It was a last minute stop on a long road trip and we felt lucky that they had a room for us. The Lodge is unpretentious but our room was very spacious and clean with updated bathroom, cozy linens and good wifi. It's a convenient distance to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Kim and Rich were gracious hosts. Rich made us yummy breakfasts and both were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their community, restaurants and things to do. We would not hesitate to go back.

My in-laws stayed in the Carolina Cottage and really enjoyed their room as well. There's actually 2 bedrooms in the cottage, which would be great for a family.

Oh my goodness! Where do we began! We stayed in the Vanderbilt room! The room is beautiful!

Amazing and very good Chef Ted came out and checked on us made sure everything was up to our standards we felt like VIPs there that's how they treat you. Mathilda and Jodi were amazing and so sweet! And anything we needed they made sure we had it. My hubby loved it the mountain views the Relaxation we barely wanted to even leave to go out for dinner! Man if they did Dinner that would be superb! We also got a chance to mingle with the other guests and made new friends as well. If you want 5 star service! Go no further than the Biltmore Village Inn! We promise you won't be sorry. Best place hands down! Sincerely, Alicia and Brian Norman

The only change I would possibly recommend is adding a fan to the bathroom but that's just my preference. Thanks again for the great stay. Kori and Phillip rock!

House keeping is great and water pressure is magic. The rooftop breakfast is my favorite and the espresso is perfect! The hotel smells amazing too! Really a great time. Luminosa was an AMAZING experience. The best affogato I've ever had. I could talk for hours about it. Now, the amenities are a bit lacking. No microwave..... anywhere. Can't heat up left overs. Wimpy drink cooler down stairs. No room service. Please put utensils in the ice rooms?? WiFi barely worked the whole time. They only serve pizzas upstairs in the evening, otherwise you have to make a super in advance reservation for the restaurant or go out. I wanted a lotion candle from the hotel that smelled like the lobby and she told me it was $28, but charged $38. There was also a hefty $450 incidentals charge that is supposed to go back on our card, but still, on top of the booking, maybe I missed it but I didn't see any warning of that. It's a nice hotel but that's insane. Maybe I'm being picky. I'd return though because all of the pros are SUPER PROS!

I should also mention that the house is very close to downtown and the Biltmore. Thank you for a great stay!

Every place we've rented has been nice but never great enough to get us to come back for a repeat visit. Those days of bouncing around are over! Now that we've experience the Chestnut Street Inn and Emilie & Arturo's hospitality, we will never stay anywhere else. The Inn is perfectly located, just a short walk and even shorter drive/uber to downtown. The room we stayed in was adorable and super comfy. We loved the furnishings, soft sheets and towels on the bed, etc. But, the in-room gas fireplace was by far my favorite amenity -- I found myself not even wanting to venture out but rather sit in the room warming my feet by the fire. (Don't worry though, we went out!) Throughout our stay, it was fun to discover all the hidden treats in the common areas. There were homemade cookies and chocolate in every nook and cranny of the place! Breakfast was amazing and prepared fresh each morning. Lots of helpful info way of pamphlets and brochures are all over the Inn but if you need any advice, I'd encourage you to just chat with Emilie. She had lots of great suggestions on where to go and what to do and seemed to genuinely love the area. We're looking forward to our next visit!

What we liked! The…read moreproperty was beautiful and the historic preservation work on the 1905 Bunn house was awesome! They managed to keep the old school brick elegance, while throwing in a few modern amenities. The top observation deck presented a grand view of the city, mountains and surrounding properties. The in-room locally made goodies (craft beer, wine, snacks, coffee, ice cream) filled in between cravings, and it was nice to take a bevvy to the observation deck, or while strolling to the outside fire pit. The Nespresso machine and Aerolatté Milk Frother was a nice touch. And our favorite, the steam shower. What a nice luxury to have after a day of sightseeing, or simply to de-stress the body/mind. What we didn't like!! We booked the first floor suite A, which has an additional sitting room and kitchen appliances. Although we loved the space, the first floor was very noisy. The geo-thermal heating/cooling system actually vibrated the bed when it switched on (which was often), and the outside air condensers were loud. That, coupled with a very annoying white noise system above the bed, made for a very restless night of sleep. The speaker for the white noise was located above the bed, and while you could control the volume, you could not completely switch it off. The white noise sounded like forced air through a clogged air conditioner return, and not a soft ocean wave. And although the towel heater was a good idea, it was confusing to operate. Also, upon arrival, the room had an overbearing fragrance, and although it dissipated by the third day, it really distracted from a relaxing experience (especially coupled with the noise). The GM indicated they didn't use any cleaning fragrances, but all the guests I had enter the room commented on the odor. And finally, the property does not have any onsite manager (all issues are communicated thru text or calling), so any issues are not immediately addressed. For example, we couldn't light the fire pit since the fire starter was not working, and none of the guests had any matches or lighter. The in room safe was on the fritz (apparently low batteries), and the Bunn House directory suggested not to leave any valuables in the room, so I had to lug valuables around. Just be aware, all on-site satisfaction is remotely communicated, and may not be corrected immediately. However, the text response is very quick and prompt upon letting the GM know of any issues. Let me be clear. The Bunn House is a first rate property, unfortunately our visit was not as restful as we had hoped.

A beautiful concept for a hotel. Imagine staying in a boutique hotel, small enough for only five…read morerooms and with an exquisite level of taste. Now imagine that you will never see any service staff on site. No in-person check-in, no maid service that you are likely ever to see. That's the concept of Bunn House, and it's amazing. You're simply given entry codes in advance, and the last four digits of your mobile number are the key to your room. Once you're inside, I hope you will be as impressed as we were with the highly comfortable but highly distinguished way in which the hotel has been crafted. Exposed brick walls are complemented by Frette linens, a white noise dial, sauna shower, L'Occitane en Provence toiletries, and artisanal, local granola for your in-room breakfast. If you have a romantic getaway coming up, or simply want to splurge on yourself when visiting Asheville, look no further. Oh, and it's only a 5-minute Uber ride (or 20-minute walk) from the downtown restaurants & sights.

We booked the Fitzgerald, but after seeing the amazing bathroom in the Zelda, we switched. The Zelda is the only room on the top floor, so the privacy is nice. The tub and steam shower were amazing. They had a vase with flowers and a handwritten card for our anniversary. Willy and Shawnie are the most hospitable hosts and truly want you to enjoy your stay. We enjoyed latte macchiatos from their fancy coffee machines and a variety of delicious cookies that Shawnie bakes daily. We loved the Saturday evening bluegrass from 6-7. Breakfast each morning was delicious. We have stayed at a handful of B&Bs, and this was the friendliest and most comfortable one so far. We will be returning.

The breakfasts that we were served were some of the best food we have ever eaten. Each meal had a fruit bowl that was an ever changing color each day. Main course was protein rich and of course there was a sweet ending. The poached egg creation that we had on the last morning was easily the BEST egg dish I have ever had (and we do a lot of traveling). I cannot leave out their Cadillac of all coffee machines. Expresso, cappuccino, latte.........all at the press of a button. Unlimited homemade cookies are always available as well as soft drinks and bottled water. Bluegrass on the lawn on Sat evening. Their spacious front porch is quite a retreat. Everyone enjoyed the weekend. We cannot thank Willy and Shawnee enough. God Bless you both. Keep doing what you love.
