We built Bent Creek Lodge in 1999 with timbers cut from this incredible setting to offer Asheville
visitors a retreat similar to the warm, rustic lodges we visited in the west. Nestled in a forested
triangle between the Blue Ridge Parkway and the French Broad River , the lodge is only 10 miles
from the center of Asheville, yet feels like a remote mountain get-a-way. You turn in our drive down
by the river and as you wind past the hillside of rhododendron and mountain laurel, there is a good
chance you'll see deer or wild turkeys. Once you are here enjoy a stroll through the gardens, hike the
trails that start along our creek, sit back on the spacious decks and porches to watch the birds or
cuddle up with a book by the great room's fireplace. Whatever you choose, it will be a rejuvenating
escape from the typical hurried lives left behind.
Specialties that set Bent Creek Lodge apart:
* An incredible mountain setting
* Delicious, creative breakfast served at individual tables each morning
* A bar opening to the kitchen where you can sit and watch breakfast prepared and tell us about your
adventures

made from locust logs cut from the property. It is decorated with photos, etchings and pottery of

the extra large bath it has a luxurious two person whirlpool tub, with a shower.
