The Great Hall has a massive stacked stone fireplace surrounded by cozy leather furniture, a game table and a 180 degree view of the valley farmlands and distant mountain ranges.

We stayed only one night in at this beautiful lodge. I would highly recommend it. We will go back in the future when we have more time. The Gooseberry room has a beautiful view of the valley from your room and small deck.

May 06, 2013
A real treat for the nature lover. Scenic mountain view and wonderful birdwatching right from the back deck of the house. Large, very comfortable rooms. Very, very quiet. Only 15 minutes from the conveniences of Asheville. Innkeepers are very cordial and readily available for conversation or any needs. Little extras like afternoon wine & munchies, sitting area with fire pit, hiking trail and a very friendly canine welcoming crew are wonderful touches. Breakfasts are hot & yummy. We chose the Blueberry Room. Large room & comfortable w/balcony. Only drawbacks were regarding the attached bathroom. Toilet was a bit loose & vanity mirror was positioned very low. The one-person jet-tub had a showerhead on a hose but was difficult to use without splashing water everywhere including the floor. We knew about the tub setup going in but didn't think we would have such a problem. Will choose a different room with an enclosed shower next time.

Without a doubt the nicest B&B in the area! The food was excellent. The views are breathtaking. A birdwatchers dream! The accommodations were beyond what we had hoped for. We have visited several B&Bs in the NC mountains, but the Wildberry is by far the best! We were greeted like family on the first day, and sent off like old friends on the last! We will be back! Thank you Ken, Glenda, Pat, and Bob for such a nice visit!

Very nice owners that go above and beyond in their service. Great view from the deck and a most pleasant place to stay. Very nice breakfasts. Would definately stay there again. Highly recommended if you are visiting ashville and want to see Biltmore.

Wildberry Lodge is beautiful and inviting. The staff is friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.
4.4 out of 5Fabulous Views and Relaxing atmosphere!!!
April 17, 2013
This is an awesome B & B if you need to relax and want to hang out in a comfy spot. If lunch, dinner, and entertainment are not important to you, this is a great place, but if you travel 20 or more minutes, you can get a great lunch or dinner and enjoy indoor/outdoor activities. There are so many things to do that are relaxing at the B & B, that you don't have to leave. Ken, Glenda, and Pat are great to talk with. The view from all parts of the B & B are tremendously beautiful.
5 out of 5Definitely coming back!

We stayed 2 nights in the Strawberry Room on our anniversary weekend. We loved every minute of it. The queen bed was very comfortable, there were treats in our room, as well as a great electric fireplace. We used the gas grill on the deck for dinner both nights rather than going out - great choice. We brought our own meat and veggies and made dinner as the sun went down behind the mountains. The staff provided us with everything we needed (silverware, grill tools, plates, etc)...and we're extremely accommodating all weekend. There was a fridge in the common area where we were able to store leftovers and such. The four dogs and two cats were very friendly. There were almost always 1 or 2 bottles of wine available to pour yourself a glass. Breakfasts were diverse and delicious. We ventured away from the lodge on Saturday to visit Addison Farms Vineyard, which I would definitely recommend. Other than that, we stayed at the lodge the entire time. The fire pit at night was perfect, and the hiking trail was enjoyable. We made some new friends while we were there, and will definitely be coming back, probably multiple times.
