The closest of Ashevilles bed and breakfast inns to the Biltmore Estate, Biltmore Village Inn is located on top of Reed Hill, above Biltmore Village. You can see why Samuel Reed, George Vanderbilts lawyer, situated his house here after he sold Vanderbilt the property for Biltmore Village. It commanded a 360-degree view of the mountains, and overlooked the Village and the Swannanoa River valley. The 1892 Queen Anne Victorian has been fully restored. Elegant in design, handsome in its museum-quality collections, furnished with every comfort, Biltmore Village Inn will fulfill your idea of what an inn should be. The unusually large bedrooms and baths have whirlpool tubs and some baths even have fireplaces. A full breakfast served in the dining room (often with guests sharing advice about what to do in town) gives a great start to the day.
