A FEW UPDATES
AND CHANGES
HURRICANE HELENE UPDATES:
We are in our post-Helene era. Road is clear from Asheville/Fairview. Our adorable, cozy, and clean rooms are ready for you and your pup! The fenced-in park is ready for fun, and our enchanted forest offers a loop for leashed walks and relaxation. Pond is perfect most days but sometimes needs a few days to recover after a heavy rain. Road is still technically closed between 3B’s Chimney Rock/Lake Lure.
2026 SEASON UPDATES:
We are happy to announce that Pebbles’ Place (the spacious unit above the office) is now listed and ready for reservations!
Coffee and Pastries will be served in cafe on Saturday and Sunday mornings only. Bam's Bungalow, Herschel's Suite and Pebbles' Place will be stocked with local eggs and other breakfast offerings for each stay!! Other rooms will be stocked with lite snacks and ALL rooms are supplied with coffee, coffee pot/or Keurig. We are happy to recommend a close breakfast spot that is open during the week. We apologize if anyone finds this inconvenient. As many of our returning guests know, when we took over the property we found out we did not have the proper licensing to cook breakfast. We had to shift to continental style and we really tried to make it work. With rising costs of prepared food, the time and gas spent sourcing local goods, wasted food during the week AND NOT wanting to raise our nightly rates (in fact, we lowered the weekday rate of rooms not stocked with breakfast!), this is our solution.
We found most people take their dogs everywhere, travel with their crates (we also have a couple sizes here for use) or feel comfortable enough to leave dogs in the room with trust they won’t destroy anything or panic. IF you are planning an activity and know that your dog will need to be left alone and are nervous about that, we can happily recommend a dog sitter to come for a visit OR a trusted daycare facility that is down the road. Please send an email to 3bsinn@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to assist with your plans. *Kennels in dog park no longer available.
GROUP DISCOUNTS: If you’d like to meet up with your dog loving friends, we offer a discount on 4 or more rentals. Email us for options!
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 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.
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 an inn, 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.
