If you are looking to visit the Asheville, North Carolina area and want to rent accommodations that capture the best of both worlds: a quiet Nature & Healing Retreat yet only a hop-skip-and-a-jump to enchanting downtown Asheville -- Compassionate Expressions Mountain Inn & Healing Sanctuary has this to offer and much more. Only 30-minutes northwest of Asheville, located in the still largely secluded mountains of Leicester - you will marvel at the quaint historical farmlands of corn and cattle - where at night you can see a full array of brilliantly lit stars!
With undeniably one of the most inspiring mountain views around Asheville, Compassionate Expressions offers a respectively private and low stimulus atmosphere inside and out with two Retreat Houses, two Mountain Inn Rooms, two outdoor whirlpool Hot Tubs by the creek, Sauna and quality personalized Healing and Spa services cradled in the middle of Mother Nature's palm. We also welcome Special Event Rentals: weddings, commitment ceremonies, workshops, outdoor festivals, and other tributes of the heart! Don't take our word for it, even the local natives tell us, "You're nestled in the prettiest cove in the area."
Enjoy 40 private acres with natural wildlife, pastureland, forest, mountain ridge, running creek and wild medicinal foliage. Our drinking water and outdoor Whirlpool Hot Tubs are sourced by natural spring fed well water with a healing unstructured Ph-level of 7.8 - better than any purified bottle water! Hiking trails, organic berry picking, horseback riding and a nationally renowned herb farm are only minutes away. Our quality healing practitioners are committed to giving you personal attention around your health and well-being needs. Our goal is to send you home feeling inspired, renewed and relaxed!
We are a Certified Wildlife Habitat!

Testimonials from our Guests

"Was just thinking about our fantastic and memorable weekend at your place. What an awesome place to reflect, relax and recharge. Thanks, again...we both truly enjoyed the experience. We've been sharing insight with each other about our energy healing sessions. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and your goats probably gained a few pounds...ha! Thanks for the great massage Janell! She is so kind and an excellent massage therapist. Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often... Karen and Debra |
|
"You don't know how much I appreciated being able to stay at Compassionate Expressions this past weekend! I've recently had some health problems related to a ridiculous, high stress job (actually I am working a job that should be for TWO people), and I just couldn't get away from the stress at home. We walked by the stream which reminded me of the place where I grew up. We fed and played with the goats. We walked out through that magnificent field. We looked up at the stars. I've never had a more restful stay anywhere, and I am very thankful and appreciative of you!" Jenny |
|
"It was lovely to
spend part of my vacation at Compassionate Expressions at your wonderfully
tranquil Inn. It is what I needed to spur me on to taking better care of
me. I have recommended you to my friends and family as a destination where
you can just "be", free of the noise that enters our lives daily. It was a
wonderful experience and so many people can benefit from the location and the
healing you do." Janet C.
|
|
"This is truly a place
of compassion, strength and empowerment. I am learning to take back my health in
the grace of Reva's healing talents and gifts."
Jenny E., Wilkesboro, NC |

"Thank you for creating this perfect Sanctuary for spiritual renewal. We were able to be healed and renewed! We have rediscovered ourselves and our original purpose here. May the peace of God continue to be with you always! " MB & FW, Charlotte, NC |
|
"Thank you for such a beautiful & calming place. For city slickers like us, the thought of no distracting technology was a bit frightening at first but we actually enjoyed just spending time in each other's company. Time flew as we sat by the enchanting creek talking for hours. You have helped us reconnect and remember the reasons we fell in love in the first place! " J&J Rodriguez |
|
"Your sanctuary is so peaceful and relaxing. You thought of everything from board games to everything you need to build a great fire in the woodstove. The Top-of the Line (Himalayan) Hot Tub was the Best ! It was so nice to hike up the ridge away from everything and having the woods to ourselves. Thank you for providing such a great place! Connie & Janice |
|
"This has been a wonderful retreat in the perfect location and with the best hosts! It's hard to fully state how perfect my time actually was at Compassionate Expressions .... my days were wonderfully relaxing. Just what I had hoped for on my first retreat ever. I could easily have stayed on much longer. If only responsibilities didn't come a calling! When I think of you both (Reva and Lenora) I just smile and feel so lucky to have met you and had time to sit with you and chat awhile. Traveling alone was no problem because you and your setting made me feel safe, nurtured and cared for. That is not always easy to find. Thanks so much. I hope our paths cross again. Nancy from Michigan |
|
" You have an amazing place that is absolutely beautiful and so very relaxing. Love the Spa services, scenery, accommodations, quiet - everything! It was the best vacation I have had in my life. Thank you for all that you do. I will definitely be back." L. Murray |
