Susan Shah and John Meyer purchased the inn and adjacent Carriage House in their favorite Asheville neighborhood in January 2020. Susan was born and raised in Asheville. After graduating from Meredith College in Raleigh, she spent the next two decades working in hospitality with her family’s hotel business and commercial real estate and property management. Her passion has been hosting parties for family and friends. She’s happy to be back in the mountains near her family and excited to welcome guests who want to explore her hometown’s beauty and charm.

John spent his first ten years in Northeast Ohio before calling North Carolina his permanent home in 1986. An NC State University graduate, he worked in golf, landscaping and health care, before finding his passion in the kitchen. With a fondness for being in the mountains, John is excited to explore regional culinary traditions and call Asheville home.
