New year, new blog post! As we have been updating things here at the Inn, we set our sights on updating our blog for our inn, Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast Inn.<\/p>\n

With that, it seemed like a natural thing to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about who I am and how I ended up owning this beautiful inn located in Asheville, North Carolina…<\/p>\n

I’m Nick Poulos and owning an Inn has been a long time passion of mine. Fifteen years ago I began a file folder of ideas, articles, and clipping of things I would want in my Inn one day. Meanwhile, my 30 year retail career in Senior Management, continued to develop my skills and financially support my dream.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I lived in Raleigh and Charlotte, NC early in my career and frequently visited Asheville. I think that’s when I fell in love with the beauty of Asheville, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and all there is to do in the area. I knew once I started looking for an Inn, Asheville was the place I wanted to be. The moment I walked into Abbington Green, it felt like home. The historic charm, the modern conveniences, and the close proximity to downtown encompass what I would like in an Inn.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As a Regional Vice President for Williams-Sonoma in the Southeast, my passion for cooking had grown. I enjoy entertaining guests and friends. There is nothing better than conversation and sharing stories while enjoying a delicious breakfast in the morning. How your day begins is important to me.
 <\/div>\n
My education in hospitality, and my Greek heritage, has taught me the importance of making guests feel welcome. I have a sign that hangs outside the front door that reads, “What I love most about my home is who I share it with.” That’s what you will find in Abbington Green Bed and Breakfast Inn.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I hope to see you soon, Nick<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
