The inn’s history
1920's-era view of Balsam from the inn.
The Balsam Mountain Springs Hotel opened in 1908, with 100 rooms and corridors built extra-wide to accommodate steamer trunks of guests. Visitors arrived at the highest depot in the east by passenger rail, and disembarked at the station below for a slow stroll up to the inn.
