Downtown Asheville's Historic Biltmore Village; Griffin's Lair, shopping, walk.

Location:
Cozy, sophisticated, and conveniently located, this historic apartment is in the Biltmore Village Historic District. Built in 1895 and designed by R.S. Smith, the supervising architect for The Biltmore House, Griffin's Lair is located on an upper terrace bordered on the West by the 8,000 acre Biltmore Estate grounds.

Views from the private terrace overlook Biltmore Village, The Cathedral of All Souls, designed by Richard Morris Hunt and peek a boo view of Grandfather Mountain.
Griffin's Lair is located next door to Ruth's Chris steakhouse and is just 3 doors away from Starbucks cafe and the entrance to the Biltmore Estate, North Carolina's most popular tourist attraction. Bring your bicycles to explore the estate after touring the largest French Revival Castle in the U.S.

Griffin's Lair is located upstairs above Biltmore Lamp and Shade and next door to the Gardener's Cottage, Mountain Oak Realty and Peace and Nice Boutique which are also located in the same complex.

Accommodations:
(Sleeps 5) Historic Cottage 1-bedroom Apartment 810 sq ft, 1 bath
Occupancy Summary / Sleeps in beds: 5 Max. Occupancy: 5

Description:
The apartment has been fully restored and enhanced by owner Robert S. Griffin, AIA of Griffin Architects PA . Griffin and his partner Ron Clemmer moved the cottage to its current location 30 years ago to save it from demolition. Griffin personally petitioned The City of Asheville to create the Biltmore Village Historic District, was Co-chairman of the Biltmore Village Historic museum (which raised private funds to restore and add brick sidewalks and historic street lights to the village), and authored the Biltmore Village development plan for the city of Asheville Historic Resources Commission and The State of NC Department of Archives and History.

Griffin's Lair located in Historic Biltmore Village is in the perfect location for guests, moments to downtown, 15 minutes by car from Asheville's Regional Airport and within a few minutes walking distance from City and Trolly bus stops and all of Biltmore Village's attractions.

One luxuriously comfortable king bed in private bedroom complete with blackout curtains, custom lighting and a 40" LED smart tv. A queen sleeper sofa with custom air mattress a 50" LED smart tv and a twin daybed with a view of The Cathedral of All Souls. All sleeping areas are equipped with blackout shades or curtains. Serenity and a peaceful stay at Griffin's Lair is assured by the recent installment of sound deadening glass panels on all windows.

The apartment features numerous works of art from local artists such as Ann Vasilik, Bee Sieburg, Wendy Whitson, Lisa Oberreuter, Scott Lowrey, Lucy DeLaugerburg Wallace, and more. These works of art include paintings, prints, and Appalachian pottery. Stay here to enjoy an interior of local artistic flair.

Other specially shopping experiences in Biltmore Village include The New Morning Gallery, The Grand Bohemian Gallery, Southern Highland Craft Gallery and Dwellings. Restaurants within walking distance include Starbucks, The Red Stag Grille, Rezazs Restaurant, Ruth's Chris, The Corner Kitchen, Fig, and the Well Bred Bakery and Cafe. Nearby Ingles Grocery offers local and natural foods, and delicious prepared foods for takeout.

Apparel shopping within the Village includes Peace and Nice (Downstairs), Bellagio, Lilly Pulitzer, Ann Taylor, Chicos,
Joseph A. Banks and much more! Biltmore village offers shops featuring antiques, books, art, children's apparel, home accents and furniture, jewelry, nature and outdoors, and speciality gift items.

Come Stay in the one of George Vanderbilt's original Cottages restored and furnished by Robert S. Griffin, Asheville's Noted Architect and Interior Designer. Regrettably the quality, location and luxurious furnishings of this unique property are not child or pet friendly. Access to the adjoining rooftops is not allowed, yet possible, so care must be given to monitor & supervise children, as is direct proximity to 8,000 acres of wilderness of the Biltmore Estate, creating hazards for the unsupervised child.

The entrance to the historic Biltmore Estate, Asheville's most popular tourist attraction is just outside your door and literally bordering the massive estate. Bring your bicycles to explore the grounds, or have a picnic after touring the Vanderbilt family's picturesque estate.

Set right in the heart of Biltmore Village, Griffin's Lair affords all the highlights of downtown Asheville within minutes of your front door. Fine dining like Corner Kitchen & Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is just a few steps away for an evening out on the town without the hassles of parking, traffic, or being unable to enjoy a cocktail (or two) with dinner. Awaken to fresh mountain air and take a leisurely stroll down to Starbucks or Well Bred Bakery for the New York Times, Asheville Citizen Times, or just to relax and watch the passersby.

You deserve to vacation where you can relax, unwind, & be absolutely spoiled! Griffin's Lair is that vacation of indulgence.

Lovely secluded suite
The rooms were very lovely, spacious, tastefully decorated and super convenient for access to the Biltmore and Biltmore Village. We liked that there were TVs in the LR and Master BR. Great kitchen and outdoor, private seating area. The lighting switches were hard to get used to though. And the toilet paper was so awful, cheap, so maybe bring your own. Some issues with surfaces which seemed to be haphazardly cleaned. But all in all we would highly recommend this property!

Lovely Little Spot
We had a great time, the place was well furnished, and instructions are set out for almost EVERYTHING. Be advised though--DO NOT SHUT THE FRONT DOOR WITHOUT THE KEY. We learned that the hard way. To be clear, it was totally on us for having a momentary lapse in thought, but we're just not used to doors automatically locking. Perhaps an updated electronic lock would prevent this from happening again, but it is what it is. Overall a wonderful stay at a cute little place.

REUNION / GET-TOGETHER AT GRIFFIN'S LAIR
This site was excellent for us (three 70-year old women who were childhood friends in NJ, but now coming from Missouri, North Carolina, and South Carolina). Griffin's Lair is clean, tastefully decorated, and complete with all of the amenities needed. The private outdoor patio is pleasant. Location is very convenient for Biltmore estate and village, local arboretum, and Lake Lure. Highly recommend without hesitation.
