So charming and really a cute place. The living area is beautiful with lots of windows to watch nature, as well as the back deck. Saw lots of birds and squirrels . Plenty of space to spread out.

This was such a cute place to stay! It’s the perfect distance from downtown. We were able to walk everywhere but also were far enough away that we weren’t dealing with the noise and chaos of the city.

The Dragonfly is a beautiful eclectic older home that is well appointed and has almost anything you could need ( there is no coffee maker but a french press and pour over station is provided). The three bedrooms had very comfortable beds! Three bathrooms was a huge plus! We enjoyed the front porch and the back deck each day. Walking distance to town and to the River Arts District. Quite a bit of transcients n the neighborhood but also were in town as well. We were never bothered by them. Alll in all I would recommend!

Fantastic stay! We were a large group. The space for everyone was awesome! The proximity to downtown was great too! No problems communicating with host, although we didn’t need to while there, just checkin and checkout. We loved feeding the birds and squirrels out back and watching them gather as we enjoyed our coffee in the mornings. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time at the Dragonfly cottage in Asheville! It's such a beautiful historical home, with character and personality and within walking distance to great restaurants, the art museum, and other attractions. We loved that there were so many original features in the house - beautiful fireplaces in every room, antique furniture, original baseboards, etc. Paula was great in terms or communication and attending to our every need.

Oh my, what a treat! Just the home was a vacation treat! An older home with many new renovations —“So Fun” with eclectically gathering of furniture! It was as much fun enjoying the furnishings as it was perusing the shops downtown. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs apartment! So well-equipped, you need not bring much of anything. Kids and families stayed upstairs. Thank you, Paula!

Like most areas of Asheville, this neighborhood, has a high concentration of homeless people on the street. However, we had no issues with safety while staying at this house. The house is very old but has a lot of charm. We enjoyed our stay.

Loved the unique home, so many fun things to look at. The kitchen was great to cook in. Had everything we needed to make some great meals. The whole family loved the birds. Having a fenced-in front yard was great for our dog. The internet was a bit slow, but we did have 7 people. Also, the bed on the first floor is best for 1 adult, maybe ok for 2 kids. Great communication with the host, always got back to me quickly.

The house is incredibly centrally located to get to Downtown, South Slope & Riverside, around a 1/2 mile walk to get to most places. (it may not feel that way, so be sure to orientate yourself b/c it is really walkable. The 3 bedrooms were great, loved there were plenty of bathrooms, the downstairs bedroom bath is really cool! As for sleeping, you can make it work if you need the extra 2 beds. One of the beds was in the main room, in hindsight, a sleeping pad in the front study would have been perfect to allow that guest a little more privacy. The outdoor space was perfect for a morning coffee or evening beer. A bird feeder outback & BEAUTIFUL flowers out front was amazing! The kitchen/dining room/ living room was a great place to gather, puzzles, games, reading, it was perfect. We had the pleasure and surprise to see a bear wander from across the street to a near by house to eat from the bird feeder. Our family enjoyed our downtime at the house as much as being out and about.

The first thing to know is that the homeless hang out in the park across the street. The home was musty smelling, and had serious signs of wear such as torn rugs, old mattresses, and the deck area was dirty. One of the upstairs bathrooms is in dire need of an update. Scratched up toilet, dingy. The deck area had ancient dirty chairs, and the couch cushions were left outside to mildew and get bird poop on.This was clearly the renter’s home and not really a a true rental. We were told check out time was 10:00 am, yet someone came to clean at 9:30 am, while one guest was still there! This rental looks cute, but I wouldn’t stay here again. I was very disappointed. The only positives were, the location within the city was central, and the downstairs bathroom and kitchen were lovely. This place was cute 10 years ago, now it’s just tired. I’m not surprised it’s for sale. The pictures on the realtor’s site are not real. Sad.

The kitchen/family room is amazing and such a lovely hangout spot for meals, conversation and games. When weather permits, the tree canopy deck is ideal for morning coffee with bird song or a glass of wine at sunset.

The house was clean and very cute. A couple of things I would have liked to know before we went. 1 the upstairs bedrooms have window units so the doors need to be kept closed to keep them cool. 2 the park across the street is crawling with homeless people. If the house was location was different we would have been fine but the park and housing authority right across the street made a big difference. We couldn't enjoy the front porch due to profanity being yelled constantly and we were not comfortable walking on the street after dark. We had intentionally gotten a house close to downtown because we were planning to walk everywhere. Once we got there we quickly realized that would not be the case. I wish this house was located somewhere else so that the neighborhood wouldn't hurt the rental.

Downtowns these days do have homeless. I try to make it clear this is a diverse neighborhood. Asheville Tennis Club is also in the Park so it is not all homeless, they are around. A church feeds Homeless on Saturday, in the park and at a church near by Wed and Sunday. I lived in the house for almost 10 years. I am an older white lady and I had no problem. I would walk my dog evening and morning and loved the front porch.
