Asheville is a very pretty area to visit! I recommend the Biltmore for Sunday for reasons already mentioned. Be SURE you wear very comfortable shoes that day, because you will be on your feet and walking a LOT!

Did you call the hotel to make sure you can get the room type you want? Usually if you call early enough they have no problem getting you into a room that fits your needs.
I really hope you enjoy your trip. Asheville is a great place, especially in the summer. I told my husband last night that we needed a getaway.... we''ve been renovating our new house for the past month and have to move into it by the middle of next week. It''s been very stressful and we both need a break. Maybe a quick trip to Asheville is just what we need.

I am so glad you had such a good time in Asheville! Your hotel room was gorgeous. I am definitely going to look into staying there next time. I can''t always expect to get upgraded at the Inn!![]()
