From the moment I entered The Lion and The Rose I felt as if I was a VIP guest. Jim and Linda make you feel like their home is your home, and accommodate every need while allowing for such privacy! The breakfasts are absolutely delicious, the room are immaculate, and the overall atmosphere is simply perfect. Jim recommended the neighborhood... More

We just stayed here for one night, but wish we stayed there for 10!The location is perfect for anyone wanting to explore Asheville, NC. The owners Jim and Linda made us feel completely comfortable and their B&B is beautiful has just the right balance of history and comfort. The breakfast by itself is definitely worth the trip. I would recommend... More

We stayed during the Christmas holiday. Our room was the Craig Toms Suite. Everything was perfect, very clean. Linda and Jim are wonderful Innkeepers. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We loved the breakfasts. I was hoping there would have been one that was sweet like stuffed french toast. I guess we just have to come back! Stay... More

I came to Asheville to attend my husband graduation from Warren Wilson's writing program. I am a NYC kid and not into small town stays. That being said I found the Lion and the Rose a great retreat when not participating in graduation activities. The room was not large but well appointed and extremely clean-a major issue for me. The... More

We only stayed one night, but were very pleased. The inn keepers are great and the house is very welcoming. We had this wonderful mandarin banana dish for breakfast followed by some mouthwatering french toast and sausage. The hot water in the shower fluctuated a bit, but we would still recommend The Lion and The Rose! More

Unfortunately, we were only able to spend one night of our trip here and we greatly regret it. The B&B is beautiful, the innkeepers extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfast phenomenal! This will definitely be a place we will revisit for a longer stay next time! More

The breakfast was amazing. We had a wonderful french toast dish one morning, a fantastic cheese grits dish one day, and a puff pastry dish with ham and asparagus on our last day. The presentation was beautiful and each main dish was preceded by a fruit dish. The owners are friendly. The home is beautiful and spotless. Our room was... More

My husband and I stayed here one night on our way home from visiting his family for Christmas. We both loved this B&B and wished we had time to stay longer. We'll definitely be going back there on our next trip to Asheville. The house and rooms are beautifully decorated. Jim and Linda clearly pay a lot of attention to... More

Jim and Linda, the innkeepers, are both very gracious, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. It is obvious they love sharing their lovely home with guests, and Jim's culinary skills are evident in his delicious breakfast creations that rival the fare at the best restaurants in a city known for its good eateries.
