Guest Reviews

• Alexander (9/5): A very positive B&B experience. - Very friendly staff, including proprietor Erica and her delightful assistant Britt, who shared local hiking tips and provided delicious homemade granola and fruit. Room is a wee bit compact, but hey, it’s an older Craftsman style home.
• Stephanie (10/5): WONDERFUL! - Everything Everything was outstanding
• Alexandra (9/5): - A perfect little stop. I would come back to Asheville to stay here again. Breakfast was amazing, the staff were all lovely, parking and check-in were easy. I stayed in a room with a balcony and loved looking out over the yard. A sweet cat came up and hung out with me for a while. I very much enjoyed my time here!
• Tanner (10/5): - Beautiful area. Breakfast was amazing. Erica was very friendly and helpful
• Dawayne (10/5): - The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was very good and they even remembered my food preferences. N/A
• Stacy (9/5): Will visit and stay here again! - The people who manage the inn are fantastic! Could not be friendlier. Very awesome service and recommendations for the area. Old house so very creaky floors. AC was on but we turned it off. Opened windows for cool night air.
• Mark (10/5): It was nice comfy bed great breakfast 😀 - It was nice
• James (10/5): We were greeted cordially and had delicious brownies. The bed and shower were comfortable. Breakfast was top notch. A gr - Very close to city One of the antique chairs was a little saggy
• Scott (9/5): Nice base to explore Asheville and the area - Beautifully maintained 1910, historic craftsman-style large home. Just a few minutes from downtown Asheville in a quite neighborhood. Very nice breakfast prepared by owner Erica. Check-in host, Britt was friendly and welcoming with fresh baked cookies. Veteran owned business.
• Raimonde (10/5): -
• Logan (10/5): Wonderful stay! Very festive decor and very friendly and accommodating staff. We will be back! :) - So cozy! Nothing
• Mary Darlene (9/5): This was a wonderful alternative to staying at a hotel. I would definitely recommend.. - Spacious room. Excellent hosts. Parking. Bathtub was difficult to get in and out, especially if you have knee or balance issues. Great for soaking. Only. Mention so visitors are aware.
• Amanda (10/5): Perfect cozy stay for our Mom’s surprise birthday getaway weekend! - Everything was beautifully decorated and clean. Breakfast was delicious!
• Sheila (10/5): My stay gave me everything I wanted and was looking for to kickstart my long journey traveling across country! I highly - The comfort, cozy homey feeling you get the minute you walk through the door. You know you are about to get Class A pampering with their homemade breakfast, fireplace lite up to warm the room even more with my kind of music. The Innkeepers are the Best! They are there to accommodate you with whatever you need. My first time in a B&B Cottage and I will for certain come back. It was so quiet, peaceful. Great Parking space. Home is very lovely, it feels like you’re back in time with the original architecture.
• david (10/5): Wonderful - The breakfasts were made with lots of thought and taste Really nothing
• Kevin (10/5): - Breakfast was absolutely wonderful every day! The staff are absolutely amazing and if ever back in Asheville, we will go back.

• Keith (10/5): - Great place…excellent service!
• Crystal (10/5): -
• Garrison (10/5): Lovely stay - Great location- walkable to the River Arts District. Erika and John were wonderful hosts. Beautiful old house-well redone. Lovely breakfast and hot coffee- available in-room and downstairs. Will definitely stay with them again on trips to Asheville.
• Hamdi (10/5): -
• steven (10/5): First rate - Excellent, Emily met us at the door and gave us a tour, asked about dietary restrictions etc... Breakfast was a hot meal, different each day and served by Lydia and Emily perfectly!
• Barbara (10/5): I absolutely love the care taken in the restoration and the location is perfect! - The breakfast is a chef's true creation, not just your average everyday country breakfast. Your hosts are trained chefs with immense talent as well as wonderful hospitality! Parking could be easier, but it is sufficient for guests and truly not much of an issue. Everything else makes up for this only slight negative.
• Mark (10/5): Best B&B in Asheville. - Best B&B in Asheville. Very quiet and comfortable. This is our go to place when in town.
• David (10/5): - It was cozy. Breakfast was great!

• Denise (10/5): - The property was beautiful and the host was amazing. The room was huge and so beautiful. We had our own private sitting porch overlooking a forest. The breakfast was way beyond our expectations, every morning was exceeded by the next day.
• Brian (9/5): Superb -
• Leslie (10/5): - Erica and Jim were excellent cooks and innkeepers.
• Gina (10/5): - We are big fans of Asheville in general and decided to try this B&B for this trip. Really nice property with a spacious room. The breakfasts were delicious and unique and every evening there were yummy cookies waiting for each room. One really nice touch was a refrigerator off the dining room with bottles of cold water and chilled glasses we could use. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and it's an easy trip to either downtown Asheville or the Biltmore via car. Easy parking out front.
• Susanna (10/5): The hosts were thoughtful and great to talk to- my husband and I loved the delicious breakfasts and cozy environment. - It was cozy, clean, comfortable, and charming! The unique space was a treat to stay at!
• Melissa (10/5): The Little Garden Room - This B&B is perfect for a quiet, cozy, and relaxing stay. Fresh breakfast made by Erica or Britt each morning was delicious! Loved staying here during Christmas, the holiday decor in the common area was the perfect touch. I liked how we came home at the end of the day to fresh baked goodies that were yummy! My room was very spacious, cute, and unique with bird decor. No complaints! Will definitely be back.

• Howard (5/5): Very nice beginning spoiled by the 3rd day disruption to the ambience and inadequate owner response. - The innkeeper greeted us upon arrival and was very helpful describing the history of the location and providing tips. The king sized room had an adjoining room overlooking the front garden. After breakfast on the first day we were told that the next morning a photographing crew would be visiting to take photographs of guests at breakfast and we had the option to refrain from participating. However, when we went down to have our breakfast we were confronted by a noisy family sitting at a large table in the middle of the dining room allowing their small child to cough without covering their mouth all of who were there to be photographed but who disrupted the relaxed ambience expected of a high class B&B. Although the innkeeper agreed to let us take breakfast in our room, this episode showed complete disregard for the comfort of other guests and negatively impacted an otherwise enjoyable stay. We didn't see the innkeepers on the last day of our stay and no apology was given. We wrote to them following our visit and were awaiting their response before writing this review but unfortunately it was somewhat dismissive arguing that such inconveniences are typical for the industry.
• Kris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andreas (10/5): All that we wanted - older home full of character, comfortable, feel welcome, great food. - Innkeepers were great - helpful, pleasant, both excellent chefs. The breakfasts were amazing! Loved finding the homemade cookies when we returned in the evening. Our hosts had done amazing research and loved learning about the history of the home and some of Asheville.
• Karen (8/5): - A nice B&B near downtown Ashville and the Biltmore—not walkable but close. Very quiet location. Cozy with vintage and antique furniture. Our room had a day bed which was nice to have but the mattress was not comfortable. Great pressure in the shower if that is important to you. Cookies/brownie provided in the afternoon for each guest and yummy breakfast each morning.
• Scott (10/5): - Owners were incredibly nice and breakfast was delicious! Did a great job of varying what was offered each day.
• Steven (10/5): Great place for a couple to get away. - The stay was truly perfect. The room was good and the location excellent. Each breakfast was a delight. Thank you! There really is nothing to dislike.
• Brianna (9/5): Superb -
• Marvin (10/5): It was comfortable with warm hospitality. -
• Anonymous (10/5): Going to Asheville, try to get in here. You won’t regret it. - There was so much history behind this gem of a house. Jim was very knowledgeable in that regard and made our breakfast that much more pleasurable. Erica was an excellent cook who made exceptional yummy breakfasts. Very nice stay. Will be back Nothing
• Nancy (10/5): - Everything was awesome
• jean (10/5): - Wonderful would stay there again anytime. Clean, cozy, warm and inviting. Amazing breakfast and Inn keepers
• Anonymous (10/5): Outstanding B&B. - The Innkeepers, Jim and Erica were great. The bed and furniture was very comfortable. Our room had a separate sitting room and closet, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, cable tv, room thermostat control, common area with fire place, and hair dryer. Nothing, everything about the property was super.
• Ronda (10/5): - The house was a perfect place to stay! So cozy, precious, clean, and great location. The breakfast was delicious and hosts—outstanding! We would stay here again, absolutely.
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Just excellent stay, fine food and gracious hosts!
• Laury (10/5): - Comfortable cottage with pretty room and great bed. Friendly hosts and delicious breakfasts.
• Wendy (10/5): Little Gem - Stayed for just 2 nights. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Warm and cosy feel to the place and all very clean. Was great to have use of their little kitchen and fridge. Lots of English teas and a kettle available too which was a big bonus for us!!
• Rhonda (10/5): - Loved the comfortable and spacious room--with a private deck! Erica and Jim were extremely welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic. It was obvious that professional chefs were in the kitchen. Erica was also very helpful about dinner suggestions.
• Corina (10/5): Cozy B+B with delicious breakfasts - Very comfortable, clean and quiet B+B with delicious breakfasts and very friendly hosts!
• Robert (10/5): Wonderful stay!!! - Jim and Erica were wonderful hosts! Breakfast was outstanding and got the day to a good start! This is very convenient place of you are spending time visiting the Biltmore. Jim was very helpful with our niche of enjoying local breweries. Best bargain in accommodations in Asheville!
• Debra L (10/5): Most stay for fabulous B&B is Asheville - Super friendly owners. Breakfast was outstanding. Entire place was very clean, bed and pillows comfortable and daily housekeeping services which you don’t get at hotels. Location quiet but quick access to all sites. Only minor concern was the TV. Needed your own streaming service to get sports but was able to get basic Roku.
• J (6/5): - Erica was super delightful. We enjoyed having breakfast with another couple we met there. It was hard to sleep in Room 3. The noise from the guests upstairs above us was miserable. They walked around and moved furniture 'til 1:00 a.m. Plus, our bed creaked whenever one of us moved. The rooms could use some TLC. The shower rod and hooks looked and felt so old and industrial. The bathroom door needed paint. The hair conditioner dispenser was empty. A tall person would have been miserable in that room. My knees nearly touched the wall when I was on the toilet. If I were any taller, I wouldn't have fit. As it was, I sat on the toilet at a slant. The neighborhood was meh, but close the Biltmore and downtown.
• Rucks (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claudia (10/5): Just like home - The hosts are warm and inviting. The breakfasts were fresh out of the oven and very delicious. Every room was comfortable. You felt like you were home. There were lots of stairs. It was a little hard going up and down, but manageable.
• Kenneth (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was excellent, the inn was well appointed and staff very friendly. TV service was Roku and required a subscription service to view current real time television.
• Robert (10/5): - The staff was excellent and breakfast was very good!
• Carla (10/5): Exceptional B&B - Delightful hosts, wonderful breakfasts, personalised service and extra care given to one of us for a dietary consideration. Thank you Erica & Jim Not a thing
• Gregory (10/5): Wonderful location and the hosts were outstanding - It is not readily apparent, but the property is very centrally located. If you continue down the street you are in the art district in a matter of 2 blocks or so Parking was an issue at times and the property was not full when we were there
• Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
• Donn (10/5): - We loved this B&B in an old home built in 1910. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. We were on the second floor but the stairs were not a problem. Our hosts, Jim and Erica were very cordial. Jim met us at the door when we arrived. He quickly gave the information we needed to exit and return to the property, showed us to our room and was very helpful with suggestions for dining in town. Plus there were fresh baked cookies every afternoon!!!
• Adriane (10/5): Looking forward to book a stay here the next time! - Jim and Erica are excellent host! My husband and I choose this bed and breakfast place because of the great reviews about the comfort and the food. The reviews were 100% accurate. Everything was great! No complaints.
• William (10/5): - Current inn keeper told us the history of rhe property.
• Thomas (10/5): - Easy drive to Biltmore house or downtown. Our room was spotless. All areas were neat and clean. Quaint home with a unique history. Breakfast was excellent. High quality food and presentation. We had a very enjoyable stay at Oakland cottage b and b.

• Camilia (9/5): Superb -
• Christine (10/5): Exceptional - This was an amazing little B&B on our 25th Anniversary trip. We did a B&B hop and this one definitely did not disappoint. The house had an incredible mix of historical charm with modern thrown in. Jim greeted us at the door, showed us around and gave us some of the very interesting history of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would most definitely recommend others to visit. Nothing
• Jennifer (10/5): - We had an extremely enjoyable and relaxing trip. The inn was quiet and the breakfast was delicious.
• Lindsay (10/5): Exceptional - It was perfect for our stay! everything was so cute and very spacious
• Jennifer (10/5): It was the best place I've ever stayed!! - The breakfast was divine, the room was immaculate and comfortable, and the staff was extra friendly!
• elizabeth (10/5): Nice getaway close to home - We liked this place a lot. The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful. When we reported an issue with the HVAC they were right on it. The breakfasts were delicious. We would definitely stay here again.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lauri (8/5): Very good - Jim and Erica were perfect hosts Breakfast was delicious. Room was comfortable but bed was in a corner and difficult to access. Bed was difficult to access in our room. Shower was very confining.
• Phil (8/5): Overall, cool place. - The facility was very clean, and very quiet which was awesome. Easy parking also and very close to the destinations I was traveling too. My biggest complaint would be the breakfast start time. I am a hiker so I like to get started around 9 a.m. or earlier with my hikes, so not starting breakfast until 8:30 is late, I wish they had started at least by 7:30 a.m. Also, I wish coffee were available at 6 a.m. I am an early riser and like my coffee early.
• Masaru (9/5): Beautifully kept home with good karma all around... - Located in a peaceful and quiet woodsy area of Asheville, dotted with nice Arts and Crafts style homes, my wife and I found Oakland Cottage Bed & Breakfast to be very conveniently and centrally located to the River Arts District, Biltmore Estate and downtown. The daily breakfasts were wonderfully balanced and well-prepared. Jim, Erica and Brett were great hosts and we could tell that they all shared a common love and passion for both preserving historic homes and gourmet cooking. Maybe offering an earlier 8a breakfast time option, but not much else... Expect to leave 45 minutes prior to your timed Biltmore House Tour reservation in order to have sufficient time to park and walk or take a tram to the front of the Biltmore Estate. We had reservations for a 10a tour and this worked out well for us.
• Paul (9/5): Superb - The owners were very friendly and polite. We had no questions because they provided the answers before we even needed to ask. Great stay.
• Cheryl (9/5): Lovely B&B - Very nice! Host did an excellent job. Apparently it was a busy weekend - prices were high everywhere. Didn't expect NYC prices in Asheville.
• Donnie (10/5): Will stay again. - Great all around experience. Jim was fantastic and even pointed us in the direction of some good breweries. He was very knowledgeable of the area. The breakfasts were delicious. Perfect location, place was extremely clean Bed and pillows weren’t like home but they never are wherever you stay
• Ann (10/5): wonderful stay, and hope to visit again soon! - We loved everything about this inn. Innkeepers Erica and Jim, and the rest of the staff made us feel right at home. Our room was extraordinarily clean and comfortable, and breakfast each morning was incredible!! We hope to visit again soon, and highly recommended this beautiful property!! ❤️ na
• Vicki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adrien (9/5): Superb -
• Rebecca (8/5): Very good -
