“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Step back in time...This 1907 mansion was absolutely amazing. Every detail is considered...from the decor of each room to the social hour to the wonderful food. My husband and I felt like we had known the owner, Cathy, and the managers, for more than just the three nights we were there. They welcomed us into the home as if we had lived there. The food was incredible and thoughtfully planned. Thanks for a great stay! Kim and Mike Chase

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

This is the PERFECT place for a holiday. You feel at home the moment you walk in this gorgeous inn. The owners and hostesses make you feel so comfortable and help you with anything you may need during your stay. I truly could not improve on anything from the accommodations to the breakfasts to the 5 o'clock hor'dourves. I would advise anyone reading this review to make your reservations NOW. You deserve it!

Room Tip: Rooms are all decorated elegantly. Choose a different one each time you go. You will be delighted wi...

“Great Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

This was my first experience at a Bed & Breakfast. The rooms were beautiful, the breakfast exceptional and the wine/refreshments at 5 p.m. just enough before dinner(not at the Inn)! My next stay at a B&B will have to meet very high standards unless I go back to Albemarle Inn!

Room Tip: I was on the third floor. This could be a "hike" for those with mobility issues but was ju...

“PERFECT!”

We returned to the Albemarle Inn, our Asheville home from home, for our 4th visit (second in Sunrise Suite) and were delighted by the festive decor, a surprise Christmas gift bag full of goodies (thanks again, ladies!) and the wonderful Biltmore Candlelight Christmas evening (special tickets kindly arranged by Sheridan).

Since I covered everything thoroughly in my last review (and I mean everything - read it and see!), I won't repeat myself. The Inn is simply:

P ersonable staff
E xquisite decor
R omantic ambiance
F antastic hospitality
E nticing cuisine
C lose to everything
T ry it and see!

That being said - remember ladies, to brew the perfect pot of hot tea, ya'll need to add the (freshly boiled) water to the tea bags and NOT the other way round! ;) LOL............

Room Tip: Larger (or pickier) people would probably dislike the narrow feeling of the shower curtains in the c...

“What a surprise in Asheville!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

Fantastic B&B nestled in the hills below The Grove Park Inn. Our hostess was none other than the girl who played the oldest daughter on the Cosby Show! We were met with complimentary wine, had a phenomenal breakfast and could see the Grove Park from our bed room window. Our room rate was $110.00! We highly recommend this location to everyone!

Room Tip: Top floor (converted attic) is the best value, all rooms have their own bathroom and great views!
