Nancy and Larry are the absolute most charming hosts ever. Nancy's reputation among local innkeepers is well-respected and she is known to make her breakfast meals "from scratch!" We skipped lunch everyday after her three-course breakfast served by her very humorous husband, Larry! The Inn is welcoming, and beautifully decored. My husband and I had special requests that were accommodated on both our visits and we look forward to returning to our "home-away-from-home," Applewood Manor Inn Bed and Breakfast.

We had a wonderful stay in the Winesapp Suite. Nancy and Larry did everything to accommodate our stay. It was my husband's birthday and the whole trip was a surprise for him. Nancy made it SO special by coordinating a surprise bottle of champagne, chocolate covered raspberries and balloons on our last night of our stay. It was heavenly. The house was immaculately clean. It smelled like lemon and lavender when we first walked in, with a hint of something cooking in the kitchen. Catherine did a great job of spiffing up our room each day. Breakfast was awesome both mornings! The first morning was the fruit, yogurt and home-made granola followed by the cornbeef hash. The second morning had the same first courses but with a quiche as the main entree for breakfast. It was SO good.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The neighborhood was beautiful, the house was cozy, and we would recommend the AppleWood Manor to anyone.
Thanks!

We stayed in the Winesapp suite- very nice, spacious, comfortable. We enjoyed the large bathtub and having control of our air conditioning.

The rest of the house has a lot of character, too, but felt a little bit grandmother-ish. It was all very well-kept and clean.

The owners of Applewood Manor were very hospitable and helpful in any way possible. We loved the city of Asheville. It has a lot of character and a welcoming atmosphere.

Breakfast was good but NOT amazing. Food is one of the most important parts of a bed-and-breakfast, so I was dissapointed. Fruit and granola was delicious, as was the lemon pound cake(very fresh tasting). However, our main course of corned beef hash seems more like a diner-type of breakfast than what you should get when you are being pampered at a bed-and-breakfast. The guests were raving about the breakfast from the day before, so I guess I was there on the wrong day!

My husband and I were looking for the perfect place to celebrate our first anniversary in Asheville, and the Applewood Manor Inn more than exceeded our expectations! It was absolutely the BEST place that we could have spent this special time. The B&B itself is beautiful, and the Winesapp Suite was awesome! We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room and the tasteful decoration. The room has a sitting area with a leather couch and two arm chairs, a king size bed, a table with chairs, a huge T.V. with DVD, and a very large bathroom with a two person tub, shower and two sinks (very important!). It was large enough for us to feel like we had our own little private oasis but cozy at the same time! The B&B sits on over an acre of beautiful land with a two-person hammock, a tree swing and bird bath. There are also two porches for use of all the guests, one of which has rocking chairs and a porch swing (adorable!!).

While the B&B alone is amazing, the owners, Nancy and Larry, make it an exceptional place to stay. They are incredibly kind and thoughtful and went out of their way to make us feel like family. The first night that we arrived (a bit later than we had anticipated), Nancy left a sweet note and a snack of brownies and cognac for us on our bed. In the morning, we had to get up early to go whitewater rafting, and Nancy offered to get up at 5:30 and make us breakfast! When we didn't accept the offer and just asked for some fruit, she gave us delicious bread, granola, yogurt AND fruit to take with us! That night, the power went out in the neighborhood for a short while, and they both sat on the porch and chatted with us and the other guests for some time. We were having such a good time that we were actually disappointed when the power came back on! They even donated a bottle of our champagne to our celebration, and we shared a toast and some of our wedding cake with them on our anniversary. In addition to all this special treatment, Nancy and Larry put out a snack of wine and cheese daily around 4 p.m. and turn down the beds every night, leaving a piece of chocolate. Oh, and how could I forget the breakfasts! Fantastic, three-course meals!! My husband LOVES to eat, and he was not disappointed! Nancy even gave him extra servings - he was a happy boy!

If you're going to Asheville, the Applewood Manor Inn B&B is THE place to stay!
