Owl's Nest Inn and Engadine Cabins

Frommer's Review

On 12 acres of landscaped grounds with beautiful mountain views, this discovery lies just a 15-minute drive west of downtown Asheville. Built by a Confederate captain in the army after the Civil War, the small inn has been sensitively restored and is a charmer. Walking paths lead in many directions, and there are also picnic areas. The house retains much Victorian character, and the guest rooms are handsomely furnished and spacious, each with a private bathroom with tub and shower or just shower. In cooler months, guests gather around the fireplace in the living room. On warm days, you can take in the views from the house's wraparound porches or from benches in the meadow. Each room, from the Captain's Room to the Howell Room, is decorated differently. The Engadine Suite is very private and romantic, with a queen-size iron canopy bed and a whirlpool built for two. On a hilltop overlooking the inn, three cabins are rented, each with a kitchen, living area, bathroom with whirlpool, and panoramic porches. A hearty breakfast is served (try those cheese grits!).
