The Lion and the Rose Bed and Breakfast

We enjoyed our lil getaway to The Lion and The Rose. Our room was beautiful and even had fresh baked brownies waiting for us on the dresser. The breakfast was fabulous, as well as our hostess Karen. They go above and beyond to make your trip special. We look forward to returning soon🦋

We lodged in Asheville's best B&B The Lion and the Rose during the week of Christmas 2024 and enjoyed a truly remarkable experience. The home is beautifully preserved and the host and hostess work as a team to make guests feel welcomed and relaxed.

4 flights of steep steps, not good for Seniors. Not as advertised or marketed at all. There was no heat, in the morning for our rooms. Temp was 30 outside. When owner Steve responded, response was. “Sorry about that.” Beds are memory foam, can’t turn or change positions, awful. Only redeeming value was Owner Karen, very sweet, and her cute dogs.

A lovely place that was just right. Karen and Steve make sure it is cool when so hot outside and made sure we had everything needed. Breakfast was well balanced protein and sweet treat and yummy! Coffee set up outside your door every morning spoiled us rotten. Our bathroom was updated and great for three of us!

What an amazing little gem near downtown Ashville! From the moment I made the reservation the communication was impeccable. I got a text from Kathy Grisham, the onsite host, within a few hours welcoming me. Kathy Grisham was the most amazing host we have ever experienced at a B&B! During my reservation, I mentioned that the trip was for our wedding anniversary so she even texted me and asked what we wanted for breakfast to eat and to drink (mimosas or bloody marys). Arrival was smooth with detailed instructions as we were arriving after hours. The Inn was clean and they had so many nice touches such as freshly baked cookies, small snacks and sodas in a small room off the kitchen. We had a beautiful, clean room with plenty of towels and fresh linens. We even had fresh roses in our room since it was a special occasion! They provided robes, shampoo, soap and even a noise machine (although we did not experience any street noise at all). The location is not far from downtown but in a quiet historical neighborhood called Montford. I would definitely stay again and will recommend it to others. It was a wonderful place to stay and they went above and beyond. All of the special touches did not disappoint!

We had a fantastic experience at The Lion and The Rose. We stayed two nights in the Craigs-Tom suite. The suite was spacious and comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed eating the delicious breakfasts each morning on the small private balcony. The king bed was comfortable, with soft sheets that smelled fantastic! Steve and Karen are very friendly and helpful hosts, cheerfully providing everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would love to return if we have the opportunity to visit Asheville again.
