Experience the magic... of this historic and unique Victorian farmhouse Bed and Breakfast. Located just 25 miles north of Asheville, this could be the getaway you've always dreamed of! Built mostly in 1888-1898 by Sam Byrd and 4 carpenters (who also worked on the Biltmore Estate!) with clear virgin chestnut (before the worms!), amazing blistered poplar (a very rare find, so we're told), cherry, white oak and black walnut that were all cut & milled on the property, with six fireplaces; the splendor of the wood and craftsmanship will astonish you.

Get away from it all, and share our peaceful homeSit by our large 2 sided fireplace and play a game of chess, or sit on our wrap-around porch and take in our peaceful surroundings with bird feeders and lovely views. Enjoy a twenty minute pre-soak in our hot tub; then a wonderfully relaxing massage by the very talented David Oye. David has been a professional Massage Therapist since 1983. He uses a combination of Swedish, Deep Tissue, Traeger, Pressure Point Work and others as he sees fit. David is very intuitive and will apply the method and amount of pressure you need.

Your meal in the morning is bound to please you. On the weekends, Judy will fix you a substantial, meat free meal such as; Caramelized Apples with Crêpes topped with Crème Fraiche, or, Eggs Florentine with Orange Dill Sauce, all prepared with as many organic and locally grown ingredients as possible.
