I absolutely love this bed & breakfast. We've spent the past two New Year's getaways here and count Susan and John as the best hosts we've encountered in our travels. The historic home is stunningly beautiful and conveniently located by car near Downtown Asheville or the Biltmore. The three-course breakfasts, claw-foot tubs, in-room fireplaces, huge front porch, access to coffee/tea/water/wine, hospitality, and house-made cookies available around the clock are some of my favorite features. We don't usually stay in the same place twice but have begun making this an annual tradition...it's just that good! read more

Totally enjoyed our stay here, would highly recommend. The room was comfortable, the grounds were beautiful and peaceful, the hosts were personable, friendly and shared lots of information. The breakfasts were amazing, always something different, always delicious and beautifully presented. Lots of little extras, no detail was overlooked. If we could rate it more than 5 stars we absolutely would. read more

We had the opportunity to come across this sweet gem! We were looking for a quick short trip. When we arrived we were greeted by the owners Susan and John who showed us around and offered us a glass of wine and the flourless chocolate cake, at this point I told my husband we didn't need to go anywhere else. We sat on the beautiful porch, watched the sunset and recharged our souls in peace. We loved our spacious room and got the relaxation we were looking for. We had to head out the next day but before we left we had yummy breakfast John prepared...Avocado Toast which was delicious! Thank you for the smiles and generosity. We cant wait to come back! ***COVID-19 - The owners followed all health/safety guidelines and took extra precautions to ensure things were extra sanitized to make sure we felt safe/protected. read more

A comfy bed in a quiet and lovely room. A cheese souffle breakfast accompanied by a baked pear and chocolate mousse. The hosts are lovely and welcoming and all the staff are utterly pleasant. read more

Simply the best B&B that we've stayed at. The room was lovely and well appointed. The breakfasts were 5 star and the hosts struck the perfect balance of being hospitable and giving us space. The home baked cookies, bottled water, wine and coffee were all welcomed. We would stay here again anytime we're in Asheville read more

My favorite time to travel is off season, Asheville in the winter is most enjoyable. I zipped to Sweet Biscuit Inn for a night and had a lovely stay. Sometimes it is hit or miss in old houses. All the rooms have remodeled bathrooms. So it is the best of both worlds, charming house with modern ammenities. This place would be amazing for a bridal party to rent the whole house. There are 7 rooms plus a carriage house. The owners are really welcoming. Cheap, quick Uber ride away from downtown, great place to stay in Asheville. read more

Great house, amazing food, and the nicest hosts! Sweet Biscuit Inn was a great spot for our girls weekend. Susan greeted us with a glass of bubbles and fresh cookies while John built a fire in one of their guest-room fireplaces and brought our luggage to the rooms. After spending our days exploring Asheville (eating, drinking, and shopping our way through this great city) it was nice to come back to adjoining rooms with our own private sitting area for late night girl talk! We had amazing breakfasts-- bloody Mary deviled eggs, homemade sweet potato biscuits, spinach, tomato and goat cheese frittata, and the Greek yogurt with homemade lemon curd were on my list of favorites. The nice touches were everywhere--fresh flowers, chocolates, mini fridges stocked with water--the list goes on! I highly recommend Sweet Biscuit for your next get away! read more

We discovered this very sweet Sweet Biscuit Inn through Yelp. What a find. Not only is the beautiful home well located, and the service great, but the breakfasts are out of this world! We enjoyed every morsel of Claudia's 3 course breakfast menu, and eating all together at the dining room tables with the other guests was such a very nice touch. Thank you Christian and Claudia for a wonderful respite. We'll be back. read more

Awesome bed and breakfast and beautifully kept by it's owners- service and hospitality was exceptional- will def stay there again!

Sweet Biscuit Inn is a wonderful bed-and-breakfast in the Kensington neighborhood of Asheville. I highly recommend staying here for a weekend in Asheville - the location is very close to downtown and very convenient. The house itself is over 100 years old and has been well cared for. John and Susan have created a warm and welcoming place! The yard has beautiful plants , flowering bushes, just gorgeous place to look at from the large front porch. The accommodations were spotless, the sheets amazing, John made a wonderful breakfast every day, and there were homemade cookies and treats all day. We will definitely be back, thank y'all so much!!! read more

As we pulled up to this lovely Victorian home festooned in garland and white lights, we knew we were in for a magical stay. Susan greeted us at the door with freshly baked white chocolate and cranberry cookies and two glasses of pinot noir. John carried our bags to the room, so we could relax on the spacious landing with a library and a baby grand piano (I even got to try out some old middle school piano pieces). Our room in the main house was spacious with a well-appointed bathroom. The shower got hot quickly and had good water pressure. The shower head was even high enough for people over six feet! The Inn is in a fabulous location close to a great park with walking paths along the river. The Biltmore Mansion and Biltmore Village are also closeby. It's basically close to everything, but you get to sleep in a quiet neighborhood. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! We had a long drive and left at 7am, but Susan and John still woke up early to make sure we had breakfast to take with us. We are so grateful for their amazing hospitality. read more

Love love love this place. Warm and inviting. John your breakfasts are the best. The bed was comfy and the breakfasts were superb. Enjoyed sharing stories with John and Susan. See you again! read more

Your future hosts, Claudia and Christian, have created a charming, elegant haven in the heart of Asheville, NC. Very welcoming atmosphere with a variety of stylish, comfy living quarters adapted to suit the solo traveler to a family of four with a pooch and more. Careful consideration was taken to insure guests' needs with particular attention to dietary preferences. After all, you're selecting a B&B, and our hosts took special care to prepare a wonderful full-course, fixed menu (w/dietary exceptions of course) for the sit-down Sunday breakfast. It's the little personal touches that I fell in love with though...sweet teddies in tiny rockers, rubber ducks for bathtime, terry bathrobes, local maps, complimentary sweet bites, etc. Want for nothing and get a great night's sleep in one of the quietest neighborhoods imaginable. We shall return! Bonuses: We truly appreciated the discounted tickets (available to all guests) for a two-day tour of the Biltmore Estate. Made our trip! In addition, Claudia and Christian are the consummate Asheville guides; peruse their personal favorites from restaurants to tourist attractions waiting tableside in your room. Happy travels! :) read more

My husband and I stayed here last month and were surrounded with luxury and pampering. From the kind after-hours welcome (the owners stayed up to make sure we arrived safe and sound after midnight) and welcome package to the most comfortable bed and then to wake to a THREE-COURSE gourmet breakfast, I can honestly say we were treated like royalty. The breakfast was so wonderful and I am hard-pressed to think of the last time I had such a feast in the morning hours. On the Sunday morning of our stay we were treated to custom-made crepes. Heavenly. Claudia and Christian were wonderful hosts and we could not have had a better experience. I know were we will stay next time we visit Asheville. Highly Recommended!!! read more

My first comment to Susan when we arrived was " We're not leaving". This restored home is amazing in a quiet neighborhood. The attention to detail, the delicious meals and the totally relaxed atmosphere is amazing (a word overused!) Our favorite was sitting on the front porch, sipping wine and listing to the birds, dogs, children. Thank you John and Susan! We'll be back! read more

Great bed and breakfast. The rooms are large, clean, and beautifully decorated. The breakfasts were phenomenal. Each breakfast of our three-day stay was different--fresh home-made biscuits and muffins, quiche, bacon, sausage, and french toast. Robert and Angela are wonderful hosts, both are funny, interesting, and warm. I hope you have an opportunity to enjoy their hospitality as much as we did. read more

This was our first time staying at a B&B and we absolutely loved it! we were traveling with all of our siblings and so we booked the carriage house and a room in the main house. We only stayed for a night and it was fantastic! the service was great and our hosts were lovely people. The bathrooms and the bedrooms were extremely clean, I saw the cleaning ladies come in during the afternoon and they took their own sweet time cleaning which was a pleasant surprise =) also, I left my sunglasses on the Porch and Chrisitan was really thoughtful, he mailed them to my house! Breakfast was great too, overall a perfect day/night spent with my husband and all our siblings! read more

What a great little bed and breakfast. The hosts are very gracious, and you can tell that they put in a lot of hard work to make everyone's stay very enjoyable. Our room was very nice and quite comfortable. Everything was quiet and peaceful, and honestly my favorite part of the whole stay was just sitting on the porch swing in the cool night air. That and the fact that a fresh plate of cookies magically appears on the table in the foyer every evening. Breakfasts were good, but that's probably the one place where I'd say they could improve. I think that they perhaps overcomplicate the experience a bit. Adventurous dining options (salmon and asparagus quiches, etc) don't always mesh perfectly with diverse groups of strangers. They may do well gravitating back toward a more standard classic-style American breakfast. All in all, however, we greatly enjoyed our time there and will certainly return in the future if we have the opportunity. read more

The Sweet Biscuit Inn was our first Bed and Breakfast experience and it surpassed all expectations. We were a little skeptical of staying at a Bed and Breakfast but this place has changed our preference going forward. Much better experience than any hotel we have ever stayed in. Christian and Claudia were very accommodating and we had So much privacy as well. We will only stay here in the future and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! read more

This was just what we needed. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Christian, who gave us a tour and got us settled. Everything was perfect there. The room was impeccably clean. The bathroom was beautiful with a large claw foot tub fit for a relaxing bath, and it was so clean I wasn't afraid to indulge in one. Breakfast is served promptly at 8:30, with all guest gathered together in the dining room. Christian describes the dishes that Claudia has expertly crafted. And let me tell you, the breakfast are to die for. Every bite is delicious and you leave the table fully sated. One morning we had crepes as our third course and they were nothing short of divine. In addition, their attention to detail is impeccable. Upon realizing I was left handed from there on out they placed my silverware to the left. At check in they asked if either us preferred decaf coffee over regular, and because I do, they brewed some for me each morning. Also, they saw I carried a personal thermos for water each day and they made sure to get it and fill it with ice and fresh water each morning. It's the little things like that, that really set this place apart from other B&Bs. The house itself is beautiful and was surprisingly quiet. When I pointed this out to them, they explained they had spent quit a bit of money to upgrade the insulation and sound proof the inn. They were excited that I had noticed how quiet our room was even though they were hosting a small party one evening. We literally could not hear a peep. What was even more impressive to me was the fact that I never wanted for hot water in my shower. I figured with all the other guest there I'd be fighting for hot water and water pressure, but that just wasn't the case. Everything was perfect. The location is a 5 minute drive to downtown, maybe even three if you catch the lights right. And there is ample parking in one of the garages. I was glad we didn't stay right downtown. It was so much nicer to have a luxurious quiet place to come back to in the evenings. Overall, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. This is where you go when you really want to treat yourself to the best Asheville has to offer. read more

Loved the Sweet Biscuit Inn. Rooms were so comfy and quaint. Perfect place for our weekend in Asheville. Susan and John couldn't have been nicer. From great breakfasts to information on places to go. Loved sitting on the front porch swing. Definitely recommend!!! read more

This place is amazing! The breakfast was delicious, the room wonderful, and the hosts friendly and gracious! I would recommend staying there on your next visit to Asheville! read more

Claudia and Christian have created a homey, welcoming inn that is close to so many of the local Asheville attractions. Upon arrival, Christian greats you by name and remembers the comments entered on the room registration. In my case, he remembered and confirmed my food allergies and preference for decaf coffee. Each morning we started the day with the wonderful company of the other guests and a 3 course meal prepared by Claudia. The breakfast did not disappoint as so many of the other reviews have said. On Friday evening Christian held an optional wine tasting and gathering with live guitar music on the front porch for all guests. The room was large by inn standards and comfortable. It was clean and well appointed. The bathroom was of a nice size and well stocked as well. I loved the luxurious bed linens and pillow top. We loved everything about our stay ay the Sweet Biscuit Inn and will definitely be back again. read more

Wow! I am a local gal who has the pleasure of visiting local b&b's on a fairly regular bases. This is truly my favorite thus far. It is tucked away in the Kenilworth area of Asheville. Kenilworth boasts an incredible diverse array of homes. All fabulous in their own way. The location could not be better as minutes to downtown and Biltmore. Arriving at Sweet Biscuit I was promptly greeted by Susan and John, the innkeepers. Susan shared some specifics about the house and John showed me to my room. Wow! Welcoming, warm painted deep red walls, luxurious bed facing the wood burning fireplace And to top it off, just as I had dreamt a sweet bath with a deep soaking claw foot tub. I longingly gazed at the fireplace and inquired to John if it would be possible to have a fire. Pronto! He had a fire roaring hot. I settled in and ran a nice, hot bubble bath. The water stayed warm which was very welcoming on this bitter cold night. After my bath, feeling totally relaxed, I settled into my comfy bed. I listened to a little Chopin and enjoyed reading my Virginia Woolf book. I don't remember falling asleep but upon awakening the next morning I felt completely refreshed. My friend, Dave, joined me for breakfast. What an amazing feast ! I have attached a photo to prove it. Sweet Biscuit is completely first class without pretension. Wow! read more

It has taken me a while to get this review on here: my apologies for the delay!! I saw a recent post requesting a B&B recommendation in Asheville and the Sweet Biscuit Inn immediately popped in my head! Last year, I took my son and his friend to the Sweet Biscuit Inn for Spring Break and had a great experience, and it was pretty affordable! It's within walking distance of Biltmore Village if you don't mind a little, scenic stroll to get there--we had great weather so the boys and I loved it! The food was awesome!!! And it's served to all guests at the same time, while sitting at the same table, like a family breakfast...was a great way to interact with the other guests! The owners, Christian and Claudia, are married, from France, and very kind! The wife is a classically trained chef, hence the food being so good!! My room (Bird Song Suite) was ready upon arrival and there were cookies in the entryway every time we walked by ;) They have a seating area on the stairwell landing with comfy seats, books, a piano, and games/toys hidden away for children who may stay. I also loved that they had a guitar for me to play on the upper stair landing...it's the little things sometimes!! Overall, highly recommend! Go and enjoy! read more

Sweet Biscuit Inn - Night lighting. Never got a daylight shot for some reason! - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We had a great experience here and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for the B&B experience. The hosts, Christian & Claudia were great. The food was amazing. Who has 3 courses for breakfast? You do- at the Sweet Biscuit Inn. It is a great breakfast at that. It was nice to have the family meal and talk with the other guests. We would also discuss and recommend plans for the day. The porch is also not to be missed. It was extremely relaxing. The place was extremely clean also. read more

Had breakfast there with a friend who stayed for a night. It was fantastic!! The place is spotless and John and Susan, the owners are delightful. Special thanks to Lexi !!! read more

Christian and Claudia are wonderful hosts. Claudia is a gourmet cook and serves up a breakfast like no other we have had anywhere. Different styles of crepe, scones that are more like desert, fruit with a moose topping. (Don't expect me to know how to spell that correctly; it is way beyond what I am used to eating.) Our breakfast carried us all the way to dinner. The Inn is in a great location, just a few minutes from the Biltmore Estate in one direction and a few more minutes the other way to downtown Ashville. It is in a quiet and beautiful area of Ashville. This was one of our favorite places to stay in the South. read more

The Sweet Biscuit in was quaint, cozy, and perfect for our weekend getaway. They called before we came to see if there were any dietary needs. When we arrived they greeted us to help carry in our bags. They were so inviting and happy to chat about things to do around town. The breakfast is amazing! I couldn't believe how good the food was. When we left, we had made wonderful friends and we will definitely go back. read more

Lovely owners, lovely home, lovely area. My friend and I opted to stay in the Carriage house, behind the main house. (This review is primarily on the carriage house of the Sweet Biscuit Inn) It's a bit private, with it's own porch, kitchen, living room, sitting room and dining area on the main floor. Upstairs are two identical bedrooms with queen beds full of pillows and puffy comforters. Bathroom is modern with modern bathtub and sink. We stayed two nights (minimum required) and were thoroughly pleased with our accommodations. Christian brought us cream for our coffee and cookies, everyday. Gas stove, makes great coffee.. so we had our coffee outside on the porch, every morning. Every afternoon, we would take afternoon coffee on the porch. Carriage house living room has a fireplace/heater thingy that felt like a real fireplace when we laid on the couches.... There is wifi in the carriage house. Plenty of room, lots of privacy, don't hear one another when in our bedrooms. Funny thing, I never went inside the main house, so I can't tell you about it. All we did was roam Asheville and then come home to our little cottage and make coffee and put our feet up and enjoy the birds... A wonderful place... They are lovely people. And if you like a little privacy, the carriage house is perfect. Absolutely perfect. Spacious, beautifully decorated, quiet, private.... I would definitely come back and stay here, again.. and maybe even go inside and see the main house. read more

Sweet Biscuit Inn is located in a lovely quiet residential neighborhood, yet is convenient to so much that Asheville has to offer. The home is elegant and inviting with a grand foyer upon entering. The front porch makes for an inviting place for morning coffee or afternoon wine tasting. We stayed in room 4 which was upstairs, a queen room with newly remodeled modern bath. There was a convenient coffee station right outside our room near the library. The host couple and their three course French breakfasts were the real shining stars of our stay. Claudia and Christian were more than willing to help with suggestions in making our visit memorable. And as other reviewers have said, the breakfast was truly exceptional. Homemade croissants, crepes and other delights await each morning. We didn't have to eat again until dinner each day of our stay. We will definitely stay again on our next visit to Asheville. read more

The Sweet Biscuit Inn was a wonderful B&B. The owners are gracious hosts. Our room (#1) was spacious. We would have preferred to leave the windows open and not run the somewhat noisy air conditioner but the room windows opened to the porch and we did not want late night or early morning noise. The breakfast was first rate. I was blown away. We started with a healthy portion of fresh fruit. The egg dish was wonderful and accompanied by amazing croissants. As if that was not enough, the chocolate cake was killer. We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Biscuit Inn. read more

We stayed at the sweet biscuit in in November. We always worry about staying at bed-and-breakfast that we won't have the privacy and will feel nervous that we might disturb someone. We didn't feel this way at all at the sweet biscuit. We arrived within the designated windows and immediately shown to our room and given a key so we could come and goes we please. There were also fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and the lobby. After a restful evening we woke up to breakfast and it was amazing. They made crepes to order with a delicious savory breakfast and fresh made coffee. We would definitely stay at the sweet biscuit again. read more

We really enjoyed our stay! The bed (room 4) upstairs was comfortable and the bathroom was nice and roomy. Even with the window unit however, our room didn't stay all that cool. The second floor was defintely warm day and night, so be aware. Claudia and Christian were both very welcoming and accommodating, and both were helpful with ideas of things to do, places to go. I had some quirky dietary requests and they were gracious about accommodating me. And the food...even if the bed was uncomfortable, we'd come back for the food. She had homemade french macarons waiting on a tray for all guests night and day. Good coffee was available 24/7, and the 3 course breakfasts complete with homemade biscuits and scones were to die for. Our 3rd course on the last day was "famous chocolate cake"...yes, for breakfast, and it was THE BEST. Luckily there was a well equipped gym right down the street! read more

The best B&B I've ever been to. Stop looking at alternatives and book here of you can!! To sum up: gourmet 3 course breakfast, stunning interior (we could have guessed Claudia was a designer!), the nicest hosts ever, claw foot bath with different bath salts, homemade biscuits always on hand, real coffee always available, swing and rockers on porch deck, gorgeous leafy neighborhood a few mins from town, and all for excellent value. The downside: no B&B will ever feel quite as good again. read more

I wish I could give a six star review! My boyfriend and I went for a long weekend over Valentine's Day and we've never had a more enjoyable vacation! The house was beautiful, warm, and always smelled of fresh baked macarons. The breakfasts were worthy of michelin stars and the crepes deserve a special shoutout! We could not have had a better experience- we highly recommend Claudia and Christian's Sweet Biscuit Inn! read more

Chocolate chip cookies to die for. Claudia greeted us at the door with a fresh batch of hot cookies. The owners are fantastic and a great place to stay. You will truly enjoy this beautiful bed and breakfast read more

We really loved our stay. Big rooms, nice bathrooms, and an amazing breakfast.

I can't say enough about the experience my fiancé and I had here. We were on vacation to Miami, Knoxville, and Asheville and staying at the SB Inn was one of the highlights of our journey. Claudia and Christian were amazing and made us feel like we were staying with friends. You won't meet friendlier people and you won't get better customer service. The room was fantastic as well. We enjoyed the clawfoot tub and the complimentary bath salts. Oh, and the breakfast: phenomenal! They were very willing to meet our vegetarian dietary requirements. When I go back to Asheville, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. read more
