The Carolina Jewel

Welcome to the Carolina Jewel, a historic “gem” in the beautiful north Carolina mountains where you will find a blend of history, nature and convenience. Located just twelve miles from the epicurean center of Asheville, the Carolina Jewel rest on a beautiful green meadow surrounded by a breath-taking babbling brook. In the spring, wild flowers pop their buds though the four acres of trails and in the fall the foliage rivals the brilliant colors of spring. Walk with us through centuries of farming and commerce as you enjoy all that Asheville and Weaverville have to offer.

The property at The Carolina Jewel consists of a beautiful five bedrooms historic Victorian Farmhouse (circa 1845) and a separate two-bedroom cottage with two baths and a full kitchen. The Creekside Crystal Cottage, as we call it, is located on the same property across the creek underneath a canopy of trees.

Each of the suites in the Historic house, listed as the “Brigman-Chambers House” on the National Register of Historic Places, has its’ own unique charm. All bedrooms have private baths and working fireplaces. The oldest portion of the inn that was built in 1845 has rustic roughhewn logs in the great room with its fireplace made of rocks pulled from the fields outside. Adjacent to the great room is the fully stocked modern kitchen and laundry room for your use. In 1880 an addition, of the Victorian style, was added to the log cabin to accommodate the growing family of the owners
