Larry and Nancy
Merrill are your
hosts in this
fine, old
colonial
turn-of-the-century
Asheville bed
and breakfast.
Located in the
historic
Montford
District of
Asheville, North
Carolina,
Applewood Manor
Inn sits on its
quiet acre and a
half of 'country
in the city'
surrounded by
giant oaks,
pines, maples
and other trees.
Yet the Manor is
just 3 miles
from the
breathtaking
Biltmore Estate,
a short 10
-minute drive to
slip onto the
Blue Ridge
Parkway and a 25
-minute stroll
past magnificent
old homes to
Asheville
downtown.
In a time when
so much is
overlooked in
the
hustle-bustle
and time
starvation, we
invite you to
romance
yourselves with
a stay at our
lovely
Asheville, NC
bed and
breakfast to
discover a
personalized
pampering
experience
rather than a
cold and
impersonal hotel
or motel. By
paying
particular
attention to
fine details, we
take extra pride
and care in
making your stay
with us
relaxing,
memorable and
having a touch
of elegance even
while you use
our free Wi-Fi
to check your
emails.
We believe in
privacy and
intimacy, which
is why we have
kept the
common areas
on the first
floor so open
and large.
We want you to
find your
private spot to
reconnect and
relax; so
luxuriate in the
formal dining
room or parlor
as well as the
large living
room and the
many common area
porches and
balconies.
Our goal is to
tailor your
visit to your
wishes and by
doing so we hope
to make your
stay special.
When you arrive
we want you to
kick off your
shoes, put your
feet up and make
yourselves at
home. Let
us make you feel
you have
traveled back to
a time when your
happiness and
comfort was our
sole purpose in
life.
Check in and
unwind from your
travels with a
complimentary
social hour
beverages & treats in a
rocker on one of
five porches. If
you'd like,
we'll help you
plan your next
day's adventures
of climbing Mt.
Mitchell (the
highest peak
east of the
Mississippi) or
taking a train
ride through the
Smoky Mountains.
Maybe we can
help you plan a
day of
whitewater
rafting/kayaking,
hiking to view a
multitude of
natural
waterfalls, or a
visit to one of
many local
historical
attractions of
Asheville,
"Land of the
Sky".
Asheville was
also
recently dubbed
by The New York
Times Travel ,
on September 30,
2007, the “Paris
of the South”
and 20/20
television
(January 2008)
has reported the
newest research
that Asheville
is ’the happiest
city’ in the
USA. Finally,
Fromm’s has
recently voted
this special
city as one of
the top ten
destinations in
the world
(2007)!
After a busy day
exploring all
that this region
has to offer,
retire to your
spacious
guestroom
arrayed with
fine linens,
fresh flowers
and rich
chocolates on
your pillow.
Dock your iPod
in the clock
radio and relax
to your favorite
music or curl up
in from of the
cozy, working
fireplaces and
get a refreshing
night's sleep.
Awaken to the
smell of the
Manor’s
fresh fare.
Enjoy a cup of
fresh-brewed
coffee or hot
tea by the
fireside or
lounge on one of
the Manor’s
multiple porches
while Nancy &
Larry prepare
your
three-course
breakfast.
Served on
antique china
under candle
light, with a
variety of
enticing entrees
fit for the
Lords and Ladies
of the Manor,
your breakfast
is so
substantial that
we doubt you
will be hungry
for lunch!
After breakfast
you may be off
for a stroll to
the nearby
Botanical
Gardens just a
quarter mile
away
or a walk
through the
historic
neighborhood for
a peaceful start
to your day's
activities. For
a more active
start to the
day, Montford
Park is less
than a quarter
block away and
is perfect for a
game of tennis,
or you might
enjoy a game of
croquet or
badminton in the
Manor's
backyard.
Upon your return
from your
adventures,
pause a while
with a calming
beverage with
cheese and
crackers, a good
conversation, a
good book, or
catch up on news
and sports on
the communal
remote control
flat screen TV
in the living
room. A relaxed
and comfortable
evening will
have you looking
forward to
another day of
living well and
being pampered
under the
cordial roof
here at
AppleWood Manor
Inn.
