The beds were very comfortable - loads of fresh towels. The driveway is steep, with a scary drop-off, which was clearly listed, so it was not unexpected. Did not realize it was a shared house - the lower section had tenants, but they were respectful. I watered all the plants, which were on the verge of dying, and the house needs a blender and mixer. Other than that, it was quiet and very comfortable.

Very comfortable and homey

Our group was celebrating our daughter’s graduation weekend from UNCA. The three bedrooms were perfect and the bathrooms were modern and clean. The kitchen- dining area fit our needs and we were had plenty of room to relax together. Be aware that parking is very limited.

Great communication with host. Didn't realize there was a lower unit that is also rented out but no issues with the tenants. Parking in the driveway is definitely tricky as is getting out of the driveway and turned around, but again, no true issue, just tricky. House was lovely with all necessary bedding, pillows, towels, soaps, etc. Location allowed us easy access to town or hiking.

Super convenient and a mountain feel

What a treat to be so close to everything and yet still tucked away against a hill for the mountain experience. Such a sweet deck, loved the beds and the shower. A great place to stay.

Such a cute place!

This is such a great place to stay! It's nicely tucked up in the trees and feels like a mountain retreat, but still close enough to downtown to get to experience the city of Asheville as well! We brought our 2 dogs and they were right at home and loved hanging out on the deck. Definitely a great find!

Host profile image
I have lived in Asheville area since 1999 and have grown to love calling these healing mountains my home. I love to guide others into enjoying all that this beautiful place has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This home is in a very peaceful setting and yet also so close to downtown Asheville. You can walk or take a short drive down the end of the street to the Woodfin Riverside park, where you can stroll on the greenway. The home is also very close to River Arts District and the new absolutely amazing greenway that takes you for miles along the french broad river.
