From the moment we pulled up till we left, it felt like we were at home. Joe and Judy went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Our next trip to Asheville will include a visit with them, I assure you. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity.
5 out of 5Best B&B ever!
January 07, 2013
Like staying at the grandparents but without the hassle! Be social or be private, all the amenities and the best breakfast ever! About 20 minutes from the Biltmore and an hour from Cherokee, closer to Asheville then it looks. Extra clean and comfortable, great hosts and no outside noises except the babbling brook. Was also the best priced B&B within 40 miles when we were looking!

We had a wonderful two nights at Rock Laurel B&B, and will definitely make it our Asheville "home!" I can't add anything much to the other reviews...the kudos are accurate, and all I can do is to reassure the reader that none of us are exaggerating! This is a warm, homey place---well worth finding "off the beaten path." Joe and Judy strike just the right tone as innkeepers... welcoming, friendly, chatty but not intrusive, knowledgeable about the area, etc. You couldn't ask for better hosts! Breakfast is a feast...the only problem is knowing when to stop! We spent a good part of each morning at breakfast and having our second and third cups of coffee---it requires real discipline to actually get up and out and DO something! And this was in the dead of winter---we can't wait to go back in the spring! We'll see you again, Judy and Joe! (Judy and Jerry Sloan)

October 28, 2012
Being new to the B&B experience I had no idea what to expect as we were driving out into the middle of nowhere. After our visit, I know we will be returning to Rock Laurel in the future! Great service, very clean and the food was delicious! We also got to spend a few hours just visiting with Joe and Judy and we felt like we were visiting our grandparents. I couldn't have asked for more and I will never opt for a hotel again if we can have the option of a B&B.

5 out of 5Awesome B&B
September 21, 2012
Joe and Judy really know how to do it right; they are so friendly and accomodating, they make you feel right at home. The Inn was very clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were amazing. We will definitely be recommending the Rock Laurel B&B to friends visiting the Asheville area.
4.8 out of 5Don't let this gem pass by
August 14, 2012
We just left Joe and Judy's place this morning, but enjoyed it so much we couldn't wait to write a review. They made us feel at home from the moment I misplaced the reservation confirmation (Joe said, "Formal to us means wearing shoes") to the goodbye hugs because it felt like leaving family. We can't imagine staying anywhere in Asheville besides Rock Laurel. We haven't eaten so much for breakfast in years and they kindly met us with a glass of wine to sip on the balcony when we returned in the evenings. We shared great conversations, but they also respected our alone time. We would highly recommend making this a place to rest during your stay, just remember to leave the "Green Room" for us!

5 out of 5Simply the Best!
August 14, 2012
There's not much to add to the other reviews as I think every positive adjective ever invented has already been used and we would just like to validate those comments! We were fortunate enough to find Rock Laurel as an alternative for our usual hotel stays and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Joe and Judy were the perfect hosts and truly made us feel at home and as if we had known them for years. We were able to meet two other great couples and shared some great fellowship with them and the animals of the house-Cricket, Gizmo and Garfield! We stayed in the Green room and it was fantastic-being from Georgia, we could not imagine not running the A/C in the middle of August but the weather was beautiful and we loved the natural breeze flowing through the room. It was very cool and temps actually dropped into the 50's one night to make it even nicer. Just to update earlier comments, there are now air conditioners in each room to add to the comfort of your stay(although we didn't need it). We will definitely return to Rock Laurel and upgrade to the Biltmore Room as they have taken that one to the next level! In closing, the breakfasts are worth the price of the room-we were there three mornings and experienced a variety of culinary delights-from the fresh fruit and omelettes to the 'country breakfast'(oh my) and Judy's cloud-like waffles! Their place is off the beaten path, but easy to find and close enough to the city that you can get there in 15-20 minutes. There's not enough room here to sing all of their praises, but Joe and Judy are first-class all the way and I would recommend anyone stay a few days at their bed and breakfast! -Russ and Vicki
5 out of 5FIVE STAR FANTASTIC
August 07, 2012
Having read the other reviews, we had high exspectations. The Holloways, Joe and Judy, fullfiled and surpassed all. My wife and I felt that we were visiting long lost friends or relatives. The room was spotless, beautiful, and very comfortable. Being an early riser, I had the good fortune to witness the fantastic breakfasts being prepared and was amazed. Having stayed at B & B's across the USA, Rock Laurel is top in all aspects. Peaceful nights, unbelievable breakfasts, and wonderful (and very special) hosts insures that we will be returning to Rock Laurel at the first chance. Robert and Lois, Ohio
