Asheville- Named Happiest City in the World
If you like to be around other happy people like we do, then you’ll love to stay at the Green Mountain Bed and Breakfast. Happiness is contagious! We enjoy attracting happy people and spreading happiness around.
According to ABC’s 20/20 and the book The Geography of Bliss, Asheville was given top honors as the Happiest City in 2008- not just in America, but in the World. We have a diverse population that is generally progressive and laid back where hippies, college students, straights, gays, business professionals, hard-working laborers, health and eco-conscious folks, native Appalachian families and transplants from around the USA create an interesting melting pot.
The Asheville area satisfies all types of tourists with a variety of cultural events, museums, music festivals, art galleries, antique shops, historic sites, adventure tours, biking and hiking trails, “new age” shops and spiritual events. Asheville is a dining paradise, offering casual outdoor cafes, ethnic restaurants, fine dining, wine bars, and brewpubs. Asheville was also named Beer City USA in 2009.

A clean room is something that every guest deserves. We think you’ll be impressed with our focus on clean and tidy rooms. We have scored a perfect 100 on all of our county health inspections. We really do consider cleanliness to be a reflection of our reputation.
Our country location creates a sense of serenity and peace. Being surrounded by a creek, shade trees, flora and mountains encourages wildlife like deer, birds, white squirrels and rabbits to flourish.
In addition to our goals of attracting Happy Guests, serving their needs beyond their expectations and creating a memorable experience, we consider our stewardship of the Earth seriously. We have developed a Green and Eco-Conscious philosophy and are a Certified Green Hotel. We choose products to clean, maintain, decorate and furnish the B&B that are toxin-free and earth-friendly. The National Wildlife Federation has awarded us with Certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Certified Good Neighbor designations. Our B & B opened in the summer of 2006 as Asheville’s Original Green Bed and Breakfast. Our hearty gourmet breakfast includes organic, local, seasonal, and natural ingredients.
