Testimonials

My wife and I travel often and always stay in B&B’s. I can easily say that this has moved to the top of our list! From the live music on the porch to the “never ending” wine at happy hour to the gourmet 3 course breakfast it was truly a great 4 day get away for us. Willy genuinely cares about the guests having a great experience not only at the B&B but their daily activities as well. We will be back!

My wife and I spent a long weekend in Asheville and had a wonderful stay at the 1900 Inn on Montford. The hosts, Shawnie and Willy, are incredible people and they made our stay so enjoyable. I have some food allergies (gluten and dairy) and they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs at each breakfast. Speaking of the breakfasts, they are delicious – three course breakfasts each day that Shawnie/Willy make from scratch. Our room was very comfortable and well-appointed, and Willy/Shawnie were quick to help if we needed anything. The inn is charming with several areas to relax in, and we enjoyed the happy hour each night on the porch where we met other guests. Overall, it was a first-class experience and we can’t wait to visit again.

As a traveling pup, I have stayed at many hotels and dog-friendly lodging. This by far is the best place for a dog to stay! Not only did they prep my room with a bowl of water and towels (special for me), I had a patio to lounge on while my pawents got ready for the day. Not to mention all of the walks that Willy the owner told us about (especially ones with water so I don’t get too hot).
After my long walks, I would come back to my room (William Morris) and lay on the cold floor and snore! The room was quiet and not a lot of noise to spook me while my pawents went out to dinner. My favorite part of the whole trip was watching my people eat breakfast on the porch and watching music on Saturday.
Also, Shawnie made me a fresh dog biscuit and that really was the ultimate treat to this wonderful stay! Will definitely be having my owner’s book here again.

I had a lovely 3-night get-away at 1900 Inn on Montford. Willy and Shawnie are gracious hosts and the property is beautiful and relaxing. My pup came along and we were well set in the Rossetti, one of the dog-friendly suites.
The private garden and deluxe shower and tub are some of its highlights. The location of the inn is fantastic, minutes to downtown in the charming and historic Montford neighborhood. It’s great for dog walks and there are several restaurants just blocks away. The hosts are great with tips for the attractions in the area and what you’ve probably already read about the breakfasts and cookies is true — they’re delish! I was able to arrange for a massage in my suite. Overall my entire stay was a great experience and a welcome break. Treat yourself here!

My Wife and I recently stayed in the Cloisters Suite at the 1900 Inn of Montford and had an amazing time. Willy and Shawnie made us feel so welcomed and the room was amazing. The three course breakfast each morning was above and beyond. Something different each morning and not your average hum drum breakfast. Also, let’s not forget Shawnie’s homemade cookies throughout the day. On our arrival, we were greeted by the Conceriege, Christine, who showed us around our suite. Also greeting us were fresh flowers, Asheville chocolates and champagne…. Wow! They also have Saturday evening porch music with coffee, wine and craft beers, so much fun. This is a first class Bed and Breakfast that we highly recommend. The title of my testimonial is , didn’t want to leave and that is how my Wife and I judge a vacation getaway. If you don’t want to leave, then you know it was the right choice.

Wow! Recently stayed at 1900 Inn on Montford and this is on my list as a destination now, along with the actual town of Asheville. From breakfast in the morning (3 courses!) to the updated bathrooms (which they are known for!) to the porch music (great musicians!) on early Saturday evening you will love the inn and the owners. Oh, and don’t forget to have a cookie or two……or more from the sunroom…always homemade by Shawnie. You will not find a better cookie anywhere. Both Shawnie and Willy provide a level of service and hospitality that you will remember long after your stay. You will leave looking at your calendar planning your next visit to 1900 Inn on Montford! I am already planning to go back in July!

There are a number of lovely B&Bs in Asheville, many with strong ties to the rich history of the town. If all you’re looking for is a place to sleep, any of them will do. But if you’re looking for an incredible experience with superb breakfasts and amazing attention to detail, stay at the 1900 Inn on Montford. Our small business Knitrino hosted a knitting retreat in Asheville that was held across a number of B&Bs in the area, and the very best decision we made was adding 1900 Inn on Montford to the lineup. Willy & Shawnie were incredible, like adding a full team to our tiny staff of 2! They coordinated so many things that were well outside the purview of innkeepers, from making sure we had plenty of excellent wine and beer at our opening night party, to introducing us to local chefs, scheduling porch music to align with our party, and even making a stencil from our logo for the powdered sugar that was dusted on breakfast. They accommodated our every request and even accommodated things we couldn’t have asked for. When we didn’t have a gluten-free option for our dessert the second night (at a DIFFERENT venue) they whipped up a batch of gluten-free cookies for us, to which one guest proclaimed “This is the best cookie I’ve ever eaten!” The inn itself is exquisite, with large comfortable beds and stunning bathrooms. The breakfasts are outstanding. But hands-down the best part of the 1900 Inn on Montford is the innkeepers–they’re the reason we’ll come back!

We had a wonderful experience at 1900 Inn on Montford. The hosts, Shawnie and Willy, went above and beyond for everything! They literally rescued us a couple times… a family member in our party unfortunately got sick during our stay and Willy swiftly helped by washing some of our personal items without hesitation. He did not express any burden for this extra task at all- so kind and thoughtful. We also came underdressed for a cold spell– he lent us jackets! Life saver!

The property is very cozy and our beds/sheets were outstanding. The top floor of the house was our room which, had two bedrooms- very quiet and private. The bathroom was updated, clean, and huge. The home itself is gorgeous with lots of character. The refreshments they kept stocked- such as waters, soda, tea, coffee, and fresh cookies was a nice touch. (My husband tried every fresh baked cookie!! They are delicious.) The breakfast was amazing- fresh, timely, and generous portions. An added bonus for us, Willy let us play with and pet his chocolate lab while we there. I would highly recommend this property. Thank you Shawnie, Willy, and Clementine!

We spent our anniversary weekend at the Inn on Montford and our stay was incredible! We live in the area and wanted a place to get away for the weekend and this was the perfect place. Very cozy, inviting, and so comfortable we felt like we were staying with family and we almost forgot we were staying locally. Willy & Shawnie were so welcoming and did I mention the breakfast!?! What amazing meals they prepared to start our day and home made cookies every evening to welcome us home from our daily adventures. They helped us celebrate our anniversary with wine and chocolates! Will definitely come back!

No matter how I critique our stay….the room, the staff, the communication prior to and during our stay, the amenities, the Saturday night music, the food or location….we found the Inn on Montford to be exceptional in every way. When you factor the service you receive into the “bottom line”, the Inn on Montford is a tremendous value proposition. We would definitely consider another stay if we return to Asheville.

This place has it all! Located in a beautiful historic neighborhood with a couple great restaurants in walking distance you can’t go wrong with the 1900 inn! The hosts are amazing and they even treated us to a surprise treat for our anniversary celebration upon arrival. The daily breakfasts were delicious and thoughtfully put together and they even included a daily homemade treat for my dog! They are the ultimate pet friendly stay which is a huge bonus for us. The Rossetti room was immaculate, beautiful and cozy. We felt welcomed but also given plenty of privacy. The shower and bath alone are worth booking a stay here. Love this place, love the keepers, love the neighborhood and would love to come back!

Well appointed, updated, immaculate room/ delicious brunch with accommodations for GF and V dietary restrictions and comfortable bedding./A variety of home made cookies always available along with refreshments/White and Red wine served for happy hour! Welcomed with sincerity and warmth! Best B & B we have ever stayed in! No need to look anywhere else if planning a trip to Asheville.

The inn is beautiful. We stayed in the carriage house. It was an exceptional room with great ambiance and a very home-like feel. Shawnie and Willie are exceptional hosts, making every experience better than expected. The breakfasts were 5 star, Shawnie’s cookies are amazing and the daily socials at 6pm with the other guests felt like we had known each other for years, not to mention the concert level performances by the musicians on Saturday! I cannot think of another B&B experience that comes close to staying with Shawnie and Willie at 1900. A truly wonderful anniversary experience. We will most certainly be back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We visited this Inn in early November and enjoyed every detail. Willie and Shawnie were such great hosts but felt like friends immediately. We stayed in the Rosetti suite which is located in the carriage house a few steps away from the Inn It was amazing! I loved the bubble jacuzzi and my husband used the steam shower after ours hikes. The breakfasts and cookies are amazing. They also have Expresso machines fir guests to use. Loved our stay and will be back. Thanks again

We went with another couple to visit the Biltmore Estate. While the estate was good, I enjoyed our time here the most. All the rooms were so inviting to just cozy up. We stayed in Zelda’s Retreat which was fabulous. Loved the jacuzzi, heated bathroom floors, steam shower. Everything was there that we needed or wanted. Definitely would stay there again if in Asheville. But one of the best parts is that Shawnee and Willy made us feel so special with their cookies and treats. They cooked us fabulous 3- course breakfast each morning. Every B & B could learn from them how to treat their guests!
