“Elegant Inn With Great Southern Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

We recently had a leadership meeting for our company at the Elizabeth Leigh Inn in Hendersonville, NC. It is a small town in the Smokey Mountains south of Asheville. It was a great experience and in all my years of business meetings I don't recall a better one. Mike and Cindy Baer know how to put together a great event.

The Inn is a fully restored home built in the late 1800's. The restoration was done with a subtle blending of modern conveniences with elegant, historic architecture. The food was excellent.

Our meeting was a casual, laid back atmosphere, in elegant surroundings. We would move our meeting from the dining room, to the living room, to the large front porch as the mood struck us. Wifi connectivity made it easy. A conference room is being constructed on the lower level of the carriage house in the back yard.

For a great business meeting, or for a great get-away, I highly recommend the Elizabeth Leigh Inn in Hendersonville, NC.

“Beautiful rooms in a wonderful little town - personal touch and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010

We had a great time at the Elizabeth Leigh Inn. Everything about the stay was perfect. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The atmosphere is easy-going and relaxing. And, the couple that owns the inn (Cindy and Mike) take care to make sure that everything about your trip is perfect. I asked that they order flowers in advance and a beautiful bouqet was waiting on us when we arrived. Their restaurant recommendations were fantastic also. We just can't say enough good things about the Elizabeth Leigh Inn. We highly recommend it. You won't find a better place to enjoy the town of Hendersonville or visit the waterfalls nearby.

“What a great Bed and Breakfast!”

My college girlfriends and I have made it a tradition to visit the Elizabeth Leigh Inn every year and I now start looking forward to the next year the moment I leave! Mike and Cindy are the quintessential southern hosts and treat us like family. The accomodations are immaculate and the food is always delicious. The inn itself is a beautiful, historic home complete with a charming front porch on which we spend most of our time. It is also very close to the lovely downtown area of Hendersonville which has lots of cute shops and restaurants. It is an experience I would highly recommend!

“Once you stay there, you want to return over and over again!”

My experience at the Elizabeth Leigh Inn has been outstanding. I go with 3 of my close girlfriends once a year to Hendersonville for a girls weekend. We have stayed with Mike and Cindy for 10 years. We book our next year’s reservation the day we leave. We look forward to this weekend each year because they treat us like family. Here is a perfect example of what I mean by that statement.

One year Cindy and Mike were catering a bridal rehearsal dinner for about 70 people on the night we arrived. Cindy got permission from the groom’s parents for us to be included in their cookout, that was being held in the side yard of the Inn. She seated us at a special table and we had a wonderful time. It was an evening we will always remember.

“You can't get a better B&B experience, Elizabeth Leigh is wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010

Mike and Cindy are the most gracious hosts. We have visited 6 times in the past three years. The rooms are comfortable and Cindy and MIke could not be more accomodating. Anything we wanted or needed they will gladly take care of. We feel like they are family, we have sat in their kitchen, (a wonderful comfortable) rocking chair and just chatted like we have known them for years. The breakfast in the morning is wonderful and again they would do anything to make it more enjoyable. I would strongly recommend anyone who is looking to travel to Hendersonville, definately make the Elizabeth Leigh Inn your choice.
