The Greystone Inn

Lakeside Elegance Meets Music-Lover Comfort

Modern southern charm meets lakefront tranquility at The Greystone Inn, a luxurious 4-star retreat nestled on the shores of Lake Toxaway. With its elegant design, warm hospitality, and peaceful mountain setting, it’s the perfect base for concert-goers looking to balance big nights out with quiet mornings in. Just under 40 miles from Asheville Regional Airport, it’s a scenic drive away from the region’s best live music experiences.

Guests can unwind in the shared lounge, sip cocktails on the outdoor terrace, or enjoy upscale dining without ever leaving the property. Whether you're coming for a major concert weekend or a quiet escape with a show thrown in, this inn blends refined comfort with convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

After a high-energy show, returning to the calm of Lake Toxaway is a dream. While not directly in downtown Asheville, the peaceful location offers a true escape from crowds and noise—ideal for those who want to recharge in style. With a 24-hour front desk and room service, late-night arrivals are hassle-free. It’s also a great pick for road-trippers catching multiple gigs between Asheville and the Blue Ridge region.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends planning a concert-cation with a side of outdoor adventure
• Solo travelers seeking a memorable artist and a peaceful stay
• Couples turning a concert night into a romantic getaway
• Fans needing recovery space after a loud, late show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want upscale vibes at fair value

Food and Drink Options

Enjoy elegant, on-site dining at the hotel’s restaurant and bar, with options that suit both early birds and late-night snackers. While there’s no 24/7 kitchen, the room service and cocktail menus are available late, and local eateries are just a short drive away. The hotel offers breakfast—perfect after a night of dancing or driving.

Nightlife Options

If you’re not quite ready to end the night, the hotel bar is a cozy spot for a nightcap with lake views and craft cocktails. While the area is more about nature than neon, nearby towns like Cashiers and Brevard offer small-town bars and breweries within driving distance. This is a better pick for those who prefer chill evenings over club crawling.

What People Say

Guests rave about the serene setting, exceptional service, and cozy-luxury atmosphere. Many highlight the picturesque lake views and the relaxing ambiance as major perks—especially after a busy day or night out. Travelers also appreciate the welcoming staff and the overall sense of escape from city life.

Areas for Improvement

The location is a bit remote, so plan ahead for rideshares or designated drivers if you’re hitting up a venue in Asheville. Also, music lovers looking for nightlife right outside the door may miss the buzz of a big city. But if peace and privacy are part of your post-concert plan, you’ll love it here.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a scenic, restful retreat after the show, The Greystone Inn delivers lakeside luxury with a warm, personal touch.
