About this property

Luxury Downtown Eco-Retreat: Oasis in the City

Welcome to downtown Asheville's only luxury micro-farm and retreat! Exemplifying the true spirit of Asheville, Rose Knoll Urban Oasis is an homage to the adventurer, the dreamer, the artist & the wanderer within us all. (Follow along on Instagram @roseknollurbanoasis)

Our newly remodeled circa-1925 suite offers a private deck & entrance, pick-your-own garden, hot tub, clawfoot tub, indoor fireplace, plush king-size bed, full-size sofa bed, outdoor grill, fire pit, daybed love nest & more — all within walking distance to both downtown & the River Arts District.

Nestled in Asheville’s historic Montford neighborhood, this cozy garden hideaway encompasses the best of both worlds, offering a luxury retreat into nature -- right in the heart of the city.

You’re just a one-mile walk from the center of downtown (Pritchard Park, home of Asheville’s infamous Friday night drum circle!) and all of the best breweries and restaurants Asheville has to offer. If you’re in town to enjoy the music or art scene the River Arts District provides, you’re equally centrally located -- the ten-mile riverside pedestrian and bike path begins right at the bottom of the hill.

If you're visiting for a personal retreat or romantic sojourn in the mountains, take advantage of your personal hot tub (privacy screens included to ensure maximum solitude), indoor gas fireplace, clawfoot tub and private deck to relax, renew and recharge.

Tune out and tune in on your porch daybed love nest and -- during the growing season -- sample the tomatoes, peppers, berries and more in the “pick-your-own” garden on this eclectic urban farm.

Business travelers and those on work retreats will appreciate high-speed Internet, a dedicated work nook, proximity to downtown, and our quiet, dead-end family neighborhood.

Reconnect with nature and laze under the stars as you enjoy your custom outdoor fire pit. Be a kid again and cook over the open fire via our custom grill grate, or have a hot dog or marshmallow roast! (Complimentary wood bundle and S'mores sticks provided.)

Local libations and snacks, complimentary tea & coffee included to set your Asheville escape off on the right note ~

About the host

Hosted by Monroe Spivey

Host profile image
I'm a psychotherapist, life coach, part-time van lifer, and freelance writer. I've called Asheville home for over a decade, and love introducing guests to all our mountain town has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Just a one-mile walk from the center of downtown Asheville in the historic Montford neighborhood, your urban oasis is both in the heart of it all, yet a respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown. (If you visit in spring, summer or fall, you may catch sight of our neighborhood bears!) Walk just up the street in the mornings to grab coffee at All Day Darling, and continue on down Montford Avenue for incredible Caribbean fare at Nine Mile. Stroll down the hill from your private, gated backyard to explore the eclectic River Arts District. Or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy one of Beer City’s best brews on your private deck!

Downtown can be accessed via Montford Avenue — we’re just a twenty-minute walk away! (Longer for slower amblers, and shorter for power walkers.)

In town to explore the amazing art Asheville has to offer? We’re situated just up the hill from the River Arts District, less than one mile away and accessible via the riverside pedestrian and bike path a short walk away from your private, gated backyard.

Free street parking is available throughout our quiet, dead-end family neighborhood.

Uber, Lyft, and AVL Taxi are all readily available as convenient taxi services.

What makes this property unique

Our guests get the best of both worlds — located just one mile from the center of downtown Asheville, our property is a true urban oasis, offering relaxation and connection with nature on a micro urban farm in the heart of the city.

Note: as a working urban farm, there may be friendly workers present in the gardens (not on the deck or within the guest suite) attending to the land during weekday business hours.
