Bunn House

Top choice in Asheville


The six rooms and suites in this meticulously restored 1905 home, in a residential neighborhood half a mile north of downtown, are awash with exposed brick and dark hardwoods. The small rooftop terrace boasts Blue Ridge vistas, while the heated bathroom floors and subway-tiled steam showers are glorious on chilly mountain mornings.

There’s no on-site reception – it's like having your own amazing studio apartment. Age 21 and over only.
