Blue Ridge Vacations from ￥503,439

Clean and comfortable room. Did not have any options for breakfast. Decent stay.

We found this gem while thumbing through the "Select Registry of Distinguished Inns of North America from 2010. This place is fantastic. We chose this Inn to celebrate out 44th anniversary. There were two other couples celebrating theirs also. We booked the Mozart room as the other rooms and cottages were taken. The decor takes you back to the turn of the 20th century as it was designed to do when it was built in the late 90's. There is a superb breakfast served. The Inn houses its own 5-star restaurant with a cozy included bar. From the moment you walk in, the first-class staff make you feel welcome and wanted. The Sanford Spa is directly across the street from the front door, and we partook of the couple's massage. The grounds around the property are carefully manicured into a fairy-tale garden. They have a venue for wedding and other events. We were initially received at the desk by Miss Annalise. Her smile and cheerful attitude were a wonderful first impression. The bartender Michael is delightful to talk to and is an asset to the crew. The staff prepared a special table setting for our celebration and we were taken care of by the most delightful server Michi. Sarah Reid, the Desk Manager is warm and most charming as she tends to the guests. I wish to point out that the entire staff of Sandford house are the quintessential of professionalism and courtesy. It was a wonderful visit, and we most strongly recommend this Inn. We WILL be back.
