Picture yourself tucked away on 91 private acres in pristine Madison County, just minutes from Asheville NC. Bed and Breakfast Inn at Ponder Cove was the first luxury dog friendly country Inn in the Asheville area to offer exquisite surroundings for you and your pet. They do not "take" your dog but they "include" your dog. Imagine trading the hustle and bustle of the big city for the breeze of mountain air with your pooch by your side. Come experience Ponder Cove and its natural beauty. You will be welcomed to this intimate 3-room Inn by Innkeepers Martha Abraham and Gary Rawlins. Martha, a retired fashion executive and Gary, a world-class furniture designer/maker have created a unique and comfortable atmosphere featuring 3 prestigious suites. You will discover the luxury of double whirlpool tubs, oversized showers, fireplaces, in-room refrigerators, Direct TV and WiFi. "We find many people who come never venture much farther than "the cove". Therefore, we have tried to think of everything to create an experience you will savor forever." You will be delighted by Martha's hand in the kitchen as you experience her comfort cuisine (emphasis on organic when available and always vegetarian available.) And if location is considered everything then you be the judge. Where else could you be in close proximity to Asheville with its unique shops, galleries, restaurants and breweries, the treasures of Madison County, easy access to the Appalachian Trail, rafting and horseback riding and of course The Biltmore Estate.
You'll find wooded groves, meadows, babbling creeks, starry skies. You won't hear the honk of a horn or even a plane flying by. The perfect place to hike, bike, bird watch or just be.

Ponder Cove still prides itself on accepting dogs of any breed and size. “And with the cooperation of our fabulous guests we have been able to keep up our standard in cleanliness and luxury furnishings. I always say you can judge an establishment by one’s guest and our guests are TOPS!” Ponder Cove does not merely take your dog but welcomes them with open arms.
