Ridge Mountains. The site is famous for its many champion trees,
including the largest
Mimosa Silktree (Albiziz julibrissin)
growing in the USA. The Inn is also home to many
Harlequin Glory
Bower (Clerodendrum trichotomum) flowering shrubs that blossom
July through October providing a wonderful light fragrance
throughout the summer and fall seasons.

the web for Tryon accommodations and only after close inspection find that many of the Inns / hotels listed are
actually up to 30 miles away. Those
who fail to closely inspect the
search results before making their reservations are occasionally
unpleasantly surprised.

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. You can
Golf all year long at the many great golf courses within a half
hour of Mimosa, including a great Fazio and a new Palmer course.
