The space had the best equipped kitchen we have seen. It was very comfortable, and had an amazong location near downtown and the greenway as well as hiking trails a short drive away. Michele is the best host and was so thoughtful with her recommendations helping us do all the activities we were looking to do. Also great restaurant recommendations! Thank you Michele!

Perfect Stay

My family and I enjoyed this place immensely, Michele has thought of everything anyone would ever need for a stay. The location in such a beautiful neighborhood is great and it's very centrally located. My daughter enjoyed the toys, toddler table, her own private room with bunk, and of course the chickens! We loved Asheville and hope to be back soon!

JUst right

As a 32nd anniversary get away from our adult children launching the nest, the space, coffee and beer bonus, and outdoor venue, were just right. Plenty of room! Loved the shower soap! Thank you, we were blessed, Tom

Great for families with kids!

The property is well maintained and cozy, with lots of amenities perfect for families with children. The only downsides are the driveway, which was OK with a Prius but quite steep, and the Internet was super slow. Luckily we didn't need it as we were busy! I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place to stay with children

Property is in an excellent location, close to everything in Asheville. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Michelle has thought of everything for children: books, stuffed animals, games, trampoline, swing set, tree house with zip line and chickens. My grandchildren loved it. Kitchen has spices, coffee, microwave and an induction oven. Nice climate friendly health & cleaning products. I highly recommend.

Great spot and amazing host

Michele was so sweet, was quick to respond and went out of her way to be helpful. Our daughter got sick while we were there and she was so understanding and provided replacement bedding right away. There was a nice supply of kids stuff and she had the pack 'n play already set up when we got there. The pictures do not do this place justice. I appreciate that she's trying to keep the shower doors out of the landfil, but you do have to be very careful when opening/closing the doors. We would stay here again when our kids (3 & 1 years old) are older and are able to shower on their own.

A Great Place in a Great City

My wife, son and I had a wonderful week in Asheville. Our host, Michelle, was very gracious and helpful, and set up the home beautifully. We walked into downtown Asheville to sample the sights and food several times. Her neighborhood has so many great old homes - it was a treat to hang out there! We definitely would rent again from Michelle if we are in the area.

Historic Area with a great location!

The pictures of the property don't do it justice. The unit was clean and had great personal touches and we loved the personal guide book of Asheville Michelle had left. The home is situated in a historical neighborhood in the midst of beautiful old homes and bnbs. There is a great espresso caravan right down the hill and pristine walking trails to UNC Asheville and downtown right outside of your door! Michelle included everything we needed for a comfortable stay and even through in some local eggs (from her backyard!) and pretzels/hummus. She was quick to respond and although we were booked up and didn't have time to chat, she always had a smile. One bathroom for 3 girls wasn't ideal, but the rest of the space was perfect. Will definitely book here again!

Wonderful!

Clean home in great location. The rental feels larger than it appears in the pictures. Many windows make it nice and bright. Beautiful, well equipped kitchen. Michele includes everything you could possibly need including soap, shampoo, snacks, coffee, tea, and even fresh eggs from the backyard residents. You couldn’t ask for a more thoughtful host!

Great little place close to Asheville.

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend and absolutely loved the place and the location. The property owner Michele was awesome! Great location within walking distance to downtown and a great historic neighborhood and trails to walk. We had 2 adults and 4 kids and we all were very comfortable. We will be back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by M Delange

Host profile image
Hello Fellow Traveler(s)!

During the academic year I am a high school teacher. In the summer I'm an explorer of places far and near: Alaska, Quebec, France, Costa Rica... and Asheville itself... as there is much to see and do right here in beautiful Western North Carolina.

In addition to teaching and traveling, I am a parent, writer, runner, appreciator of good food, film & music, and a fan of nice people everywhere. In fact, I'm so much a fan of nice people, as best I can I like to share with them the wonderful place I call home.

I look forward to helping you have a great experience discovering Asheville.

What makes this property unique

This Historic Arts & Craft Bungalow Was built in 1920 as a Single Family Home. Previous Owners Divided the Home Into Three Independent Apartments. When I Purchased the Home in 2005, It Was in Need of Tender Loving Care- a Restoration Project! With the Help of Some Incredible People, the House Has Been Transformed in the Past Decade. It is a Joy to Help Bring Such a Beautiful Home Back to Life, an Even Greater Joy to Share This With Others.

The First Thing I Fell in Love With About the House Was Actually Its Large Wooded Lot. It is Extraordinary to Be Located in the Downtown Area Yet Feel As Though One is in a Forest. the Neighborhood Itself is Full of Historic Homes On Expansive Lots. the Tree-lined Avenues Are Lovely- a Pleasantly Shaded Place to Stroll and Take in the Early 20th Century Architecture. the Neighborhood is Quiet, Safe, and Convenient to the Heart of Downtown Asheville.
