The Reynolds Mansion

The Reynolds Mansion Bed & Breakfast is far superior to any typical B & B. Paul, Mirlin and Team provide more than an outstanding facility located on beautiful grounds, they deliver an immersive experience designed to make you feel welcomed and relaxed. They make every effort to greet you personally upon arrival, sharing the history of the mansion and illuminating you with everything you need to know to enjoy your stay. Attention to detail is of paramount importance; from impeccable standards for appearance, ambiance and cleanliness, to assistance with making fine dining reservations and providing information to help you plan your day. The four course breakfast served each morning is a culinary delight, which helps set the context for the rest of your day. We highly recommend The Reynolds Mansion to anyone visiting Asheville.

Paul and Mirlin are the most gracious and generous hosts. While we did not have an overnight stay, they welcomed us into their home for a special occasion as if we were old friends, although we were just meeting them for the first time. Even during my first phone contact with Paul, he was so hospitable. They are knowledgeable of the house's history and original family lineage, as well as the area. Both the inside and outside of the house are stunning, with extraordinary touches that lead you to feel as if you've stepped back in time. Don't miss an opportunity to spend time in this lovely, inviting home.

This was by far one of the most enjoyable Inns/Bed & Breakfast we have ever stayed in. Paul is a wonderful host. Greets you when you arrive with an ice cold beverage, and gives you a great overview of the property. The 4-course complimentary breakfast was not only delicious but a work of art! Exceptionally clean, well maintained, lots of thought has been given to what guests might like during their stay - fluffy towels, espresso/coffee machine in room, refrigerator - bathrobes for each guest and more! Love it and would highly recommend to others - and will find a way to get back there next year!!

Fantastic retreat in Asheville away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. You’ll take a step back in time yet be close to all Asheville offers. Immaculately clean, quiet and comfortable bedrooms and an amazing breakfast. Breakfast is 4 courses, each presented elegantly with time to linger and enjoy. Paul and Mirlin are terrific and will help make your stay what you want. Their cocktail bar and restaurant recommendations were spot on. Thanks for a great stay.

We were in Asheville for a veterinarian procedure for our rescue puppy. We chose The Reynolds Mansion based on location and reviews. It was a 5-Star experience, perfect in every aspect. Paul and Mirlin, our hosts, were gracious, warm and shared lots of fascinating stories and background. Our breakfast was the best we have ever had, including a world-class "smoothie". Our accommodations felt like home; the fireplace was inviting, furnishings were very comfortable. We've stayed at several B&B's over the last 5 years, The Reynolds Mansion tops them all.

Beautifully maintained historic home in a lovely setting with mountain views - Paul and Mirlin are welcoming and gracious hosts with international experience - the four course breakfast made it feel like we were dining with the Vanderbilts! Definitely recommending to our friends and family.

We were greeted at the door by Paul, who told us the history of the Mansion and inquired about our travels and preferences for our stay. Very informative. Our room was cheery and very well appointed. Breakfast as mentioned was five-star in all aspects, from quality of food, service, and hospitable atmosphere. When we travel again to Asheville, we will definitely stay at the Reynolds Mansion.  

Wonderful location, ancient stately home in the best condition. From the moment we were welcomed by Paul, we felt right at home. The room was very spacious and sleeping in a four poster bed was a totally new experience for us. The breakfast, lovingly prepared by the hosts, tasted delicious. Also the interesting conversations with the hosts and the other guests present were very informative. Thank you Merilin and Paul, we will keep you in best memory!

We wanted a relaxing stay near Ashville. The Reynolds Mansion was the perfect retreat. The owners are such nice and engaging people. They are very knowledgeable about the restaurants and attractions in Asheville. A great source of information and they are willing to share . We had very pleasant conversations with them about the house, the area and many other things. The house and rooms are very charming and comfortable. We stayed in the Linda room. King bed and a recently renovated bathroom with a stand up shower. The sink is just outside the bathroom but out of the way. The bed is king sized. The room is on the second floor. There is a second story porch that we really enjoyed in the mornings and evenings. Great view of the mountains and see the sunset. A nice place to read or just sit and relax. Same for the back porch. After spending our days at various Ashville attractions, we found ourselves relaxing on the back porch, reading, snacking and just relaxing. The rooms have split AC units for comfort. We had a TV in the room that we did not turn on. There is good wifi signal in the room and on the porches. The real star of the show is breakfast!. The owners carefully plan the menu each day so that there is a different experience in dishes and ingredients each day. Breakfast is a four course affair, served at a relaxed pace. A full hour is needed to get through it. It is served at a set time from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Those are set hours. Each course is served separately. All I can say is that the food is incredible. It starts with what might be described as a smooth, followed by a fruit course, then a meat / egg course and finally a sweet or dessert course. The owner did not give us any indication of what would be served each day, nor did we ask. We had four mornings there to enjoy the surprises they prepared and were pleased beyond description. Also included with breakfast was orange juice, coffee and water. All was served on China appropriate to the setting. While the setting appears to be quite formal, the atmosphere is relaxed. The grounds are comfortable. Plenty of trees for shade, flowere and plants of various types. Chairs and a hammock in the back yard as well as several on the porches to sit out. There is a sports bar with pub fare less than a 5 minute walk to get a late light dinner, watch a game or play trivia on Tuesday night. Many restaurants and other places to get necessities are close by. We are looking to return to the area to do a couple of days of hiking and fully intend to stay again to enjoy the charm, breakfasts and good company. Highly recommend!!!!!
