Amazing property

We loved the Bunn House! It was as if we rented out a boutique hotel. Each suite was well appointed with luxury linens and bath items. The grounds are beautiful. Everything in Downtown Asheville was within a 20 minute walk. We will be back!

Great place

Fantastic house. Location great. Responsiveness to requests great. Would stay there again for sure and plan to. Only FYI to other prospect renters is one of the bedrooms is only accessable from the outside. It's actually a separate suite with kitchenet. Worked perfect for us but others could be surprised by the access limitation.

About the host

Hosted by Ali Landers & RIdgely Hutchin

The Bunn House is a unique lodging experience that offers the luxury of a boutique hotel and the independence of a vacation rental, within walking distance of downtown Asheville. Our invisible service offers you complete control of your arrival, stay and departure. Prior to your arrival your room has been meticulously cleaned, awaiting your arrival. Enter our private, secure, gated entrance and check yourself in with the code that you received via email and text. Our property is set up so you relax independent of other guests making a safe retreat and refuge for your enjoyment.

We seek to support the individual pursuits of guests without imposing schedules or agendas. The hotel sits on over an acre of land, providing the ideal setting for a picnic or romantic outdoor dining. Our location allows for a close connection to vibrant downtown Asheville, while offering a quiet, serene retreat. The entire building and property is 100% non-smoking and non-vaping.

Why they chose this property

The Bunn House was built in 1905 by Albert Bunn, a brick manufacturer and contractor from Birmingham, England, who lived here with his wife, Kittie, and three children. His youngest son, Robert D. Bunn, owner of Bunn Antiques in downtown Asheville, inherited the home from his father, and lived here for many years with his wife, Fannie. When we purchased the house in 2013, much of the original structure was retained, including hardwood floors and some of the small architectural details, in order to feature the home’s rich history. We have contrasted these historic aspects with a focus on refined luxury.

What makes this property unique

From the start of our two year renovation of this beautiful 100 year old building, we wanted to be as thoughtful as possible. Our efforts were rewarded formally when we won an award for Adaptive Reuse from the Asheville Preservation Society. We’ve taken many steps to reduce our carbon footprint and reduce use of single use plastics.
