The room was very comfortable with a giant bathroom big shower and tub and the main house was stocked with healthy snacks, fancy beverages, and coffee. Within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shops in downtown Asheville. We loved using the fireplace.

Dreamy beds, beautiful aesthetics, kind hosts

We had visited the Portland location and absolutely adored the experience. Asheville did not disappoint! If you are looking for inspired aesthetics, kind hosts, great locations, and unique touches, Blind Tigers are for you. This breakfast wasn't quite as mindblowing as Portland's, but the host was gracious to explain the limitations they face and in light of that, it was adequate and still delightful. The Table is SO spacious we were able to crash with 4 kids on various padded spaces with extra pillows and blankets we requested. Their sheets and blankets are divine. Could not have loved it more.

Amazing boutique hotel :)

My wife and I visited Asheville for our anniversary and stayed at The Blind Tiger. It is a wonderful boutique hotel that is beautifully decorated with unique vintage art and furniture. It also is just a short walk from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!

Loved this place & its quirkiness. You definitely need to notice the fine print which I may not have fully but isn’t a true B&B. However, there are plenty of free breakfast continental items and specialty coffees and teas for your enjoyment. Self service what you want and how ever much you want. Snacks and drinks always available. Saw a staff member 1 time in almost a 2 days; however, the modern & convenient text service works fantastic!! I did have to use & got immediate responses. So you feel like it’s your home practically. The bed was super comfy and loved the room. Sink was in the room outside the bathroom which was added quirkiness, but it did have slow backup so we couldn’t run the sink hardly. That was only hiccup which wasn’t a big deal. You are fairly close to things and definitely short drives to others. Would definitely come back!! And a great price!! Free parking!!
