4.6 out of 5Bent Creek Lodge - takeoff point for the Blue Ridge and Mt. Mitchell
September 18, 2012
My brother and I love to cycle and since he lives in NJ has never cycled on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We put together a plan to ride the Blue Ridge and found Bent Creek Lodge. Perfect in every way! Our wives spent a full day at the Biltmore Estate while my brother and I - joined by my son from Charlotte - rode from the Lodge and cycled to the top of Mt. Mitchell and back - about 90 miles and 10,000+ feet of climbing! Dinner in downtown Asheville followed a perfect day. Can't wait to come back and try it again. Might try our mt. bikes next time after listening to Jodee and Doug describe the trails! We stay at about 10 B&Bs every year and this is certainly one of the great ones! Quiet, spotless, comfortable and accessible to Asheville and all it has to offer.

No, and I mean NO, detail left to chance. Excellent directions, help in locating restaurants and events, hospitable hosts, fabulous breakfasts, beautiful woodland locale, not too far from anything, warm fireplace - oh, well, you get it - an awesome experience! We're going back as soon as we can.

The Bent Creek Lodge is located in a wonderful wooded setting. The back door to our room led out to a wonderful covered porch that revealed views of the hilly terrain and mother nature at her best. One morning we took a hike on a trail accessed right off the back porch - be prepared for steep ups and downs and wear appropriate shoes! Our room was small and did not have comfortable chairs, but there was plenty of seating and space in the lounge areas by the fireplaces downstairs and on the main floor. If you are a light sleeper you might be easily disturbed by noises coming from adjacent rooms (some thought should have been given to soundproofing the rooms) and I was awakened on 2 separate nights by loud snoring coming from the room next door. The breakfasts were good but I prefer more savory items than sweet - but I'm sure it is difficult to please everyone all the time. Overall, a wonderful place and if I ever return to Asheville, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the lodge again.

On our inagural "empty nesters" Fall leaf trip, we stayed at three different places along the Blue Ridge Pkwy, and this was by far our favorite. So much so that we think this will be our base of operation next year. The BRP is sooo close by, we enjoyed our Indian dinner at Mele in downtown Asheville(directions given by Doug & Jodee), and everything was absolutely relaxing and enjoyable. The Lodge is peaceful, clean, well-appointed for the atmosphere, the food was great, and my husband tried to overdose on Jodee's Reverse Chocolate Chip cookies the afternoon we arrived. It would have been great if they served dinner too, but the short trip into Asheville was no problem. We stayed in the Cherokee room, and it was very quiet and comfortable. We will be back.
