North Lodge on Oakland Bed & Breakfast

Front Parlor
The Parlor contains a gas-burning fireplace fronted by comfortable seating, original hardwood flooring and oriental rugs. Toward the rear of the Parlor are the stairs leading to the six well-appointed guestrooms.

Stone Porch
The stone porch covers the entire front of the Inn. Formerly an exterior porch prior to the Inn's usage as a Tuberculosis Hospital, it is now enclosed with beautiful windows that surround and stonework on all four walls. Seating on the Stone Porch allows guests to enjoy those same things you would enjoy at the garden gazebo during days of inclimate weather or simply a change of scenery. The Stone Porch, while excellent for rest and relaxation, is also the place to find information regarding activities, adventures and sights around Western North Carolina. Among the literature our guests can also find an extensive DVD selection to enjoy on the flat-screen TV found in their guestroom. It is definitely one of those areas used regularly for the simple things, such as enjoying our afternoon snacks and a cup of hot chocolate.

Dining Room
The elegant dining room has Victorian influenced wallpaper in burnt orange and cream colored hues. The furnishings are a French Country sideboard and glass cabinet along with a large dining table that can easily seat ten. The hardwood flooring is covered by a beautiful oriental rug and a fireplace completes the ambience of that room. Enjoy pastries and fresh-baked cookies every afternoon in the Dining Room. An informal survey of our guests certainly confirms that the chocolate chip cookies are the running favorite. For those with tastes beyond cookies, when nothing else will do, popcorn is available all day.

Garden/Gazebo
A walk around the exterior of North Lodge on Oakland will include a tour of our Gardens. This space includes an array of different types of plantings and floral features, along with a relaxing fountain just steps away from the gazebo. The gazebo includes seating for four with a ceiling fan and lighting for activities throughout the day. A visit to the gazebo allows our guests to enjoy nature at its best, quiet time for reading, relaxation for that perfect glass of wine or the simple pleasure of simply doing nothing.

The Magnolia Room
During your stay adopt the enormous 100 year old magnolia tree outside your window! The popular Magnolia Room features mahogany furniture and a gas fireplace, creating a warm, elegant look. The walls are papered in a dusky pink floral with a pale green rope border. The queen bed skirt, window treatments, and screen in a bright floral pattern add brightness to this, our most popular room, located on the second floor of the lodge.

The Geranium Room
What a cheery room, perfect for your getaway! A delightful queen size bed is the focal point of this intimate enclave, located on the second floor. Pure white walls provide the background for the dramatic red and gold fabrics. A built-in armoire provides closet space and a hiding place for the TV/DVD, while the window boxes at each window are home to dozens of geraniums to brighten your morning! An overstuffed chair comforts you after a long day exploring, and the bathroom sports a claw-foot tub salvaged from the restoration. (The fireplace is ornamental.)

The Carolina Room
"Nothing Could Be Finer Than ..." this warm and spacious bedroom. Let the dawn gently awaken you to a comfortable and wonderful homey feeling. Carolina blue, rose and honey tones accent the wallpaper, while a queen size four-poster bed adds a touch of romance to this very charming room on the second floor. The club chairs in front of the gas fireplace are ideal for shoes-off book reading, while a skylight adds a nice touch in the bathroom! Isn't it time to get away from it all?
