INN POLICIES
Pet-Friendly Bed and Breakfast, Asheville NCA note from Billy:
“Reynolds Mansion is our home. Mike and I do not limit ourselves to just a certain part of the house nor do we expect you to stay in your room, either. We want you to enjoy the Mansion as if it were a home away from home, both for you and your guests.
It is a place where you will not see a lot of signs or reminders of what you can and cannot do. We want you to enjoy yourself, to touch and to experience what the house has to offer. But at the same time, we realize that the house is historical, and out of respect for its age, we strive to maintain the integrity of the house and ask the same of all those who stay here.
Although it does not have the luxury of a Marriot or Hilton, the mansion offers a chance to step back into a time when southern hospitality was an art form and gentility was a part of good breeding.
Written below are the only polices we have and that you will see as a guest of Reynolds Mansion. All we ask is that you–just as we do–show respect for a home that has survived a civil war, poverty and decline, horrible neglect and two major restorations, while still standing tall and proud for the next generations to enjoy.”
