pets are not permitted. Check the operator’s current schedule and road information before planning your visit.
Choose a route that matches your ability, bring water and suitable shoes, and check official access information before leaving. Download maps before entering the mountains. Huntbox and Stables are our pet-friendly cottages; keep dogs leashed at state and county parks and check each destination’s pet rules. Pearson’s Falls does not permit pets.
From the Inn’s journal
Vineyard afternoons
Choose two nearby stops and leave time to enjoy them. These pairings are starting points; check each tasting room’s schedule before setting out.
West along Highway 11: Eagle Mountain Vineyards (about 13 minutes), Kennington Family Winery (about 23 minutes) and Victoria Valley Vineyards (about 37 minutes). Choose two stops rather than rushing all three.
Tryon countryside: Overmountain Vineyards (about 28 minutes) and Mountain Brook Vineyards (about 32 minutes). For a longer northern outing, explore Saint Paul Mountain and Burntshirt near Hendersonville.
Vineyard tours and transportation
Van in Black is our preferred tour company when you would like someone else to handle the driving.
Top Hat Limo is another option for vineyard visits and tours. Contact the company to plan your outing and confirm availability: 864-979-2662.
