Larry Merrill, owner of Applewood Manor Inn Bed & Breakfast and president of the Asheville Bed & Breakfast Association, says all shopping destinations were recommended by innkeepers. “We know this area and live here,” Merrill says. “Our innkeepers are the ultimate concierges for the Asheville experience.” Asheville is known for its National Gingerbread Competition™ at the Omni Resorts Grove Park Inn and the holiday candlelight tours and events hosted at the Biltmore. This package takes the Asheville holiday experience one step further.
“Our goal is always to provide a unique, inspiring experience for our inn guests. This holiday offering allows us to reach out and share the ‘inn-sider’ experience across Asheville,” Merrill says.
