    Review 1891 Cedar Crest Victorian Inn, Asheville, NC

    Photo Album

    This elegant, spacious room has all the embellishments of its era dating back to 1891.Our Queen Anne Victorian mansion features treasured architectural details and interior woodwork carved by Biltmore's same artisans.
    Delicate, delightful detail is the key feature of the parlor woodwork. The Baroque-style mantel is surrounded by fluted columns, medallions and richly carved crests, with the original beveled glass mirror gently tilted to catch the reflection of any fine lady, past or present.The grand foyer is heavy and masculine with the entire walls and ceiling, paneled in oak. An imposing grand fireplace, obviously influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement so prevalent during the 1890's, serves as the centerpiece of this receiving area.
    After a tour of the winery at Biltmore Estate, bring back a bottle of their award-winning champagne and savor it fireside in your grand room.Just a few steps from the Mansion is the Carriage House with two guest rooms and one suite.
    The Living Room of the Carriage House is a wonderful place to visit with friends and family, perfect for up to 8 people for a girlfriends getaway, wedding party, business meeting or family reunion.This 1915 bungalow sits just up the path above our croquet lawn and English perennial gardens; a quaint haven, representative of the arts and crafts period.
    Relax on the verandah in the afternoon, with lemonade, herbal tea or cider and fresh baked, homemade cookies.Biltmore Estate is just three blocks from Cedar Crest In..
