Overpriced for this very average B & B. I would not recommend it to others.

The Inn was in a good location to sightsee the Biltmore and downtown. There were no breakfast choices, only the item they fixed for the day: A sweeter thing one day and a more savory the following day.

The room needed some general upkeep. There were holes in the walls where items had been removed and those fairly large holes had just been painted over, not patched (in bathroom and above the dresser in bedroom where a larger TV had been). Although the bed linens were clean, they were old, the pillows were so flat, the mattress was lumpy and hard, and all of them smelled like a very fragrant fabric softener had been used. The room walls needed to be washed or repainted, especially where the luggage rack was located. The toilet was located so close to the bathtub, it was uncomfortable and we aren't tall people!

What could be better than a beautiful spring weekend in Asheville?

Location is wonderful. Montford Park -- historic Asheville Area; beautiful neighborhood. 20 minute walk to downtown. We had substitutes for the owners - consumate innkeepers John and Nicky from Virginia were great. There are several superb restaurants less than 10 minute walk away.

Would have liked earlier breakfast (earlier than 9:00 AM), but that may be a matter of taste. John and Nicky worked around our schedule the one day we needed an earlier start.

In general it was a bit run down and they didn't pay attention to detail. It could be much better.

it was quiet and close to downtown. The owners were nice.

breakfast It was at 9 o'clock which was too later for us. The coffee was luke warm that they left out and there wasn't any cream or milk, just powdered cream. We didn't stay for breakfast so it may have been good. The room didn't have anywhere to set and the bathroom toilet was very small and in a bad place.

Like living in Asheville in the time of Thomas Wolfe but with modern amenities.

Charming house and rooms. Old early 20th century interior but with modern amenities. Proprieters were genuine and sincerely friendly and helpful but didn't linger too long. Treats (brownies and 7 am coffee delivered to door) were unexpected. The location in Asheville is perfect - 10 minute leafy walk to downtown but outside the hustle and bustle for the stay.

AC was a little loud but this is a minor thing.

A home away from home

The inn is a beautiful old house and the room was very cosy. Karen and Steve are fantastic hosts and made us feel so welcome and at home. Breakfasts were delicious. Everything from the coffee tray at 7.30, to the breakfast menu, to the chats to the little treats feels like a labour of love. Would certainly stay here again if we are in the area.

Nothing! Location is about 20-25 mins walk from downtown - easy to get cabs and we found it a nice walk, so didn’t have any trouble.

Lovely stay in Asheville's historic district!

My sister and I traveled here for our Asheville reunion, and we had a lovely time staying in the historic district. We were able to easily walk to downtown Asheville and take an affordable Uber ride to the River Arts District as well. The innkeepers were amazing; they were helpful and kind and gave us bonus treats every day. My sister and I both hope to return again in the future!

Wonderful stay in a lovely Historic Inn with freindly warm InnKeeper/Owners

The service was exceptional. The room was lovely. The breakfast each morning was very good.

It would have been nice to have a pot of coffee for self service downstairs in the morning.

A beautiful house in a gorgeous neighborhood, with welcoming hosts and amazing food

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Lion and the Rose. The neighborhood is gorgeous, very peaceful and great to talk an evening stroll around. Our bed was comfortable and the room was spotlessly clean. This is an old house and has quirky features, so don't go expecting the bathroom to be like the Four Seasons with giant marble countertops. It's a wonderful property full of charm and character, and each room reflects that. Breakfast was exceptional, we chose to have ours outside on our second morning and it was lovely to sit on the porch and enjoy a delicious meal. Coffee outside the room every morning was such a nice touch, and Karen even prepared homemade 'sweet treats' each afternoon. We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful owners that responded quickly and were very friendly. Beautiful spacious rooms and inviting covered front porch with lots of seating.

The air conditioning was very noisy. Breakfast was delicious, but we would have preferred at least cook to order eggs as an option.
