    The front porch of the house on the hill
    Mike S.

    We stayed in the Hill House for a weekend getaway for our 25th anniversary. The weather was frigid when we arrived Friday night, but we opened the front door to find that the lights and the heat were left on for us. How nice is that? We loved the house, everything was perfect except for the showers. We were forgiving of the long wait for hot water, as it was below freezing outside. But the pressure was low on both showers, and both stalls were uncomfortably small for a big guy like me. Otherwise, I can't wait to come back when the weather allows for some exploring. Oh, and no WiFi could be an issue for some, we were fine without it. We had no cell service in town, but plenty on top of the mountain.

    This place is the perfect getaway for those couples looking to relax and enjoy the scenery of Lake Lure. Located just parallel to the main road, it's quiet and beautifully set in the heart of the mountains. The owners Susan and Martyn were very accommodating and serve a quaint breakfast. We stayed in the Courtyard Room in the main lodge which worked perfectly for us, with a patio balcony right outside of our room. There are also several cabins to choose from, but were unfortunately already booked for the weekend. We didn't give them a whole lot of notice, but they gladly took us in. I will definitely be back. You can't beat the price for $89/night, which includes a continental breakfast and free access to their private boat dock, which is just a short drive away. This was the perfect vacation spot for a weekend getaway. We'll be back soon!

    Check in was simple and easy and Kim was very thorough, even asking if we had any preferences for breakfast.

The house is tucked up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so the view from the porch is breathtaking. We also enjoyed hiking on the Appalachian Trail, which was easily accessible from the house. Our room was really a suite and was very comfortable. We hope to come back again.

We arrived on Monday and departed Friday to continue our vacation. We checked into a more "highly regarded" and more expensive B&B today. Already, we see many things at Bald Mountain House we do not find here. First, Monica is an amazing hostess, incredible chef (most amazing breakfasts ever!), and cares for her guests so well! It is the most peaceful and tranquil place we have ever stayed. The king Tempur-pedic in the Blue Ridge Suite was like being in our own bed at home, except the only sounds we heard was the flowing steam and singing birds. The cool mountain are allowed us to keep the windows open our entire stay, even when we turned on the AC for a cool sleep at night. The place smelled so fresh and was very clean (perfect 100 sanitation rating). There were always drinks stocked in the fridge and coffee and cookies available in the dining room. The tap water was soft and tasted as good as any bottled water. We enjoyed the many comfy chairs on the huge covered porch as we watched golden finches, hummingbirds, and other beautiful birds feast at the many feeders while we looked at the vast mountain range above the flower planter boxes. We were able to do some hiking on the infamous Appalachian Trail, including breathtaking views atop Big Bald mountain. Monica provided a lot of helpful information when we asked, especially regarding dinner ideas. While the owners were on site and available 24/7, we appreciated that unlike other places we have been they did not immerse themselves into their guests space! We hope to return again in the future!

But everything else was a solid 3. Nothing wrong with it at all... But, I was underwhelmed based on my previous experiences. When we checked in, the host was fine. The room was fine. The bathroom did leave some things to be desired. There was not a good place to put your toiletries. We also had to climb into a very deep bathtub to get to the shower... If you are clumsy, like me, you may walk away with a couple of bruises. The house itself was very pretty, and was decorated in a manner appropriate for the property. I would've liked to seen some warm blanket to sit out on the patio with, board games, or puzzles to pass the time. There was only one sofa, and it was not in a cozy little nook where you would want to hang out. The food was fine. The menu is heavy on carbs and sweet breakfast treats. They were executed well enough. But there was not any particular breakfast that knocked my socks off. Again it was fine. The location was very convenient to downtown Asheville. It would be a two minute drive or a 10 minute walk to downtown Asheville. This bed-and-breakfast did not appear to be owned and operated by the hosts, rather an absentee corporation or business. I think that made the difference. Everything was fine, but it didn't have that touch of home that you expect when you stay at a bed and breakfast. For example, when we wanted to use the television, and needed some assistance, when we called the number that was left, the call was blocked. On a whim , we texted Fortunately, they responded right away. But ultimately, after 6 PM you are on your own in terms of staffing. Overall, I can recommend Beaufort House, but I think next time I will try something different.

However, I was expecting this to be a special and elegant experience and it was not. When we arrived during the specific check in time the door was locked and no one was in the front office. It turns out they were showing someone else to their room but we didn't know that. We just stood out on the porch not knowing what to do until someone finally came to the door. There's no reason they couldn't have the front door unlocked during the limited window of check in time. The person who showed us around said there would be "heavy continental breakfast ". However, it turned out the breakfast was probably the very absolute minimum they could provide and still call it breakfast. It was very disappointing. If I'm not mistaken it was only available from 8:30 until 9:30 or something very limited like that. Finally, there was no lotion in our bathroom, only shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap. I would stay there again but I would have to weigh the options of amenities and prices of other hotels. A regular mid price hotel has more amenities than what was offered when we stayed.
