 Mountain
Laurel Bed & Breakfast caters to Gays and Lesbians
and therefore it is very important to
promote an atmosphere of acceptance,
freedom, and comfort. We have guests from all walks
of life and from all areas of the country
who come together to a place
where they can make new friends.
Treat yourself and get
away from the world for a weekend or
longer.
Mountain
Laurel Bed & Breakfast, just 20
minutes from downtown Asheville, sits on a knoll
surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains of
Western North Carolina. As you approach
Mountain Laurel B&B, the house
greets you with rustic beauty and a setting of
majestic mountain views. Get lost in the
peaceful tranquility that awaits your
restless soul.
1 hen you step through the door you reach
a haven of safety, privacy
and companionship. You’ll feel like
you’ve come home to a welcoming
atmosphere where you can be yourself.
Warmth and acceptance are the keywords
and you can settle in to relax, read,
stroll around the property, or bask in
the sun on the deck. We lack fo rmality
or structure and we relish easy-going
fun with laughter, good conversation,
and lazy relaxation.
Mountain Laurel Bed & Breakfast sits on a
hill surrounded by trees, woods, and
mountains. You feel like you are in a tree
house as you look out numerous windows in
every direction. The views change almost
hourly. Sometimes you might be locked in the
fog so thick you can almost cut it with a
knife; at other times it is so clear that
the leaves stand out in detail on the trees.
The seasons are distinct and each has traits
which are both endearing and awe-inspiring.
Spring
is a rebirth of the earth, and something
new blooms every month, starting with
the daffodils and the
forsythia which
begin to pop out as early as the end of
March.
Next, the azaleas and crocuses show off
their colors,
followed by the thrift.
As
the temperatures warm, the blueberries
on our back hillside burst into bloom.
The summer can bring some pretty warm
weather and though we do not have air
conditioning, it hardly ever gets
unbearable at Mountain Laurel Bed &
Breakfast. The
constant breeze on the hill keeps you
cool enough to truly enjoy nature's
beauty.
As
fall arrives, the trees display their
magnificent colors while guests flock to the mountains to
gaze at the spectacular exhibit.
Visitors need only out on the deck to enjoy
nature's splendor.
Winter
is usually sporadic and the temperature can
vary from the teens to the high 50's and
even above. Snow falls on occasion, and we
have had guests get snowed in several times,
so just we get out the sleds or skis and
play in the snow. We share hot
chocolate, play pool, drink spiced wine, and
make great meals for everyone. At times,
getting down the mountain can be a
challenge, and we always hope that we
won’t lose power, though it really doesn’t matter as we can heat with wood and
cook with gas.
At Thanksgiving you will probably be asked
to share in the turkey, if you want.
Visiting at Christmas you may have to help
decorate the tree or take part in our annual
New Year's Eve Celebration. We welcome
everyone to take part in whatever activity
they find appealing.
Each season at Mountain Laurel Bed &
Breakfast is different and has its own
particula r uniqueness. Try us at any season
and you’ll be glad you did!!
