Only 30-minutes northwest of Asheville, located in the still largely secluded mountains of Leicester - you will marvel at the quaint historical farmlands of corn and cattle - where at night you can see a full array of brilliantly lit stars! With undeniably one of the most inspiring mountain views around Asheville, Compassionate Expressions offers a respectively private & 'unplugged' low stimulus atmosphere (no internet, Wifi or TV) cradled in the middle of Mother Nature's palm. (We think Mother Nature is the best entertainment!) Don't take our word for it, even the local natives tell us, 'You're nestled in the prettiest cove in the area.' We call our retreat property Compassionate Expressions Mountain Inn & Healing Sanctuary because along with our mountain lodging, we offer professional quality in-house healing/spa services (for an extra fee): Therapeutic or Swedish Massage, Intuitive Reiki/Brennan/ Energy Healing, Past Life Regression and Guided Meditation. We also rent by appointment, two different Outdoor Whirlpool Hot Tubs by the creek as well as an Indoor Infrared Sauna. Our quality healing practitioners are committed to giving you personal attention around your health and well-being needs. Our goal is to send you home feeling inspired, renewed and relaxed! Enjoy 40 private acres with natural wildlife, pastureland, forest, mountain ridge, running creek and wild medicinal foliage. Our drinking water and outdoor Whirlpool Hot Tubs are sourced by natural spring fed well water with a healing unstructured Ph-level of 7.8 - better than any purified bottle water! We have outdoor patio sitting areas, a covered pavilion, Meditation Island, a community fire pit and charcoal BBQ stoves as well. Exploring the grounds is encouraged with some short hiking trails available. We also have a mini-farm with goats, organic laying hens and a pot bellied pig!. We also rent our property for workshops, reunions, spiritual self-growth events and gatherings of the heart. Please inquire about our events rental prices. Our check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and checkout is 11:00 a.m.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A place of undiluted healing Love
Where to start...! Arriving at Compassionate Expressions feels like entering a haven of peace outside of time and space. It's so unbelievably still and serene. You're hearing the creek flowing, the wind in the trees, feeling held by the mountains and--at the same time--invited into such a spaciousness to breathe and heal. My husband and I both did the Energy Cleansing and Past Life Regression sessions with Reva and massage with Tessa over two days. Reva has such an authenticity, humility, clarity, and openness about her. It's so clear that she has poured her whole life into using her spiritual gifts to serve others and built this place out of that heart. With that obvious alignment, I immediately felt welcome and supported in our sessions. I was new to these modalities and Reva was wonderful about walking me through each part. It felt like exactly what I needed at that precise point in my life. I'm so grateful for the way she's sharing her gifts, her space, and the story of what led here there. Please ask about the origins of the Temple when you're there...It is as astounding as the experience of being inside. It feels like you're surrounded by pure Love! Massage with Tessa was also a gorgeous experience. I've never had a massage so powerful yet gentle. Having that body work in tandem with all the energetic work was amazing. Plus, the hot tub under the stars, hiking up the mountain, walking by the creek in the morning--profound healing and rest on so many levels! I would describe this place and their offerings as undiluted healing Love. We will definitely be coming back and I want everyone I know to experience it as well!

Simply AMAZING
I can't say enough good things about my exoeriance and stay. Let's start with the fact that Reba called me the day before my arrival to make sure that I received her directions because there was no service up there and she wanted ro make sure we got there ok , then exided proceeded telling me how she wanted to surprise us and was going to upgrade us to a cabin rather than a room for no extra charge , I thought this was such a nice thing to do for complete stranger, incredibly nice .The cabin was amazing it had a fireplace in the room which i absolutely loved. Everything was super clean and the kitchen had everything you need .The mountain view and creek behind the house are just breathtaking and beautiful .I had a sound healing session at the temple which was also very nice .We enjoyed our time in the hot tub also .Everything was just absolutely perfect. A really amazing and relaxing experiance .I also enjoyed the little trail up the mountain behind the property, the views were just breathtaking

Beautiful experience of inspiration, peace, and serenity
This lovely inn and spa is nestled in nature and offered everything I desired, I left fully rejuvenated. If you seek peace and solitude, you will find it here in addition to hiking, exploring nature, or a spiritual retreat in the breathtakingly beautiful temple built on this sacred land. Reba is beautiful and a joy to know. My room was clean with a kitchenette and large spacious rooms. I especially loved the flannel sheets. I slept like a baby in the fresh mountain air. I will most certainly be returning at the earliest convenience and look forward to the friendly atmosphere and experiencing nature high upon the mountain top. An experience I will never forget!

Incredibly Healing Mountain Retreat
This place was the best! Beautiful setting with amazing mountain views, lovely host, many amenities for relaxation--including hot tub under the stars (and beside a babbling brook), sauna, massage, and energy healing. Sparkling clean, spacious, and an easy drive from Chapel Hill. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Will be back!!

My little Home Away From Home
I absolutely love the time I spend at Compassionate Expressions. I'm able to unplug and recharge (which sounds contradicting, but definately isn't 😆)so I can juggle my crazy life at home. Reva is great! I can't wait to go back again.

Perfect spot for much needed renewal
Great location for getting away from it all and unwinding. The property is gorgeous, surrounded by nature, quiet, secluded, and well kept. Great communication and interactions with the owner. Definitely plan to stay again when possible!

Compassionate Expressions: Natural and Spiritual Bliss
My girlfriend and I stayed in the Inner Quest room and it perfectly served our needs for the four-day rest. Without wifi or TV, we were able to fully enjoy and appreciate Reva's blessed property and the company of her and all of her animal family. The place is a living testament to love and the divine feminine. Reva is a gifted healer and what she has done with the property is awe-inspiring. We booked the hot tub, past life regression, and energy healing (as well as spending time in the Temple of the Awakening Heart), and all of them were wonderful experiences that pointed to where attention is needed. It is a place that embraces you as you are, while also nudging you toward your path. A natural haven nestled in the hills that nourishes the spirit. You can come and just spend time outdoors or book services with Reva and refresh yourself spiritually. Either way, you will leave feeling more aligned, balanced, and fulfilled than when you arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough. -- With love from Dan and Corinna

Welcome respite
I was in Asheville for business, and found a breath of fresh air at Compassionate Expressions Mountain Inn. From massage and hot tub to energy work to the sheer beauty and quiet, this was a wonderful choice. I can't wait to return.
