Discover Asheville’s #1 Bed and Breakfast Spot

Asheville has a rich history.  Located in  North Carolina in Buncombe County, Ashville is known as the County seat with roots dating back to about 1784.  One well-known  Asheville landmark  is  the magnificent Biltmore Estate, which attracts thousands of tourists each year. The city offers the visitor a chance to see many amazing historic, scenic and wildlife attractions all year and is home to many of the best Asheville bed and breakfast locales.

The Beaufort House Victorian Inn

The Beaufort House was constructed in 1894 and is a historic residence which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Beaufort House is one of the most recognized, respected and popular . The owners, Robert and Jacqueline Glasgow strive to make each person’s stay a memorable and truly rewarding experience.

The six rooms located in the Main House are breathtakingly furnished to accent the period of the house itself. They are accented with antique, reproduction and modern pieces that give the visitor a sense of the period. The amenities are modern and very well done as not to take too much from the theme of the Beaufort House. The owners have taken great care to even ensure the rooms each have luxurious linens and big comfy pillows.

The two Terrace Rooms, which were once slave quarters, have been masterfully restored and are set aside from the Main House with their own private entrance. Both rooms capture the era of the Main House and are comfortable and cozy, adding to the romantic possibilities for that special getaway and making it a top notch in the Asheville bed and breakfast scene.

The Carriage House has been fantastically remodeled into three large separate rooms, each with their own private entrance. The rooms are done in a more contemporary theme and have small private decks accented with a forest lot that is behind the Inn.

Each morning the visitor is greeted by a gourmet breakfast.  Everything is absolutely fresh. The menu includes Belgian Waffles, Cheese Soufflé, fresh fruit, and Jacqueline’s signature Crepes. It is a breakfast absolutely no visitor could ever forget and is the mainstay of this hotspot.

If you happen to be staying at the Beaufort House through the weekend, you are in for a special treat. After you have seen some sights of Asheville and return that afternoon, you can treat yourself to wine and cheese that are offered every Friday afternoon.

Saturday afternoons offer a pleasant experience with tea and gourmet desserts which include fruits and chocolates galore.

If you seem to have trouble relaxing after the shopping and seeing the sights of Asheville, or you just want to pamper that special lady or yourself, go for the Beaufort House Massage in the privacy of your own room.

With all this available to the visitor, it is easy to why the Beaufort House Victorian Inn is ranked very high in the Asheville bed and breakfast scene.

The Beaufort House Victorian Inn certainly is not the only Asheville bed and breakfast location, but it is the most popular and the best all around for the price and the memories of a special occasion

I have stayed at a few bed and breakfasts over the years and would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a break from a hotel while traveling. They are smaller and may not always offer the same things a hotel would, but there are many advantages to them, the friendly hosts of the bed and breakfast along with meals being included can be a blessing. So when traveling you should consider a bed and breakfast and experience it for yourself.
