The closest of Ashevilles bed and breakfast Inns to the Biltmore Estate, Biltmore Village Inn is located on top of Reed Hill, above Biltmore Village. You can see why Samuel Reed, George Vanderbilt’s lawyer, situated his house here after he sold Vanderbilt the property for Biltmore Village. It commanded a 360-degree view of the mountains, and overlooked the Village and the Swannanoa River valley.Its location is unmatched. It is the only inn in Asheville that truly has views. It is only four blocks from the entrance to the Biltmore Estate. Biltmore Village is rapidly becoming a tourist attraction on its own, with shopping and four excellent restaurants close to the inn. Downtown is a short drive away, the Blue Ridge Parkway a short drive in the other direction.
