Hotel at a Glance: Beaufort House Inn

Beaufort House Inn stands as a proud testament to Asheville’s gilded Victorian era. Built in 1894 in an elegant Queen Anne style, this stately mansion bears original tiger‑oak moldings and hand‑crafted tile fireplaces, transforming every corner into a glimpse of a bygone era of refined workmanship. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and once home to both Theodore F. Davidson (Asheville’s former Attorney‑General and Mayor) and young actor Charlton Heston, it exudes authenticity, grace, and a deep-rooted sense of local legacy.

Walking through its gardens or reclining on the wrap‑around Victorian porch, guests experience not only comfort but also the storied charm of Asheville’s history. The casual, welcoming atmosphere combines effortlessly with modern conveniences—complimentary continental breakfast, free parking, Wi‑Fi, and innkeeper guidance—offering an exquisite yet unpretentious retreat in the heart of the Chestnut Historic District, just half a mile from downtown

Asheville, NC: Where Appalachian Heritage Meets Artistic Soul

Tucked into the scenic embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville, North Carolina, is a city that pulses with the pride of its Appalachian roots and the creative energy of a thriving arts scene. Once a strategic hub for railroads and trade in the early 20th century, Asheville has gracefully preserved its architectural legacy—most notably the Biltmore Estate, America’s largest privately owned home, which stands as a testament to Gilded Age grandeur. Strolling through downtown reveals a trove of Art Deco facades, historic buildings, and independent galleries, reflecting a community fiercely devoted to its cultural identity.

Nature and nurture exist in harmony here. The nearby Blue Ridge Parkway offers sweeping vistas and access to some of the region’s most stunning hiking trails and waterfalls, while the city itself brims with farm-to-table restaurants, microbreweries, and music venues that capture the spirit of local innovation. Asheville’s history as a health resort in the 19th century now feeds into its modern reputation as a wellness and outdoor recreation destination. At every turn, from mountaintop sunrise to the drum circles of Pack Square, Asheville invites exploration, reflection, and the rediscovery of American heritage at its most soulful.
