The Mimosa
Inn is an historic 10,000 square foot, 105 year old
"Plantation" style mansion with 10 guest rooms, all with
private baths situated on four park-like acres facing the
Blue Ridge Mountains . The wide-open spaciousness of the
Inn's public rooms, porches, patios & 55' front veranda make
it an ideal setting for weddings. special occasions or romantic
get-a-ways.
Conveniently located between four major cities (Asheville,
Charlotte, NC & Greenville, Spartanburg, SC), Tryon is
probably the most cosmopolitan small town in North America.
Voted one of the top ten best places to retire, Tryon’s
citizenry represents a real cross section of America with
more than half of them being originally from somewhere else.
This diversity of backgrounds and places of origin help to
make Tryon “The Friendliest Town in the South”.
A visit to the Mimosa Inn and Tryon/Polk County area
takes you back to a time when the Cherokee and
settler both competed for the land. Years before the
Revolutionary War, the Royal Governor, William
Tryon, himself journeyed to the area and negotiated
a new dividing line between the Indian and white
man. This is reflected in the names of the
surrounding mountains (Tryon Peak & White Oak
Mountain for the Indian Chief)
Today the area is renowned for its exceptional
beauty, great weather, year round golfing, and equestrian
traditions. The fox hunts, horse shows and
steeplechase events are well known through out the
country. There are many great golf courses
within a half hour of Mimosa, including new Fazio
and Palmer courses presently under construction.
