We have stayed here before. We have family in Asheville and use VRBO whenever we visit. The house is exactly as advertised. We didn't want for anything while we were there. The house is not far from anything in Asheville. The area to get to and around the house is gorgeous and very relaxing. Arrival and departure instructions are clear and accurate.

Lovely older home decorated with charming country accents. Loved the front porch swing and the fireflies made the trees sparkle at night. The hosts are super nice and very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would definitely go back again.

Robena’s Place is the perfect central hub for exploring Asheville. It is a sweet mountain cottage, but you can be at Biltmore Village or downtown in a matter of minutes, and be at Pisgah or DuPont within an hour. Our family of 4 had plenty of room, and we especially loved the farm style kitchen (with everything you need for meal prep and cooking) and the special touches like fresh flowers in each room and chalk board with area recommendations. Communication with the host was excellent.

The property is situated in a perfect location, just minutes from downtown Asheville, the Biltmore or jumping on the Blue Ridge Parkway. What makes it stand out over other local properties is that the location is in a rural area so no traffic, a relaxing front porch with a swing and chairs to look out to the mountain. We were only in town for a long weekend so we didn't have a chance to enjoy the firepit or play corn hole but if you were staying longer this home would be a great place to come back to at night and enjoy relaxing or playing games with friends and family. Beds were comfortable and having two bathrooms made getting ready in the morning quick. If you visit this fall make sure to take in the Luminere show at the Biltmore -- it was excellent. Dinner at Nine Mile never disappoints! Check out the Folk Art Center on the BRP, always worth a visit.

The best stay we have ever had! We absolutely adored this house and plan to come back one day. The house is only a 10 min drive or so to downtown Asheville so that was super nice. The house felt so cozy.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Swann

Host profile image
Hello; My name is Sara Swann your hostess at our country cottage in Asheville, N.C. My passion is my home place which I named after my mother, Robena. She was an inspiration to me and my two sisters who fostered 50+ children over the years in this home. We slept under quilts she had made waking to the smell of homemade biscuits and gravy. My dad always grew a garden and was a minister who loved his family very much. I have many good memories growing up in this home. It only feels right to share this wholesome home with others.

Why they chose this property

Want to share my home place where I grew up.

What makes this property unique

Close to every where but yet a cozy country setting.
