GET TO KNOW YOUR HOSTS HERE AT 3 B'S INN
We’re passionate about dogs and thrilled that you are too! At 3 B’s Inn, we’re a one-of-a-kind, dog-centered destination nestled near the top of Hickory Nut Gorge in Gerton, NC. With eight rooms and suites in the main inn, one private cottage, and an upcoming apartment-style suite set to open in Spring 2025, we’re all about offering an environment that lets you unwind, slow down, and create beautiful memories with your pup. Each of our rooms is not only dog-friendly but fully designed to make you and your furry friend feel right at home, complete with private entrances, private baths, and ample space for play and relaxation.
Located just a short drive from Asheville, you’ll have easy access to all the pet-friendly spots in town, from restaurants and breweries to scenic trails. On-site, enjoy our fenced play area, moss-covered enchanted forest, and a refreshing pond perfect for doggy paddles. Whether your stay is action-packed or completely laid-back, we’re here to make it all unforgettable.
OUR MISSION and vision
Our mission at 3 B’s Inn is to create an unforgettable, dog-centric experience that fosters genuine connection and relaxation for dogs and their people. We’re here to provide a space where you don’t have to worry about breed restrictions, extra fees, or whether your dog is truly welcome. We believe in creating a place where dogs are celebrated as family, not just as “guests.”
Our vision is to become the go-to destination for dog-loving travelers looking for an escape that feels like home. We’re passionate about redefining what it means to travel with pets, and we’re dedicated to building a community where friendships are formed, memories are made, and tails are always wagging.
A VISION FOR DOG LOVERS, BUILT BY DOG LOVERS
Founded by fellow dog parents who know the joys (and challenges) of traveling with pets, 3 B’s Inn was born out of a desire to create a true haven for dog lovers. We understand the struggle of searching for pet-friendly accommodations that truly welcome dogs— especially big dogs, multiple dogs, or pups with particular quirks. After countless trips spent hunting for places that genuinely made us and our dogs feel at home, we decided to build that place ourselves.
So here we are, a pet-exclusive, dog-first inn where every guest is guaranteed to feel valued, comfortable, and free to be themselves— furry or not. We’re not just a bed and breakfast, we’re a community for like-minded travelers who believe that dogs make every experience better.
COMFORT
From cozy beds to spacious grounds, we’re here to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Dogs are free to be dogs, and humans are free to relax, knowing every need is anticipated.
MEET THE OWNERS
We’re Brandon and Mackenzie, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome you to 3 B’s Inn! After 15 years of running a swimming pool business in the steamy heat of Florida, we were ready for a change—and let’s just say fate had a hand in bringing us here. One day, Mackenzie stumbled across a listing for a “dog-friendly business for sale in WNC” while daydreaming about cooler weather for our 13.5-year-old bulldog (and any future bulldogs!) and a life far from hurricane season. With one quick text to Brandon—who immediately replied, “Call them NOW!”—we had the wheels turning (or should we say, tails wagging). Fast forward, and here we are, settled into beautiful Gerton, NC, with our dreams unpacked and a new adventure unfolding!
Brandon’s a passionate Georgia Bulldawg fan who’ll greet you with a big smile, a joke, and all the charm. He’s in his element by the campfire and is thrilled by any wildlife sightings our game cameras pick up (yes, critters are our friends here!). Mackenzie’s named most of them already. She’s a dedicated dog mom whose love for pets and people led her straight down this path. She lights up with all the flowers, hummingbirds, and the enchanted forest on our property (where she’s convinced fairies and unicorns dwell!). We miss our three bulldogs in spirit every day, but with our two newly adopted wild pups— a hound and a bulldog— our hearts are fuller than ever.
A Cozy Home Base For Your Pup While You Explore
Our property features three cozy, climate-controlled kennel cabins, each nestled in a quiet spot with plenty of fresh air and space for your pups to relax while you’re out exploring. These cabins are designed to be a comfortable home base for your dog during short periods, with easy access for you to check in anytime!
Spacious, private runs
Each private 4x8 kennel run offers ample space, a raised bed for comfort, fresh water, and soothing music to create a calm, welcoming environment. These runs are large enough to accommodate multiple dogs, giving your pups plenty of room to stretch out and settle in.
A Peek Inside
Inside our climate-controlled kennel buildings, your dogs will enjoy a peaceful atmosphere with comforting classical music and soft lighting. We’ve designed every detail to make sure your pup feels relaxed and secure, even when you’re off on an adventure.
