This was a fantastic stay.for a month. The property was well appointed for everything we needed, beautifully furnished and felt like home from day 1. We spent a few hours the day we got here rocking on the front porch taking it in and relaxing. The neighborhood is comfortable and close to both Ashville and Black Mountain with lots of amenities in between. It is on the grounds of a cider mill and we enjoyed getting a chance to sample their cider. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace on an evening. Our hosts took fantastic care of us when we needed. We are hoping to stay again in the near future. Thank you so much! We loved this property and our stay
Rental was clean and as described. Owner was helpful with questions and recommendations. It’s far enough out to be quite but close enough to get to places if needed. Really enjoyed our stay. Would stay again.

The property was clean and spacious, and the owners were great. There were a lot of nice touches, such as the ready to light fireplace, water pitcher in mini fridge, carrots for horses, and the Barndoor Ciderworks next door. The wife and I enjoyed our stay here as much as our visit to Biltmore.
This property was beautiful and peaceful. Everything shown on the site is exactly what it looked like! Being from Florida and staying at the site in December, we appreciated the fireplace and cozy surroundings. Communication with owner was fantastic and we would definitely stay there again!

Katie was great about communicating, giving us good information about the area and restaurants. Good location between Asheville and Brevard, away from the traffic . Place was very clean and extremely comfortable. Although there is not a full kitchen, it is more than adequate for a vacation. We loved staying there and hope to return!

Very thoughtful hosts who brought us fresh flowers from the garden and cider from the Ciderworks next door.
We loved the gazebo outside as well as the seats about the fire pit and the relaxing rocking chairs on the porch.
There were lots of great books on Asheville and guides and brochures for places in the area.
Apartment was perfect for our sojourn, we will be back!

We had a great stay, it was very quiet, spacious and clean. We have no complaints and would definitely stay here again. We were in the area to visit Biltmore at Christmas which was only about 15 minutes away. There were drinks and snacks provided and even some carrots to feed the horses. It was a wonderful place to spend our time and money over less personal options. Thank you so much Katie!

This location is great if you want to be away from the city. The 15 minutes drive is via back roads, but the location is nice and quiet. The accommodations were great. Katie was helpful with communication leading up to our arrival. We didn't need anything while we were there. She even left carrots in the refrigerator so we could feed the horses! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others!!!

Hidden gem
The unit was perfect for what I needed. A small, quiet space to decompress after the days stresses, the place was clean, comfortable, and cozy. As stated, drive time to downtown Asheville is about 15 minutes with reasonable traffic and local restaurants and grocery are all within 5-10 minute drives. The lack of full kitchen facilities was a minor inconvenience, but being able to do laundry in-house and the general calm vibe of the property more than made up for it. Would definitely stay again!

From the welcoming glass of cider to the final goodbye Lirio Woods made our recent vacation perfect! Katie and Dan could not have been more gracious. The location is set in a neighborhood, but feels like you are tucked into the woods. It was such a peaceful setting. We never even heard a dog bark(did see a turkey cross the road but he was pretty quiet)! Katie has thought of everything to make you feel at home. The furniture is comfortable and inviting. Check out the recliner-it was my favorite place after a long day of hiking.
Thank you both for providing such a wonderful haven. We hope to see you again.
So glad you enjoyed your stay. It was good to see you two get out and about to take advantage of our beautiful countryside. We hope to see you again soon! Katie & Dan
About the host
Hosted by Katie Moore
I made my home in Asheville years ago to open a small cheese business. I was drawn here because of family living here and the beautiful countryside of Western North Carolina. I love hiking and camping (when I can find the time!). I manage a small creamery in Fairview, Blue Ridge Mountain Creamery, and recently opened Barn Door Ciderworks with my life-partner Dan.
Why they chose this property
This property is rural and still convenient to downtown. Located in Fairview, although the mailing address is Fletcher, it takes no more than 15 minutes to be in Asheville. The property is also close to Blue Ridge Mountain Creamery, the business I manage. Dan and I decided to add Barn Door Ciderworks to the property in November of 2020 so we have the convenience of living in the upper two stories of the building, and having one of our other businesses right next door!
What makes this property unique
Lirio Woods is located in Fairview down a beautiful country road dotted with homes between pastureland and woods. It is no more than 15 minutes to downtown Asheville, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, beautiful hikes, and the airport. Our neighbors are two horses who love carrots and apples, and on weekends we can offer a local place to grab a meal and something good to drink right next door at Barn Door Ciderworks.
