I stayed in the Blake House earlier this year, and had a wonderful time. I was very pleased with the look of the home, and found managment to be not only friendly, but very helpful. I liked that I was...

In an area where almost EVERYONE is very gracious and welcoming, we were VERY disappointed in what could and should have been a lovely B & B stay. The "bed" part was acceptable as we were in the...

As a single Innkeeper, I try to allow guests to help themselves as much as possible so that they don't have to rely on finding me when they want something. I find that many people prefer to take care...

Don't go, poor management

I stayed in the mid-range magnolia room. It was clear within minutes of arrival that the bed & mattress were unacceptable. Imagine a bed that you woudn't be able to give away, think old 100$ mattress....

I can appreciate when a guest does not like a room or a feature about a room; however, professionalism and tact are always warranted when dealing with someone's property or when speaking to them. I...

A girlfriend of mine and I opted to go to this B&B for a girls weekend since my husband is in a wheelchair and he was unable to go. The pictures on their website do it NO justice!! The property is...

The guests are absolutely correct about the a/c at that time. We were having excessively hot weather (90s and 100s) and my poor a/c system was working very hard to keep up. We had it serviced and...

I was very disappointed in the hospitality at the Blake House Inn. The innkeeper was very unfriendly and was not welcoming at all. One morning she served the guests breakfast and didn't say a word...

Lacks Southern Charm!

Being from North Carolina, we expected a bed and breakfast in Asheville to be full of Southern Charm. The B&B is owned by a single lady and it definately shows. The home is in need of many repairs. ...

Just dropping a line to recommend Leslie and her lovely inn to all those headed to Asheville. She was the perfect hostess, making us feel welcome & offering all the amenities of a hotel w/so much...

Getting a room in Asheville any weekend in the fall is SO hard, I was not expecting much from literally the last room available anywhere near the city. Wrong. Blake House is cheaper than a lot of...

Beautiful Place and Even Better Innkeepers

Because I'm not the kind of person who minds a little bit of driving (I mean you probably go to Asheville expecting to do a lot of driving anyway), Blake House is perfect. It's mid-way between...
