The North Carolina mountains long have been a destination for travelers seeking refreshment in a setting of natural beauty and warm hospitality. As a result, guest accommodations are many and varied in the Asheville area. They range from the Grove Park Inn resort established in 1913, to modern hotels, motels, country inns, rustic lodges and bed and breakfast at elegant Victorian homes or working farms. Vacation homes and cabins also are available. Campgrounds are numerous.

Bed and breakfast accommodations are particularly plentiful in Western North Carolina, where there are about 250 such establishments. Asheville alone has more than 50. Many have been established in turn-of-the-century or '20s era mansions when Asheville attracted many wealthy and discriminating travelers, among them George W. Vanderbilt. While a guest in a downtown Asheville hotel, Vanderbilt admired the view and decided to build his home, Biltmore House.

There is something intrinsically charming about being able to say, "We've got a country inn planned for the weekend." The term "country inn" itself, conjures the image of a sturdy old log structure with a broad front porch filled with rockers, fluffy quilts on the beds, and the lingering scent of smoke from cozy fireplaces. Truth is, country inns are just as versatile and varied as hotels and bed and breakfasts these days. Western North Carolina certainly has its share of traditional old inns, too numerous to recount in one go.
