This was my third stay at this establishment. After we booked, I saw some of the reviews on here which worried me - but I didn’t need to be. They called before we arrived to tell us that the restaurant was closed and no hot breakfast- I already knew that but it was nice of them to tell us. They contacted us via text to tell us that our room was ready. It is a historic place but is still very nice. We stayed in the rose room which is a king suite with fridge and coffee maker. They also provided complimentary sodas and water. Everyone working there is extremely nice, friendly and helpful. They gave us sheets of the restaurants in the area and made suggestions which were spot on. We did miss the restaurant but do understand that COVID has changed things here - hopefully next time it will be open again as we have enjoyed the dinners and breakfasts in the past.

This was my second visit at this lovely inn, which is a wonderful option for those traveling with dogs. Beautiful property to walk a dog. Friendly, helpful staff. Unfortunately the scrumptious restaurant was closed on the second visit. Still, a winner

Got to return here after 15 years as I was cycling the Fabulous 4th event. The place was not in the same condition as last time. It appeared dated and could use an overall facelift. Has potential. I'm sure the lack of travel during the pandemic hurt them like all other resorts.

My wife and I stayed here 15 years ago and have been wanting to go back now that we've moved back to the upstate. I'm glad we only booked one night, because it appears nothing has been done to the rooms in the last 15 years. Yes, it's a very old inn, and the workers are super nice and helpful, but a simple can of WD-40 would do wonders at this place. Opening the door to our King room probably woke anyone who may have been sleeping in the building. The toilet didn't want to flush, and in the middle of my shower the showerhead decided to stop working (I had to splash water from the tub faucet on myself to get soap off my body).
All that to say, the biggest disappointment was the fact there was no hot breakfast available. I understand that hiring is difficult now, but if a 'bed and breakfast' isn't going to serve breakfast, they should probably let people know before coming. Serving cereal and yogurt and giving a very small credit to our account wasn't worth it at all.
If the innkeeper is planning to keep this wonderful inn open and running (and wants to charge $200+ per night), some serious work needs to be done to get the inn up to standard!!

We booked a suite at this inn for a weekend with a promise of a bottle of wine in our room, access to a tavern and a gourmet breakfast. Had a note a week before that we would have a continental breakfast instead of a hot gourmet breakfast due to β€œstaffing issues.” Then got a call a couple days before we left telling us they would not be able to provide the wine because their liquor license had not been renewed. Finally, tried to make reservations in their restaurant, based on a post of the July menu on their website and discovered the restaurant was closed because they had lost their chef. The reality was a suite with a window air conditioner that barely kept up with the heat, no restaurant, no internet, and a breakfast of cold cereal and cold plastic wrapped supermarket cinnamon rolls. An no apology! I would avoid this place like the plague, unless I had very strong evidence of a change!

I made a reservation for the Stone Cottage. My cc was Immediately charged for the full night. I also immediately received a text that the gourmet breakfast was not available but a continental breakfast was. I was trying to be forgiving bc of COVID, etc.

I started having doubts before leaving and contacted the b and b at night. There was an answering service.

I then sent a text the next morning. I inquired about the wifi and the bar service. THERE IS NONE.

This property is also for sale.

I reached out to have my cc refunded. No response from the innkeeper.

Hard Fail. Maybe historic, but definitely dilapidated.

Anniversary getaway, looked for something a little more romantic than a Holiday Inn… pictures on the 1906 Pine Crest Inn website looked right for a couple nights. Trip Advisor billed it as Fitzgerald and Hemingway stayed here… if they were still alive, they’d be issuing a cease and desist. Definitely not worth $215/night. We checked out early after one night.

β€œWhite Oak” room in β€œOak Cottage” looks like the walls were re-paneled in 1960, and the furniture was bought at a thrift store in the late 1990’s. Crappy Celotex ceiling tiles, rickety bed, worn out mattress, lava lamp-esque effect from the spider web in the lampshade, chest of drawers missing huge knob, wobbly toilet seat, crappy shower head, furniture looks like it was purchased at a garage sale, entryway to cottage reeked of mothballs, no GFI outlet in bathroom and an electric heater right beside the sink… and breakfast is basically a supermarket granola bar in a box. Basically, the room looks like it should be rented by the hour rather than the night.

Should have sprung for the $359/night at the Grove Park Inn, or $368 at the Village Hotel at the Biltmore Estate. 364 days to get it right next time…

While this place is quiet, perhaps because very few other people were there, and relaxing, it looks shabby. There is a lot of deferred maintenance. The room was nice, but it was also home to some termites. Breakfast is essentially non-existant since the restaurant has closed. What was provided was a box containing an apple, yogurt, a Nature's Valley bar, a tiny roll, and 10-15 grapes. It was pathetic. Very little imagination or effort could have improved the "breakfast, " such as it was. What bnb stands for at this place is bed and bill. It is very overpriced.

I left a neutral 3 star review, after trying to call for over 4 hours with no response and being sent to voicemail every time. As a result, I get a call from the owner who cancelled my stay because of my neutral or β€œnegative” comment, as he thought. He did not have any care as to why I commented that. He just automatically assumed the worst and cancelled me, based on the fact that he got a β€œnegative” review. This is completely unacceptable business! I was truly looking forward to staying at the B&B, but as a result of his complete and utter lack of care for customer service and attempts at customer satisfaction and improvements, I will NEVER stay at this establishment!!! Buyer Beware!!!

We had heard about the Pine Crest Inn over the years and were excited we finally were getting to stay there. The reality was a huge disappointment. Granted we were traveling with our dog so we never expect to get the best room but... The cottage smelled like mildew, the ceiling had cracks with water stains and the blinds had to be closed by each individual blind. I had put down a water bowl for my dog and the next morning a big bug was enjoying a swim. It is sad because you can tell it was once a relaxing, pretty place to stay. Somebody needs to invest a lot of money into the property to bring it back.

The 1906 Pine Crest Inn is in fact family-owned by the Caudle Family. We are blessed to have wonderful hospitality professionals, including our hard-working housekeeping team, and they are always very appreciative of guests' thoughtful gratuities.
