We loved our stay at the Bent Creek Lodge! My husband and I are newlyweds, and were looking for a weekend getaway. The airbnbs and hotels were too expensive and not very nice, so we went out on a limb and tried our first B&B experience with Bent Creek Lodge and now we’re never looking back! We loved how it was secluded and beautifully tucked away in nature. The service and staff is amazing, the way the owner, Randy, loves running the B&B makes it all the sweeter. The Breakfast is delicious and I enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and playing games. Would come back again!

A gorgeous secluded lodge near downtown Asheville
What a fabulous secluded spot not far from the Asheville hotspots and minutes off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The host Randy was warm and welcoming as was the wonderful staff. Our every need was catered to. Our well appointed room was spotless with quiet gorgeous garden views off our back deck filled with rockers and a swing. The morning found us eating a scrumptious breakfast tailored to our needs eaten while overlooking the lovely garden and the bird feeders with the birds chirping all around. Sigh we hated to leave but we will be back. I need some more of those awesome coconut macaroons!

Nestled in a picturesque and peaceful setting, Bent Creek Lodge Bed & Breakfast provided us with an exceptional and enchanting stay. The rustic elegance of the lodge offered a sense of home away from home, with immaculately kept rooms and thoughtful amenities that ensured our comfort throughout our visit. The tranquil ambiance of the surroundings was a perfect escape, creating a serene haven away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. While we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bent Creek Lodge, we believe that adding more vegetarian and vegan options to their breakfast menu would enhance the dining experience for guests with dietary preferences. Nevertheless, the dishes that were available were expertly prepared, and the exceptional service provided by Randy truly stood out. His warm hospitality and personalized recommendations added a touch of magic to our stay, making it an unforgettable experience. We left Bent Creek Lodge with rejuvenated spirits, cherishing the memories of a gorgeous and peaceful retreat, and eagerly look forward to returning to this oasis of tranquility.

Hi Graciela! We enjoyed serving you and your son this week. Many thanks for the warm kudos!! Your feedback is genuinely appreciated! We strive to provide a great breakfast and are pleased to offer tasty vegan and vegetarian options by request. Sorry I missed the opportunity to offer appropriate vegetarian substitutions this week. We'll do better on your next visit! Hope you'll be back in the area soon.

Perfect!
My husband and I were taking a spur-of-the-moment weekend road trip to Asheville and Bent Creek Lodge looked so cute and the rates were very reasonable. We were absolutely blown away by our experience here. Everything was awesome - the room was comfortable and charmingly decorated, with a back door that opened onto a balcony with views of the forest and a beautiful native plant garden. We had an after-hours checkin but the front desk called us when we were on our way to make sure we had instructions for entering the Lodge and retrieving our key/getting to our room. Breakfast each morning was hot, delicious, plentiful, and served with a smile and friendly conversation. You can eat either indoors or on the back deck overlooking the garden. This place is so conveniently located. It is minutes away from the Blue Ridge Parkway and about 15 minutes drive to downtown Asheville. Plus there are trails on the property that connect to the NC Arboretum. We cannot say enough good things about this place and have already booked another stay for our anniversary in November.

Staff was very friendly and kind. Nice property with some minor issues that need to be addressed. My door in the bicycle room was difficult to lock and kept popping open. Bed was creeking a lot. I checked in late and the locked box which my key was left in wasn’t even locked nor could it be locked. Anyone could have came up and taken my keys to my room.

This is an immaculate facility with owners and staff that obviously take great pride in their work. The customer service was phenomenal! Bent Creek Lodge is in a tranquil location, but only a short drive from downtown Asheville and Black Mountain. Not all bed & breakfasts get both the bed and the breakfast right - but Bent Creek Lodge has really comfortable beds and amazing breakfasts! We highly recommend this place for the location, comfort, and the friendly and helpful staff.

The setting of the lodge is peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. It is surrounded by trees and beautiful flower gardens. The location is excellent. Between downtown Asheville and the Biltmore property. It is only about a mike from an entrance to The Blue Ridge Parkway. It is also across the street from the Bent River. The breakfasts are elegantly prepared by the owners, assisted by their wonderful staff. The staff is helpful in every aspect especially helping to plan your day’s activities.
