Love Is in the Air At Local Bed & Breakfasts

Story & Photos By Tim W. Jackson - Post Date: 02.02.2011

Opened in June 2009, The Bed & Breakfast on Tiffany Hill, an inn located in Mills River, is receiving lots of recognition. This delightful B&B, owned and operated by Selena Einwechter, is really on a roll.

Recently admitted to the Select Registry Distinguished Inns of North America, it was also named one of the top ten romantic places to stay in the U.S. in the February 2011 issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine, which explained why its editors loved the place saying, "Maybe it's because of the candlelit breakfast, maybe it's the luxe beds, or maybe it's the very charming Selena herself."

There’s more: The Bed & Breakfast on Tiffany Hill was just selected as one of the top ten romantic inns on iLoveinns. The iLoveInns editors said the inns on their list “provide the perfect location, world-class hospitality, personalized touch, and loving environment that dreams are made of."

Tiffany Hill sits on six acres about ten minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport and about 15 minutes from Hendersonville and Brevard. Built by Selena less than two years ago as a modern Bed & Breakfast, the inn offers five rooms each named after a Southern town (and decorated accordingly): Charlottesville, Virginia; Seaside, Florida; Madison, Georgia; Beaufort, South Carolina; and Natchez, Mississippi. Each room has its own bathroom and offers keyless entry, fine linens, a flat screen TV with DVD player, and wireless Internet.

Asked why she thinks her inn is receiving recognition as a romantic destination, Selena points to some of the packages she offers including the Romantic Waterfall Excursions and the Anniversary Photography Package. She says the inn’s beautiful house and property make it a perfect wedding locale. She discusses the spectacular candlelit three-course gourmet breakfasts. She explains that the grounds offer plenty of places to relax—the Adirondack chairs in the Circle of Trees, from a bench in the Secret Garden, or simply from a rocker on the front porch. They real key, she says, though, is allowing guests to simply be.


"I try to quickly figure out how much guests want me to interact with them," Selena says. "Then I try to act accordingly. I rarely see some guests, while I spend quite a bit of time with others. Some are on the go a lot. Some don't leave the property. I just offer the best accommodations I can and let them do the rest."


Selena is happy to make recommendations on what to see or do in the area if asked but she knows some people just want the time away to reconnect and relax. Little touches such as afternoon appetizers and wine, 24-hour access to snacks and a coffee bar, and finding a special treat on your pillow at the end of the day make each guest feel special.


The fact that the inn is new and was built specifically as a Bed & Breakfast, Selena suggests, is a treat for guests. "We offer all the modern conveniences that people are used to," she says. "People don't have to sacrifice comfort of convenience when they come here. We offer all the comforts of home plus some."

With so many accolades in such a short amount of time, Selena is obviously doing something right. "I'm so thrilled by the recognition Tiffany Hill has received," she says. “It's been a huge effort to get our name out there and to get people to hear about us, and I'm overjoyed about the reception we have had from our guests and those in the industry."
