Hillmont, also known as the Armstrong-Moltz House and Greystone Inn, is a historic home located at Lake Toxaway, Transylvania County, North Carolina. It was built about 1915, and is a large 2+1⁄2-story, board and batten sheathed square block with two rambling stone additions. It features flower boxes on all windows, balconies, and casement windows, which give an impression of Swiss-chalet design. It was rehabilitated as the Greystone Inn in the mid-1980s.[2]

The new owners renovated the Greystone Inn during the winter and spring of 2018 to bring the inn back to its former glory, and reopened the inn to the public in May 2018. The Greystone Inn is open year-round with 30 guest rooms, a lakeside restaurant, and a full-service spa.[1]
