About this property

Top rated COZY home near downtown Asheville & Biltmore, fire pit, dog friendly

As of January 2026 we have 294, 5-star reviews out of 296 total!!! There is a reason :) This 2,000 sq. ft. home, built by the owners in 2016, is very private yet 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.

What a great home! Great location, nice size bedrooms, and plenty of shared living space - perfect for our family gathering. Beds were super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Dave was a great host and very responsive. Our only regret was that it was too warm outside to use the firepit out back. Next time!

This house is amazing! So clean, great location, perfect for a large family and they allow dogs. I loved the little details such as full length mirrors in a couple of the rooms and a pet basket with sheets for furniture and towels for their paws. Highly recommend and hope to be back on another visit.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions or requests. We also loved that they had a basket of dog supplies including bowls, towels and even sheets. It was very clean and plenty of space. My son found the puzzles to enjoy in the space upstairs. Only thing I would share is that if you bring your dog, the backyard is not fully fenced and the neighborhood has narrow winding roads with no sidewalks. It was tough to exercise your dog but there is lots in Asheville to do with your dog to keep them busy. We also had lots of activities at Biltmore and it was so easy to drive there from the location.

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!
