Like most areas of Asheville, this neighborhood, has a high concentration of homeless people on the street. However, we had no issues with safety while staying at this house. The house is very old but has a lot of charm. We enjoyed our stay.

Loved the unique home, so many fun things to look at. The kitchen was great to cook in. Had everything we needed to make some great meals. The whole family loved the birds. Having a fenced-in front yard was great for our dog. The internet was a bit slow, but we did have 7 people. Also, the bed on the first floor is best for 1 adult, maybe ok for 2 kids. Great communication with the host, always got back to me quickly.

Charming home in walking distance to downtown. Very well equipped and clean. Check in was no problem. Would definitely return. If you keep the bird feeders full you can have a wonderful bird show!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Baran

Host profile image
I bought this house in 2015 to live in and to do Airbnb renting rooms upstairs. After traving in Europe I was hooked on rentals where owners lived. I had a great time with my guest. Drinking coffee on the front porch in the mornings and taking them to see my horses who were boarded at the Biltmore. After Covid things changed. I added on and built the sudio apartment down stairs that rents separately renting rooms was not happening. Things changed again after Helene and all the floods. Thankfully this house had no damage, she is old and solid thanks to a reninfored foundation and much love and care. My Biltmore deal also changed. It was too expensive to keep boarding so I bought my own farm near my daughter in Alabama. I live in the cottage when it is not rented in the winter time usually,because I love Asheville. Otherwise you will be talking to me on my farm in Alabama.
I am a retired school counselor and history teacher. I love people and hope to develop a farm experience in Alabama where people can come stay in my guest house, gather eggs, milk goats, play with the donkeys, and horses. I am from Alabama, grew up riding horses and giging frogs on the creek banks. They can stay on the farm or take history tours with me. Civil Rights tours, old south plantation tours with biscut making, and hopefully river tours on a party boat. I live in the best of both worlds in the south. Asheville and the deep south farm.
I love this house and the neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

I love my mixed neighborhood. I choose it for it's convience to everything. I love sitting on the front porch and people watching or enjoying the garden. If you are scared of difference or used to gated communities, the neighborhood may be hard to get use to. If you stay and overcome any fears of others, you will learn to love it. I have had that experience with many guest, it opened their eyes and hearts. Don't give anyone money! Just smile if asked, look them in the eye. Say bless you or anything nice, then move on. In all the time I have lived here I am a single older lady and have had no trouble.The back deck and living area is a place of retreat from all the action out front. I love this house and put a lot of my heart and sole into it. The art is mostly local artist.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1905, this cottage is solid and unique. The updates have been carefully done to maintain the wonderful warmth of this older home. From the fireplaces in each of the main rooms in the main house to the tree house feel of the new addition, this house has charm and integrity. The old pine wood orginal floors and new oak flooring are all are traditional choices for a home like this, The large moldings around all windows and doors was carried over into the new addition on the back. It is a grand mixture of old and new. The steam heating is still working and is the best for not drying things out in the winter. Don't mess with the lovely old radiators in each room. This house is a unique experience with old real Asheville's cool. The music venues of Orange Peal, Gray Eagle, and the Asheville Ampitheater are all within walking distantance. I walk my dog alone at all times of day and night.
