Studio apartments with kitchenettes in the historic Appalachian Town

Stay with us overnight or for an extended visit. Whether you are on business or have chosen Hinton as your vacation hub, make our warm, bright, comfortably appointed studios and helpful staff are your home for the duration, long or short.

Our studios come with work areas and HS internet and are centrally located on the upper floor of a 1920’s Ford car dealership, soon to be our lobby, gallery and antique store, on Hinton’s rustic and once infamous 3rd. Avenue.

The saloons and brothels that at one time lined both sides of the street are gone but the notoriety lives on still in the minds of local gentry.

Hinton in it’s heyday was the hub of a booming railroad enterprise. It’s bricked streets and replica cast iron street lamps preserve a sense of history and energy – of prosperity and drive. It’s railroad heritage is celebrated in a two weekend festival held each fall at the height of the fall colors in mid-late October. An interesting mix indeed of the old south genteel hospitality, confederate rebellion, Yankee ingenuity, Appalachian traditions and crafts, poverty, wealth, thrift and unparalleled beauty. Experience the serenity of the unspoiled forests, hardwood covered mountains, majestic gorges and at the same time taste a cultural flavor like no other.

Our operation began March 2016 when our first newly renovated Studio was brought on-line. More units will be completed shortly. It’s run by two friendly guys, Terry McIntyre and Mark Shipowick. Our goal is to give you the most comfortable, enjoyable and rewarding stay possible.
