July Newsletter & Calendar of Events
What's Happening Here (at the Inn)Blake House Inn is one of ten Asheville accommodations participating in the AsheCache Geocaching Treasure Hunt (www.ashevilletreasurehunt.com). Go to the AsheCache link to find out more about this program and how you can find hidden treasures in and around Asheville.
June was one of our busiest months since I took over Blake House in January 2006. Thank good ness we had air conditioning installed in the three original bedrooms since it was also one of the hottest months as well. We saw many days with temperatures in the mid- to upper-80's.
The weekend of June 16th and 17th, we had a beautiful wedding here. Brian Blacklow and Sarah Summerlin were married and even with a guest list close to 150, everything went off without a hitch. Below are a couple of photos.
