Cedar Crest Inn - A historic Victorian mansion with manicured gardens near Biltmore Estate
Located on a meticulously maintained 3-acre property, Cedar Crest Inn occupies a pink and white Queen Victorian mansion from 1891. This 3-star Asheville hotel features elegantly furnished rooms across the main mansion, cottage, and carriage house. Each morning, guests enjoy a two-course breakfast served from 8:30-9:30 AM in the dining room or outdoor veranda. The property offers free WiFi, complimentary parking, and daily fresh-baked cookies. Guest rooms come equipped with modern amenities, including flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms, many featuring classic claw-foot tubs. The grand foyer showcases oak paneling, a Tiffany stained glass window, and an Arts and Crafts fireplace. Cedar Crest Inn sits just half a mile from Biltmore Estate's entrance and 1.5 miles from downtown's restaurants and breweries.
Pros
Original Victorian architectural details including spindled woodwork and 12-foot ceilings
Four acres of gardens with walking paths and outdoor seating areas
Continental breakfast features locally roasted coffee and fresh baked goods
Multiple buildings offer diverse accommodation options from antique to modern styles
Cons
Two-night minimum required on most weekends
Limited dining options within immediate walking distance
“Cedar Crest Inn evokes a bygone era, a refuge with authentic Victorian grace. Its charm lies not just in the architecture, but the warm hospitality that makes it more than a place to stay. I can imagine lingering in those gardens after a hearty breakfast, feeling quite removed from the everyday despite Asheville's attractions being so close.”
