We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts each morning and decided to have dinner there each night. We dined outside at sunset. The dinners were well-prepared and wonderful. The staff chilled and... More

“Heaven in the NC mountains”

Reviewed 27 May 2013

We just returned from our second visit to Sourwood Inn, and we know there will be many more. This beautiful inn is nestled right in the midst of the trees on a mountain ridge; there couldn't be a lovelier setting. Whether you're looking for a place to get away from it all or a base from which to see Asheville... More

Hello and Thank you so much for the glowing review. As I said you were having my kind of vacation! Your efforts to promote Sourwood are so appreciated! More

“Peaceful mountain retreat near Asheville”

Reviewed 20 May 2013

We recently enjoyed our first visit to the Sourwood Inn and can't wait to go back. The Innkeepers couldn't be more warm, friendly and eager to share their love of the mountains with the guests. They are lifelong residents of Asheville and a great resource for any thing you want to do in the area. The wildflowers were in full... More

Oh, Thanks for the great and thoughtful review. It is guests who keep Sourwood going. If you are in need of more peace, hope we can help:) More

“Our first visit but hopefully not our last!”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

We recently spent 3 wonderful days at the Sourwood. We went there on the recommendation of friends, and have recommended the Sourwood to several of our friends since we've returned. We echo the responses of other TA advisors about the many attributes of the Sourwood. We stayed on the 2nd floor in room 6 and recommend that floor for the... More

The Inn is tastefully decorated in an Arts & Craft style with great fireplaces, local art, and nice architectural details. There were sweet and savory snacks in the lobby when we arrived, which we sampled with the wine we had brought with us.... More

I have stayed many times at the Sourwood Inn, and it a very special place. For a wonderful get-away for romance, rest, or simply a great place to explore Asheville, this is the place. The rooms are wonderful--spacious, plenty of antiques and character but with a clean touch, and a gorgeous bath that makes you feel beautiful. The staff is... More

“Charming & relaxing...”

The drive in is definitely not for the faint-hearted...or large SUVs! It's one lane in and out and whew...terrible steep down one side with no guardrail. Not a good idea to arrive in the dark, that's for sure! But if you are looking for peace & tranquility a bit off the beaten path, you have found it. Less than 15... More

“Perfect.”

Reviewed 12 March 2013

Could not have asked for a better weekend getaway. Comfortable, clean, warm, inviting. Felt at home right away. This is not just because of the facilities - the folks who run it make it so much more special. Just the right amount of privacy. The views from the room - and bathroom - are amazing. Lots of stuff to do... More

My wife and I discovered this wonderful 12 room inn about 9 years ago when it was written up in Southern Living.
