We stayed 5 nights at Andon-Reid in the Grand Library suite and couldn't have been happier. The room was very clean and spacious. The california king bed was a feathertop and was one of the most comfortable we've found at any hotel or B&B. The bathroom was enormous with a great shower and awesome jacuzzi tub--pictures don't do it justice!
Breakfast was a huge 3-course meal. They accomodated lactose intolerance very easily, also. Each breakfast of our 5 nights was unique and rich, and put a traditional "bacon and eggs" or continental breakfast to shame. Make sure you save room for dessert (yes, dessert!) after the fruit and delicious entree!
The innkeepers, Ron and Rachel Reid, were nothing short of the best hosts we've had the pleasure to stay with. They are genuinely the nicest people--always looking out for you and making sure you're having a good time. Rachel had chocolate covered strawberries prepared for us when we arrived (for our anniversary), and always kept our dietary issues in mind when preparing breakfast. Ron offered us the little things we wouldn't have thought to ask for--he volunteered to snap some pictures of us before we went out for our anniversary and got us some extra large towels for our rafting trip. They were both so easy to talk to, we felt right at home.
The Andon-Reid B&B really was an incredible deal for a great location, a great room, and even greater hosts. There is so much to do within 30 minutes (Asheville, the Smokies, waterfalls, rafting, mining, etc.), that this would easily be our return spot for a relaxing vacation. Highly recommended!

Prior to my husband's deployment to Iraq, we escaped to the mountains for some relaxation. We found Andon-Reid Inn on this website and we were definitely not disappointed. Ron & Rachel welcomed us into their home, as if we were family. After 5 days of mountain air, we were sad to leave....the outstanding breakfasts, the beautiful room (Mountain View Room), the afternoon snacks, and just the warmth & coziness of their home. 15 months later, my husband safely home from Iraq, we returned to Andon-Reid Inn for a very special Valentine's weekend. Ron & Rachel were there to greet us with hugs as we returned to their home. It's nice to know we have "family" in Waynesville. Oh, did we mention that prior to Andon-Reid Inn, we had never stayed at a Bed & Breakfast? This is the ONLY one we will stay at in the future, otherwise we would be very disappointed. Relax at Andon-Reid Inn....you'll be glad that you did! :) View Reviewer Info

The Moon "North Carolina" handbook gave the Andon-Reid Inn an outstanding write-up, so we called from the Blue Ridge Parkway to see if there was an opening, and in 10 minutes we arrived. Rachel and Ron gave us a warm welcome, and offered incredible hospitality for our one-night stay. Our room and bath were comfortable, tastefully decorated, and Rachel steered us to Bogart's nearby for a late, but delicious dinner. We shared breakfast with 2 other equally delighted couples - the best breakfast ever with egg souffle, asparagus and Hollandaise sauce, a parfait of sweetened yogurt with fresh strawberries, bananas and nuts, homemade blueberry cake, and even a "dessert", along with rich coffee and juice. The house is on a very quiet street with a mountain view and is very close to a downtown filled with interesting crafts and book shops and cafes.
We'll be back. Next time we'll save some time and energy to use the professional workout facilities in the basement, billiards and darts. View Reviewer Info

My escape to the mountains of NC exceeded my dreams upon arriving at the Andon-Reid Inn. It is everything and more than one could hope for in a B&B, with its surprising combination of the usual charm and privacy that one expects, with the surprise of a grand Garden room with its massive stone fireplace and bar, and the amazing game and exercise rooms. The rooms were furnished with elegant furnitiure, and the finest linens - sumptuous comforters and pillows, and every possible personal amenity. The baths were equally elegant, with beautiful fixtures, and the best in bath linens - and anything you may have forgotten was right there. The innkeepers were friendly, gracious, and a joy to be around. The food and service was wonderful - with healthy, tasty, beautiful presentations. The little things - candies, freshly baked cookies, and a fresh pot of coffee at any time made this a place I felt so comfortable in, and one to which I will return again and again. Thank you, Ron and Rachel, for a lovely weekend! View Reviewer Info

We enjoyed 3 happy nights at this inn while sight-seeing the surrounding mountain area. Great inn, great hosts, and unexpectedly, great little town of Waynesville! Hosts Rachel & Ron were most attentive but not intrusive. Inn was very clean, quiet, & well designed (2 stairways, dedicated guest mini-kitchen, an amazing great room with fireplace, impressive bar & wrap-around windows, wrap-around porch, huge basement entertainment & workout area). Still, for us the highlight of our stay were the breakfasts - simply wonderful!

Upon entering the driving area at Andon-Reid, Rachel walked up to our car and welcomed my wife and I and all our stress went away. We toured the Inn and Rachel and Ron made sure to find out what kind of activities we were interested in.
Since we are active, outdoors people they suggested a ride into the Smoke Mountains to see the Elk come out at dusk. They gave us directions and a map. WHAT A FIRST EVENING. The ride was beautiful and seeing the elk come out of the forest was a special treat.
The White Sulpher suite was large and very comfortable. We had a private screened balcony to sit on and a refrigerator in the room to keep our drinks cold. The king bed in this room is very luxurious with wonderful sheets and a down comforter UNDER the sheets. Dual ceiling fans kept the room comfortable even during the day (we didn't need to use the in-room air conditioning unit).
The breakfasts were wonderful and plentiful AND THEN comes desert. No matter how full we were, we always found room for the desert.
Ron and Rachel directed us to interesting shops, waterfall drives and pleasant hikes in the area. Unfortunately, my wife kept me so busy, I didn't get to take an afternoon nap.
Each afternoon after we finished our hike or other activity, there were always cookies waiting in the common area. Ron and Rachel made several suggestions for dinner and each one was enjoyable.
Oh, I didn't talk about the hosts...They are extremely friendly and helpful and fun to be with. Their personalities are good fits for the bed and breakfast industry. Since we have stayed at several B&B's recently, they even asked us to make suggestions to them on how they can do an even better job in the future. I must say that was a difficult task.
You will NOT be disappointed in your stay at the Andon-Reid Inn no matter your activity level. It is well worth a trip to be pampered and let your troubles go away. View Reviewer Info

An exceptional place for details of accommodation, ambiance, views, and breakfast. Within walking distance to downtown Waynesville, including library, post office, several restaurants, many stores of interest, games, fitness apparatus, sauna, garden room all on site. Spend a day or more off road. We did! View Reviewer Info

Hosts Ron & Rachel Reid have attended to details I didn't even think of. Their 5 rooms are immaculate and beautifully decorated. We stayed in the Mountain View with claw-foot tub, fireplace and balcony - exquisite country blue and yellow colors were everywhere ! Who would think of cozy robes, a lighted magnified mirror, sit down make-up table for the ladies and tempting sweets on the counter each evening ? Rachel did ! Breakfast at their table will do you until at least 4 PM. She says, "...it's half our name after all." We're talking gourmet here: crepes, asparagus, poached pears and sweet potato pancakes, not your run of the mill scrambled eggs and bacon. I spent hours on the hearth of the big fireplace in the gathering room sitting on plump cushions...looking at the breathtaking fall foilage. She even took care of dinner reservations nearby which were excellent. When leaving, I dropped my platinum and diamond teardrop necklace on the wooden floor of my room and didn't miss it until my cell phone rang an hour down the road. Rachel had found it and was mailing it to my home. What service ! Oh yes, did I mention there were fresh flowers in the room in honor of our 40th Wedding Anniversary ? If you're looking for a B&B near Asheville - this is THE ONE ! My hubby prefers luxury
hotels but after the first breakfast Rachel & Ron's warm personalities won him over "hook, line and sinker !"

My husband and I returned last week after two nights at the Andon-Reid Inn. Rachel and Ron Reid came outside in the rain to greet us, then insisted on carrying our luggage to our room. The room was perfect---spacious, comfortable and attractive. After four weeks of babysitting two active little grandsons while their mom recuperated from surgery, we were ready to rest and be pampered. Rachel knows how to pamper! The smell of coffee brewing and bacon cooking greeted us as we awoke our first morning. Rachel is a gourmet cook and the breakfasts she prepares will keep you full way past lunch time. Ron serves the food, and has a keen sense of humor that kept all the guests smiling. After breakfast, sitting in a rocking chair on their front porch and enjoying the mountain scenery, made for a perfect morning. For dinner Rachel recommended good restaurants that were only a few minutes away in the heart of town. Since it was raining part of the time we enjoyed shooting darts and playing with their tabletop shuffleboard in the big game room downstairs. The Andon-Reid Inn was a great value in an area where B&B prices can be much higher. That, coupled with the fact that the Reids made us feel we were in our home away from home, will have us returning again soon. Because of the weather we came home with only a few photographs but with many happy memories. View Reviewer Info
