About this property

Charming 5-star house near downtown Asheville & Biltmore, fire pit, dog friendly

As of July 2026 we have 307, 5-star reviews out of 310 total! There is a reason :) This 2,000 sq. ft. home, built by the owners in 2016, is extremely comfortable and close to it all. The common areas are spacious and open . . . ideal for sharing time together and relaxing. The living room has very comfortable seating, a gas fireplace and TV. The wood dining table is BIG, and includes 8 chairs. The kitchen has a large island with "breakfast bar" seating, clean stainless steel appliances and white cabinets filled with a wide range of cooking supplies, utensils, etc.. We outfitted the bedrooms with super comfortable mattresses and soft cotton and micro-fiber sheets, along with quality dressers and nightstands. The bathrooms, with granite vanity countertops, stay sparkling clean! We created a "hang-out" room in the upper level (with 50" flat screen TV). For your outdoor time we fenced in the back yard where we have a patio, table and chairs, gas grill and a beautiful fire pit surrounded by boulders and landscaping. It's just one of those places that feels good both inside and out, and we'd love you stay with us!

Centrally located, the home is just 4 miles to downtown Asheville, 2 miles to the Biltmore Estate and Village. Shopping, groceries and multiple restaurants are within 2 miles and less than 2 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway, I-240 and I-40. Everything around Asheville is quick and easy from our location!

Pet policy and information: though we love all animals, due to allergies we allow dogs only and just one per booking. If you plan to bring a dog there is a $100 fee . . . please be sure to check the box, during booking process, that you will be bringing a pet. Please note that property fencing does NOT return to the house so there is no contained area to leave your dog outside unattended. Thank you.

Book our home and you will see why our guests' ratings have put us in the TOP 1% most highly rated short-term rentals in Asheville.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great space for family or adult friends. Well stock kitchen supplies and gas grill. Outdoor space was nice too. Comfortable beds and dining room table was large so we didn't need to eat in shifts! This property was close to fun places to visit like Sierra Nevada brewery and Western NC Nature Center. Thank you!

This home is a terrific option for visiting Asheville. It's close to the major attractions and is in a safe homey neighborhood. It was very clean and well appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable and they had super soft sheets. Because of the fencing, the backyard fire pit felt private for making s'mores. Lo and behold...they even supply the metal implements you need for s'mores!Stay here for your next trip to Asheville!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Ulrichs

Host profile image
Elyse and Dave have lived in Asheville since 2002. They love living here and are excited to have a place for people to stay when visiting this amazing town.

Why they chose this property

In 2016 we set out to find the perfect lot on which to build a brand new vacation rental property. Being a general contractor allowed Dave to design a warm, cozy home and make it a reality. Construction took place through the Summer of 2016 and the finishing touches were done in September. We hope you love this home as much as we do!
