Our Story

Mélange Manor is a 1920s mansion in the heart of Hendersonville, North Carolina. Designed in 1919 by architect Earl Stillwell, the home still features many of its original details—crystal chandelier lighting, antique mirrors, Art Deco touches—and has long been known for its blend of old-world character and gentle charm.

For years, it operated as the Mélange Bed and Breakfast, a boutique hotel that welcomed travelers with its eclectic style and peaceful setting. In 2021, the property was purchased by Jason and Shelby Bundy, eventually becoming their private residence. While no longer an inn, the new stewards still see it as a place meant for gathering.

Today, Mélange Manor opens its doors for intimate retreats and small gatherings: writing weekends, seasonal celebrations, and guided journeys into the stories and landscapes of Appalachia. With a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces—from vine-covered courtyards to the Mediterranean patio—it's a setting made for deep work, good company, and long evenings around the table.

We care deeply for this house and its history, and we're honored to open its doors to others who are writing stories of their own.

In magic,
