Where Every Meal Feels Like Grandma’s Kitchen

At Blue Mountain Mist, we believe meals are more than food — they’re moments of comfort, connection, and Southern hospitality. Much like the feeling of stepping into Grandma’s home, our guests are welcomed with the simple joy of homemade flavors, warm smiles, and thoughtful touches. From our chef-prepared breakfasts to our intimate evening dinners, every meal is crafted to make you feel cared for, relaxed, and part of the family.

Included with your stay

Breakfast

Are you ready for the most delicious Southern breakfast of your life?
Start your morning with fresh-cut fruit salad topped with our signature homemade cream topping. Pair it with your choice of coffee (regular or decaf), milk, water, sweet or unsweet tea, hot tea, or even soda.

Our chef’s breakfast follows the fruit course and is served family-style in the main dining room at 8:00 AM or 9:15 AMYou can also have it delivered to your cottage 9:45 AM – 10:15 AM

Every breakfast includes:

  • An egg dish

  • A breakfast meat

  • Fresh bread

  • And often a hearty starch

You might enjoy: pancakes, sausage & egg quiche, stuffed French toast, Southern biscuits & gravy, grits, home fries, ultimate omelets, ham & potato casserole, scrambled eggs, sausage links — or even a classic bowl of cereal if that’s what “tickles your fancy.”

No one ever leaves hungry… some don’t even get hungry again until dinner!

Temptation Station

As Kolette always says, “Temptation Station is the perfect name.”
Each evening around 6:30 PM, we set out two to three homemade desserts—always fresh, always from scratch, and always irresistible. Whether it’s a slice of warm cobbler, a freshly baked cake, or a plate of soft cookies, it’s the kind of treat that brings guests together at the end of the day. And yes… the freezer is always stocked with ice cream to make it even better.

But Temptation Station is more than just dessert. It’s also our all-day refreshment hub, where guests can help themselves anytime to:

  • Complimentary bottled sodas

  • Fresh iced tea

  • A wide variety of herbal and specialty teas

  • A full coffee bar with flavored creamers

  • Seasonal beverages (like hot cider or cocoa when it’s chilly)

It’s a cozy, welcoming space designed to feel just like home — the perfect spot to unwind, grab a treat, sip something warm, and enjoy a peaceful evening at Blue Mountain Mist.

Group Lunches & Dinners

Blue Mountain Mist is a beautiful setting for hosting group meals, offering chef-prepared lunches and dinners for gatherings of 6 to 40+ guests.
