About this property
Haywood House: West Asheville's Newly Restored And Most Walkable Rental!
The Haywood House is a newly restored, marvelous craftsman home in walking distance to the heart of vibrant West Asheville. Stay in West Asheville’s most walkable rental and enjoy the local restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, ice cream parlors, bakeries and groceries, while leaving the car at home!
It retains many features original to the house such as flooring, fireplaces and mantles, windows, and mouldings, but with all the comforts of home. The easy-access, one-level home has ten-foot ceilings and tastefully decorated throughout with period furniture, antiques, lamps and light fixtures. Haywood House is reminiscent of a time gone by, its craftsman charm updated with all the modern appliances and amenities.
All three-bedrooms boast king size beds. Eight can sleep comfortably including the convenient sleeper sofa in the living room. While the hall bathroom includes a tub and shower, the master bath has a large walk-in shower and ample counter space. You will be spoiled by the generous living and dining room, which includes an antique dining table that seats ten. The large kitchen is updated with granite counter tops, plentiful cabinet storage, and stainless appliances including a dishwasher. Dishes, utensils and small appliances are available, along with basic pantry items for easy meal preparation
A spacious, covered front porch beckons you to sit on the swing and take in daily life in the neighborhood, while the back deck includes a gas grill. Enjoy the thoughtful landscaping and gardens as you plan your adventures or relax for quality time.
Additionally, charge your electric vehicle with the EV charger in the parking area around back!
Steps from the front door, the food and fun of West Asheville awaits. Only a block or two away are restaurants such as Universal Joint, Westville Pub, Retrocade and West End Bakery. Shop for provisions and local treasures at the West Village Market. A short stroll brings you to local eateries such as Biscuit Head, Nine Mile, and Oyster House. The Beachem's Curve area or Isis Music Hall offer nightly food and entertainment.
For other entertainment, downtown Asheville is just two miles away and boasts restaurants, pubs, shopping, and the famous drum circle in Pritchard Park. Destinations such as the Biltmore House and Grove Park Inn and Spa are close by. Numerous local breweries offer tours and entertainment here in "Beer City."
Numerous nearby adventures await you nearby:
- Hiking and waterfalls
- Zip lining
- Skiing
- Climbing and rappelling
- Mountain and road biking
- Canoe, kayak, tube or a gentle walk on the river
- Leisurely driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway
- Hot air ballooning

About the host
Hosted by Adam
The owner, Bill, and his wife are retired from being self-employed retailers. They became interested in West Asheville after spending time here visiting relatives, including three children who live in the area. Bill enjoys remodeling homes and did most of the work himself to bring the Haywood House back to its former glory. Now, they look forward to spending more time here and sharing this beautiful home with others so they can enjoy the West Asheville community.
What makes this property unique
The Haywood House is unlike any other vacation rental in West Asheville. It is roomy and comfortable, the interior and exterior remain true to the Craftsman period, and most important, it is directly on Haywood Road, just steps from downtown West Asheville. You simply will not find another rental that accommodates as many people and is so conveniently located.
