What they say
Also in AFAR.
The Blue Ridge Mountains stand in for the Black Forest at Grand Bohemian Asheville, a 104-room luxury property inspired by old-world Bavarian hunting lodges, complete with stag-antler chandeliers, rich velvet and brocade textiles.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The entrance to the Biltmore Estate sits directly across the street, and Biltmore Village shops are a short walk away.

The rooms
Wooden shutters open from most bathrooms into the bedrooms, where tufted headboards provide a lighter counterpoint to the moody lobby.
The spa and gym
Treatments at the third-floor boutique spa include naturopathic bodywork and Glo2 facials. A fitness center stays open around the clock.
Restaurant
Red Stag Grill
Elk carpaccio and tableside martinis headline dinner, backed by a wine vault holding over seven hundred bottles.
How it began
The lodge looks centuries old, but it was built from scratch in 2009 on the site of a former gas station.
