I've always been skeptical of reviews full of over-the-top raves and exclamations (one is too many for me), but as the title suggests, I may have joined the fray of frothy reviewers (!), but I will attempt to be objective. No doubt my impressions were affected by my love of Asheville and my now-stronger desire to retire there. My wife,... More

Fantastic B&B. Jim and Linda made me feel so welcomed and safe. The breakfasts are absolutely scrumptious and I skipped lunch the whole time during my stay. I also had amazing dinners at Cucina 24, Bouchon, Tupelo Honey Cafe, and Limiones. I can't wait to come back to this foodie town some day!!!! There is no better place to stay... More

There is a soft sound as someone leaves a tray with coffee in front of your door. Downstairs in the dining room the table is decorated... More

We have stayed at 10 B&B's in Asheville and this ranks at the top. Jim and Linda are gracious hosts and our four day stay was very enjoyable. Beautiful home, great food, close to town and quiet. We look forward to a return visit.

We spent two nights at the Lion and the Rose and found it utterly charming. The regular innkeepers were away but we were made very welcome by Keke, the assistant innkeeper. We had a thorough tour of the B & B and a good explanation of what was available. Our room (the Marion Hall room) was beautiful - very large,... More

We were just in town overnight for business, but completely enjoyed our stay at the Lion and the Rose. We will be back!

This B&B was the perfect place for our mother-daughter getaway! Great value. Clean and comfortable, with a beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful hosts! The food was delectable and beautifully presented. Easy walk to the shops and restaurants in Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Biltmore Estate. We enjoyed all of it! Thank you, Jim and Linda!
