Sun Porch independent inns

Set in a 1905 landmark house on Cumberland Avenue, this English Tudor-style bed & breakfast trades lobby bustle for the quieter pleasures of an old Asheville home — leaded detail, steep gables, and an enclosed sun porch made for a slow second cup of coffee. Guests have been unusually consistent in their affection: a perfect 5-star average across some 380 reviews. It's a small, singular house, not a property with a portfolio behind it.
