Shed Cabin Fever by Staying at the Pinecrest Bed and Breakfast, North Carolina
Along with the other usual cast of characters that pay us a visit this snowy season, we have recently had a small flock of plump Robins scurrying around in the back yard. I wouldn’t want to be the Robin-in charge that made that call to come back so early. I know it is hard to believe, but Spring’s arrival is inevitable — calendar-wise, the 20th of March officially ushers in the warming season and along with it a bustling of activity around our fair city of Asheville, North Carolina.
He's ready for Spring and so are we!
Mention the “Cabin Fever Special” when booking your stay at this Asheville Bed and Breakfast and we will leave a sample of Spring’s blooming offerings in your room. Our reduced rates, effective through March 31st, will help you melt away those Winter memories of canceled school, rearranged schedules and all that shoveling. Your own flock, or just your little love bird will surely give you huge credit for such a good call.

All That Jazz Weekend
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
but the piano’s hot
It’s just a noisy hall
Where there’s a nightly brawl
And All That Jazz!

The Grove Park Inn’s “All That Jazz Weekend” has earned national recognition as one of the premiere jazz festivals of the southeast.

Last Friday and Saturday over a foot deep blanket of snow fell in the Asheville, N.C. area. By 2:00 in the afternoon on Friday, our Asheville B & B had lost power which wouldn’t return until sometime late Saturday afternoon. Adventures abound as incoming guests were stranded on I-26 just 20 miles south of Asheville from Friday afternoon until they arrived on our doorstep at 6:00 on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the heavy white stuff took several trees and there are too many limbs down to count. Despite the problems the weather presented it was a beautiful winter wonderland. Although Asheville used to see more snow, they have not seen this much in many years. We have shared some pictures of the Pinecrest Bed and Breakfast in Asheville, N.C. following the storm. We still have snow in the front yard, but rest assured that there is a clean path to the front door.
