Amenities

Mélange is a blend of American and European architecture styles in a charming home from 1920 that is recorded in the National Register of Historic Places. Eleven foot ceilings, ornate mirrors, antique lamps, marble fireplaces and oriental carpets complement an eclectic house decor. Secluded behind towering hemlock hedges and century old trees, the house and its classic gardens make for unparalleled intimacy while inspiring light hearted nostalgia. The grand house interior and the beautifully landscaped exterior around fountains are exceedingly romantic settings for weddings and receptions.

A stay at Mélange is a culinary experience. Our gourmet breakfast which includes ever varying fresh fruit combinations, creative egg dishes and delicious coffee cakes is served on formally with candlelight in the greenhouse room. One of our niche offerings is the candlelight dinner served in private with antique bone china service, exquisite crystalware and fine linens. With advance notice, some special dietary requirements may be catered to.We are ecologically conscientious and continue receiving one of the highest health department sanitation grades of the area.

Accommodations include four elegantly dressed rooms and a full floor suite.There are no fixed times for the breakfast nor for a social gathering. A glass of complementary wine or a fine dessert with strong coffee are available anytime. Of course , you may also find it therapautic to smell the roses in the season or feed the fish in the pond or pet the very friendly cats. We want your Mélange experience so pleasant that you will want to come again and again to savor unforgettable impressions.

Conveniently located, Mélange is just a short 20-min walk to historical Main Street Hendersonville with its antique shops and boutiques, specialty restaurants and Apple Festival and Arts and Crafts Fairs. Colorful old dames in the famous Curb Market are a must see for old-fashioned hospitality and mountain heritage gifts. Area attractions like Biltmore Estate, Du Pont State Forest, Blue Ridge Parkway and Chimney Rock Park are within 30 min driving time.
