The Ashe Farm

We liked this place. It's in a secluded spot with gardens and stream around it. We found Roger, the host, to be delightful, yes maybe a little quirky. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good, everything except the kirsch which wasn't fresh but everything else for breakfast was top notch. We'd go back in an instant.

Roger and Sandy were great, and the breakfast was amazing. Roger was able to accommodate byzantine dietary restrictions and we were well-fed every morning.

I saw mostly good reviews here and the bad one related to repayment of a canceled reservation. That’s not a fair assessment of the stay. The proprietor Roger is quite quirky. He had the rigid personality of a person from the Northeast who didn’t know how to adequately communicate in a slow, Southern get-away town. Our telephone conversations during the reservation process were terse and clipped. Others mentioned his wife- we did not see her during our stay. We had to schedule a “late” arrival of 9:00 pm for the first night, and I was given a warning that there would be a “complimentary fee” if I was later than 9pm. After arriving to retrieve keys, there was no curfew. The grounds were nice; other reviews have mentioned the picturesque property. If you like antiques, there are odds and ends around the house that I suppose are antiques and are for sale. We were there with a full house and parking was very tight. Breakfast: When we arrived, we marked on a sheet what we wanted for breakfast. We each chose quiche and sausage links. It is served *promptly* at 8. My husband and I were awake- reading news and hanging out in our room when we got a knock on the door at 8:31 with a barking order that “Breakfast was at 8:00!” We arrived to the empty kitchen with fresh berries. Two small sausage links and two small pieces of dried, reheated quiche that seemed a few days old. Perhaps it would have been fresher it we arrived at 8:00. We also had coffee and juice and were off for the day. Our room was in the basement and had two queen beds, one with box springs and the other one a rather hot memory foam. It was very clean with its own bathroom. I believe all of the upstairs rooms share a bathroom. The room we were in smelled of insecticide both nights, and when we arrived back on the second night, the entire basement smelled of insecticide. Bottom line… it was expensive at nearly $300 per night. If you are looking for hospitality and a fancy b&b, this is not it. If you just want a clean place to stay, it’s fine.

Highly recommend Wish we would of had more time to spend there—beautiful country and they had many sitting spots to enjoy —very hospitable and breakfast was amazing.

Rogers and Sandy were wonderful. Cute and cozy. Only thing we weren’t expecting was you cannot have food or drinks in your room except water. Otherwise everything was great!

The host was incredibly friendly, and very helpful in every way. I hit the breakfast jackpot with plenty of amazing dishes for my gluten free diet! The outdoor area was very serene - just what I needed after coming from downtown Asheville! Just be prepared for a steep (though short) winding road to the property (it felt much easier on the way out!) I would definitely return - thank you, Roger and Sandy!
