Old Edwards Inn & Spa
“THE BATHROOM IS ENORMOUS.”
I’m texting a friend from my suite at the Old Edwards Inn and Spa, a sprawling property in downtown Highlands, North Carolina, on a warm, spring Sunday. The town, elevation 4,117 feet and less than three-and-a-half hours from Charlotte, sits on a plateau in the Nantahala National Forest. Smoke from a distant fire adds a slight haze to the sky outside, and the afternoon sunlight that filters through the plantation shutters into the bathroom seems to glow. The suite, in Old Edwards’ Falls Cottages development, is tastefully decorated— comfortable but elegant.
Carrara marble wraps around the bathroom, which is easily three times the size of the bathroom in my South End apartment. I would be content lounging on the heated, tile floor for the rest of the day, but I have a spa appointment to get to; the bathroom will have to wait.
