Second time, even more charm
I loved it so much, I booked a second stay at the cottage. Everything that was excellent during my first stay - the neighborhood, thoughtful and welcoming hosts, all the amenities you might need, cleanliness - was on-point again. Thank you for sharing your property and creating such a welcoming space for guests!

A warm welcome to Asheville
We arrived late after a last minute booking and Christian was very accommodating. He made us feel most welcome after our long journey. The hospitality was amazing. The accommodations were very clean and quite comfortable. Christian was so helpful with locating excellent food and any other services we needed. A very positive experience. The carriage house was darling and fresh. I believe the housekeeper said that the entire cottage had been renovated . The two bedrooms were perfection with high end linens and most tastefully decorated. The attention to detail was impressive. I would definitely book this property again. Our host was available, but gave us the privacy to relax that we desired. Five stars for sure! Linda Sullivan September 9, 2019

Cute Cottage
We enjoyed staying at the Carriage House for a long weekend. The location was convenient to a lot of things locally. Excellent place for those looking to stay and explore the local cuisine. The kitchen was sparse but had essentials for breakfast. The house was comfortable and Christian was very accommodating for our kids and dogs. Only complaint was a fan would have been nice for downstairs to help with airflow and keep things cool during the day.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. Our kids were sick but Christian and his wife were very accommodating to our needs and hope to return in the future. The cottage and surrounding neighborhood is lovely.

Lovely carriage house in pretty, quiet neighborhood.
This little cottage was a perfect size for the two of us and our dogs. Good area for walks with them. The property is well maintained and cute. Shabby chic describes the living area, it was quite comfortable. The beds and linens were first rate. The Inn on the property and grounds are beautiful. Christian was an attentive host, but was not intrusive. I’m sure staying at his Sweet Biscuit Inn would be a treat to BnBers. We would stay here again.

Highly Recommend!
I stayed in the cottage this past weekend with some friends. We went for a "mom's weekend away" and it was truly a great experience. The hosts were extremely polite and pleasant and very hospitable. They made sure we had all we needed and provided some great recommendations of restaurants in the area. I would gladly rent this place again or the B&B that is on the same property. I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. The cottage is very small (thus, a cottage) but was very comfortable for myself and my 3 friends.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Shah

Host profile image
Susan Shah and John Meyer purchased the inn and adjacent Carriage House in their favorite Asheville neighborhood in January 2020. Susan was born and raised in Asheville. After graduating from Meredith College in Raleigh, she spent the next two decades working in hospitality with her family’s hotel business and commercial real estate and property management. Her passion has been hosting parties for family and friends. She’s happy to be back in the mountains near her family and excited to welcome guests who want to explore her hometown’s beauty and charm.

John spent his first ten years in Northeast Ohio before calling North Carolina his permanent home in 1986. An NC State University graduate, he worked in golf, landscaping and health care, before finding his passion in the kitchen. With a fondness for being in the mountains, John is excited to explore regional culinary traditions and call Asheville home.

Why they chose this property

The Carriage House is ideally located close to everything Asheville has to offer. The Biltmore House and Biltmore Village are less than 1 mile away. Vibrant Downtown Asheville filled with shopping, restaurants, music and great people watching is less than 2 miles away. The Blue Ridge Parkway and River Arts District are less than 10 minutes away. The two-story brick and cedar shake cottage with a full kitchen and a private patio is perfect for traveling families or a small group of friends. There are two queen bedrooms plus a daybed, kitchen, and living area. The comfortable cottage has a downstairs living room with an electric fireplace, compact stereo system, and wall-mounted HDTV with DVD player. The cottage is cooled with individual A/C window units in each bedroom and on the main floor. Children of any age and up to 2 dogs are allowed in the Carriage House.

What makes this property unique
