The Swag

Spectacular place to stay where everyone makes you feel truly special and so welcome - highly recommend! My husband and I stayed for our anniversary and the staff saw to all of our needs. The rooms are phenomenal and the food is Michelin star quality.

There are certain places on this planet you must see.....hidden gems that are not easy to get to but once you arrive, you know its a unique environment. We just had dinner last night and we can honestly say that we have never experienced a more gracious waitstaff and management team. Every thing was top notch. Views to die for with amazing farm to table food. When the chef talks to you for 15 minutes after the meal you know its not your run of the mill location. Thanks to Hannah for getting us in an being an amazing host.

A very unique property high up on a mountain top. Initially we were a little unsure but we quickly came to appreciate the location, the hotel and the staff. Everyone mingles during the hors d'oeuvres hour before dinner and it is so fun to meet the other guests. World class meals, lunches packed daily for hikes and picnics. Not dressy or ostentatious but very North Carolina chic. Breath taking vistas everywhere. Beautiful, not too difficult trails and walks that reward with unbelievable views. A staff that from the greeter to the general manager that is friendly, helpful and welcoming. Talking about the property compared to other Relais & Châteaux properties with another guest, I think he summed it up perfectly "this is just FUN"! It is and we have already booked to return.

This was our third visit to The Swag and it was as amazing as all of the trips before. This time, my wife and I brought both of our parents with us, and we all stayed in The Trinity cabin. What an incredible place to spend a few days. The staff is warm and welcoming at every interaction, and the food is absolutely top-notch. Be sure to spend some time having a cocktail at the bar with Roderick. He is a master of his craft and always a pleasure to talk to. We are looking forward to our next trip to this beautiful place.

This was our 8th visit to the Swag and we’re already thinking of when the 9th will be. A truly unique place in every way. Great staff , food , accommodations, spa , hiking , etc etc. There are no shortcomings. Do yourself a big favor and plan a visit to the Swag !!!
