"I couldn't have anything better to say about my stay at the Lazy Tiger Hostel! It was a wonderful, clean environment full of great people, including Ryan, the owner. I felt very welcomed and safe during my stay as a solo female traveler. The common spaces are cozy, and everything (bathrooms, bedrooms, common spaces, etc.) is well stocked and spotless. I hope I can come back and stay again!"

Dan and Diane are the perfect hosts for a convivial stay in this great B and B. We stayed three nights. There is plenty to do in the area. Diane’s breakfasts are legendary, and she individualises them for guest preferences. We were there over Halloween which was a blast. There are wine and coffee and snacks available in the cosy public areas which is great for getting to know your fellow guests, but no pressure if you don’t want to.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and it was perfect. A good location; it's in a quiet residential street a few minutes easy drive to the city centre and to the Biltmore estate. Our room was very nice and there is easy parking at the property, which is a lovely old house. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming and provided a fantastic breakfast. We highly recommend you stay here for a visit to Asheville.

Awesome experience at Asheville River Cabins. The cabin was cute, clean, modern and cozy. Sitting in the hot tub in the peaceful night air after a long drive was one of the highlights of my trip.

We stay here when we visit our sons who live in Morganton. It is always comfortable and has great staff. It is convenient to walking in historic downtown and close to great restaurants and bars (like Sidetracked!).

The hotel is absolutely lovely. Our room was large and spacious and really clean. Every guest is given two bottles of water on arrival which was a nice touch. Breakfast was standard hotel fare but good. We were in Forest City to see friends and will definitely stay here when we come again

Fabulous, pristine property. However, you will probably need to drive to eat out in the evenings, although the in-house Restaurant is good for one evening. Disappointed the outside space is not in sunshine in the afternoons. Luckily, we had a West facing balcony. The hotel is approximately 4 miles south of downtown.
