"Applewood Manor, a New England-style Colonial Revival bed-and-breakfast in Asheville, North Carolina, offers intimate, immersive experiences, including cycling, business leadership, and guest chef events. The review highlights a weekend event featuring Chef Mads Refslund, cofounder of Noma, who involves guests in a farm-to-table process. Guests participate in activities like shopping at local farmers markets, foraging, and cooking meals together. The property features luxurious accommodations with amenities like a Jacuzzi tub, retro Smeg mini fridge, and king-size Duxiana bed. The review praises the communal dining experiences, the charm of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Southern hospitality of the owners, Stephen and Robin Collins." - Travel + Leisure Editors
