This wonderful B & B is listed as a Highlands NC establishment. Actually it is about 6 miles from Highlands in Scaly Mountain, which is part of its attraction. It is remote, quiet, beautiful but within a short and gorgeous drive to the seven fine dining restaurants and shopping of the "big city". The property is about a year old;... More

When we planned our four day trip to the western mountains of North Carolina, we did it kind of backwards. During our search of a 100 plus mile area we stumbled across the reviews of Mountain Laurel Rest. We were struck by them, then when we saw the website we realized why. A quick call to Dave and Janis confirmed... More

On our recent visit to Mountain Laurel Rest we were surprised about the beautiful setting, gorgeous rooms, art work throughout the Inn but especially the very accommodating Innkeepeer Janis and Dave. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. We loved the scrumptious hors d'oeuvres and breakfast. We will definately return.

As a recent mother-of-the-bride, it is my latest advice to suggest the MOTB can use a post-wedding vacation.

Highly recommended! Excellent food and atmosphere. VERY relaxing. Outstanding amenities. 3-head shower and steam were fantastic! Will return. Thanks Dave and Janis!

The dining in Highlands is awesome. You have to try Flip Side (amazing burgers and micro brewed beers) We had the... More

We had a wonderful time and were surrounded by amazing breathtaking beauty. The accomodations are the best!! The gracious hospitality of Dave and Janis made us feel so comfortable and at the same time so special. Up in the mountains the scenery was inspirational and peaceful. Janis served us a delicious breakfast each morning as well as happy hour appetizers... More

Pictures and words do not do justice to this wonderful B &B in the mountains! We can't wait to go back for another stay. From the moment you arrive , Janis and Dave went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room was unbelievable- very large with a private balcany to sit and just... More
