Corner Oak Manor

A great place from which to visit Biltmore and the perfect host and hostess too. Could not have been nicer, known more, or shared it more graciously. Ashville was also a fun town for dining and looking around.

Karen & Andy are prefect hosts, full of great recommendations for your trip to Asheville. The location is excellent, less than a mile from the Biltmore Village, and breakfast is truly a treat. The value provided by Corner Oak Manor can't be beat. All bedrooms have their own private bath. There's a small refrigerator in the dining area for guests use, and there's no TV, which is exactly the way it should be.

Food was great, rooms were clean and Karen was very nice. We couldn't ask for anything more.

This Bed and Breakfast is homey and comfortable in a relaxing setting. It is in close proximity to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore estate. The accomodations are ample. The breakfasts are top notch. We loved our time at Corner Oak Manor.

Lovely place - not too frilly. Warm and gracious hosts. Ideally located. Breakfast was great!

My duaghter and I went to Asheville to see an old college freind whom I had not seen in 20 years. We stayed at the Corner Oak Manor, our first experience at a bed and breakfast. It will not be our last. The room was wonderful, the host and hostess were awesome and breakfast was wonderful!!!!! We are planning a trip in the spring to Asheville and we will definitely try to stay at the Corner Oak Manor again!!!

While I fear we may not have been the favorite guests of Gary and Karen (accidentally called Gary when I meant to call the cab late at night!), they were certainly the most gracious hosts!! Gary was friendly as all get-out when we arrived 4 hours earlier than check out, and they were more than prepared with our room clean and ready, along with plenty of recommendations for shopping and sight-seeing. We stayed in the Summer room which was comfortable and spacious enough for a early-evening cocktail sit-down/relax before dinner. Though we only stayed for one night, we had enough time to enjoy the bed, which was comfortable, the shower/bathroom (EXCELLENT bath/shower supplies, loved the smell of the soap/shampoo/conditioner, and my hair felt silky and smooth), and (of course!) the breakfast. Karen whipped up some creamy eggs with tomato, spinach, and feta served with thick pepper bacon and fresh fruit on the side. A little "breakfast appetizer" of cranberry cinnamon muffins felt more like a dessert, and it's obvious that she's a whiz in the kitchen! So much thanks to Gary and Karen for being so understanding, so kind, and so patient! Next time I'm in Asheville, I know where to stay!

Very friendly and inviting hosts, small and quaint bed and breakfast, met and exceeding my expectations in all categories.

Awesome breakfast and great location in Asheville to the Biltmore house and area shops. A definite recommendation!

The room were huge and nicely decorated. Good size bathroom with a great shower. Really good breakfasts both mornings...Karen is an excellent chef! Both Karen and Andy were great hostesses, going out of their way for any request you might have...we received directions, weather reports, and general information about the area. The B&B is situated in a lovely neighborhood just a short walk to Biltmore Village.

My wife and I want to slip away for a couple of days to celebrate our 35th anniversary and chose the Corner Oak Manor! Wow what a great choice for us! Our best B&B experience yet! Wonderful hospitality...great rooms...fantastic food! It is in the middle of the city but feels remote and quiet. Andy knows everything about Asheville...great resource for those who stay with them. Karen prepares the most wonderful breakfasts! Upon another reviewers recommendation we requested the Orange French Toast one morning and WOW...so glad we took the tip! Also had a wonderful egg, spinach and Italian sausage frittata on our first morning there! You will not regret staying at the Corner Oak Manor when in Asheville, NC. It is located right less than a mile from the Biltmore entrance only a mile or so to downtown Asheville (which you must see on Friday and Saturday nights! The street scene there is amazing.)

We arrived on a cold afternoon and were warmly welcomed by our host. The inn is charming and a pleasant step back in time. The hostess served a wonderful and nutruitious breakfast. We will visit again!

My wife and I stayed in the cottage for a weekend away fromt he kids. It was a wonderful stay! Andy and Karen are wonderful hosts with great ideas on things to do and places to eat in Asheville. The cottage was extremely nice. We had a wonderful time and will stay there again!

We had 2 lovely nights at Corner Oak Manor - it was perfect! The rooms are comfy, spacious, and SPOTLESS. Karen's breakfasts alone are worth the trip! They do an excellent job of making you feel at home in their beautiful home. We will happily stay there again!

Excellent location for touring the Biltmore -- only 1/2 mile away. Wonderful breakfast, hosts, and help with directions for sightseeing. Beautiful scenic mountains in area.

Andy and Karen are rich in information to help make your stay delightful. All suggestions spot on as to where to find food and points to not miss. Breakfasts so yummy. Charming home in a delightful part of Asheville and so near the Biltmore.

A great experience. Andy and Karen are gracious. Great location and inn.

Have nothing but great things to say about this place . We stayed in the cottage and loved every minute of it! Andy and Karen are great hosts and Karen's breakfast is wonderful! Their recommendations on area dining and attractions were especially helpful. Can't wait to come back! Eddie and Maureen C. Thomasville, NC

Corner Oak Manor has been the home base for Asheville Flute Vacation, a week long music retreat, for years now. Karen and Andy have provided the perfect setting for my musical guests, several of whom request the same room year after year. Karen is a fantastic chef and can accomodate food allergies and other dietary restrictions with yummy ease. A friendly oasis in Asheville, everything a B&B is supposed to be. Thanks!

Great host; clean & nice. Breakfast was wonderful, one of the best B&Bs we have stayed in

A very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food and overall great value!

This beautiful home has a yard liek a park. We had supper one evening -- take out -- on a landscaped patio. Breakfasts were outstanding; local fresh fruit, baked goods, quiches! Karen & Andy were extremely helpful; my husband had sprained his ankle and karen furnished ice packs. Highly recommend this lovely home as a great place to stay in Asheville.

Attention to details made a great impression and sold me on B&Bs.

A lovely place to 'let down' and relax. this B&B has lovely rooms, a fabulous breakfast, and gorgeous garden surrounding the house, and warm and hospitable innkeepers.

What a great place. Karen and Andy were great hosts. Very nice, very clean, very homey. We will be back. It was amazing.

Karen and Andy were the Host and Hostess "with the mostest"... Every breakfast was a culinary adventure...beyond wonderful ! They have an encyclopedic knowledge of the area...great tips visiting the Biltmore Estate as well as a multitude of advice and travel tips for area attractions. Very close proximity to Biltmore House, Biltmore Village, and downtown. Wonderful folks....I would high recommend !

Our hosts, Karen and Andy, were perfect! They made our stay just perfect! No more, no less than our expectations, except maybe the exceptional breakfasts! Oh my, they were heavenly, very well prepared and especially careful and watching for guest dietary needs. This is what gives the 4 or 5 star hotels a run for their money! We were honored guests with personal attention and special care, no money can buy it! Thank you Karen and Andy!

We recently stayed at the Corner Oak B&B on our visit to Asheville. What a relaxing experience! Karen and Andy are very gracious, caring hosts/hostesses. The breakfast and snacks are delicious. We stayed in the Spring room which was very spacious and comfortable. The B&B is convenient to the Bilmore Village and Biltmore house, as well as downtown Asheville. I have already recommended this B&B to some friends and we plan to visit again. Watch out for a name change -- I think I remember Karen mentioning that they would be changing their name to the Asheville Corner Oak Manor.

First and foremost, Karen and Andy are wonderful hosts...very warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable/candid about the area. Karen is also brings her professional culinary expertise and imagination to the breakfasts she prepares yet makes sure it check with guests in advance about dietary restrictions. We're not talking eggs and toast here. Our breakfast consisted of shredded wheat and coconut scones with fresh pineapple jam, assorted fresh sqeezed juices including pomagrannet/cranberry, and individual egg & feta cheese soufles with grilled portabello mushrooms on the side. What a way to start the day! We stayed in a cottage suite just a few steps from the house. The suite was very cozy, exceptionally clean and bright. Great bed; slept like a log. Only down side about the cottage suite was the tiny bathroom which Karen told us about in advance , and the lack of a dressing mirror other than the small bathroom mirror. Otherwise, the suite was tastefully furnished, very cozy, and very private.

We would definitely return to this B&B and highly recommend it to others. Spotlessly clean, gourmet breakfast, beautifully presented, with warm, friendly hosts, Karen and Andy!

We had a wonderful time at the Corner Oak Manor. The gardens are lovely; the breakfasts are fantastic; the hospitality of Karen and Andy is great! We stayed in the cottage and were very comfortable there. Every morning we looked forward to another special breakfast, beautifully presented and quite delicious!! Thank you, Karen and Andy, for a wonderful relaxing stay. We enjoyed spending the week at your beautiful B&B. Thanks also for the great recommendation of the Greek restaurant. We hope to return one day and I'm sure all your guests will be glad they decided to stay at your B&B. What an ideal location also -- so close to the Biltmore Estate, the Biltmore Village, and downtown Asheville. We have stayed at many B&Bs and we really appreciated your hospitality, charming cottage, and delicious breakfasts!!

The house and room were lovely. the breakfast was superb!

What a find! Karen and Andy are consummate hosts and Karen's breakfasts are unbelievably terrific. Their knowledge of the area was helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

nice stay

one of our favorite inns!

Our stay at Corner Oak Manor was just what we were looking for - a wonderful, relaxing getaway. The Manor had great access to the Biltmore House and Village and Karen and Andy were the most hospitable innkeepers we have encountered in all our B&B stays. They were very knowledgeable about the area and helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions. I must definitely mention the delicious and beautifully presented breakfasts prepared for us. Yum! We would definitely visit again and will recommend the Manor to our friends as a warm and comfortable bed and breadfast to visit in the Asheville area.

Karen, the innkeeper, is an excellent cook. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of her excellent breakfasts. Our room was comfortable and reasonably priced. The pictures on this site don't really don't do it justice. We felt very much at home and would definitely recommend it to others.

We can't wait to come back. It's our new home away from home.

Just what we wanted. Reasonable price clean, hospitable & “homey.” Karen is a marvelous cook – very creative! The location is so convenient. We’ll be back!
