The Mary Hoyt Suite is named for Captain and Mrs. Hoyt’s youngest daughter, whose bedroom this originally was. It sits on the second floor at the back of the house, overlooking the meadow. That is the quietest aspect of the property and the reason this room consistently gets booked by guests who want to actually rest. You hear birds in the morning and not much else.
The room is intentionally a little smaller and more intimate than the suites on the front of the house, which is its character rather than a limitation. A queen sized bed, a love seat in the sitting area, a writing desk with chair tucked into the alcove, and a chest of drawers and full closet that are genuinely usable, not the postage stamp closets you sometimes find in restored Victorian houses. The fireplace operates seasonally from mid October through mid March. The en suite bathroom features one of the inn’s clawfoot tubs with overhead shower, which is the original Victorian arrangement and reads as charming rather than dated once you are in it.
This is the suite to book if your idea of a Blue Ridge Mountains getaway is reading by the window in the morning, working through a stack of books, or having a slow conversation over wine without being interrupted by anything happening on the property. It is also a strong choice for a solo professional needing a quiet, distinctive place to stay for a few nights near Asheville. The writing desk genuinely works, the WiFi is reliable, and the room does not feel like a hotel.
A few practical notes. The room sits a few steps down the hall from the second floor common sitting area, where coffee and tea are available 24 hours, so you have an easy informal space outside the room without it being right next door. Chef prepared breakfast is included each morning in the dining room downstairs.
