The home is beautifully appointed and ideally located. Although, Griffin’s Liar is not on the Biltmore property, the home is close to the entrance. The home has modern touches with pottery, paintings, lamps and furnishings that fit nicely with the artistic flavor of Asheville. Robert, the host, was very helpful and easy to reach, if we had any questions. We had a wonderful visitl!

Griffin’s Lair was a great location for anyone visiting the Biltmore. The neighbors surrounding the location were very friendly and we loved walking to different locations for dining and shopping. It was very clean and we had everything we needed for our short trip. I would definitely stay again. The Biltmore and Biltmore Village have such a rich history and we loved being a part of it!

We enjoyed the location and privacy of Griffin’s Lair.The place was comfortable and worked well for us during our stay.I totally missed that it was on a second story from the description. I was recently out of an orthopedic boot and the stairs were a challenge for me.
