The Beaufort House, an Asheville inn, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has received many awards over the years. It has been rated the #1 bed and breakfast in Asheville. In 2007, it was featured in a NY Times travel article as one of the top 5 places to stay in Asheville. The Beaufort House has been written about in a variety of other publications including National Geographic 'Traveler', Southern Living, and Vegetarian Times publications.
Centered on 1.5 acres, the inn is surrounded by a host of native plants and trees in a beautifully landscaped setting, complete with waterfalls, fountains, porches, swings, hammocks, and flowering wisteria arbor - all contributing to the serenity of your guest experience.
Our Queen Anne Victorian architecture reflects the Biltmore Estate era when most of Asheville's historic homes were built. The original owner and builder of the Beaufort House was Theodore F. Davidson whose family were prominent landowners in Western North Carolina (WNC). Davidson, an Asheville lawyer, was both the Attorney General of North Carolina and the Mayor of Asheville during his career. Beaufort Lodge, as he named this home, was built for his wife and was the scene of many gala social events and political deliberations. |
