The Lion and The Rose, providing bed and breakfast lodging in the Montford Historic District, offers exceptional value in Asheville, North Carolina. The inn, a circa 1895 Georgian-style mansion, is within walking distance of downtown and within minutes of the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The interior is uniquely furnished and decorated with antiques, Persian rugs, and period appointments. The high embossed ceilings, original golden oak, four fireplaces, and the classic leaded and stained glass windows all serve to create an enchanting atmosphere.

Each guest accommodation has a queen bed and private bath, fresh flowers, luxury robes and linens, and chocolates. In addition to the four guest rooms on the second floor and the third-floor suite, the inn has two parlors, a formal dining room, an inglenook with fireplace, and a large foyer. Wireless Internet access is now available throughout the inn.

The verandah overlooks a lush park-like setting with 100-year-old sugar maples, flower gardens, and a gently sloping lawn.

Delicious, full gourmet breakfasts consisting of specially blended coffee, English teas, fresh fruit, and varied entrees are prepared daily by the resident chef. Coffee or tea is delivered to your door each morning before breakfast.
