We loved the location and absolute charm of our stay. It was a great home base for our girl’s getaway. We were surprised that one of the listed queen beds was actually an air mattress. We had to adjust our sleeping arrangements, but we made it work. Overall it was a great stay.

The home is beautifully restored; the beds and linens are top notch. The master suite is private and spacious. We didn't cook on our long weekend, but the kitchen was well appointed. We appreciated the owner's restaurant recommendations and tried many of the ones within walking distance

Amazing experience! I rented this beautiful home for the weekend as a Christmas present for my parents. To call this home beautiful is an understatement! Chalked full of history and charm. The owners have done a great job and you can feel the love and intention that has been poured into it. I encourage everyone to read the history on this home because it is fascinating. The host was communicative and great to work with. 10/10 experience. We plan to come back soon!

What a delightful home. Was a wonderful size for a family of 4 with a dog. It is very close to everything. I highly recommend this home. However, if traveling with a dog the yard is not completely fenced where you can let your dog roam on own and fence is not high - a midsize dog could jump over. You MUST have dog on leash at all times. But house is dog friendly. Had a lovely stay. Thank you.

Thank you for staying, and for taking the time to review us. I would like to clarify in case anyone sees this that the yard is 100% fenced. The driveway gate just needs to be closed after entering. Most of the back and sides are done in taller privacy fence, around the front Is a scalloped picket fence, as in the photos. I’m sorry if you didn’t notice the gate. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts! All the best! Mitch

This is a cool old house. It's comfortable and was pretty convenient for everywhere we wanted to go. I would say the listing is a little misleading - it is only fully fenced if you close the front gate and another gate that goes to the house behind, but that isn't really doable because of that other house, which shares the driveway.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed your stay! I’m sorry that you were worried about the fence. I wish you would have asked me, because there is a quiet, responsible and respectful lady living in the property to the rear, and she knows to keep the gate closed at all times. Anyway, thank you for staying and again I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay!

This Home was AMAZING!!!Mitch reached out days before our trip, with suggestions on restaurants, outings, events! So welcoming and helpful! Literally telling us he will be there if we need anything! We live in San Diego, and this charming home was what i visualized North Carolina homes would be like!This historic home has been so beautifully updated! It is romantic and modern with antique touches throughout! The location was PERFECT for us! Private parking for both of our cars and close to everything! Everyone slept great and we all remarked on how nice the pillows were!! I totally recommend staying here!!!! 5 stars for sure!

Historic Charm and Modern convenience. The home has incredible historic character that transports you back in time - you can truly feel the stories these walls could tell. But what really impressed us was the beautifully updated kitchen that had everything we needed and more. It’s the perfect example of how to honor a home’s history while making it functional for modern guests.The location absolutely cannot be beat! We loved being able to walk to all the amazing bars and restaurants nearby. No need to worry about parking or designated drivers - we could just stroll out the front door and explore everything West Asheville has to offer. The walkability made our entire trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable.

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to really share your experience here, I’m truly glad that you felt this way. I’m sorry I’m just getting back, this part of the app changed, and I just figured out how to navigate to this part. Anyway, the crew said when they came to clean they could barely tell anyone stayed, so I’d also like to thank you for that. Please come back anytime! I wish you the best! Mitch
