PONDER COVE is our private 91 acre piece of  paradise.We have a great location, 30 minutes north of Asheville, North Carolina, outside of Mars Hill in Madison County.

Checked out a lot of B and B's and heard a lot of yada yada yada?  Well, let me cut to the chase and give you my yada yada yada.We offer total seclusion, luxury accommodations, private baths, organic linens, fireplaces, double whirlpool tubs and gourmet breakfasts in 3 suites or if you prefer the privacy of your own cabin check out our cute as a button restored farmhouse...the Bungalow. Bottom line... we want you to be comfortable, have a good time and not be afraid to put your feet up.

Being in the Blue Ridge Mountains we are close to Asheville  where you will find the Biltmore Estate fine restaurants, galleries and shops. We are adjacent to the Yancey County line giving you close proximity to Burnsville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mt. Mitchell and the Penland School of Craft.
