Located about 50 miles southwest of Asheville, North Carolina, and perfect for any Fall retreat, the Greystone Inn offers accommodations, activities, rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation found in any upscale luxury destination. With nineteen consecutive AAA Four-Diamond Awards and the highest Carolina mountain lodging destination rating from the Conde Nast Traveler, the Inn maintains its historical standing on the 614 acre Lake Toxaway.

Originally built in 1915, the six-level, 16,000 sq. ft. Swiss-styled mansion was owned by the Armstrong-Moltz famiy for many years. Mrs. Moltz lived on the property until 1963 before selling the home to the Lake Toxaway Company. Much later, in 1984 the current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Tim Lovelace, formed a partnership, acquired the old home and channelled over $5 million into the property in an effort to restore and furnishing the home with antiques even Mrs. Moltz would have loved. After completion in July 1985 the old Moltz Mansion reopened as the Greystone Inn.

Rest

Cathedral ceilings, private porches, gas fireplaces, and lakeside views are just some of the many options guests may choose from during their stay at the Greystone. The Moltz Mansion itself houses 19 individual guest rooms - each decorated and furnished with antiques and reproductions. Each room comes complete with a Jacuzzi. In 1988 the Lovelaces opened the newly built Hillmont, a three-story, 12-room guest facility as part of the Greystone Inn property.
