The 1900 Inn on Montford is a lovely old house in the Montford Historic District just north (across the freeway) of Downtown Asheville. Here are the pros and cons of our stay:
Pros: We arrived a tad early but were greeted warmly, given a tour of the mansion, and shown to our room upstairs. The ground level of the house is first rate, with a beautiful sun room where wine is served in the afternoon, a shady veranda with lounge chairs, and a pleasant dining room where the communal breakfast is served. The B&B is in a quiet, very accessible neighborhood no more than 10-15 minutes from just about anywhere you would want to go (the owners complained about Asheville traffic, but we couldn't find any). There is easy parking in the rear yard. Beds were quite comfortable. The B&B owners are friendly and helpful about dining suggestions. If you are there on a Saturday night, live music (bluegrass) is played by several first-rate musicians.
Cons: Breakfasts were just OK food-wise, but the folks around the table were terrific. They were from all over the USA. Our room was OK, but none of the doors closed properly (old house syndrome, I guess).
