Carolina Bed & Breakfast

On a quiet street in the historic Montford district of Asheville North Carolina, the Carolina Bed & Breakfast is your home away from home. Whether you choose a pleasant stroll to town to visit one of the many award winning restaurants or shops, visit the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, or spend a day at the Biltmore Estate, you will find yourself happy to return to this cozy, historic house.

In the winter a cheery fire will greet you in the sitting room, in the summer a cool drink and refreshments will await you on either of the two porches where you may sit and enjoy a gentle evening breeze in the gardens.

Built in 1901 by Richard Sharp Smith, supervising architect of the Biltmore, the spacious Arts & Craft style rooms showcase the art and antiques which the owners have collected from around the world.  Your visit will be enhanced by the small touches which make all the difference:  a plate of fresh cookies in your room, nibbles by the fireplace, and personalized service.

Spacious bedrooms offer luxurious linens, air-conditioning, flat-screen television, and fireplaces.  Wireless internet is provided.  Each room has a private bath, many with whirlpool or Jacuzzi tubs.  Also available is a private cottage with king bed, day bed, small kitchenette, two-person whirlpool tub and fireplace.

Breakfast is a meal that is bountiful, creative and delicious. Our gourmet dishes have met with acclaim from our guests. We use the freshest ingredients and make every effort to buy locally.

At our Asheville, North Carolina bed and breakfast, we strive to serve food which is bountiful, creative, and delicious.

Our tastes and attitude towards dining have been formed and refined by our years overseas, in France, Asia, and England. Our horizons have expanded as we have been fortunate enough to enjoy some of the great cuisines of the world. But overall, we have found the best food uses the freshest of ingredients and is made at home. When you stay at our bed and breakfast inn in Asheville, NC, it is our goal to bring to you the pleasure of simple, good, food. As much as possible, the food we put on our table is from local sources, including our own garden! Breads are freshly made in-house, as are our jams and jellies. Fruits and vegetables are served in season and are sourced at local markets. Cookies and cakes come from our kitchen, not from a bakery.

We love to cook and are constantly refining old recipes and seeking new ones. Our cooking is not fussy. It’s the best that home-cooking can be. It is our pleasure to share with you some of our favorite bed and breakfast recipes.

Clean, stylish and simple interiors and very friendly staff made this a top notch experience. Food was four star, fresh beautifully prepared and delicious. The bed was heavenly. We would stay there again and have already recommended it to our friends

The clean, charming room, extremely comfortable bed, truly gourmet breakfasts, afternoon wine and appetizers, location conducive to walking, fresh baked cookies in the evening, and friendly hosts all worked together to make this a lovely visit in Ashville. It seems the hosts thought of everything that would make our stay special.

We had emailed about our vegetarian diet - and Susan did a great job presenting breakfasts and afternoon snacks we could eat.

Breakfasts are right out of 'Bon Appetite' (perhaps even better) and plentiful. Wine and hors d'oevres/snacks are offered at cocktail hour, as a great warm-up for the 10 minute stroll into downtown for dinner.

We'll no longer look elsewhere for Asheville accommodations, and have already recommended it others we know planning to visit the town in the near future.

Owners Susan and James have created an utterly charming and classic southern BnB experience.Imagine: swinging on the porch swing in the evenings sipping complimentary wine. Lounging on the porch sofa in the morning sipping perfectly-brewed coffee gazing at the spring buds before a gourmet breakfast. A list of descriptors include: elegant, delicious, peaceful, fresh, friendly, helpful and a good deal considering all the amenities. We'll never stay anywhere else.
