The place to stay if your ever in Flat Rock, NC

Stayed in the Woodward House, the room was charming and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Went in the off season so many amenities were not available. The grounds were well kept. We were able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and had a great experience staying there.
