What guests think

At Cedar Crest Inn, guests consistently admire the beautiful historic house and welcoming staff, while noting some tradeoffs such as traffic and ambulance noise, many stairs to upper rooms, bathtub-only bathrooms in some quarters, and a few dated conveniences.

Rooms are frequently described as charming and comfortable, with a few suites offering extra space, porches, and fireplaces. Breakfast draws strong praise for flavor, presentation, and dietary accommodations, though a few reviews cite limited options, portion concerns, a late start time, or one poor substitute during a power outage. The location is convenient to Biltmore and downtown Asheville for quick drives or longer walks. Expect a characterful, well-run B&B with charm and some historic-home quirks.

Wonderful property. We stayed in the Serenity suite, with a separate sitting room and it's own verandah. The amenities were very nice: the spa tub luxurious; plenty of hot water; great towels. Bed was comfortable. Wasn't quite cool enough for the fireplace; but, I'm sure in the fall and winter, it will make this suite a truly romantic hideaway. The breakfasts were tasty and imaginative and very filling. We were very pleased with our stay and will plan to stay here the next time we travel to Asheville.

The house is amazing and was so beautiful with the holiday lights and decorations. We were not able to stay for the breakfast as we went to meet family, and breakfast did not start until 8:30am ET. Check-in was fast and efficient, and the afternoon snack of coconut pecan cookies were amazing. My husband didn't find the bed particularly comfortable, but I thought it was fine.

This house is absolutely stunning! Original owner was friends with Vanderbilt and supposedly used some of the same craftsmen to build this home. The finish work is UN-BE-LIEVABLE! Beautiful and comfortable common areas, porch. Convenient parking for unloading, clean room, awesome inn-keeper.

Beautiful place to stay. Friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious! It was very clean. I did not take into consideration the number of stairs and accessibility for all in my party. This and the traffic noise were the only drawbacks. It was a gorgeous place and I would stay again if traveling with different people in my party. Lovely Victorian home!

The house was beautiful as were the grounds and it is close to many places. I do recommend that if you want to stay here do not reserve tower room 8. The room is very noisy due to Biltmore road that sits below it. It is a heavily traveled road and there is a hospital by the property that compounds the noise level. It’s 3 flights of stairs to get up to that room also there are stairs to the bathroom in the room which are very loud when you walk on them. The bathroom only has a tub no shower which made it hard for my 6’2 husband. There are other rooms that are much better so choose those instead.

The property is lovely but as you would expect with a historic home it was missing some modern conveniences. There weren’t enough plug ins for all your electronic devices to charge by the bed. There is some signs of foundation issues and the room we stayed in was pretty small with the bathroom being a bit bigger than two phone booths. Overall it was charming but I was glad we only were staying one night.

Beautiful property, very well kept, friendly staff. The only problem we had was that the power went out one night and was still out the next morning (obviously not the fault of the innkeeper), however, the "breakfast solution" was a small box of Dunkin Donuts holes and a few biscuits from Hardees. Of all the fine bakeries or grocery stores in Asheville, what they unapologetically came up with was unacceptable. There weren\'t even plates set out; certainly, the power outage didn\'t impact the dishes in their cupboard. Breakfast on the subsequent day was good and what one would expect from a B&B.

The room was so perfect for a romantic getaway. Arthur was amazing and super nice. We left something behind in the room and he reached out to us immediately and told us. We were still local so he held onto it for us until we could get back to the Inn. The food, oh the food., was sooooo very good. Can't recommend this place enough. Close to everything and an easy drive into Asheville or to Biltmore.

The breakfast that was included was delicious. The inn is very close to Biltmore and walking distance to Biltmore Village. We will definitely be back for a longer stay!
