Your search for the right Inn
is a long and arduous task, but it is only a
small part of the process necessary to be
successful, happy and satisfied with your
finial choice.
In our three year quest for
the venue that met all or most of the items
on our wish list, we found several
that seemed or were described as just perfect. However,
closer inspection raised some very
disturbing issues.
Consider the following:
·
Finding the perfect Inn
does you little good if it is located in the
wrong place. The location, area demographics
and reasons for guests to visit are major
factors that are rarely given much thought
until the process is well along and result
in a lot of wasted time. We traveled
many unnecessary miles to see properties
that a realtor or so called B&B expert
assured us were “just what you want”, only
to find few of these factors
were considered.
·
You’re not going to be
content living in an area that isn’t
compatible with your life style, no
matter how successful the business turns
out. If you are used to the arts,
entertainment, conversation and interaction
with folks that share the same interests,
education and background with you, how happy
will you be in small town America where
everyone has family that has lived on the same
land for
generations and still talk about what their
grandfathers did? You'll always be an
outsider in this type of town.
·
Getting well off the main
road has a lot going for it if you’re going
to write the next great American novel, but
having to travel a half hour to get a quart
of milk is a real downer after the novelty
wears off, and needing to send detailed maps
to prospective guests just so they can find
the place is definitely not conductive to
a successful operation.
·
Conversely, living and
operating an Inn and/or restaurant in a
major urban tourist destination is not
necessarily an attractive lifestyle for
everyone. The sheer size of a large city
makes your Inn just another number and nothing
special, you end up anonymous along with automatically providing
yourself lots of nearby
competition.
So, what does the Mimosa Inn
have to offer?
·
Location, the most
stressed term in Real Estate. Mimosa Inn is
located just two miles off a major
interstate exit on the main highway leading
to Tryon, a mile and a half from Tryon's
visitor information center, two miles from the county visitor
center, under three miles from the NC State Welcome Center,
an easy drive from three major airports and
readily accessible from
the major population areas of Atlanta,
Charlotte, Greenville/Spartanburg, Columbia
& Asheville. The Inn is less
than two miles from the center of Tryon, one
mile from the hospital & library and
sits between the Chamber of Commerce and the
Post Office.
Not at all hard to find and
exceeded our wish list criteria..
·
Size, you will find a
great many of Inn’s or B&B’s offered for
sale are already all they can ever be in the way
of profitability, expansion or what they can offer,
there’s usually not a lot of room left for change or
growth. Mimosa’s acreage, ten thousand
square foot building size and open areas
allow it to offer itself as an attractive venue for
weddings, parties, meetings, casual evenings
or a full service restaurant. You can choose
to do all or none these things yourself or
even sub-contract or lease out as an additional revenue stream.
Caterers abound who can provide quality food
and service who would love to contract
events at the Inn.
·
Tryon, probably the
most cosmopolitan small town in America,
where more than half of the residents are
from somewhere else originally, is a
charming village and historic, cultural,
visual, musical and fabric arts and crafts
epicenter, with strong equestrian and
viticulture traditions. A popular trail and sports
hub. Well known playground of Fitzgerald,
Gershwin, Niven, Sherlock Holmes, Nina Simone and
many others. Constantly listed in the ten
best places to retire, you're sure to have
interesting & friendly neighbors. Definitely not average small
town America.
Farewell Tryon:
letter to the editor Tryon Daily Bulletin
In
the spring of 2004 my wife and I
moved to Tryon. Thus began seven
years of our lives that were
nothing short of delightful.
Over those years, we met and interacted with artists, performers,
entrepreneurs, tradesmen,
shopkeepers, city officials and
countless others who rank among
the friendliest, most thoughtful
folks we have ever known.
Taking our leave now, it seems entirely appropriate to extend our best
wishes to the town and its
residents. This place really is
nearly perfect.
Thank you all for your kindness and friendship. –B.M. |
Nearly perfect. Always Tryon!

Reasons to visit,
Tryon is regarded as one of the most popular
equestrian venues in the country. The many
horse shows and events are extremely well
known and very well attended. The Blue Ridge Barbecue
Festival draws thousands to the area each
June. Golf is popular, with many
wonderful courses within a half hour, The
scenery is breathtaking, with hiking,
waterfalls, tubing and rafting available,
the many local wineries provide interesting
places for visitors, national attractions
like the Biltmore, Chimney Rock and Lake
Lure are close by. The Inn’s close
proximity to major population centers makes
it an attractive week-end get-a-way.
·
Weather, the Tryon
area because of its famous thermal belt*,
enjoys some of the best weather in America,
allowing for year round golfing and outdoor
enjoyment.
·
History, Mimosa is
extremely historic and is eligible for
addition to the National Historic register.
·
Legal, the Mimosa Inn is
correctly zoned**
for an Inn and restaurant, (and many other
commercial ventures)
not “existing, non-conforming”, or
"grandfathered" as you will find many
Inns offered for sale are, thus
restricting a lot of future activities, uses
and hindering resale. The Inn has met all required
state, local and insurance requirements and inspections and
holds a valid ABC permit.
·
Living costs, you will
find North Carolina’s property taxes and
cost of living to be extremely attractive in
comparison to most other tourist attractive areas.
·
Training, Introduction to
the area, we love this area and
won't move far away after the sale.
We will happily share our experiences and
provide local and business introductions for the new owners
as desired.
·
Price, the current
price reflects a $300k+ price reduction.
