There are poo bags for the better, responsible pet owners and most are so. There are protected swans and geese everywhere, which adds to the beauty. Most of the walkers are friendly. Plenty of places to stop and sit to take it in or meditate. There's even dining if you're making an evening of it-including a crepe shoppe and ice cream shoppe. Please clean up after your pets, to keep this gracious area pet friendly!

The location is beautiful. Chef Paul is an extreme treat in this out of the way locale. The cabins were comforting and peaceful. To top off the weekend we were privileged to see a Bald Eagle soar over the lake, harvest breakfast from the abundant fish and enjoying eating as the early morning fog rolled across the surface of the calming waters. For any event to individual retreats this is THE PLACE!

Had a yummy beer and split a Philly cheese steak. Sandwich was very good. Bun was nice and soft. Meat very tasty. Fries were different, kinda thick curly things. They were good just not our thing.

We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other folks at our table. Always nice to share restaurant and touring tips. The menu is based on what is fresh. Our menu consisted of beef pot roast, pork roast, amazing cabbage casserole, famous tomato pie, green beans, tossed salad with yummy dressing, beets, carrots, garlic mashed potatoes, hot fluffy rolls, and cranberry orange poundcake. If you are a vegetarian, fear not. Plenty of delicious, fresh vegetables. It was like grandma reads Bon Appetite but also sticks to the favorites. BYO wine or cocktails.

I will start by saying I am bias when it comes to this course not only is it a beautiful mountain…read morecourse it is where I scored my first "Hole In One". I will get the bragging out of the way Hole #8 149 Yards - 8 Iron was the weapon of choice I must admit it wasn't a beautiful shot but effective. I actually topped the ball slightly a quick trip to the front side of the green a few bounces 1 - 2 - 3 in the hole. This would be a memorable course without the above mentioned. The course provides everything you want in a mountain course plenty of elevation changes of course a very scenic back scape and a lots of challenges.You would be well advised to manage the course don't let the wide open feeling fool you there are some tight fairways that are very deceiving so pick your shots carefully and enjoy a great venue. The staff is extremely friending and outgoing, The pro shop is adequate and the cocktails are poured generously in the club house. You know I will be back and I can assure you this experience won't disappoint you.

I think for the cost to play there are better options. There were to many blind shots for my…read moretaste. A few holes have blind tee shots with severely sloped fairways that you would have had to of played it before in order to have a chance. It was in fair condition for mid June but the grass in some green side areas was so long that you could lose your ball. Playing it out if you found it was nearly impossible. I wouldn't play it again for 50% of what I paid.

East West is a gorgeously decorated venue space in West Asheville on Haywood Rd. This space can be…read morerented out hourly and has a capacity of 50. I have been here many times-mostly for pop up craft/art shows, once for a 20's themed birthday party and most importantly, for my own wedding rehearsal dinner. Renting the space for the rehearsal dinner was easy and the owners were super helpful and accommodating. Their contract is very clear and their prices are very, very reasonable! We had 50 people total for the event and when we arrived the night of the party, they had the space set up for us with their dining tables and lovely chairs arranged as well as a serving station and bar area. Their furniture is what makes this place so incredible really-they have absolutely beautiful mismatched furniture, vintage and rustic looking. This is the type of space that you see all over Pinterest. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a small event venue for a wedding or birthday party. I wish I had better photos to add to Yelp because it really is an absolutely gorgeous space!

This is such a cute little venue! I attended a Yelp Elite…read moreparty here a week back and had an excellent time. I never knew this event space even existed! I was told that renting it out on a weekday is super reasonable- only $65 an hour. You can't beat that! I love hosting large parties at my home, but I can never fit the amount of guests that I want in my tiny little home. Anyway, the venue was set up in a beautiful way- full of antique and vintage furniture items. They have restrooms, but I'm not sure if they have a kitchen. I've been told that they will set up the room however you'd like it. When I was there, they had out three very long tables and I think there were about 50 of us. They have a few parking spaces but I was able to park in the alley to the right of the building. Not sure if that's allowed. I will DEFINITELY be planning my next big event here! What a fun place!

I had a lovely afternoon tea at The Book & Bee last year (2025), so I would give this place four to…read morefive stars for that experience alone. I tried to go back this year, and am so appalled by the customer service (or lack thereof) that I will now give it 0 stars, so settled for two since I can't do two and a half. Yes, the food and ambiance were wonderful in 2025. I tried to book another afternoon tea party and called a month and a half in advance. This was to celebrate multiple birthdays with a group of busy moms so wanted to get it on the calendar. No one called me back despite the voicemail saying that we would hear back "promptly." I left two more messages in a span of two, three weeks and still nothing. I even emailed, no response. Finally, a friend stopped by in person and was told that the cafe would be short staffed the weekend we wanted the reservation for so the manager needs to see if there are enough people working before confirming. Okay....but why wouldn't you call back to tell me that? Our requested reservation is tomorrow and I still have not heard back from anyone. This is abysmal customer service. As mentioned, food was good but not good enough to treat potential customers like this. Hard pass from now on and will not go back or recommend. *Editing to respond to Victoria -- those were the dates I called and left voicemails. Perhaps there was a phone issue on your end, but I did not even get a missed call. My friend who stopped by in person spoke to a manager. She had to go by twice due to the manager not being available the first time. I also did not get an email response.

Not only was the decor and aesthetic inviting and so detailed but the food was delicious and the service amazing (Jade). We went all out with cauliflower bisque, two different teas and scones (The Hobbit and The Highlander teas), a blueberry cobbler cheesecake and a limoncello. Every part of the meal was delicious. We absolutely will be back and can't wait to try the other teas. We also were able to take the leftovers for our tea pots and this makes me so excited! So many great bookish references -- it made my nerd heart happy
