St. John's Episcopal, the oldest church still standing in Rutherfordton
Denis B.

We really enjoyed our stay. The building is very cool if you're into historic preservation like me. The location is great for exploring the little downtown of Rutherfordton (check out the numerous historical markers, murals, and gold coins embedded in the sidewalks), the Thermal Belt Trail, etc., & nearby to some great places to eat & drink like The Copper Penny across the street and Yellow Sun Brewing a couple of blocks away. However, the gourmet breakfast prepared by Ms. Donna and served on china each morning stole the show - delicious food & a great experience. This place has tons of character - runs circles around the monotonous chain places on the By-pass. It's a great experience - give it a shot!

We stayed here for a wedding that was in Rutherfordton. This place was by far my favorite place that we've ever stayed. It's so quaint and beautiful! We'd never been to a bed & breakfast before so I was a little bit nervous but it exceeded my expectations by far!! We stayed in room 1 which was The Firehouse Suite, right off the main living area/kitchen. We felt like we were really at home and loved having access to snacks/water the whole time. Such a clean and quiet environment, the room was amazing! The softest sheets and pillows and a huge tub/shower! The staff was so sweet and helpful and the food was delicious! We will definitely be staying again. We've even said we'll come back to Rutherfordton just to stay here!

This place is absolutely sensational! The inside has been re-renovated and looks amazing, especially around Christmas time. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. It's definitely a diamond in the rough for this part of North Carolina. People were skeptical and thought the place looked haunted by the photos online but it has a very pleasant feel and I would stay there again and again!! The lady that makes breakfast in the morning is an amazing cook she made the best fajita I've ever had, she even saved it for me because I woke up late.

King bed with Italian sheets- luxury! Sleeps like a dream!

See all

Wildberry Lodge - Amazing man cave / entertainment room in the basement

Wildberry Lodge

(14 reviews)

The Wildberry lodge is like a classic Hallmark movie. Its a beautiful get away cabin in the…read moremountains with a warm genuine feeling. There are amazing mountain views with plenty of windows to capture the scenery. It is extremely clean and spacious with remarkable interior decorating. The Wildberry Lodge gives you the privacy of the mountains with the feel of an upscale hotel. The amenities include a hot tub with stunning views as well as the best basement man cave that includes a pool table, shuffle board, and unique amenities like an old school Scrabble board. The breakfast features fresh fruit, delicious eggs, potatoes, and a variety of juices. We are not the typical frustrated novelist who always post reviews. However, we had an amazing weekend and confident you will have a similar experience. ​

Can not describe our visit here! Everything was superb and everything we imagined it would be!…read more Ken and Glenda are the sweetest hosts I've ever met! During our trip to Asheville we wanted to experience the city but also have cabin time. Wildberry lodge provided us with the most relaxing and comfortable experience we could ever ask for. Wild berry is definitely a way to get out of the city and just enjoy the quietness of nature (without going too far of course!) The drive itself is around 25-30 mins from downtown Asheville - there are several ways to get here but the new foundland road was probably the best route. It's easy to stay in the cabin and go enjoy yourself in the city during the day or evening. Ken and Glenda were very hands off and so friendly - if you have questions on where to go or what to do they can accommodate everything! The main cabin has multiple rooms - gooseberry and some other room options. This is where you check in, get breakfast, game room, sit on the deck, coffee/cider bar and chit chat with other guests if your heart desires. The best part of our stay was Glenda's breakfasts! Her recipes were featured in an Asheville bed and breakfast recipe book! We signed up for a bfast time the day prior (anywhere from 8am-930am) and she is usually ready whenever we get there! Our first breakfast included - garden frittata, bacon, homemade English muffin, rosemary roasted potatoes and to finish it off - poached pear. Our second breakfast included pumpkin pecan pancakes, cranberry/apple chutney and sausages and ended it with a mixed berry cobbler. Everything was superb and very filling! We stayed in the honey moon suite to get the full cabin - on our own - experience and it was gorgeous! The bed is super comfy, everything was clean and up to date. It was almost like glamping! Only downside to our visit was the drive at night can be a bit scary if you are not use to driving on mountains. One of the first nights it was raining so it was slightly difficult coming back to the cabin from downtown Asheville. Just make sure you have a car and drive safely! After the initial drive you will get use to it and it should be easier' Other than that - this is a place worth splurging on and visiting!' Thanks Ken and Glenda!!

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.
