    My wife and I stayed here 3 nights. It was great; the area is very nice and scenic, and the proprietors are very nice people. It's near Asheville, but far enough outside the city to be quiet and peaceful. Biltmore is very close by, which we took advantage of. We highly recommend this B&B.

    The Rock Laurel is convenient to Asheville though in a quiet rural setting. The hosts, Joe and Judy, are like instant family and treat you accordingly with breakfast cooked to order-basically anything you want-and wine and snacks in the evening along with some good conversation. The room we stayed in(Green Room) was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed and a nice balcony overlooking the yard. We recommend the Rock Laurel highly.

    I stayed at Rock Laurel B&B just one night with two friends and it was such a fantastic experience! I will certainly be recommending this quaint B&B to friends and family and intend to return myself. Joe and Judy are fantastic hosts and we had such a great time spending time with them. They are incredibly friendly and fun to speak with; Joe is quite the story teller! The rooms were lovely and unique. You can tell that the B&B was built by hand with love and care. I really enjoyed the quirkiness of the decorations and the B&B itself, it is a true reflection of its lovely owners. Breakfast was unbelievable, true southern comfort food, cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!

    This was the first B&B my wife and I had been to and we will definitely come back the next time we go to Asheville. The rooms were nice, and bigger then what they looked like in the pictures. Although there is no air conditioning, it was never too hot in our room even though it reached more than 90 degrees outside. This is because our room, and I believe all the rooms, have opposite facing windows get get a very nice breeze. Joe and Judy were delightful and the breakfasts were large, varied, and delicious. If you're debating on whether to book this B&B, I can assure you that you'll be happy with staying here.


    You'll feel like part of the family!!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of staying with Joe and Judy over Memorial Day weekend. We truly felt a part of the family! To quote Joe, "Formal around here means you have your shoes on." That pretty much sums up the cozy, congenial family envirnment you'll find at Rock Laurel B&B. The room was spacious and the bed and linens were so soft and comfy. We had the best night's sleep drifting off amongst the cool breezes and relaxing sounds of the brook outside our room. The breakfast was delicious - hearty and plentiful. If you walk away hungry, it is your own fault!! Judy's homemade biscuits, grits, country ham, sage sausage, fresh fruit, waffles, blueberry compote...oh and I can't forget Joe's baked Irish tomato!! Yum!! We have stayed in over a dozen B&B's and both agree that Joe and Judy are hands down the best hosts we have had the pleasure of staying with! Rock Laurel B&B is truly a little piece of heaven you shouldn't miss! ~Shannon Clayton
