Marshall Inn Grand Porch Guestroom, Walk Downtown

The Grand Porch Guestroom (Room #1) is our only step free access room and has a King bed and en-suite bath. Common areas include a 1st & 2nd floor living room (where the complimentary light breakfast is available), dining room, game room, fire pit and a 50' porch overlooking downtown and the French Broad River. A short walk from charming, walkable Main St with its riverside cafes, restaurants, shops & brewery, and 25-minutes from Asheville, the Inn is on the National Register of Historic Places.

A large, inviting room and the only bedroom on the main floor (with step free access), room 1 features a window seat and elegant ornamental hearth. There is also direct access with a doorway to the 50′ porch. It’s a great place to relax after a day of exploring between the grand wood framed king bed and leather lounge seat. The private en-suite bathroom includes a spacious shower and complimentary personal care amenities. This renovated seven-bedroom historic Inn was built by the Biltmore's supervising resident and completing architect, Richard Sharp Smith.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Marshall House Inn is conveniently located between Asheville and Hot Springs. You will be a short drive from the music of Asheville, the Appalachian Trail and the Great Smokies in the middle of the Blue Ridge mountains. With over 55,000 acres of National forest you’ll find lots of opportunities for whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing, biking and zip lining.

There are five other guestrooms on property. Shared common areas include a 50' front porch overlooking downtown Marshall and the French Broad River, a living room on the ground floor and the second floor, multiple dining areas, a game room and a fire pit. The abundance of common area spaces available for you to enjoy is one of the best perks of staying at the Inn!

There are a number of books to enjoy, a 65" Samsung smart TV and games in the cozy second floor living room (there are no TVs in the guestrooms). On the other side of the property you can enjoy the fire pit (firewood included), or watch TV in the game room while choosing between a game of ping pong, skee-ball, giant jenga, chess and poker. If you are traveling with others and would like to consider adding on a private space for your group, there is a flex space above the game room available for rental which is perfect for yoga (mats provided), booking a mobile masseuse for your group, or using the space for an art retreat.
