Relaxing Bed & Breakfast with Great Hosts
What an amazing place for a quiet retreat. Our hosts were wonderful, made delicious breakfasts, and had great stories to tell. The place is beautiful. No need to go anywhere. Just relaxing in the huge living room with a book watching the humming birds come back and forth on the deck was perfect. There's also a great trail to hike and if you're lucky, you might even cross path with the three goats that roam freely in the woods.

Beautiful escape!
My partner and I absolutely loved the place! We stayed in the cabin suites and it was nice to be in a very private space. The views from the main house are incredible and the animals are all super friendly.

Property is set on the side of a hill with glorious views over the mountain. A log cabin with a magnificent double volume lounge area with picture window views and an out door terrace. Convenient for Asheville and lots of great walking a cycling nearby.

Wildberry Lodge went above and beyond our expectations. This was my husband‘s first time staying at a true bed and breakfast. I wasn’t sure how he would do without a TV in our room (we are both big tv watchers). It was totally NOT an issue. There was a loft area right outside of our room that was so homey and had a large TV. There was also WiFi that allowed us to use our phones to access whatever we would normally watch on tv. Ken, Glenda, and Darla were amazing and so welcoming . The breakfast was so beautifully prepared and served each morning. We were full until dinner!! I highly recommend this place. It is well worth the few minutes drive from downtown Asheville to stay in paradise. My husband did not want to leave.

Stayed here as a launching pad for a weekend in the mountains and Asheville. The Wildberry was a great place to stay from the view of the mountains, to the 3 course breakfast, the large property, the welcoming hosts, and the friendly baby goat. I would recommend the Wildberry to any couple looking for a great place to stay!

Wonderful Gem in the Mountains
What a gem in the high hills of beautiful Asheville! Ken and Glenda were wonderful hosts. The lodge had a very homey comfort feeling. Breakfast was tasty and they were accommodating when we requested more veggies be added to our entree. The hot tub was a nice way to wind down and relax our sore muscles from hiking the Pinnacle all day. Forgot that some time had passed from the last time we tackled a day hike on a vertical climb. We would love to come back and stay at the lodge. Met some wonderful people there. Purchased some items that Glenda’s sister hand-made. Can’t get this anywhere else! You can tell the hosts take great care of their business and treat guests like family. Love that.

Property was beautiful it was very attractive on website rooms was spacious with big windows looking out on beautiful valley .. we got small room with small window looking on parking lot (back of the house) and no view, another window was very small too (I didn’t even notice it at first) and looking entrance porch which is at the back of the house as well no view .. I was very disappointed for the price we payed. I think we got the worse room.. It was our first time to this property We didn’t read rules of the house so we didn’t ask what we want for breakfast so I sense the feeling of irritation from the owner. She met us day before but nothing was mentioned. Breakfast was offered full of sugar. crepes with apple syrup baked grapefruit with some sugar on top and fried bananas also with some sugar syrup.. Eventually I got my raw grapefruit and egg and my boyfriend got toast he felt bad for asking anything else. Please be very specific when you renting this property. Owner seems like living in the house so it didn't feel like a neutral place.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We really do appreciate your business. I want to personally say that I am very sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations. All of the pictures on our website have exact pictures of the room that you will be reserving. I am sorry that somehow your exact room layout was not communicated to you. It was as you related the most inexpensive room. We pride ourselves in our service, accommodations, and of course our breakfast. We did provide everything you asked immediately not eventually and I was completely surprised with your feedback as we do our best to accommodate our guests with a smile, not as you related with irritation. The posted breakfast menu was broiled grapefruit with a teaspoon of brown sugar and butter, Crepes with Apple Cranberry chutney and turkey kielbasa, with roasted bananas for dessert. We also have homemade granola each day with almond and regular milk. The menu alternates between savory and sweet and is different each day - built around food restrictions that are communicated to us by our guests. We do often make special breakfasts for guests with dietary restrictions if we know in advance. It usually helps that we post the breakfast menu so that guests will tell us when they would prefer something else. We are very sorry that you did not completely enjoy yours. We hope that you had an uneventful trip home and hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

The Wildberry Lodge was everything i was expecting and more! Ken and Glenda were amazing hosts, they were friendly, polite, and fun to talk too. There's 3 dogs that live at the Lodge that are very friendly. There's goats and cows that graze the land nearby. We didn't use the hot tub since we went in the middle of summer but it's nice to know it's there. Ken and Glenda are in the process of making a hiking path that we briefly explored but I believe they said it's over 2 miles long at this point. The views are gorgeous! I recommend getting a room with the mountain view but if you get a room with the hill view, the patio is big enough that you can watch the sunset from there. You can tell that Ken and Glenda have put in a lot of time, effort, and love into making the Wildberry Lodge one of the best Bed and Breakfasts. My only complaint is that we only stayed for a single night. We'll be coming back for sure.

We couldn’t have loved it more. The food was incredible. We wandered the grounds. We mentioned one morning before leaving we may use the fire pit that night and when we returned they had wood, kindling, paper, s’mores fixings, and cushions all set up. We’re a very active couple but two days of rain forced us to stay in and play cards and nap. We loved it

We stayed two nights in the Gooseberry room. The room had a balcony with a breathtaking view. We also enjoyed very much the jetted tub and the delicious breakfast prepared by Glenda in the morning.
