We stayed in the Tower Room!!
Amazing location, great breakfast (try the homemade granola!), quiet room, beautiful grounds, friendly staff!! Homemade cookies everyday!
1 mile from Biltmore, close to Parkway and Black Mountain.
Lots of close food options.
The Cedar Crest Inn is quaint, beautiful and historic. When you step inside the doors, you immediately notice the dark intricately carved woodwork, and you can feel the history inside. The beds were comfortable, the staff is wonderful, and the property is located conveniently to both downtown, the River Arts district and to Biltmore Village.
Cedar Crest Inn was a great place to stay! It was well located and beautifully maintained. The Romeo and Juliet room was well appointed and very clean. Would absolutely stay here again!
The property and staff were both delightful; we'll definitely return when in the area. We'd give both of those a 10/10. The breakfast was basic, even for a B&B. We'd give it a 6/10.
Very charming and picturesque! Plenty of parking and very friendlt staff. Immaculate rooms! Plenty to choose from on their continental breakfast buffet!
This place is pure magic. It’s like traveling back in time. This house is so well taken care of and full of love. We stayed in the tower room and it was some of the best sleep I have ever had in my life. Breakfast was simple but so good. Soft beds, great atmosphere, and close to all the great places in town. My wife and I will definitely be going back!
Staff showed us great hospitality and the inn is historic and beautiful. We had a very comfortable room and really enjoyed the daily breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay.
Continental breakfast was good. Would have been better if they changed it since we were there for 5 days and same menu every day. Staff especially Christi was extremely helpful with information on the area and where to go. They were all very accommodating in anything you needed!
Fantastic location. Amazing main Inn architecture. The tiny streets are daunting the first time you try to navigate out of the inn, but totally fine once you know where you're going.
Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Asheville in the future.
We had such a wonderful stay at the Cedar Crest Inn! Each room was so unique and the craftsmanship was incredible. The staff was so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!
