Guaranteeing Your Reservation:

One night’s deposit (excluding taxes) is required for all reservations.

Cancellation Policy:

We understand that events occur that may prohibit you from keeping your reservation; however, unlike hotels that maintain hundreds of rooms, ours is a very small establishment and short-notice cancellations can have a big impact on our business. We have made a commitment to you and, at times, turn away potential guests when rooms have been reserved. With this in mind, we ask all guests to adhere to the following cancellation policy:

We require a 7-day cancellation for all reservations of 4 and fewer nights; 14-day cancellation for all reservations of 5 or more nights. A refund of your deposit minus a $25.00 handling/cancellation fee per room will be given for cancellations made prior to the 7-/14-day window described above. If cancellation is made within the cancellation window, there will be no refund made of the deposit.
Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled arrival date will be responsible for paying the entire reservation amount unless we are able to rebook the room for the entire length of stay. If the room(s) is rebooked, then the standard 7- or 14-day cancellation policy will be followed.
Early Check Outs will be responsible for the entire reservation amount unless we are able to rebook the room for the remaining nights on the reservation.
For group reservations (3 or more rooms), and holidays requiring a 3-night stay, we enforce a 14-day cancellation policy.
No Shows – Guests with confirmed reservations who do not call or otherwise notify us that you will not be keeping your reservation, will be assessed the entire reservation amount.

Methods of Payment:

Cash, personal check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Traveler’s Checks are accepted. Deposits must be made with a credit card.
We also accept the following Gift Certificates: I Love Inns/American Historic Inns, BNBFinder.com, Asheville Bed & Breakfast Association & Blake House Inn Gift Certificates.

Checking In & Out:

Check-in is between 3:00 – 6:00 pm (Mondays – Saturdays); 4:00 – 6:00 pm (Sundays). If an earlier or later check-in time is needed, please notify us in advance so that arrangements can be made to accommodate you. If you need to check in after 6:00 pm, we have self check-in procedures that will be provided in advance.
If you arrive and the Innkeeper/Asst. Innkeeper does not greet you, please check the Carriage House.
Check-Out time is 11:00 am. We will accommodate late check-outs if possible.
Early Check-Outs will be responsible for the entire reservation amount unless we are able to re-book the room for the remaining nights of the reservation.

Children:

We are a child-friendly B&B. Children of all ages are welcome. There is no additional charge for children 4 and younger.
Children are permitted in the Azalea, Lilac and Rose Rooms in the main house and the Sycamore Suite in the Carriage House. Headcount numbers for each room are indicated on the Rooms & Rates Page. While children under 4 are not charged an additional fee, they are considered in the overall headcount for a room.

Dogs:

We welcome dogs in 6 of our guestrooms: the Holly, Magnolia, Dogwood, Lilac, and Rose Rooms in the main house plus the Sycamore Suite in the Carriage House.
The first dog in a room incurs a $15.00 per day pet fee. The second dog is charged $10.00 per day. More than 2 dogs in a room must be authorized in advance with the Innkeeper. Pet fees help pay for the additional cleaning costs so that future guests with animal allergies are not inconvenienced.
When not in your room, your dog MUST be on a leash. Not all guests enjoy being jumped on or greeted by our four-legged guests so please respect everyone’s space and leash your dog, even when walking through the house.
If you leave your dog in the room alone, they should be crated. If your dog(s) is a barker, we may ask you to take him/her with you so as not to disturb other guests. Cleaning staff will not enter a guestroom to tidy if the dog(s) is/are not confined or crated, unless it is determined that the animal is in distress.
We encourage you to take your dog(s) to one of the area doggie daycare centers, so he/she can exercise and interact with other friendly dogs while you are out. Please visit our Doggie Scoop Page for a listing of doggie daycares.
The Innkeeper or Asst. Innkeeper are happy to walk your dog(s) while you are out. We will walk your dog(s) around Jake Rusher Park next to the Inn. Walks usually last between 15-25 minutes. Cost is $10 per walk. Arrangements for dog walking should be made in advance of your arrival.
Any damage to a person, guestroom, or the Inn’s property (whether caused by a pet or guest) will be the responsibility of the registered guest. All damages will be charged to the credit card on file.
All guests with dogs must sign and return a RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT when making a reservation. Failure to do so will cancel the reservation.
Donate pet supplies and save $10! Please only bring new pet items. Once the box is full, we will donate everything to the Animal Compassion Network.
