My room was very cold during my entire stay. My second night I was given a space heater which helped some. Additionally, my room was not cleaned during my stay despite leaving the tag on the door requesting it. The food is okay but lacks a lot of flavor. The room was very cute but could do with some remodeling.

Beautiful boarding house on the National Registry. Highly recommend staying here. Delicious breakfast, made to order, daily. Popular restaurant by night. My husband said the trout was the best he has ever had, anywhere. Walk to town or to Tomahawk Lake Town is a popular shopping destination 20 minutes to Biltmore and the Blue Ridge museum and parkway. Also check out the town museum and the huge antique store just off the highway.

This was a lovely spot for a little birthday get-away. The flowers and coffee mug gift for the birthday boy in our room was perfect. Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, the temperature was fine for some toasty August days, and the walkability to awesome Black Mountain town was great. Breakfast was a treat both mornings. Recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay. It was comfortable and peaceful. I stopped in on the way home for a quick quiet night, because I’ve seen this place many times and always wanted to stay. It was perfection! The staff was so helpful and accommodating because I was running late getting in. My bed was so comfy and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. I even struck up a friendship with a group of other guests. I really can’t say enough good things and I am absolutely coming back in the fall for a longer stay with my husband.

Okay

A lovely and old-fashioned inn run by people who care. Only the breakfast was a disappointment--and I gather that may have been due to some unusual pressures. Still. When the crepes come out without cheese, and then come back with (un-melted) cheese and pretty much cold...after you've waited 45 minutes...
