Robena’s place was absolutely adorable. Very well kept, clean, and the cutest place ever! It was very obvious that this house is well cherished by the family, it felt like a classic farmhouse with a beautiful Mountain View. We are already trying to plan our next visit!

A little piece of Grandma’s

This place is the epitome of “going to grannie’s.” Nothing extravagant but has everything you need to feel comfortable. We loved it! It was very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay at Robena's. Checking in was super easy. The setting was beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch. The kitchen, while small, had what we needed to make a few meals. All the beds were very comfortable. The location was convenient for our visit to the Biltmore as well as to going downtown. Everything we needed. Overall, a great stay.

Beautiful and sentimental

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! This Vrbo was the perfect mountain retreat for our group of friends attending a wedding in Asheville. The house was incredibly clean, cozy, and well-stocked—everything from kitchen essentials to extra blankets. The view from the deck was absolutely stunning, especially in the morning with a cup of coffee. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax, and the layout made it easy to enjoy time together while still having room for privacy when we needed it. The location was also ideal—peaceful and tucked away, but just a short drive into downtown Asheville. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, making check-in and communication a breeze. We’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for any group looking for a beautiful and comfortable mountain escape!

Perfect getaway

Had a great stay. The location was convenient to town, but secluded enough to give it a mountain feel. The outdoor space was nicely, equipped with swings, rockers, fire pit, and grill. Inside, the house had everything we needed. We will definitely be back and recommend others check it out as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robena's Place. We spent a lot of time on the front porch which had a beautiful and relaxing view. The bedrooms were well furnished and decorated. This felt more like a home than just a rental. Highly recommended.

We loved staying in the cottage for the past few days. Very convenient to everything Asheville has to offer. The house was well represented in the listing. If you love a comfy house, and a beautiful view this is a great spot.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Swann

Hello; My name is Sara Swann your hostess at our country cottage in Asheville, N.C. My passion is my home place which I named after my mother, Robena. She was an inspiration to me and my two sisters who fostered 50+ children over the years in this home. We slept under quilts she had made waking to the smell of homemade biscuits and gravy. My dad always grew a garden and was a minister who loved his family very much. I have many good memories growing up in this home. It only feels right to share this wholesome home with others.
