We had a great time at the Blind Tiger! Our room was comfy and well appointed, and the decoration and overall vibe of the place were unique and great. We would have loved for the jets in the tub to be actually working, however we realize the description of the room does say soaking tub. But that was a minor thing, highly recommended and will stay here again.

Blind Tiger thought of everything. I highly recommend and will come back if in the area. room was spacious, clean, quiet and oh so nice and dark! the white robes were a welcome treat as we got caught in a downpour leaving the Biltmore and were soaked. We could walk for dinner which we really love after a day of driving, What a lovely experience

The room was very comfortable with a giant bathroom big shower and tub and the main house was stocked with healthy snacks, fancy beverages, and coffee. Within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shops in downtown Asheville. We loved using the fireplace.

Dreamy beds, beautiful aesthetics, kind hosts

We had visited the Portland location and absolutely adored the experience. Asheville did not disappoint! If you are looking for inspired aesthetics, kind hosts, great locations, and unique touches, Blind Tigers are for you. This breakfast wasn't quite as mindblowing as Portland's, but the host was gracious to explain the limitations they face and in light of that, it was adequate and still delightful. The Table is SO spacious we were able to crash with 4 kids on various padded spaces with extra pillows and blankets we requested. Their sheets and blankets are divine. Could not have loved it more.
