Asheville Mountain Lodge Welcomes Group Visits

BENT CREEK LODGE is a unique and special place nestled on the side of its own mountain in Asheville NC. With 10 themed guest rooms and a 3 bedroom vacation rental, the Lodge offers groups an ideal setting. Decks and a balcony open to a view of the surrounding mountains and forest. A full sized pool table and "guest guitar" provide inside recreation and WIFI is free throughout the Lodge. On site hiking trails allow an opportunity to work off the mornings delicious breakfast as well as enjoy the remarkable mountain woods and scenery.

Group reservations have always been an important part of the Bent Creek Lodge business and this year the numbers are growing. With years of experience, the Lodge management has learned how to balance the needs of a group with the needs of other guests. Groups visit the Lodge for business, birthdays, weddings, or just to have fun and reconnect with friends. Many groups come back year after year becoming part of the Lodge's "extended" family.

As 2011 begins the Bent Creek Lodge has hosted business retreats for the Biltmore Estate, The Mercury Gate Co. from Cary and the Corning Cable Systems Co., as well as many regular friends or family groups. In mid-May the Tandem Mountain Bike Riders return for their third year. In the coming months the Lodge will host everything from a 90th birthday celebration to first time weddings for a variety of mountain lovers - literally.

The Lodge also has the capacity for catered dinners and lunches created by owner/chef Jodee to please both the eye and the palette. After dinner wine or coffees with relaxing on the deck or a round of pool bring a perfect end to a special meal.
