Engadine Inn and Cabins

No one was present to greet us at check in even though we checked in between 3 and 7 as noted on the website. We had been texted code numbers to get into the house and our room. There were used washcloths hanging in our shower and no clean washcloths. We called the contact number, and it was answered by someone in the Philippines. Dirty dishes were still out in the breakfast room. Clean washcloths were eventually delivered after 10 pm. Breakfast is the same buffet each morning, consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, and a selection of bread and fruit. This experience did not match what I have experienced at bed and breakfasts for the past 30 years. Alex (owner) and Edward (manager) are personable and helpful when they can be reached, but there is rarely someone at the inn. The house is beautiful, but this is a very self-service experience and should not be called a bed and breakfast.

Decided to take a last minute road trip to Asheville with friends and ended up at Engadine. What an incredible and unique find, and the view was beyond gorgeous! Our cabin was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing get away. We love to walk and there were plenty of trails on the property to explore, in addition to those nearby, but we were quite happy with where we were and never even left. We are definitely planning a return stay!

We were treated poorly. The host was intimidating and argumentative, a stark contrast to our previous stays. Lodgings were excellent, however. I won't get into specifics but 3/5 is more than generous.
