We had a wonderful stay at this Asheville property for our 10-year anniversary trip. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was excellent, close enough to downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway while still feeling peaceful and private.We especially appreciated having a comfortable place to come back to after long days of hiking and exploring the mountains. The home was well-maintained, nicely furnished, and made us feel right at home. Communication was easy, and check-in/check-out was seamless.We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great home base while visiting Asheville!

This property is amazing! A full 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch house that is scrupulously clean, very well stocked (including local snacks for both people and our dog), comfortable furniture with 2 fenced yards for our dog to run and play. We were 5 adults and had plenty of room and space to spread out.The owner, Tia, is super responsive to messages and the location of the house is great. It's just about 5 minutes from downtown, but across from an elementary school in a very quiet neighborhood. We'll definitely book this place again!

We had an amazing stay at this newly remodeled home in Asheville. The house was beautifully updated with modern finishes while still keeping a cozy. Everything felt fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed — from the comfortable bedrooms to the fully stocked kitchen and stylish living spaces.The location was perfect: close enough to downtown Asheville, breweries, restaurants, and hiking, but still quiet and relaxing. The outdoor space was a huge bonus for morning coffee and evening downtime.The host was responsive, helpful, and made check-in incredibly easy. You can tell a lot of care went into the remodel and overall guest experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone visiting Asheville.

This was a fantastic stay in West Asheville! This house was a wonderful launchpad for a week of adventures along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Tia was an ultra-responsive host, sometimes replying within minutes! The house was exactly as advertised and was spotless. The bed in the main bedroom was super comfortable (can't speak on the others since it was just the two of us). The back porch was a great way to start and end the day (and our dog enjoyed listening to the roosters crowing from all directions in the mornings!) Speaking of our dog -he was made to feel welcome, too, the house complete with dog bowls and dog treats! I would stay at this property again in a heartbeat if I were in the area.
