The inn, at 1,300 meters (4,300 feet) being located on the Eastern Continental Divide, is directly over an under-hotel spring that is the source of the New River flowing into the Ohio, Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico- and the Yadkin, flowing directly to the Atlantic.

In front of the imposing Porte cochere stood a life-sized, shimmery green horse and surrey. The owners had wearied of being reported to the local humane society for keeping their benighted animal in harness. Green paint finally convinced passersby that the horse wasn’t real. After close encounters with junkmen and pranksters, Green Park Inn’s realistic pacer remained parked and resplendent by the front entrance.
