Carolina Bed & Breakfast  

Carolina Bed & Breakfast in Asheville celebrates the 104th anniversary of the W. Vance Brown House designed in 1900 by Richard Sharp Smith, the architect who supervised the construction of the Biltmore House. With its pebbledash finish, unique rooflines and abundant porches, this Smith creation blends art and nature in the true Arts and Crafts tradition.

Our home is situated on a gently rolling one-acre lot in the Montford Historic District of Asheville within walking distance of downtown Asheville. The Montford community is endowed with numerous restored homes from the turn of the century. Sitting on the spacious front porch, you can imagine the trolley cars and carriages rolling down one of the grandest avenues of its time. On the back porch, you will enjoy the gardens and water features we have created.
