The fantastic location adds to the appeal of this luxurious and comforting space. The Loft at 35 Patton and the Loft at 51 College are both owned by Asheville artist Eli Corbin, and are full of her colorful paintings. These 2 lofts were featured on the 2008 Asheville Museum Loft and Art tour.
The loft is located in one of Asheville’s historic buildings. It features 2000 square feet with a split level living room, spacious kitchen, open family room, and two bedrooms - each with private baths.

Beautifully appointed, this loft includes modern furnishings paired with antiques, original art, and various imported one-of-a-kind pieces. Many of the art and design items are available for purchase.
The Loft at 35 Patton and The Loft at 51 College make up the second floor and are joined by a private/secure hallway. This is a great arrangement for a large group or family wishing to stay together.
To make your stay even more enjoyable, treat yourself to a massage at Spa Theology, just 2 doors down...and as a bonus, our guests receive a discount. Also, you will be directly across the street from Tops For Shoes - a well known shoe store that has a huge selection.
Stay at the loft and experience the "heartbeat" of downtown Asheville.

Map & Owner's Profile
Stunning & Spacioius 2 BR/2 BA Loft in Downtown Asheville
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Asheville
I love the vibrancy of downtown Asheville. It is small enough to walk to everything, yet large enough to have many choices regarding restaurants, clubs, galleries and shopping. The previous owners of both lofts bought the 2nd floor and totally renovated both units. I purchased the larger loft first and then the smaller. I researched the market for a while before buying, but really liked the look, location and the fact that the parking deck is right across the street from the building.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
I love staying at the loft because it is so centrally located. When you walk out the door you are within walking distance to everything downtown. I've parked in the deck for Bele Chere on Friday and not returned until Sunday. It is a great place to have friends over for drinks and then go out dancing, or to a movie at The Fine Arts, or catch a play at ACT, etc. It is also a great place to escape for some down time.
Owner's Map of Asheville
I am originally from northern Florida, but moved to the mountains in 1979. I have lived in Asheville since 1995, after moving here to enroll my young children in school. There have been many changes since then, but Asheville just keeps getting better. When I first moved to Asheville I had a painting studio/gallery downtown and knew that I would want to someday own a loft here.
Although I no longer have a studio downtown, I do still paint and have many of my paintings on display in both lofts. I love to travel, dance, exercise, hike and check out new things happening in and around Asheville.

Exceeded All Expectations

The condo exceeding all of our expectations. It was spotless, beautiful, roomy and had all (or more) of the amenities of home. When we were driving home, we all agreed that our favorite thing about our trip to Asheville was where we stayed. When we left, we wished that we had stayed much longer! The location was superb and most convenient. At the same time, we couldn't believe how quiet it was. The beds were luxuriously comfortable. It's a great value for the money. We would recommend with no hesitation! It was almost better than being at home. We ate breakfast every morning at the Green Sage restaurant, a mere 1.5 blocks away which was scrumptious. If we had stayed longer, we would have cooked at the condo though as the kitchen was better equipped than most homes and it was beautiful. Don't miss out on the French Broad Chocolate Cafe which is less than a block away. To sum up, we won't stay anywhere else when we return to Asheville!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
By far the best place downtown Asheville for relaxing and exploring town

The loft at 35 Patton is even better than the pictures. Once you follow instructions on getting the keys and getting in, you will be blown away by the details of this expansive loft. Just be sure to get off the elevator on the right floor, or you will be standing in front of some shrimp scampi in the Lobster Trap! This is truly a unique experience, being in such an incredible downtown location only 2 blocks from Pack Square. The kitchen is amazing, as well as the sunken living room space. Both bedrooms are great sizes, with huge bathrooms. On the weekend, we parked the entire time at the Asheville Savings Bank lot for $3 per day. The lot is visible from the large windows over the living room. If you want a great location as "home base" to explore all of the great restaurants, bars, breweries, galleries and shops this is the place. We will definitely stay here again, hopefully very soon.

I couldn’t believe how beautiful this place was when I walked in the front door. The loft seriously took my breath away. I had seen the pictures online, but they just didn’t capture the overall effect of the loft, especially how spacious it felt. The rooms were all decorated with beautiful artwork by the owner and lavish decorations. The loft was very clean and smelled wonderful the whole time we were there. The location is amazing. It is right in the heart of downtown Asheville. It was great for us to stop there in-between shows at Moog Fest. The loft was very secure. You had to go through 3 steps to get inside. My husband & I would definitely stay here again. You truly do get what you pay for with this place. Also, the owner was really great to work with.

Many rentals are furnished with leftovers from previous guests or the owner's home. It is clear from the moment you walk in that is not the case here. From the coffee grinder, to the fact that most appliances have their instructions, no detail is too small. The walls are decorated with original art, mostly by the owners. That, plus the comfortable, modern furniture make this place comfortable, as well as beautiful. The pictures are very accurate, except that they don't convey how large the place is. We used to stay in bed and breakfasts, but found ourselves driving into the downtown two-three times daily. Now we park are car and walk to almost everything. A terrific restaurant, The Lobster Trap, is located in the building. Table, one of Asheville's best, is across the street. You are half a block away from Pritchard Park, where you can spend hours people watching. My recommendation is after you've tried a B&B, a downtown loft is the way to go. If you're going to rent a loft for a short term stay, then they don't get any better than this one.

Surpisingly spacious, beautifully appointed, centrally located

Each detail is attended to, from extra, thick towels to every kitchen kitchen implement you can imagine. You don't need to bring anything - except clothes. The photos speak for themselves; the loft is gorgeous and immaculate. I'd love to live there! Having the spa right downstairs was a bonus, as well as the discount that's offered to Eli's renters. Everything is within walking distance. Some of my favorites: restaurants Curate, Limone and, for gluten-free, Posana. French Broad Chocolates is not to be missed, as well as Tops for Shoes, featuring every variety of "healthy" shoes for walking and athletics. I recommend the loft without reservations.

Wonderful Downtown Condo

What a wonderful "girl's get-away"! This loft was everything we hoped for, and more. Beautiful, spacious, spotless, filled with interesting artwork, and located right in the heart of downtown and convenient to everything. Loved walking around Asheville, and also enjoyed touring the Biltmore House and Village. Eli's (owner) very helpful suggestions on things to do and restaurants to try were perfect (Tupelo Honey for breakfast and/or lunch, Corner Kitchen for lunch, and Rezaz and Salsa for dinner, and more). Only wish we could have stayed longer, but we'll do that next time... we are looking forward to coming back soon!

A fabulous Downtown Condo Rental

My wife and I rented this condo for a relaxing weekend in downtown Asheville. We were very pleased with the accommodations. The condo had everything we needed! The location above the Lobster Trap on Patton Ave made walking to restaurants and bars super easy. Asheville is famous for it's locally owned and operated restaurants. This is a great place to stay for anyone who loves food!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

I cannot say enough good things about this loft. Extremely comfortable, impeccably decorated, incredibly clean...it exceeded all of our expectations. We were able to easily walk to every restaurant and shop that was on our list of things to do during our long weekend stay. The owner is very professional, had lots of great tips for things to do, and was prompt and responsive anytime I had a question related to the rental. Asheville is one of my favorite places to visit, but this loft is one of my favorite vrbo rentals ever, regardless of city. I will recommend this property to friends and family and I myself will definitely be back again soon!

We have stayed in few places that were as comfortable as it was stunning. We had the opportunity to meet Eli, she is as elegant as her property. The furniture, the art, the location all first class. Eli is a talented artist and she has approached this loft in the same creative and loving way she approaches her art. Just like art, it is how you interpret it. We felt that it was classy, sexy, comfortable and we did not want to leave. We are definitely coming back.

We had an incredible stay at this immaculately clean and beautifully decorated loft and would highly recommend it. The location could not be better for walking to local restaurants and shops. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to our last minute reservation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!
