Circa 1896. Voted as the best B&B in Asheville, Black Mountain and all of Western North Carolina for the past six years, this three-story inn sits on one acre of pristinely landscaped grounds. Located just 14 miles east of Asheville and the famous Biltmore Estate, discover why the Atlanta Journal named this inn one of its "Top 12 Favorites in the Southeast." Elegant, air-conditioned guest bedrooms exude an inviting ambiance. Many feature fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Each morning sit down to a heaping Southern breakfast that is sure to satisfy. Stroll through gorgeous gardens with a view of the mountains or relax in front of a roaring fire. Red rockers line the expansive wraparound porch, a perfect spot to enjoy tea and hand-dipped macaroons. Special dining packages are available year-round which include homemade specialties and award-winning desserts.
