Built in 1896, the Blue Note Country Inn is situated on eight acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Part of an historic district, the farmhouse has been lovingly restored and serves as the perfect setting for a rustic yet elegant country wedding. Amazingly, the Blue Note was unharmed by Hurricane Helene. Even the wedding tent survived without any leaking or damage. Rest assured, the Blue Note Country Inn will protect your special day even if the sky pours! A testament to the resilience of North Carolina and its communities, the Blue Note Country Inn still stands beautiful and strong ... welcoming you and ready to celebrate your special day with you. Charming yet affordable, the Blue Note Country Inn is a hidden gem ready to host you with its warmth and Southern country elegance.

Having worked as a counselor for over twenty years, I am passionate about listening to people, understanding their vision, and helping them realize their dreams. I know, too, that even the happiest times in life can be a bit stressful. My goal is to provide a space where you and your guests can relax and experience all the joy of your Special Day. To commit oneself to another person in marriage is an incredibly beautiful and courageous act of love, and I am thrilled to be opening the BNC Inn. All who visit delight in its warmth and charm, and I'm certain you will too.

I'm a local photographer who recently had a chance to work with Shawn and her crew. I knew right away that our client's wedding would be beautiful. Funny, sweet, and hard-working...
, Shawn ensured Kayla's wedding was perfect.
The venue is gorgeous, with horses, a spectacular path along the pasture, beautiful light in the bride's quarters, and a picture perfect front porch.

I was a guest and member of the wedding party, so I got to stay in the farmhouse for the wedding weekend. It was glorious! The house is on a gorgeous lot and Shawn, the proprietor,...
has paid attention to every detail in the house and around the property. You first notice the beautiful house with its large front porch with swinging benches, and there are lovely flowers, plants and trees surrounding the home that offer vivid colors, shade and a peaceful setting. Inside the house, every room is beautifully decorated and furnished with antiques and decor that fit this country inn perfectly. The farmhouse kitchen is so authentic to the country style of the house with everything you need to make beautiful meals or have food catered for your event. When you go out either of the back doors (onto the side patio to the deck or out the back door to the yard), you can't help but notice the large tent set up perfectly for your event. It is surrounded by beautiful trees, particularly the magnolia trees whose giant blossoms are very fragrant. The tent is large enough for the custom-built wooden bar and a band, if you choose. The ambience at the Blue Note is everything a newlywed couple and their guests could wish for!
