1900 Inn on Montford

The Inn was designed in 1900 by Richard Sharp Smith, Supervising Architect for Biltmore House. Today it is elegantly furnished with English and American antiques dating from 1730 to 1910.

The Inn has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored to create the inviting ambience of past splendor and elegance. Classical music, glowing fires, and the fragrance of roses set a mood that takes you back in time, capturing the romantic spirit of the Victorian era. We welcome you to indulge your every romantic inclination. Solitude awaits in the privacy of one of our four elegant guestrooms where you can lounge by your fire, relax in your whirlpool or snuggle in your magnificent antique half-tester bed. Or choose Zelda's Retreat, our secluded five-room suite.

Four of our exquisite guestrooms have private en suite baths, Queen size beds, and fireplaces. All baths have showers. Three baths have whirlpool baths and one a clawfoot tub.

Zelda's Retreat, our 1000 sq ft. five-room suite features a sitting room with fireplace and TV, private entrance and balcony, king size bed, marble bath with whirlpool, fireplace and TV, and a deluxe shower.

We serve a delicious three-course breakfast at 9 a.m. preceded by the arrival of coffee or tea to your room at 8. Our breakfast consists of a fruit course, savory egg course and dessert course. For example, you might have a yogurt, raspberry, banana parfait topped with kiwi fruit as your fruit course, shirred eggs American style, and for dessert homemade caramel rolls. With advance notice, we are happy to accommodate all dietary restrictions.

Relax in the late afternoon or early evening with a complimentary beverage in the period wicker furniture on our marvelous front porch. The porch is also the perfect place to sit and read in the comfortable chairs and rockers.
