Great place to stay. The Bowman family is extremely accomodating. The room is just as advertised on the website. The dinner was very good, the ribeye i had was perfect. Breakfast was unbelievable!! would have loved to stay another day or two. Would caution you of one thing (which bothered my wife, but not me) there is no TV in any of the rooms. A TV is available in the den downstairs (old TV). Other than the TV i would recommend this B&B to anyone. I will definitely be heading back.

Ha! 46 great reviews and only one not so great, and that person clearly would not have been pleased with anyone or anything! I concur with the 46. I liked the fact that it felt like I was being invited into a friends' home and told to make myself at home. One of the first things Jenny told us is that they say a blessing over the breakfast before it was served. I knew immediately that this was not only proprietors that we could trust, but a family who cares people, especially their guests. And we were cared for very well. My wife and I loved the room and took some time to look at other vacant rooms to decide which one we will stay in the next time we come to visit. It would be nice to stay in all of them, eventually! The food was excellent, so much so that I bought their cookbook as a stocking stuffer for my wife. (Please don't tell!) This was my wife's first experience with a Bed and Breakfast, and my best experience. We are well pleased with our visit with new friends, Doug and Jenny.

Wow! Really that is all that I can say about our stay. Incredibly hospitable hosts who went out of their way to be available but out of the way. I can't say enough about the food, simply some of the best cooking I have ever had. Every need was met efficiently, and Doug even took time out of his very busy day to spend an hour, we asked for 15 minutes, blessing us with his wisdom. Our first experience with a bed and breakfast and it was a complete winner. Doug and Jenny have made B&B converts out of us. Thank you and your family for a wonderful weekend.

My wife and I have visited the Asheville area and Biltmoreen Estate several times over the past three years. This year we took my son and our daughter-in-law and both loved the inn. Breakfast is included and is the best in the area and like any lodging... the rooms get more impressive with price. When you stay at the Red Rocker Inn the unassigned room's have open doors so it's possible to determine where you might stay on a future visit. We really enjoy the Red Rocker and will return again.

My sister & I stayed at the Red Rocker Inn 3 years ago and I can't wait to go back. I loved everything about this place. Each room is decorated with a 'story to tell' - so much fun!! The evening meals - what can I say about the evening meals - it was hard to decide on what to try - and all choices were amazing and delicious. I've decided that I want to move to Black Mountain - and be a permanent guest in one of the rooms. Relaxing, fun, just a great B&B. I'll be back!
