    We had a family reunion at the Acorn B and B. It was perfect. We had the entire downstairs to ourselves - totally private with all the comforts of home and then some! Gene and Bob are wonderful hosts - and the breakfasts are five star. This was the second time we stayed at the Acorn B and B and it certainly won't be our last.

    Gene and Bob were the perfect hosts, and their home was peaceful, well-appointed, and very comfy. The Magnolia Room is wonderful. The sheets are the best I've slept on! The food is gourmet. I will definitely recommend to anyone.

    Our Nov. 10 & 11, 2011 stay was prompted by the greatly appreciated "B&Bs For Veterans" offer. This particular inn was chosen after reviewing the several participating western North Carolina B&B web sites. We were not disappointed! The innkeepers, Gene and Bob, couldn't have been more gracious, nor the B&B lovelier. The expertly decorated rooms were cozy and well appointed. And the breakfasts were unique, absolutely delicious and expertly prepared by Gene (a former Navy cook). As all of the guests during our stay were military families, the conversation around the table was both lively and inspirational. The Acorn B&B is ideally located for visitors wishing to tour the world famous Biltmore Estate. This amazing facility is an easy 15-minute drive from the Inn. For fly-in visitors the Asheville Airport is just five minutes away; and, in spite of its proximity, no aircraft takeoffs or landings were heard. Gene went out of his way to make us feel welcome from the minute we pulled into his driveway until our departure two days later. We can't wait to view the picture Gene took of us at his front door minutes before bidding each other adieu! Would we recommend the Acorn B&B to others? In a heartbeat! Footnote: Due to local signage authorization difficulties, the inn was somewhat difficult to spot from the road in spite of the provison of GPS coordinates in its web site. However, a call to Gene garnered easy-to-follow directions.

    Acorn B&B was our second experience and by far the best. Every meticulous detail and exceptional service far exceed that expected of this price range. Chef Gene is amazing, his thoughtful combination if fruits, pastries and entree's ensured an exceptional breakfast experience. From the time you arrive you truly feel that you are at home. I would definetly stay again...
