Route 19 Inn

No filter. 1973 did that for us. ☀️

A guest just shared this one from his childhood — poolside at the inn, circa 1973. We've been welcoming road-trippers since 1948, and this is what it looked like then: diving board, sunshine, and the mountains doing their thing.

At least a half dozen of these iconic views in North Carolina can be experienced during your stay at Route 19 Inn.

Thanks Our State Magazine for the beautiful photo essay.

Just a reminder that we're 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the most popular scenic drive in America, managed by the US National Park Service.

Our 1948 motor lodge is designed as a tribute to the glory days of USA Road Trips and National Parks, in the pre-Interstate era when Americans were getting out and exploring like never before. It was an era with slogans like "See the USA in a Chevrolet."

So whether you're an enthusiast for cars, motorcycles or beautiful mountain views, we're your spot!
