<description><![CDATA[We loved Bent Creek Lodge! The location, on a wooded mountainside, is beautiful, with a wonderfully planned flower garden and paths in back. The lodge was inviting and well designed, and CLEAN. The breakfasts were original and delicious (the innkeeper has a degree in culinary arts, and it shows). The large back porches are restful, the sitting rooms are comfy. We stayed in the smallest room available (the Tree Room) and it was as inviting and accommodating as we could wish! I would definitely stay there again.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jodee and Doug are fantastic hosts with wonderful accommodations.  They are considerate, attentive, and respectful.  The beds and linens are incredibly comfortable - so much so that I asked about the mattress manufacturer; another  nice touch is that the four pillows on the beds were of varied firmness - two on the softer side, two on the firmer side.  
It's a peaceful place with hospitality woven throughout every action.
Also: great breakfast! I would stay here again without question.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bent Creek Lodge is in a beautiful wooded location.  Rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable.  Close to Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Owners are very nice.  We enjoyed talking to other guests at breakfast time.  Everyone was having a great time that weekend.  One lady was a frequent visitor, and brought her relatives on this trip.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wonderful place to stay.  Great breakfasts.  Beautiful deck.  I highly recommend it.  Just a mile from the Blue Ridge Highway and 10 minutes from Asheville.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Bent Creek Lodge was wonderful! We had never stayed at a B&B before and we loved it. Everyone was very nice. The lodge was beautiful and very clean and quiet. Very nice rooms. The food was very good, breakfast every morning and a snack in the afternoons.  They spoiled us.  We would definitely stay there again.  Thanks for everything Doug and Jodee!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This was our fist experience visiting any b&b and all I can say is that our next hosts have some huge shoes to fill!  The accommodations, ambiance, and hosts were top notch and we hope to visit again soon]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL. ENJOYED THE PEACE AND QUIET. VERY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE. GREAT PLACE TO COME TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE, OR GO DOWNTOWN IF YOU WANT TO SHOP OR SIGHT-SEE. WE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING & IT WAS THE BEST TIME WE HAVE SPENT TOGETHER IN A LONG TIME.!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bent Creek Lodge is exceptional from check-in to check-out. I have never felt more relaxed or at ease. The rooms are exceptional they definitely pay attention to individual needs/requests. The garden and flowers are just exceptional and you will love the woodwork and art throughout the lodge. This BnB is a cut above the rest.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A terrific value that provides a quiet, secluded, yet convenient stay (with a terrific view from your window/balcony) to the smokies!  Not too big, not too small...perfect!  

The hosts were terrific and provided a terrific decorum.  each room has its own character and the porches are fun, fun, fun!!!  

My lifelong friends and close family will come back for get togethers for years to come.  Its definately on the map for us! ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bent Creek was a wonderful place to stay.    Jodie and Doug were so personable and kind.  The Inn has got everything we could want.  We enjoyed a delicious breakfast that filled us up for the whole day.  We enjoyed mountain biking with our host Doug who gave  us a superb tour of Dupont Forest.  Other days he directed us to the best biking spots we could ride.  He would pull out his map and make sure we knew our way.  He is so knowledgeable about the area. When we would return "home" for the evening we were greeted by adorable pooches and a yummy afternoon snack. The huge tub in our room was a perfect way to end the day; complete with apple bubble bath to soothe our aching muscles.  It seems like there was never enough time to sit on the porch swing and look out onto the garden watching the birds and butterflies. This was our second year staying at Bent Creek and we will return for sure!  ]]></description>
