My Son, Stephen, and wife Robin have just become innkeepers after purchasing the Applewood Manor in Asheville, North Carolina. More than a hundred years old the Applewood Manor is one of the longest continuously operating Asheville bed & breakfast inns. While this is their first step into full service inn keeping, they are not new to the recreational property business. They own a beautiful French country villa in Roussillon, La Petite Colline de Roussillon, for those looking to vacation in Provence.
Applewood has its own standalone appeal as an historic bed & Breakfast in the breathtaking mountains of North Carolina, but it owes a measure of its popularity to Asheville as a destination—historic buildings and architecture, home of some of history’s most dynamic personalities and beautiful mountain vistas. The mountains of Asheville are the oldest in the country. And, then there is the mystical side of Asheville. Psychics from all over the world travel to the area drawn by what they believe is a paranormal “vortex” of energy. Many say that the area draws that energy from the spiritual residue of ancient Native Americans who lived and died in those mountains. Then there is the blood spilled into its grounds during the Civil War. Certainly, Asheville has seen more than its share of mysterious events and deaths. In fact, some say that Applewood sets in the most haunted place in the country.
With Stephen and Robin at the helm, visitors can expect a wonderful experience with or without accompanying ghost. Knowing them, you be well fed, offered great wines, giving an opportunity to learn new things or improve existing skills. And if you are a mind to, Robin will have you on a tennis court or Stephen will have you on a bike pedaling up and down the areas mountains.
