Bent Creek Lodge

What a beautiful, restful and inviting Inn! We were traveling with friends from CO on the Blue Ridge Parkway and each of our rooms were special. The porch swings, living rooms and garden call you to relax and enjoy. The breakfast and snacks were delicious! Both Doug and Jodee were very helpful with recommendations and directions. We wanted to stay longer. We'll be back!

You will not regret your stay at the Bent Creek Lodge. It feels like a 5-star luxury resort, while maintaining a comfortable homey quality. It is beautiful, both in setting and in design. If you want privacy, you have it, but if you want fellowship, you can find it. The owners have thought of everything, and I mean every little thing. You have access to free wi-fi, dozens of restaurant recommendations, and pre-printed instructions on how to get there, keys to both the front lodge entrance, AND to your own room's back door! Coffee, tea, fresh water and ice, refrigerator, multiple gathering rooms, if you are traveling as more than a couple. There are options for reading, a cozy fireplace, billiards table and more. Breakfast is delicious, and so uniquely enjoyable, that you may want to buy the proprietor's cookbook like we did, and we don't even cook! The forested moutainside location is a veritable bird sanctuary, the parking is ample, and the location is convenient to area pursuits, but still out of the way. In-room massage therapists can be arranged, and we highly recommend doing that - ask for Jennifer, and get the best deep tissue massage you will ever have! We would choose Bent Creek again just for that experience, even if there weren't many other reasons.

Had a wonderful three days staying here. Great location and very quiet. Great breakfast and very helpful owners. We would definitely return.

Just what we were looking for, and more!! It was absolutely wonderful! We are looking forward to returning during the winter months to enjoy the winter view! Can't wait!

My wife and I stayed for just one night. The first place we stayed we were dissatisfied with so we made arrangements to stay at the Bent Creek Lodge. It was exactly what we were looking for, we should have stayed the other nights there as well. We will from now on when we visit Asheville.

We had a wonderful time and are extremely happy to have taken a leap of faith to give it a try. It had the feeling and warmth of home, but the privacy awarded by 4-star hotels.

My husband found Bent Creek Lodge. We stayed there to celebrate my birthday at the end of April, 2009. After we checked in, I couldn't wait to go outside to visit the garden and also to sit on the porch. In addition to being located close to NC Arboretum, this inn is spacious and impeccably clean. I would like to stay there again and will recommend it to my friends. Irena Brubaker

We thoroughly enjoyed our too short a time with these hospitable people. We highly recommend this lovely picturesque lodge and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!

My husband and I wanted to get away to the quiet and beauty of the Smokey Mountains area. We could not have selected a better B&B for the trip. Driving in, we were a little nervous since our directions didn't seem to be taking us too far off the experssway - but then we turned onto the Bent Creek Road and all was serene and wonderful. The house itself is wonderfully homey and inviting, while keeping an element of sophisitcation, not often seen in B&Bs. Jodee is a delight. She's also very helpful and a fantastic cook! We took walks on the property, went hiking in the very nearby arboretum and explored the Parkway, and were still centrally located to longer exploration destinations and the yummy restaurants of Asheville itself. We will certainly be back!

My wife and I definitely enjoyed our stay at the Bent Creek Lodge. The Lodge is a relaxing, secluded, well-maintained, welcoming, and refreshing experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced bed and breakfast convenient to Asheville. Doug and Jodee are very kind innkeepers and their breakfasts are delicious! When we visit Asheville again, Bent Creek Lodge will certainly be our first choice of accommodation.

Staying at the Bent Creek Lodge was my first expierence at a bed and breakfast. It was such a wonderful time! The lodge is beautiful inside and out. Jodee and Doug have put a lot of attention to the details of making there guest feel at home and accomadated with everything to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. I will definately be returning and I hope soon!! Oh and by the way, the breakfast was gourmet delicious!!

Not being much for period antiques and Victorian fluff, we chose this beautiful Inn set into a wooded hillside just outside of Asheville . This rustic lodge (designed and hand built by the owners) was very comfortable, with lots of decks to sit out on, nice ground to explore and the tasteful decorations of the "Bike room" room really appealed to me and my GF. The hosts (Doug and Jodee) were awesome and gave us just the right amount of attention. They made last min. dinner reservations for us, recommended a spa for massages, and providing us with a trail map and Mnt. biking trail recommendations so we could explore the nearby Bent Creek Mnt. bike trails. The food was great. Jodee has a culinary degree and it really showed! (fabulous brownies and banana stuffed French toast!) We cant wait to make a return trip!

We spent 2 1/2 days at the Bent Creek Lodge and truly enjoyed everything from the crisp clean rooms to the delicious breakfast and the warm friendly welcome we received from the the inn keepers. It was a wonderful experience.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Bent Creek Lodge. It was better in person than in the pictures. I just can't thank Jodee and Doug enough for their Hospitality. Beautiful views, Excellent Breakfast and Convience to everything Asheville has to offer.

We stayed her for our engagement annoucement and it was so wonderful that we are going back again soon! This place, it is wereth every dollar and then some. Doug and Jodie ARE GREAT PEOPLE!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO!!
