This B and B looks directly on a small mountain lake; 2 of the 4 rooms look directly onto the lake with the mountains beyond. Our room, Graybeard, had one wall full of windows to enjoy the garden below and the lake nearby. As the property borders the lake, you can walk out the back gate to the popular lake... More

My wife and I recently stayed in the Graybeard room in the Arbor House. It was our first B&B experience and I am not sure how it can ever be topped. The room was on the bottom floor of the house and right off the kitchen. Next time we are going to try the lookout room on the 2nd floor... More

The Arbor House exceeded my already high expectations. Dave and Carolyn made me feel at home and were very nice. The room was spacious and very clean. Carolyn even drove me to the start of the Black Mountain Marathon and had fresh cookies for me when I returned. The views of the mountains and Lake Tomahawk from the Arbor House... More

You can sit in the sitting area and see the mountains. A great place to do some reading. On the private deck, you overlook Lake Tomahawk. There... More

The quality of B&B breakfasts ranges pretty widely, but those at the Arbor House are among the best you'll be served anywhere (the pumpkin pancakes are classics). Even for those of us who normally eat brutally healthy breakfasts, these indulgences are worth it. Of course, a B&B must offer far more than good... More

I've spent two consecutive summers at Arbor House for a week on each occasion in part for business as well as restful recreation. My lodging experience was consistently excellent. Restful, peaceful, as well as incredible scenery as the house overlooks a small local Lake Tomahawk. My personal experience was the equivalent of a stay at an individual retreat center. Dave... More

You will not be disappointed with this bed and breakfast. It was a beautiful home in a beautiful location. The breakfasts were delicious which made my husband happy and Carolyn and Dave were welcoming and helpful. The rooms had everything you could possibly need and were cozy. It was the first time I stayed somewhere that felt like home except... More

We are experienced B&B travelers, but Arbor House will probably be our most memorable! Not your typical Victorian style but more of a mix of classic older mountain home and newer additions with modern styling. The photos of the Inn that you see on their website are a good overview but in person, it's even better! The gardens and the... More
