At Cumberland Falls Bed and Breakfast Inn

Our two nights at Cumberland Falls were amazing. We arrived late but Gary and Patti had everything ready and made sure we got settled in.
Breakfast the next morning was amazing. We sat in the sun room and chatted with another guest for a while. The people are a huge reason I love the bed and breakfast experience. Everyone we met was was very friendly. I am going to stay at Cumberland Falls the next time I am in Asheville.
On top of all the great people and incredible innkeeper there is the house itself. Beautiful gardens surrounding a wonderfully kept home. Dozens of types of trees and plants are all meticulously tended. Pictures and words will never do it justice. The pond has quite a few koi in it that scared my wife and I a little bit. The bridge is pretty cool. I want to visit a little closer to summer… maybe next year.

This B&B was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My only regret was that I only spent one night there! The Inn Keepers Patty and Gary were 2 of the most hospitable people, and literally BORN to be in the hospitality business! Walking into this Historic house is like walking into «Grandma’s» … You get cookies, brownies a hug and a smile, however, Follow the rules and everyone will be happy! LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait to go back and spend a WEEK!!!

15 minute walk from downtown Asheville and hosts Gary and Patti are phenomenal hosts and people.
My wife and I stayed here for our 1 year anniversary and had a great experience. Very clean place in a quaint neighborhood.
We walked to dinner both nights and patti offered to make all the reservations and even sent me an email with recommendations.
Breakfast started at 9a and was great both days with 3 courses plus coffee and OJ. Breakfast the full house seated at one table which was fun.

My partner took me here as a birthday surprise because I love Asheville more than any place on earth, haha, & because I LOVE Bed & Breakfasts!
The owners were so helpful & wonderful! They carried our bags up to our room & even let us choose between a few unbooked rooms at no extra charge!
They had delicious snacks in the afternoon, the rooms were clean & decorated beautifully, and the breakfast was INCREDIBLE! One of the best I have ever had at a B&B!
I’d definitely recommend this B&B & would stay here again :)

Had a lovely weekend staying at Cumberland falls. Stayed in the sunshine room and yes, as the reviews say, the not so separated toilet makes for the stay to be very much relationship bonding! The jacuzzi was an great way to wind down after a busy day exploring Asheville, and the convenience to down town was great for enjoying the nightlife. Gary is a little over the top, almost too friendly and it does become a little too much at times. The breakfast is nice, but its nothing special, and trying to make awkward conversation with strangers is a little challenging at first but we were lucky to meet a nice couple. I think if the breakfast could be a little more flexible with options and choices on when to eat it would be a lot better. A little overrated but a really nice B & B with lovely hosts.

My husband and I spent a week hiking in the Smokies at the end of July. To round off our trip, we booked two nights at Cumberland Falls so we could spend a day at Bel Chere in Asheville. It was the perfect ending to our vacation!
Gary and Patti are both incredibly nice and welcoming hosts. We were greeted with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and a tour of this beautiful home. No detail is overlooked — Keurig machine and electric tea kettle are in the dining room for guest use, a fully stocked honor bar refrigerator is also in house in case guests would like a beverage. Chocolates are scattered in dishes around the house, a CD collection, VHS and DVD collection… everything you could possibly need to relax is all there for the guests.
The house is nestled in a quiet residential area that is only about a mile from downtown Asheville. We loved the fact that we could just park our car and leave it the entire time — we were able to walk everywhere. (and before leaving for anywhere, Gary makes sure guests have his cell phone number in case he is needed for anything — such a thoughtful touch!)
The breakfasts are incredible — so creative and delicious. They are three FILLING courses — we didn’t need lunch on either day that we stayed with them.
In each room they have put together a binder packed with local information — anything you could possibly want to do, they’ve researched it and included it in the binder. Also included are menus from loads of restaurants.
We had a wonderful time with two very wonderful hosts. I wish they were closer — I would be booking time there at least a couple of times per year! It was heavenly!!!

Location is good, 5 minute drive to downtown. The house is very well kept, grounds beautiful, and very clean. We stayed in the Sunshine room and other than the toilet being separated only by a privacy wall, we loved the room. The welcome tour was a bit «over-​the-​top», explaining unnecessary details that took (or felt like) almost an hour. Be prepared that breakfast requires you to sit at the same table with strangers, which may or may not be to your liking.

This Valentines day my boyfriend and I wanted to take a romantic vacation and Asheville was the place. After scouring the internet for the best possible combination’s, big tubs, great food, fireplaces, I had a matrix with information, and we sat on it. As I went in and then looked at all the real people reviews: That’s where Patti & Gary come in.
As nice as the other inn’s and B&B’s appeared online, nothing came across as loudly as the reviews of Patti & Gary’s Cumberland Falls B&B. So we booked it and couldn’t of been any happier about it!
A reviewer commented on them being the nicest. people. ever. She was right.
The house is exquisite, we arrived late on a Sunday and they left us a note and instructions, as well as twilight goodies, for tea and cookie hour! (Patti bakes something delicious daily for all her guests in the early evening.) Scrumptious!
So we went about exploring the house, taking photos, and just as the sun was setting my boyfriend was bringing in the bags, thinking to himself «that Gary sure does think of everything, but he could use a light back… here» and the motion sensor kicked on and all was illuminated.
Every morning Gary’s breakfast would be a treat to the senses, baked goods, fruit (poached pear with Chantilly cream anyone?), and delicious entrees, fresh coffee, tea, and plenty of help on anything you could possibly need or think to need in Asheville. Amazing!
You will not feel more at ease, relaxed or at home, then you will here with Patti & Gary.

I recently ‘escaped’ to At Cumberland Falls for 3 cozy Beds and 3 fabulous Breakfasts and I couldn’t recommend it any more.
I stayed in the Lion’s Den, which was the perfect sanctuary, the bed was extremely comfortable and the décor was soothing. There’s a wonderful sheepskin throw rug on the floor that I paced barefooted because it felt so good on my feet.
Breakfast all three days was a very enjoyable experience. It wasn’t just that the meal was delicious (although it absolutely was); the presentation and the stories told by the innkeepers, Patti and Gary, made it all the more interesting.
This place and these people specialize in service and hospitality. They’re special extras were fantastic… afternoon baked treats, coffee available at all hours (HUGE deal for me), videos to watch, directions to every locale, suggestions on dining and activities, a BEAUTIFUL garden to explore… I could go on and on.
Every trip I take to Asheville, I have a home away from home to visit. I will be back and I will recommend At Cumberland Falls to everyone who asks.
(And please walk down to Nine Mile for a meal… you won’t regret it)

We just spent labor day weekend here and it was AMAZING! This was our first time at a B & B and we had a great time. The house is spectacular. We stayed in the Daydream room which was so cozy and romantic. The breakfasts were delicious. I loved the fresh blueberry muffins Patti made one day. The other guests were friendly and we all got to know each other over breakfast each morning. The gardens are beautiful.
Gary and Patti really run a quality establishment. They are hospitable and friendly and truly made us feel right at home. If you are looking for a wonderful B & B experience this would be, without a doubt, the place to go.

What a wonderful place! I visited Gary and Patti at the Inn and stayed 4 days over the holidays. The 3 course breakfasts were to die for and it was wonderful to have it prepared right outside our door! Gary and Patti, the owners, gave us fun recommendations for activities to do and ever restaurant they suggested was fantastic. By the end of our stay I felt like it was a second home and if we ever return to Asheville (which I hope we do) I will choose the Cumberland Falls Bed and Breakfast Inn again!!!

Love, love, loved it! Perfection in a lil’ gingerbread house.
This B&B is great for everyone. A girls’ night, a romantic trip. I, myself, was in town for business alone. Not so romantic.
Patti & Gary are the owners and they may be The. Nicest. People. Ever. Seriously. Ever! So accomodating and kind. They know everything and are willing to get you directions, reservations, and info you need. Heather is the concierge and she’s a hoot and super helpful too!
The B&B is beautiful and comfy. It’s not «overdone» or too «fluffy.» It’s laid back and you want to just hang out. The porch is great. I worked on in the sunroom for a few hours with the free wifi. Chocolates in all the candy dishes and fresh baked sweets in the afternoon.
I stayed in the Sunshine Room on the third floor and loved it. It’s in the attic and very cozy. The jacuzzi tub was great. I slept with the windows open and slept great!
Breakfast was great! Homemade blueberry muffins, baked pineapple in white wine with cinnamon whipped cream and squash frittat and lemon/​pepper potatoes. Hello? Yummy!
Don’t even get me started on the beautiful grounds.
Ok, enough gushing. It’s not cheap, about $ 200 a room, or so, but it’s so worth it. Work it into your budget and get thee to the Cumberland Falls B&B.
