Bed and Breakfast Description

Owl's Nest Inn At Engadine was built in 1885 by Captain John Hoyt in the mountains just outside of Asheville, North Carolina. The house, originally named Engadine, has been restored and decorated to maintain its Victorian character and charm. Owl's Nest Inn was added to the name in 1995.

The house was built incorporating the most modern technology of its time. Electricity was supplied to the house by a water-powered generator built on the property. Running water was provided to marble top sinks in water closets by a gravity-supplied system. Water was pumped by servants to a storage tank in the attic. From there it was supplied to sinks contained in closets between each of the bedrooms on the second floor. There was also central heat in the house provided by a coal furnace in the basement.

Even though electricity is now provided by the local power company, the coal furnace has been replaced with modern gas heat and an air conditioning system has been installed, the water closets are still in use in some of the bedrooms. It is believed that the barn currently stands where Captain Hoyt's locally famous Engadine wine was once made.

The living room is a special place for guests to gather and enjoy each other around the fireplace. An evening reception is always special, whether held in our living room or around our wood-burning fireplace outside on our patio. A piano resides in the dining room for those who would like to entertain the innkeepers. Games, books and a chess set
