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.

What a special place! The host and hostess go out of their way to pamper guests. They prepare a fabulous four course breakfast every day in a gorgeous setting. Beautifully maintained mansion and the carriage house rooms come with romantic fireplaces and they allow well behaved dogs! Could not ask for better. Paul takes the time to find out what you are interested in seeing and makes recommendations. We will be back!

This BnB is worth every penny. it is run by owners, Paul a (food an beverage expert plus seasoned chef) and Mirlin (she is a seasoned travel industry SME). The building (completed in 1846-47) is sturdy and does not show it's age as it has been restored by the owners. The period interiors are charming, the rooms vey spacious and yes our bed was very comfy. We did not care about the slow late 40's music that plays in the background. upon pointing this to Paul he promptly changed it to a more lively music. the four course breakfast is outstanding and was customised to a vegetarian diet, included a smoothie, fruit plate, one warm main course and a warm home made dessert. All of this was artfully served in a stately dining room served in china that was different everyday during our 3 stay. Please check with owners on minimum stay requirements (our itinerary for Ashville met the the 2 day minimum stay), pet policy. Please inform the owners if you will have a child staying here (the BnB may not be the ideal stay for young ones). Service was professional warm and friendly. the garden had a hammock to laze around in an dthe verandas had ample sitting. will I stay here again, yes if I am in the area.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Reynolds Mansion during our recent visit in Asheville, North Carolina. Paul Manshon, the proprietor of the property, has an exquisite eye for detail and perfection. After greeting us warmly as a southern gentleman upon our arrival with glasses of cool water and fresh lemon presented on a silver tray, he warmly guided us on a tour of his home, our impeccable accommodations, and the lush surrounding grounds.
As an international executive chef, Paul’s four course breakfasts, assisted by Jim, were always a culinary delight, prepared fresh every morning... the best we have ever experienced... not to mention the extra drizzle of honey from Jim‘s beehives.
We would highly recommend the Reynolds Mansion, as Paul and his staff went above and beyond our expectations in quality and service. We are grateful to Paul and his wife, Mirlin, for their warm hospitality and conversation. We look forward to our next stay with them.

I must have stayed at a different place than the rest of you. The Reynold’s Mansion’s grounds are unkempt, the grass in the walking areas are ankle-high, and there are no gardens or even landscaping that exists. The buildings and porches are missing half their paint and the paint that is left is peeling right off. The Blue Hydrangea Room that I stayed in had holes in the wood flooring. The breakfast was average and much better could be had in finer establishments such as the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, which listed at the same price I paid for the Reynold’s Mansion. And the only thing Southern that you will find about the hospitality here is that the innkeeper is from South Africa. I also didn’t find Paul, the innkeeper, to be a particularly warm or inviting host. Generally, a big let down for $350/night.

Dear Steve, We're not opposed to criticism, suggestions or even negative comments when they are warranted. They help us to try to do better. When comments are malicious and unfair or dishonest, as is the case here, then we have no choice but to try and set the record straight. We're disappointed to hear that your stay with us was not what you were expecting. As I've said in my response to your Google review, we're not in the business of going out of our way to disappoint our guests and I hope that prospective guests read our reviews on Tripadvisor, Google and elsewhere and then judge for themselves what our standards of service are. Further to your comments about our rates and breakfast: As I let you know during our telephone call before you made your reservation, we've just reset our rates to pre-pandemic levels. The $350 rate you mention included the pet fees for your two dogs. As we discussed, our 4 course breakfast takes about an hour to get through. It is served at 9am and usually ends at 10am. You did not experience our "average" breakfast at all though because you elected to remain with your dogs, saying that you didn't want to leave them alone in the room. You are correct in saying that we would not accommodate your request to serve your wife and our other guests breakfast between 9am-10am and then have a special breakfast seating for you between 10am-11am. Based on your wife's compliments at the table and the fact that her plates came back empty, I doubt she didn't enjoy our breakfast. However, I encourage prospective guests to read comments about our breakfast on Tripadvisor, Google and elsewhere and then decide for themselves about whether to stay with us. With reference to peeling paint - we certainly have peeling paint in some areas. In other areas, such as the south side of the carriage house staircase, we have removed the paint in preparation for a fresh coat. Regarding holes in the wooden floor of the Blue Hydrangea room - I'll rate this one a "... pants on fire!" Last, but certainly not least, hospitality is our chosen profession and we take it seriously because it is how we earn our living. At times we hear comments that are without merit and we take them on the chin - all in the spirit of hospitality and knowing full well that the ratings, whether warranted or not, may affect our livelihood. What we never do though, is roll over when guests try to bully or bulldoze us. Respectfully, Paul Manshon The Reynolds Mansion

The Reynolds Mansion is a lovely old home set in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the upper balcony and strolling through the garden. The mansion is well decorated with antiques and rooms are very quiet, clean and comfortable. Our hosts were very warm and welcoming and prepared delicious breakfasts that were varied and creatively presented. Highly recommend, look forward to returning!

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 recently visited Asheville, NC and stayed the weekend at The Reynolds Mansion. We were greeted at the door by the owner with refreshing lemon water when we arrived., which was a nice surprise. After checking in, we were given an overview of the home and our room and amenities. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. For safety, they do require masks and social distancing is encouraged while inside communal areas. Masks are provided, should you forget yours. There are wonderful views of the mountains. We enjoyed sitting on the large porches and relaxing during our visit. It is located about 10 minutes to downtown Asheville. So very convenient to shops and restaurants. The breakfast in the mornings is fantastic and beautifully presented. The owner and staff are very welcoming and helpful. There are apartments and businesses that have developed near the Mansion.
You won't see the home until you go on the private drive to the house. The grounds surrounding the home are separated from the developed areas by beautiful landscaping and plenty of trees. We found the room rates to be very reasonable and we would definitely recommend a stay if you are visiting the area. We will be back!

Our first visit to Asheville was made all the sweeter by Paul and Mirlin at The Reynolds Mansion. Paul was incredibly accommodating and helpful prior to our arrival; I asked if he had a certain fruit juice (very important for me and I was prepared to bring my own) and he replied that he would have it for me during our stay.

Upon arrival Paul greeted us with a cold drink and lots of tips of where to go and what to see. We stayed two nights in the Claudette room and found it very comfortable and quiet. We loved having the upstairs porch to use.

Paul’s talent in the kitchen should not go unmentioned. Four-course Breakfasts were eagerly anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed! We found meeting other guests at the breakfast table a lovely aspect to our visit.

We would not hesitate to stay at The Reynolds mansion again when we’re next in Asheville.

We did not care for the Reynolds mansion, the bathroom is so small that it was virtually impossible to move around in.
The other thing that we did not like was the room was extremely dark burned out light bulbs a lot of frayed wiring on the lights, scared us.
Breakfast was okay the problem was they start breakfast at 9:00 and end at 10:00 it's a four-course breakfast, that being said if you want to get an early start on sightseeing you're out of luck.
I would not stay here again

All the rooms have stairs. The ones outside leading into the mansion itself have no handrails. If you have trouble with stairs, look elsewhere.

You can bike downtown, but the roads are not exactly biker friendly, from what I remember. One of the guests did bike downtown and seem fine with it, but I would not have been comfortable.
