Marshall is quickly becoming a little hotspot just outside of Asheville, and if you're planning on…read moreexploring this little town before it explodes, or if you're looking for a romantic and charming place to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Asheville, I cannot say enough nice things about the Marshall House Inn. The rooms and their facilities are updated and modern, while preserving the original charm of this historic inn. Booking and checking inn could not be easier, and the rates are tremendously affordable. My wife and I have celebrated Valentine's day by staying here over the past two years. Upon entering you're greeted by a warm fire, which instantly puts you at ease. There are gorgeous views of the river and downtown Marshall from each of the rooms, but room 3 definitely has the largest vista. The bathrooms are updated, and well stocked with towels, which is awesome because I typically ask for extra towels when staying in a hotel. After you have a delightful nice of rest on an ultra comfy mattress throw on something to make yourself presentable and treat yourself to a delightful bit of breakfast. Each time we've stayed here they were serving an absolutely delicious sausage quiche. I don't know if this is a specialty, or if we've just gotten extremely lucky with our timing! The owners, John and Kerstin are delightful folks who are happy to share their home. They rebuilt the old inn to the modern delight it is today, and their pride and love is clearly evident. Whether you're a WNC local looking for a quick get away, or travelling to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a chance to visit Asheville and its surrounding towns, you owe it to yourself to stay here at least one night!

Our room seemed to be newly updated. The floors were hardwood and there was marble in the bathroom vanity. We had a microwave and a mini fridge. And the room was very very clean. The furniture was a little banged up and we had some tv issues, which they fixed. I would definitely visit again. The front desk staff could not have been nicer. Everyone we interacted with was extremely kind and helpful. The grab and go breakfast was fine and they reminded anyone who was lingering too long in the common space. Masks required in all common areas.

We stayed with some newly acquired "friends" of the bride (like us) and we all had plenty of space to get to know each other without invading each other's space. The views are incredible too. We had so much fun returning from wedding events to just hang out together. I would recommend RiverDance to anyone who is visiting the Marshall / Hot Springs area. I know we will be back :)

It was right next to Spring Creek. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the river and relaxing. The cabin was nicely decorated and well-equipped with a kitchen (refrigerator, stove, etc.), clean bathroom, and wifi. Very comfortable accommodations. We understand that their restaurant is no longer operation except for breakfast. But, if you are able to reserve breakfast, it's well worth it. We loved the breakfast on the outdoor patio of the main historic house. It is a peaceful setting and the food was excellent. Kudos to the chef/server Kim for her work. We will certainly stay at Mountain Magnolia again and recommend their facilities to anyone visiting Hot Springs.

We booked a 2-night stay at Mountain Magnolia bed & breakfast for June 11-13th. This was our second stay here as our first time was three years prior. We even booked the same upstairs corner room with a huge deck and balcony. The weather during our stay was humid and rainy. Upon checking in on an early Friday evening, the room appeared clean and welcoming. We immediately took showers to wash off the sweat and rain from our afternoon clay shooting. There is a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, however we didn't use it because of the stains on the tub floor. Even though it was most likely clean and sanitary, it wasn't screaming "come soak in me" the least bit. After a terrible dinner in town, we visited the hot springs hot tubs before coming back to our room for the night. It's unfortunate that the Inn did away with the restaurant they use to have down stairs. I loved that restaurant; it was incredibly convenient and they offered an amazing menu. Really bummed because the restaurant was half the appeal. Day 2, we woke up later than usual, but the keeper had our breakfast waiting for us on a tray downstairs. Yogurt and granola, blueberry bran muffin, mixed fruit bowl, coffee, and a hard boiled egg. Yummy. I had booked a massage with a gal that came to the inn around 11 am, and she did an amazing job. Then we traveled down the road to the rafting place and rafted the river. By the time we returned to the Inn, the keeper was gone for the night. Which was fine, except we were in desperate need of fresh towels. The bath towels they provided us with the room were soaking wet and dirty. We searched the entire Inn looking for a linen closet with no luck. So we finally made the decision to "borrow" the towels from the downstairs room that was clean and had no residents. At least, we think it had no residents. Ugh. I really hope we didn't take some poor couple's towels who had a super late arrival. Whoever thought that 2 towels for 2 adults for 2 nights was enough, was so wrong. I need 2 towels just for myself for 1 night. Lol. Anyway, after stealing towels from another room (don't worry, we left a note), we showered and headed to bed. Breakfast was available to us the second morning, but we were only interested in the coffee before hitting the road home. Here's a list of the positives: Parking is easy. The rooms are big, clean and welcoming. They provide WiFi. Checking in and out is easy, smooth and hassle-free. The balconies provide a beautiful view. The corner balcony is huge. The bed is super comfortable. There's air conditioning, a ceiling fan and extra fan in the wardrobe. There's a fireplace and extra blankets (also in the wardrobe). There's hangers in the wardrobe, in case you forgot to bring some. They also put the hair dryer in the wardrobe. They gave you a built-in treasure hunt game called "where is everything?" You have access to power outlets to charge your electronic devices. Breakfast is awesome. The inn keeper is nice and welcoming. They provide you with shampoo, conditioner and body wash in a wall dispenser. And the bathrooms have a jacuzzi tub. Here's a list of the negatives: Cell service is inconsistent (which isn't really their fault, it's just a spotty location). They only allow smoking in one area on the premises, and that area doesn't include your private balcony. You can only use the fireplace in the winter. They only provide you with 2 towels, which isn't enough for an extended stay. You could probably get more towels by asking the inn keeper, but make sure you do it in the morning when she's around and not evening when she's gone. The tubs could be cleaner. There is no tv in the rooms. The wardrobe in the room has no handles, making the opening of the doors quite a hassle. The drawers in the bottom of the wardrobe are broken, making them unusable. You can't turn the ceiling fan on high without it shaking uncontrollably, giving you the feeling of being in a deadly earth quake. The bathroom is small with no counter, leaving little room to place your makeup or toiletries. And the balcony is very unpleasant in the rain (they need to provide a table umbrella, or small gazebo of sorts). Normally, one would look at the negatives and think "well that's not so bad." However, when you see the price tag for a night's stay? That little stuff becomes a much bigger deal. We paid a little over $250 per night. The price tag was WAY too high for what they offer, in my personal opinion. With all that being said, I still heavily recommend this inn. We were told that the place is getting new owners soon, so hopefully they address the issues and maybe lower the price. We will definitely be back.

When securing the hot springs resort and spa, my "friend" wanted to book it late at night around 9 pm. I wasn't too fond of that idea since I wanted to view the scenery. Anyway, he changed the reservation time by phone. We went with the basic package for 60 minutes. Once we arrived, the parking lot was spacious. We went to check in and purchased some souvenirs that were a bit on the pricey side. An older gentleman who was nice walked us to our hot springs which was just a secluded hot tub near a free-flowing body of water. The hot tub temperatures were warm and not skin-burning hot, but it was perfect since it eased my tense and painful muscles that I had been temporarily suffering since the beginning of the week. I can't say if the water was real mineral water or not. I just wasn't expecting the hot springs to be a hot tub with jets.
