    The photos we viewed online of the Arbor House B&B certainly enticed us enough to make the reservation. But once we got there, it was better than expected! The home is meticulously maintained and beautifully decorated. Each suite has its own bath and our bed was very, very comfortable! The grounds are fabulous and the view is breathtaking! We highly recommend staying at the Arbor House of Black Mountain!!

    The first thing I do when I know I'll be in Black Mountain is check availablilty at Arbor House. What a gorgeous place! The rooms are large, well-appointed, inviting -- rooms you actually want to spend time in. The views across the adjoining gardens & lake out to the surrounding mountains are magnificent. The breakfasts are excellent -- creatively presented and often incorporating food from the garden. The hosts are both lovely. You couldn't ask for a better expreience.


    Fouth year and still fantastic!!!!

    My girlfriend and I have stayed at quite a few B & B's. After our first visit at the Arbor House, we fell in love with the total experience. We always look forward to the delicious breakfasts and views from the dining room window (and the fireplace burning and crackling). I enjoy strolling around Lake Tomahawk at any time of the day. Carolyn and Dave are very gracious hosts. If you want the ultimate B&B experience, go and see for yourself!!

    My wife and I stayed two nights at the Arbor House in Oct 2009. The inn is large, comfortable, in a great location, and in a beautiful setting. We stayed in the Greybeard Room, which had plenty of room to spread out and a beautiful view of the lake and mountains out the large picture windows. Carolyn and Dave are great hosts that made us feel like family. We hope to go back soon.

    My husband and I just returned from our third yearly stay at the Arbor House. We along with three other couples book the whole B&B just for our group. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast is to die for and the views are wonderful. Both Carolyn and Dave are gracious hosts. That is the reason my friends and I keep returning year after year.
