    We just spent an amazing weekend at the Inns beautiful mountain retreat. Upon our arrival we were impressed with the grandeur and decor of the Inn itself. After visiting with the warm and welcoming owners we then followed Ron to their cabin in the woods, which was a mere 15 minute drive away. I fell in love at first sight! It was a quaint cabin overlooking a creek, settled right into the forrest. Once inside we were awed by the beauty and the rustic furnishings. I was as excited as a child with a new puppy! Everywhere I turned I was squealing with delight! We spent endless hours in the PRIVATE hot tub and took full advantage of the furnished kitchen. Lyn has gone to great lenghts reviewing local eateries. Her reviews had us truly entertained! We read them all, and they were plentiful! It was wonderful KNOWING we would have a great dining experience, as this was our first trip to Asheville. No where else have we received such sought after advice! My only regret is being unable to join the owners for their social hour, we were still pruny from the hot tub! The location could not be more convenient. With the feel of being completely secluded, you are but a short drive (6 minutes) to dining and shopping and only a little further to downtown Weaverville with all of it's charm. I can not wait to visit again!

    Superb Inn for touring Asheville

    Where can you go for an unsurpassed B&B experience including inspired conversation with the architect who consults with the owners? It's exciting to be part of relaxed talk centering around restaurants, architecture, history and the ambiance of Asheville. This happens every late afternoon as the B&B house guests return from their fun-filled, busy days in the area. Guests from around the country (and beyond!) gather to share stories of what they've done that day along with plans for the next. The architect drops in occasionally to talk about his ideas for the house (although we don't know what the owners can improve upon, it's already perfect!) The rooms are so well-appointed and comfortable that you'll want to stay at least 2 or 3 nights. Breakfasts are gourmet and served in the beautiful large dining room, full of period furniture. There are many adjectives to describe bed and breakfast experiences. This one tops them all.

    Wonderful breakfasts

    My husband and I just got back from a weekend getaway. We have stayed at serveral B&B's in Asheville over the past few years and really loved this one! The location was great, about a 15 minute walk to downtown. The rooms were lovely and the breakfasts were the best! The inn was built in 1900 and has lots of character! I would stay here again!

    We just left the charming 1900 Inn on Montford after a lovely stay with delightful innkeepers. Our room, the Fitzgerald, has recently been redone and was very attractive and comfortable, with quite the stylish bathroom. Our breakfasts were delicious, the amenities (with drinks and snacks always available) were top notch -- but I think we appreciated the caring, knowledgeable and entertaining innkeepers the most. We will definitely be back.

    Great for us, with a new puppy!

    We stayed here because I liked the idea of the private garden area outside our room. This is unusual and very nice. It worked out well for us with a 6 month old puppy. The rooms were great and the landscaping was a nice surprise. There is a lot to see and do in Asheville and we decided to extend our stay an extra day, which we were glad to find out was no problem. The only problems we had were minor, the shower drain was slow so it tended to fill with water while you were showering and the scheduled breakfast delivery was a little late for my tastes. Overall it was a great stay even if a little high priced. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a great Asheville getaway!
