Fantastic location (walking distance to bars and restaurants), excellent amenities (we appreciated the complimentary beer, wine, and chocolates!), and so spacious (mom and I would lose track of each other because it was so big). Highly recommend!

Beautiful home! Our stay was wonderful. My family visited Asheville for the first time for New Year's and the home was exceptionally clean. Extra efforts were put in to ensure we were comfortable to include water bottles, wine, coffee, tea, beer, and other basic necessities. The location was perfect and everything was a short driving distance to get to. Will definitely be booking again when we return for another visit.
The home is spacious, well-kept and close to everything we wanted to do. It's 10-12 minutes from the Biltmore, the Arboretum and the Blueridge parkway. The neighborhood seemed safe, and it was quiet. The beds were comfortable enough. I have a bad back and it did not hurt. Our family had a great time and would recommend this place
Everything was as advertised and then some! So many nice welcoming touches such as wine, beer, candy, snacks, and even organic half and half for the tea and coffee which was provided. We would DEFINITELY stay here again. The spaciousness was particularly appreciated by our party staying here. Highly recommend!
Perfect for a visit in Asheville. Many nice details, great location to downtown and the Biltmore Estate. Many extra amenities. Loved the historic home and it’s refurbished interior.
This is a terrific property in a terrific location. Furnishings and amenities are wonderful, and the support and maintenance staff do a superb job of keeping everything tuned up and spotless. Very enjoyable stay in every respect.
Only place we’d want to stay when coming back to Asheville.
We loved the attention to detail and amenities they provided. Great ownership and management.
Comfortable bed.
The location was within 15 minutes of everything we wanted to do and there are the best restaurants in a mile radius!
This is a wonderful well stocked property. Beautiful views but also in a walkable neighborhood. Would love to return to Asheville to do all of the things we couldn’t fit in.
This home was a lovely experience. It is a beautiful property, well appointed and maintained. There is a sense of living history across all the spacious rooms .
Also it is located within easy access to all Asheville has to offer.
We loved this house! It's bigger than you think and has been treated with a lot of TLC. If you were looking to rent this out for the holidays you couldn't go wrong renting both suites and having a large family getaway! We'll be back for sure.
Considerable care & attention to detail both with the renovation of this grand old girl & her use today . We especially enjoyed the porches - we even had two deer visit us on our last morning.

Tricia was a great guest and we'd love to host her again! Darlene
We enjoyed our stay at the Atkinson suite in West Asheville. It's a cool neighborhood and close to downtown and other attractions. The hosts have included thoughtful little touches - organic half/half for coffee/tea, fresh flowers, Aveda products, granola bars & chocolates as well as wine & beer. The beds were comfortable and the house very clean. We definitely enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and watching the show the fireflies put on!
