Our Rates Are Lower — Because You Deserve a Break
We know times are tough. Gas prices are up, budgets are stretched — and yet, you still deserve something beautiful. So we made a decision: our room rates are lower than they should be, because we want you to experience the luxury of The Saluda Inn without the weight of the moment.
A standard room that was $350 on weekends is now just $295. Same boutique inn. Same Blue Ridge Mountain views. Same exceptional experience — just more accessible.

Your Instructor
Miranda George
Miranda George has been playing Mahjong since December 2023. Being an only child and always loving games, she was immediately hooked — and excited to find people to keep playing with her. After taking a second 101 class with Hayden Wilson of Haymahj, they immediately hit it off, and Miranda continued to play and assist Hayden with classes as needed. In June 2024, Miranda officially became one of three Haymahj instructors. She has since taught many classes, hosted Mahjong nights, and facilitated tournaments. Through Mahjong she has formed wonderful friendships and community within Greenville, SC — and loves how the game brings people together.
