Our Story

In 1995, Mary and Roger Wolters found a sprawling piece of land that would fulfill their dream of building a secluded retreat where guests could rest and recharge their passions for their own creativity, individuality, and relationships. The Wolters purchased roughly 200 acres and cleared 34 of those to construct that very retreat which would become known as The Red Horse Inn. As the Wolters began clearing the land, they discovered just how magnificent the views actually were; providing sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains’ foothills.

A New Chapter

After over two decades, Mary and Roger decided to embark on their next adventure in retirement. They are so pleased that their son, Christian, took over the family’s business. Christian graduated from the College of Charleston with a degree in psychology and he received his master's degree in human resources development and management. After college, he worked at South Carolina’s renowned Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms, as well as at the world-class Stowe Mountain Lodge in Stowe, VT. He returned to Landrum, SC to work at the family business. In 2018, Christian became the Inn's owner, carrying forward the legacy of warmth and hospitality that had made the inn a treasured part of the community.
