A mountain view and a two-block stroll to cafes make Inn on Main Street a great place to be when the snow falls. Leave the car in the lot and snuggle up by the fire.

One of our biggest challenges is to get the word out that the most convenient place to stay in the Asheville area isn’t always in the Montford or Chestnut Hill neighborhoods of the city. Folks always ask us if we’re close to “downtown,” usually meaning the restaurant district of Asheville.

Our downtown Weaverville is only two blocks away, and features five fun and unique cafes, three of which offer live music. All offer a nice selection of craft beers and good wines. Why would anyone want to walk a half mile or more from their Montford B&B to find a place to eat?

If you plan to drive anyway, we are only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville, or maybe five more than it will take you to drive from your Montford B&B and park. Even then, parking is free and plentiful in downtown Weaverville, and only a mile away from us is the Stoney Knob Cafe, one of the most popular destinations for diners from – you guessed it – Asheville.

We love the Montford and Chestnut Hill B&Bs for their architecture and styles of service, but surely can’t understand the perception that they are more conveniently located. Here at Inn on Main Street, you can enjoy views of the mountains, a quiet and safe stroll to cafes and our famous craft galleries, plus all the charm and personal attention that comes natural in a small town.
