Elegant, four bedroom Bed and Breakfast Inn in Asheville, NC with antiques, whirlpools and fireplaces in bedrooms and close to Biltmore House.

The Inn was designed by Biltmore's Supervising Architect, Richard Sharp Smith in 1900. It was designed in the style of an English Cottage. Twenty six mature boxwoods welcome you to the Inn. You enter to the foyer with its stone fireplace and resident cat, Morris, official greeter to the Inn. The foyer leads to the formal living room, library and sun room, filled with seasonal plants and palms, all of which are there for the guests' use as is the antique wicker furniture on the porch which spans the front of the Inn.

The interior is filled with Georgian and Victorian antiques and Persian carpets. It is a gracious back drop for the owner's collections of Victorian silver napkin rings, tea caddies, Staffordshire pottery, maps, Baxter prints and period cut glass, which represents thirty years of avid collecting.

The Inn has four large guestrooms each with fireplace and private bath, three with whirlpool bath. The O.Henry Room has a clawfoot tub and shower. The Fitzgerald Room and the Thomas Wolfe Room are the largest bedrooms in the Inn, while the Edith Wharton Room also offers spacious accommodation.
