Very clean rooms and air b and b! Loved our stay great location! Good parking! Room had a fireplace. Jetted tub and multi jetted walk in shower was the best! 10 minutes from The Biltmore and The Packs restaurant. Both are must see for Asheville. Will be back and stay again.
Blind Tiger is our Asheville one-and-only… the homelike atmosphere, fireplace, comfy bed and sumptuous bath make it easy to rest, relax and get ready for Asheville area adventures. Love!
The Blind Tiger was an exceptional unique place to stay. Great room, awesome decor, super friendly staff, and close to everything but not in everything. Best place I have stayed while in Asheville.
My wife and I visited Asheville for our anniversary and stayed at The Blind Tiger. It is a wonderful boutique hotel that is beautifully decorated with unique vintage art and furniture. It also is just a short walk from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
The cutest B&B ever! So clean & friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommend, and I’m picky!

We had a great time at the Blind Tiger! Our room was comfy and well appointed, and the decoration and overall vibe of the place were unique and great. We would have loved for the jets in the tub to be actually working, however we realize the description of the room does say soaking tub. But that was a minor thing, highly recommended and will stay here again.
The room was very comfortable with a giant bathroom big shower and tub and the main house was stocked with healthy snacks, fancy beverages, and coffee. Within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shops in downtown Asheville. We loved using the fireplace.
Blind Tiger thought of everything. I highly recommend and will come back if in the area.
room was spacious, clean, quiet and oh so nice and dark!
the white robes were a welcome treat as we got caught in a downpour leaving the Biltmore and were soaked. We could walk for dinner which we really love after a day of driving, What a lovely experience
Absolutely the coolest bnb. So much personality. Every room had its own eclectic vibe. Loved my room. Bed was comfortable and everything was perfect. So close to downtown but so quiet. Would totally recommend and will go again.
This was a wonderful stay just under a mile from downtown Asheville, NC. Not only were the staff professional and friendly, but the facilities were well maintained and the public areas were well stocked and accessible.
This BnB does all the little things right, and that is the difference between a 4 and 5 star review. We even saw a bear in the gardens outside during our stay, so it was awesome!
We had room #1 and though it was a darker room with a moody atmosphere, it was perfect for our romantic getaway. We will definitely consider staying here again or checking out the other Lark properties in future travels.
We had visited the Portland location and absolutely adored the experience. Asheville did not disappoint! If you are looking for inspired aesthetics, kind hosts, great locations, and unique touches, Blind Tigers are for you. This breakfast wasn't quite as mindblowing as Portland's, but the host was gracious to explain the limitations they face and in light of that, it was adequate and still delightful. The Table is SO spacious we were able to crash with 4 kids on various padded spaces with extra pillows and blankets we requested. Their sheets and blankets are divine. Could not have loved it more.
Our stay at the Blind Tiger was nothing short of wonderful. The seamless fusion of old-world charm and modern comfort created an enchanting atmosphere. I encountered a minor hiccup with the fireplace. The staff was incredibly helpful, responding promptly even after hours to ensure everything was in perfect order. Their dedication truly made a difference. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the tub added a touch of luxury to our stay. Ample towels and well-stocked bathroom amenities were a thoughtful touch. Admittedly, I overlooked the absence of a TV when booking, but this turned out to be a delightful surprise. With so much to explore in the surroundings, we only noticed on the second night, and our laptops provided more than enough entertainment. Working downstairs by the fireplace was a highlight, adding a cozy touch to our day. The home exuded a warm and inviting ambiance, making our stay truly memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this Blind Tiger to anyone seeking a charming retreat.
