Hello,

Hope your new year is off to a great start!  We've had a cold month with some snowy days.  It was a treat for us! Now our daffodils are peeking out of the ground, so it won't be long until these sunny flowers start warming things up.

 
The Oaks B&B on a Beautiful Snowy Day

Plan Some Time with Those You Love
Isn't the Oaks Bed and Breakfast in Saluda a beauty all covered in fluffy snow?  We don't look like this often, but it sure is pretty when we do!  The snow is long gone - we just had a glorious weekend of 60 degree weather.  But whether it's 32 degrees or a spring-like day, the First Peak is a wonderful place to spend time with those you love. Make it a romantic getaway at one of our top-notch B&Bs or bring the family to a large cabin where you can play games, watch movies and enjoy the fireplace or hot tub.  There's plenty to explore in the area when you venture out. Tour wineries, take a hike, visit Pearson's Falls, and check out a delicious local restaurant. Whatever you do, you're sure to feel renewed when you head home.  Check out our packages and specials.
