We booked online and selected a room on the first floor off the porch/patio. We arrived later than expected on a Friday but they were still offering wine, beer and snacks. It's an older building, but we actually prefer that to big, sterile hotels. Sleep quality was good although since you are on the far side of Main Street, you might hear traffic at night. For breakfast we were given vouchers to a nearby eatery which was quite good. One evening we also enjoyed sipping hot tea on the porch. Location is great to stroll into the downtown area. After we left, I noticed I forgot my rain jacket in the closet, so we called them up and they tracked it down and mailed it to us, charging the card we had on file.

The house is wonderfully decorated with so many antiques and beautiful pieces. The garden is gorgeous also. They really take pride in their beautiful home, and it shows through each impeccable detail. The rooms are very clean. The bed was comfortable, we had the very spacious King Room. I didn't get a chance to use the jacuzzi, but they provided candles and salts for a relaxing time. The rooms were well equipped with towels, soaps, and other essentials. There were even hangers in the wardrobe to use. If you needed anything else, I'm sure they would help you out, and if they didn't have it the CVS wasn't far. The breakfast was incredible. Each dish is well planned and executed with wonderful presentation. My favorite was the lemon ricotta pancakes! Oh and the strawberry almond muffins. There were also Kureg coffee makers in each house along with fresh baked cookies. Jim and Russell, the house owners, were both wonderful. They had great recommendations for things to do and places to shop or eat. We had great conversations and got to know about their wonderful home/business. I will recommend this place for anyone traveling in the area. It was fantastic!

It was an easy as well as beautiful drive here from our home. Once we reached Downtown it was a block off the Main Street. Parking was free and located in the rear of the property. Luckily on the Friday evening we arrived we were able to get dinner at Harvey's which is onsite as well. The drinks and dinner was superb. Look for separate review on the Restaurant. After dinner we walked downtown to stretch our legs after being in the car as well as get an after dinner drink. Back at the Henderson as we got ready for bed hubby exclaimed how comfortable the bed was as well as everything about the Henderson. The next morning we went down to breakfast. Note it is included with your stay. We thought continental breakfast but this was a freshly prepared meal. Well I was still full from our dinner so I had some toast and tea. Hubby had the crepes and he loved them. After breakfast we enjoyed just taking in the place and sitting on the rocking chairs on the porch. Later we did leave and checked out the local sites Jump Off Rock with beautiful views and hiking trails. As well as miniature golf across from the high school. We did catch a nice nap before dinner as well as checked out the bees located on the roof on the second floor. Note you can buy the honey to take home with you. After another wonderful meal at Harvey's at the Henderson we were ready for bed. The next day a different menu for breakfast, we were sad to be going. It was a wonderful restful and peaceful stay. We hope to come back soon. Best weekend away and we felt right at home.

This is a great value. Everything that they offer and the reasonable rates make this a must stay. We would stay here again. Kudos to the owner for making this place a reality and to Monica and Matilda for making us feel so welcome.

Very welcoming atmosphere with a variety of stylish, comfy living quarters adapted to suit the solo traveler to a family of four with a pooch and more. Careful consideration was taken to insure guests' needs with particular attention to dietary preferences. After all, you're selecting a B&B, and our hosts took special care to prepare a wonderful full-course, fixed menu (w/dietary exceptions of course) for the sit-down Sunday breakfast. It's the little personal touches that I fell in love with though...sweet teddies in tiny rockers, rubber ducks for bathtime, terry bathrobes, local maps, complimentary sweet bites, etc. Want for nothing and get a great night's sleep in one of the quietest neighborhoods imaginable. We shall return! Bonuses: We truly appreciated the discounted tickets (available to all guests) for a two-day tour of the Biltmore Estate. Made our trip! In addition, Claudia and Christian are the consummate Asheville guides; peruse their personal favorites from restaurants to tourist attractions waiting tableside in your room. Happy travels! :)

We don't usually stay in the same place twice but have begun making this an annual tradition...it's just that good!

However, the biggest issue is that the property does not currently reflect the photos shown online. When we arrived around 1pm, there was no one available to check us in and no answer when we called. We ended up leaving and returning a couple of hours later after finally hearing back. While waiting on the porch, we noticed several items left out--loose baseboard trim, a broom, a bag of cement, and a detached flexible downspout in the walkway--which immediately gave the impression that the property wasn't being actively maintained. The outdoor areas continued that theme. The side yard and fire pit area looked like they hadn't been used or maintained in some time, with weeds growing through the pebble ground, empty or dead plant pots, and older or broken furniture visible around the property. Inside, there are some pieces that reflect the historic character of the home, but the overall decor felt inconsistent. Some furnishings fit the period, while others felt more like standard, dated pieces that didn't contribute to the charm the property is marketed on. For the price, we expected a more polished and cohesive experience--especially when compared to nearby properties like The Black Walnut Bed & Breakfast, which appeared noticeably well maintained. Overall, we left feeling that the listing photos--many of which appear to be from prior ownership--don't accurately represent the current condition. With attention to upkeep and updated photos, this could be a much stronger experience.
