    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.

    Our stay at this B&B was exceptional. The Lodge was beautifully decorated with special touches in every room from the individual bedrooms to the main congregating room. The landscaping is fantastic. The breakfast was something to look forward to each morning. Every breakfast is unique. The Lodge owners were knowledgeable of the area. The only negative item is that voices can be heard between rooms, and since the building has three levels, noises carry from the main congregating room to the bedrooms.
