A great deal on an Asheville area B&B

Loyalty is important to us at Inn on Main Street; we cherish our repeat and referral guests, and want to treat them best. The best deals should go to those who book early and book often.

So here’s our new deal, available only to former guests and those they refer, and those who subscribe to the Inn on Main Street blog or Facebook page.

Stay two consecutive nights or longer between now and October, and take $25 off the cost of each night. Any room, any days of week.If you already booked a stay between July 6 and Sept. 30, let us know and we’ll apply the discount.

Just mention our Loyalty Special when you book, or write it in the notes area if you book online and we’ll subtract the discount. We can’t combine that with the extended-stay discount or other discounts we may offer from time to time, but it does apply to all our packages, such as Soaking Soulmates, Girlfriend Getaway, and Raft and Relax. Also, you must book directly with us by phone or via our web site online .

Hope to see you soon.

Something to celebrate

We’ve decided that the best thing we have going for us at Inn on Main Street is a few thousand satisfied guests.

When we started innkeeping, we hadn’t fully comprehended what it would be like to have people visiting our home during some of the most sensitive times of their lives. They’re here for honeymoons, babymoons, engagements, their children’s weddings, and even to fulfill their bucket lists as time grows short. We’re moved to be bystanders and facilitators for these special occasions, and try to remind ourselves how important it is help our guests make their visit the best it can be.

One of the most common reasons for a romantic getaway is to celebrate an anniversary. Often the couple is in their 20′s and leaving a baby with the grandparents for the first time. Other times the anniversaries are milestones like 25 years, 40, 50 or more, monuments to a rock-solid commitment that has weathered years of changes. For those folks celebrating because they made the right choice in a mate, we’ve begun a gallery of anniversary pictures on our Facebook page. If you’ve celebrated your anniversary at Inn on Main Street, please send us your picture and we’ll post it on our new gallery.

And at our super son-in-law’s suggestion, we plan to create another gallery: Photos of babies who visited us en utero as their parents celebrated a babymoon, and also of babies conceived at Inn on Main Street. If only those walls could talk!
