Welcome to Cumberland
Falls Bed and Breakfast, in Asheville Inn, North Carolina,
North Carolina. From the moment you enter this haven, you
know it’s a special place.
The stroll up to our house will transport
you to the gracious world of Cumberland Falls. Flowers of
all kinds, evergreens abounding and the waterfall’s
gentle, rippling sound will greet while crossing the Koi fill
pond on the wooden foot bridge. Round the corner up to the
covered porch; take a deep breath of mountain air and leave
your cares behind.
The simple character of the house is turn-of-
the-century Victorian only better as no expense has been neglected
in providing for our guest comfort.
