The inn was so comfortable and charming! It's an older property with a lovely yard and parlors downstairs for hanging out, tv, or a puzzle provided. Easy parking in back. Katie was so kind to have fresh cookies for us after our long flight upon arrival. A note for guests - the linen and towel scent was fairly strong and industrial. The bath products have a fresh clean scent. I wish the laundry shared it or just were unscented. Excellent location. Take a stroll down a long block and be in the middle of everything. We had dinner at Trillium, at the Inn. Oh, so good! We enjoyed our steak and fried chicken - don't forget sides such as the corn ribs (a unique seasoning - not texmex, which was a nice change) and the bread service with the honey sesame rolls. It was such a relaxing, easy, delicious option.

Beautiful boarding house on the National Registry. Highly recommend staying here. Delicious breakfast, made to order, daily. Popular restaurant by night. My husband said the trout was the best he has ever had, anywhere. Walk to town or to Tomahawk Lake Town is a popular shopping destination 20 minutes to Biltmore and the Blue Ridge museum and parkway. Also check out the town museum and the huge antique store just off the highway.

This was a lovely spot for a little birthday get-away. The flowers and coffee mug gift for the birthday boy in our room was perfect. Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, the temperature was fine for some toasty August days, and the walkability to awesome Black Mountain town was great. Breakfast was a treat both mornings. Recommend!

Red Rocker Inn was ideal for our needs. The rooms were clean and quiet. Breakfast was very good and tasty. Keurig machines and plenty of coffee in the rooms. Plenty of free parking. Staff were attentive and helpful. We have family nearby, so it is ideal for larger gatherings. Never got a chance to try the restaurant for dinner, but by all accounts, it too is very good. We're lookin forward to our next stay.
