"Keep close to nature's
heart...and break clear away, once in a while and climb
a mountain or spend a week in the woods..." John Muir
 Discover
a wonderful day (or several) in gorgeous western North Carolina during your stay at the Inn on
Mill Creek Bed & Breakfast near Black Mountain and
Asheville. You'll find plenty of time and space for
relaxing at our B&B, which is literally surrounded by North Carolina's
Pisgah National Forest. And you'll be able to get a
great start to the day with our breakfasts that are made
from scratch using fresh ingredients.
If you're looking for lodging near
the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate, or the Lake
Lure/Chimney Rock State Park area, we're centrally
located between the three. Day trips to Biltmore and
Asheville, Mount Mitchell (the
highest peak in the eastern United States), Linville
Falls, Catawba Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Mt. Pisgah,
the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Chimney Rock State
Park are easy using the Inn on Mill Creek as your
homebase during your North Carolina mountain getaway.
The eclectic small city of Asheville,
also known as Foodtopia and one of the best small cities
for art, is 20-25 minutes west. The small town of Black
Mountain, with its walkable downtown, charming shops and
local farm-friendly restaurants, is just 10 minutes to
the west, while the historic railroad town of Old Fort
is 15 minutes to the east.
Our area of Western North Carolina attracts the nature lover,
the romantic, the history buff, and those who like to
take the scenic route to a relaxing and rejuvenating
destination. With casual and comfortable guest rooms,
more than seven acres of elbow room, and two
rhododendron-filled miles of protected forest land
between our B&B and the rat race, you have the easy task
of taking your vacation at your own pace.

ROAD UPDATE: MAY 20
Mill Creek Road/State Route 1407 leading to the Inn on Mill Creek from Ridgecrest
and Black Mountain had been closed in early May for shoulder repair work
due to damage by heavier than usual rainfall. We're happy to share that
the road is currently back open for local traffic, with a half-day's
work yet to be done to install some piping for drainage. As always,
please use care when traveling our road that winds through Pisgah
National Forest. The other end of Mill Creek Road from Old Fort is, of
course, open as well. If you have any questions about arriving to the
Inn, please feel free to
e-mail us.
