Since new ownership, it’s not the same. The remaining staff are trying their best, but with no restaurant and limited staff hours, it’s horrible.
Historic inn. Quiet, walkable and beautiful grounds. Porch rockers for relaxing.
Pleasant temperature on May 1, walked to restaurant downtown.

The property is conveniently located in walking distance to downtown Black Mountain, NC. It's hard to get a good feel of a hotel when looking just at photographs. The room was very small.
And I'm not convinced it was a Queen size bed. Although they claim all of their rooms are Queen size, unless you pay extra for the king.
The rooms are not well kept Resulting in large cracks and small holes in the ceiling and walls so i cut them some slack due to the recent hurricane flooding in the area, although I'm not sure it affected this hotel.
On the plus side, it is a dog friendly hotel, but for the price, I don't think you get your money's worth.
Beautiful building and room and very clean but no staff. We knew the restaurant was closed but the bar was supposed to be open in the evening and it never opened. There are no coffee makers in the room and no staff were around in the morning so guests gathered in the lobby waiting for coffee and to be able to check out. We ended up leaving our key on the desk as no one was there by 10am. It could be a beautiful place but it felt like a strange ghost town in both the evening and the morning.
Love the location, the old building, staff were great and helped with any thing I wanted or wanted to know about the area. I have stayed there before and will again.
Enjoyed our stay, but would not stay on the 2nd floor again. Walls are too thin. Also, a minor inconvenience, our reservations with Expedia said King Suite with full size refrigerator. We were given a King room with a mini frig. There really needs to be clarification with Expedia.
