Cedar Crest Victorian Inn, Asheville

Perched on a hillside just three blocks from the entrance of Biltmore Estate, the 1891 Cedar Crest Inn bed and breakfast is one of the largest and most opulent residences surviving from the 1800s in Asheville. Downtown Asheville is just a mile away, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is just four miles away.

The impressive exterior Queen Anne architecture is only surpassed by the breathtaking interior woodwork and antique furnishings. Guests are truly given the opportunity to take a glimpse back in time, while still enjoying all the luxuries and modern conveniences of the present. Enjoy four acres of towering trees, countless shades of green on terraced lawns, and delightful flowering gardens.

This guestroom is conveniently located on the first floor of the mansion in a quiet back area of the Inn. The entry door opens to a small foyer with a second door leading to the bedroom. A solid brass queen bed is graced with a half canopy at the head. In addition, the room features a day sleigh bed for a second guest(or third, with additional charge).

The antique mahogany armoire and large, oval mirrored dresser are two of our most treasured period furnishing in this handsome room. A private bath with a deep claw foot tub (with shower), invites a long hot soak, after a full day of parading through the grand halls of Biltmore Estate.

Our beautifully manicured lawns and English perennial flower gardens are the perfect venue for small intimate celebrations (maximum of 40) April through October. During the colder months here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you can descend the majestic staircase, in the grand foyer, and exchange vows fireside in one of the lovely formal rooms of the mansion (maximum of 25). As Asheville's genteel society once gathered in this historic prominent residence, we invite you to experience the luxuries of this bygone era, as you embark on your journey as husband and wife, or carry on with renewed love, hopes and dreams.
