Thanks Bob and Barbara, for making my husbands birthday so special. We enjoyed the Wilkinson Room with the cozy fireplace and a good bottle of wine. Just superb. With both of us vegans, you prepeared a delicious breakfast every day. Each morning, was a different surprise. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a clean, friendly environment. Bob was most helpful by supplying us with maps and guided us to the best restaurants.

Many thanks,

Phil and Melitta Robinson, High Point, NC

“Exceptional in every way!!!”

We enjoyed 2 nights at the delightful 1899 Wright Inn and Carriage House. With so many inns in Ashville, we are glad we chose this one! Its gorgeous; the architecture and decor are elegant and historic. Innkeepers Barbara and Bob were charming and knowledgeable, as were their exceptional staff. They made us feel most welcome but gave plenty of space. We stayed in the Griffin room which was comfortable, spacious and impeccably furnished, from the beautiful antiques, down to small table top mirror (which had at least a 10x magnification of one side- greatly appreciated by anyone in reading glasses!). Breakfast both days was spectacular (such as baked apple French toast!) and we were treated to wine and appetizers at social hour from 4- 5. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, even in the winter. We look forward to returning in warmer weather so sip wine on the porch!

“A fine B&B with very accommodating staff”

We thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay at the Wright Inn. A couple of the nights they had a full house, it was almost peak season for fall leaf touring. Even with a full house, it was very quiet and peaceful. The breakfasts were soooo delicious. A month later my boyfriend surprised me with a copy of their spiral-bound cookbook as one of my birthday gifts.

The location is ideal, whether you just want to walk downtown, drive out to nature areas for day hikes, or visit local attractions.

Highly recommended!

Along with my significant other, this was my first trip to Asheville as well as a B&B stay. It was absolutely delightful. The room was clean. Any matter that needed tended to was, immediately. The innkeepers were very social as well as helpful. The room was beautiful, decorated to the period of the house. Not many are. The breakfasts were delicious. We had our own private breakfast nook. Very romantic Another selling point is the location. Close enough to downtown Asheville you can walk in 10 min, an far enough away from the noise of traffic the atmosphere was tranquil. In the oldest part of town. I would recommend this establishment to any couple looking for a quiet get away Romantic get away. Thank you so much Bob & Barbara for the memorable first impression!!

We were well-cared for. Bob and Barbara are anxious to make sure that all their guests are comfortable in the Inn, and that they have access to all Asheville has to offer. Each room seems to have its own personality and is unique. Ours had a window that opened and allowed us access to our private porch! Breakfasts were just right - gourmet and guaranteed to start the day off right. Enjoy!
