    Wow! What a well thought out and well designed place to stay. This place exceeded all of my expectations and IMO is the perfect place to stay when in Asheville. We were also fortunate to meet one of the owners upon checkin and he was super nice and helpful. He gave us some great recommendations and even a quick tour as well! I could honestly go on and on about how well done this place is... but I just recommend you see it for yourself and experience Asheville as it should be experienced by staying at Wrong Way!

    Beautiful campground in west Asheville that houses 16 A-frame cabins. The campground includes high speed WiFi, a coffee shop, hanging hammocks, two different outdoor smokeless firepits, and two event spaces that can be rented out. Perfect spot to come work remote. There are fresh pastries served daily and other local snacks and drinks in the canteen.

    Our team hosted our first-ever out-of-town team retreat in Asheville, NC, and it did not disappoint. First! A shout-out to Explore Asheville. Their website is a wealth of knowledge of everything you need to know if considering a visit to Asheville. Their sales team helped me find the perfect solution for our small team--Wrong Way River Lodge & Cabins. Before, during and after, Shelton Steele and the team at Wrong Way were excellent partners. For every question or issue we had, they were quick to answer and figure out solutions. We came in Wed - Fri in mid-October. We used the River Lodge's large meeting space with a large wall-mounted monitor for our team meetings and presentations. We had delicious breakfasts and lunches on-site provided by their catering partner, Newstock Pantry. We were lucky to have warm fall weather, which allowed us to enjoy many of our meals outside around the campfire and picnic tables. The cabins were a hit with the entire team. Everyone loved discussing what records were in their cabin and a highlight was the hammocks for the balconies. Swinging in a hammock and watching the sunset after a long day was a great way to relax. The entire Wrong Way layout made it feel like we were all together at a modern and well-manicured campsite. With Wrong Way as our home base, we were able to take hikes in the local park. Our team walked to the River Arts District to poke around the galleries. We had fun on a brewery tour that allowed us to see more of Asheville. We also enjoyed some local favorite eats from 12 Bones Smoke House, Wicked Weed Brewing Pub and a splendid private dining experience at Rhubarb. Thank you, Wrong Way for ensuring our retreat was a success. We all want to come back to enjoy Asheville again! Imagine all the fun we can have with warmer weather.

    We didn't stay the night, we just stopped in as locals for a cuppa coffee with our dog. The coffee is local and delicious. There are other drinks available, as well as some pastries. There is a view of the river, and Wi-Fi access. The two people working there were really sweet and made a darn good latte.

    The cabins are so stinking cute!! We're so happy to be staying here, it's close to everything but still gives you that cabin feel. Joe was so accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be returning here on our next trip to Asheville!

    Very cute and unique. Get away from it all. Probably even better in summer. I went during a snowstorm.

    I went back and forth on where to stay in Asheville. Do we go with the Biltmore or is that too…read moretouristy? Do we do the Omni Grove with the amazing spa or will the outdated rooms bug me? Or do I go with the Marriott option like I usually do? We opted with this Marriott, but then ended with a night at the Omni Grove so we could check out the spa we heard so much about. This is located right in Biltmore Village, which I heard had a lot more going on before Helene made her way to town a few years ago. :( It's right next to the Biltmore, but there's not really a lot in the area. In fact, when we first pulled up we noticed it was situated right between a McDonalds and a Hardees and wondered where we were staying. The lobby is very cool and modern....and all the staff were very welcoming. When we checked in we were told we were staying in the manor across the street. I don't remember booking that part of the hotel, but the man at the front desk mentioned he prefers those rooms. It's literally right across the street so super easy, but it's across the busiest street I saw in Asheville which requires waiting a very long time at the crosswalk. I didn't see very many people during our 4 nights in the Manor and wondered if we had it all to ourselves. The room itself was nice, clean and modern. There were little things i liked (ex: liquid hand soap) and things i didn't (ex: no trash can in the bathroom) but overall we were comfortable.And my husband mentioned many times he was very happy with the TV situation. While our stay here was fine I did regret not staying elsewhere. I would have loved an area to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather and just more in the area. I did like the room a lot better than the night we spent at the Omni Grove, but think i may have preferred staying at the Kimpton downtown or at the Biltmore where we could take advantage of the hiking, biking and everything else they have going on there.

    My husband, our dog, and I were moving across the country and had never visited Asheville before…read more We chose to stay at the Grand Bohemian (the Manor) because of it's proximity to the Biltmore and we were definitely NOT disappointed! First, when we arrived at the hotel, the valet were so quick and efficient to unload all the bags we had with us, as well as ensure our car would be safe in their parking garage (since it was loaded for our move). They took our luggage across to the Manor and it was in our room before we were even there. Then, at check-in, they offered us a glass of champagne, gave us a quick orientation on the village, and we were off to check out our room. Not only was it a beautiful and comfortable place to stay, but they made our dog, Hagrid, feel so welcome (see the photos). Note: While this doesn't downgrade our score, there can be traffic noise at night and the pet fee is a bit pricier than other pet fees.

    (4.5 stars) A boutique hotel/B&B hybrid in a 1920s building…read morelisted in the National Register of Historic Places, the Princess Anne Hotel is about as far away as you can get (literally and figuratively) from a just-off-the-highway hospitality chain. The location is close enough to downtown so that you can still find food in walking distance yet far enough removed from the noise to give you a bit of quiet. Unlike a downtown hotel, you also don't have to pay through the nose for parking. Staff are pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. The porch and patio areas make for relaxing outdoor spaces. The Princess Anne is an old building and though generally well-maintained, isn't immune to the occasional odd creak. Our room was, overall, fairly spacious (it included a kitchenette and dining/TV area), the bed was comfortable, and everything worked as it should. That said, the bathroom was tiny, even with the sink located in a different room. If you can abide by its quirks, the Princess Anne offers character, comfort, and charm, all at a fairly good value.

    When we were planning our visit to Asheville, I suggested to the travel planner (i.e. my wife) that…read morewe should stay somewhere different (nicer, more unique) than our usual Holiday inn Express type lodgings. My wife found the Princess Anne Hotel which dates to the early 1920's. One of the sayings on their website was "the luxury of a BnB with the privacy of a hotel". We went all out and reserved one of their 3-room "Master Suite". We ended up with THREE, VERY SPACIOUS and well appointed rooms. The bedroom included a king-size bed with a large flat screen TV attached bed; the kiving room included a sofa bed, upolstered chair and another large flat screen TV. The final room was dining area - complete with a dinig table, four dining chairs, two upholsted chairs and a kirchenette with a 2-burner stovee, a frg amd a microwave. The package my wife booked included an afternoon (5-6p) reception with a complimentary glass of wine or beer (addional glasses could be purchased) and a charcuterie board. You could enjoy your wine and charcuterie in their lounge area, on one of their porches (our choice) or back in your room. THe package also included breakfast which was served in the dining room. There was a breakfast "special of the day" or you could order from the menu. ALL of the staff - from the front desk personell to the servers in the dining room - was great. Great southern hospitality - always cheerful. This truly was a 5-STAR experience.

They do have valet for $22 a night and you can go in and out without any extra charge. We were greeted with a glass of champagne upon check in. The room was bigger than I expected! The views form the hotel room were beautiful. We went down to the bar to check out the sunset but since our room was on the 10th floor and the bar was on the 4th floor we made our way back up to watch from there. My main complaint was the lack of water access. We had to go to the gym to fill our water bottles up and the water didn't taste very good. Since it was a Sunday night we wanted to relax and watch TV in bed. We couldn't find a physical copy of the TV guide and struggled with the TV remote to scroll through the guide, so we ended up just clicking through channels. The towels were quite rough. Everything is very walkable from this area.

Upon check in, they offer complimentary champagne. Parking is easy through their valet service. The rooms are spacious, which is a plus. There isn't a lot of service during your stay--they will come to pick up any used towels but that's it. The food at the hotel is pretty good. Very affordable and large portions. And the views from the patio at the restaurant are breathtaking!

Upon check-in, we were welcomed with the Biltmore champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a book about the estate--such thoughtful touches that made us feel instantly celebrated. Our room was beautiful, and the bed was incredibly comfortable--exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The only minor downsides were the lack of accessible outlets for charging devices and no easy way to grab ice unless you called the operator or waited for housekeeping. We also noticed that sound traveled a bit--you can hear hallway noise due to the gap under the door. That said, the experience overall was exceptional. There's so much to do on the estate. The highlight for us was the complimentary wine tasting at Antler Hill Village--nearly an hour with 8 tastings per person, which honestly felt like such a great deal. We also rented bikes to explore the property, which was a fun and scenic way to take everything in. While there are several dining options, reservations are definitely needed--probably the only logistical wrinkle during our stay. One thing we really appreciated was the shuttle system around the estate. It made getting to places like the Biltmore House incredibly easy and stress-free.
