Where stress disappears ... has an address ... 30 miles west of Asheville. The Swag Mountaintop Inn is an intimate hideaway that invites you to discover the wonders of nature just steps from your bedroom. The Swag is where our favorite amenity-- nature-- meets the luxury resort. Great Smoky Mountains National Park shares an old split rail fence boundary with our inn that stretches more than a mile. The spectacular beauty of this Appalachian high country is captured architecturally in the historic hand-hewn logs and local field stone design. Our construction was inspired by the past while built for the future. The hidden and secluded mountaintop setting at 5,000' reveals to you well-marked trails the crowds have yet to find. It all starts to unfold at the bottom of our driveway where the pavement stops, our gate opens and your romantic adventure begins. The Swag -- an award-winning luxury resort-- captures the Appalachians as they used to be.
This is The Swag's 31st anniversary operating Eastern America's highest county inn.

Meals at The Swag are both social and delectable experiences. It is not unusual for lasting friendships to be forged while guests feast on our gourmet cuisine!
Breakfast specialties include our cider-simmered oatmeal, fragrant breads, fresh juices and an ever-changing variety of pancakes, omelette station, waffles, and pastries.
For lunch, we have the Wednesday chef's gourmet picnic at noon and Brunch on Sunday. Otherwise, all luncheons are either in a brown bag (if you are leaving The Swag), insulated thermal backpack if you are hiking, and a wooden picnic hamper if you want to spread a checkered cloth and eat your picnic closer to the inn.
We'll provide maps with hiking destinations clearly marked.
At dinner, the mood is elegant, yet relaxed. Our delicious cuisine is served with flair in the candlelit dining room. Vegetarian and special diet meals are available upon request.

It is difficult to imagine a more beautiful, natural setting to serve as the backdrop for the celebration of a marriage. Most weddings at The Swag are relatively small events, roughly 50 to 75 people in size (maximum of 100). The couple and their immediate families and closest friends usually reserve the entire inn for at least two nights. Other friends and family can be accommodated at nearby lodging facilities
