The Inn is located in the small, quiet town of Weaverville, but is only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville and its Biltmore House, antiques shops and quaint cafes. It's also minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of America's most scenic roads and a glorious quilt of color in the fall
The inn features five rooms in the main house, and two rooms in a cottage joined to the house by huge porches. All have private baths, two with tubs, and all are decorated in Victorian fashion featuring soothing pastels and surprising details. |

Inn on Main Street offers seven rooms with private baths, and most of them with gas fireplaces, for $125 to $165, double occupancy. King, queen, double and twin beds are available.
We hesitate to call our breakfasts gourmet, since that has become such a cliche among bed and breakfasts. But our meals are indulgences, a full and satisfying experience you'd normally expect at a nice restaurant.
Each meal begins with our private-roast coffee, tea, and juice, with fresh fruit and made-from-scratch muffins served family style. Then we bring you homemade bread, made that morning or the night before, along with an individual serving of the day's entree.
Our entrees range from frittatas, a sort of open-face Italian omelet, to baked apple French toast, omelets, stuffed crepes, eggs Florentine, fancy pancakes, quiche and even some creations of our own.
We gladly adapt the entrees and muffins to accommodate special diets, including vegetarian breakfasts, vegan breakfasts and diabetic breakfasts. If the entree doesn't suit you, we always have cereal available.
When the weather permits, and that's most of the year, we serve breakfast on the back porch, where you can watch the sun rise to the adoration of the birds and flowers.
Each evening we serve a variety of beverages with an appetizer to prepare you for dinner out. It's a great time to look over our collection of menus and share suggestions with other guests and your hosts about places to eat, sights to see and things to do.

If there is an overriding theme at Inn on Main Street, it would be to embrace the healthy basics while focusing on your comfort. We make all our foods from scratch, including our muffins and breads.
We avoid using cleaning chemicals, deodorizers, fertilizers and pesticides, choosing instead to clean with natural and biodegradable cleaners like vinegar, citrus oils and baking soda. We've adopted the Green Hotels philosophy, which means we'll forgo changing towels and linens as often if that is your choice, thus saving water and reducing wastewater.
We cook with our own organically grown herbs and vegetables whenever possible, and buy from local organic farmers when we can. Our home is smoke-free, though we keep ash trays on the porch to accommodate smokers.
In consideration to guests who are sensitive to allergens, we do not accept pets. We do not even use potpourri. We will remove down pillows from your room on request.
Owners, Dan and Nancy Ward, who come to innkeeping from careers in journalism and special education, can help you find the right shops, restaurants, hiking trails or outfitters to make your mountain stay memorable. They have Biltmore House tickets on hand, can arrange ski packages to Wolf Laurel and offer discounted green fees at Reems Creek Golf Club.
