Frommer's Review

A stay here is like entering a time capsule and going back to the Victorian era. This Queen Anne mansion is one of the largest and most opulent residences surviving from Asheville's 1890s boom. The mansion has a captain's walk, projecting turrets, and expansive verandas, and the inside is a fantasy of leaded glass, ornately carved fireplaces, and antique furnishings, with a massive oak staircase. Owners Rita and Bruce Wightman have indulged their romantic and whimsical imaginations in furnishing the guest rooms: All have period antiques and individual decor -- a canopied ceiling in the Romeo and Juliet room, a carved walnut bed in another room, and brass bedsteads in a third. Each room has a private bathroom with a tub/shower combination (Jacuzzi tubs), and several contain working fireplaces. A cottage with two suites is adjacent to the main house.

Facilities:
Breakfast room; lounge; nonsmoking rooms
